I got my Duce (The General) all started today in the Upstate New York 15 degree (minus zero windchill) today and we were doing fine until I head lots of ugly squeals and squeaks from under the hood. It did not sound good. I could not tell exactly where they were coming from but it sounded...

Hi guys, I know this has been touched on before somewhere. My M35 shows at the gauge that it may not be charging. It has always held right at the tick in the green perfectly. Then it started to get in the yellow. I did some checking and found one of the headlight wires had worn through and was...

Does anyone have any idea why when I turn on my turn signals they don't flash correctly? They just kind of flash really really fast and very faintly. It happens on both sides and front and back. The flashers do the same thing. Headlights seem to work fine and everything else seems to work as...

I know this subject has been talked about a great deal but has there been any really good ideas to get a 12V from 24V that does not cost hundreds of dollars? I am particularly interested in 12 volt for high powered driving/spot lights, an emergency light bar, CB radio, mobile phone charger, etc...

Does anyone have any suggestions on some good tire chain set ups for my duce for deep snow and or mud? I am sticking with the stock duelies in the rear. I know some of you are going to yell for me to switch to Super Singles but I don't think that is the best idea for me. I really like the...

Can anyone tell me how the defroster works on a M35 in very clod weather? I am guessing not very good. I have an auxiliary form of cabin heat and I was thinking that a couple little 24 volt fans blowing on the windshield with the heat in the cabin may do the trick. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

I have not driven my duce in a month or so and today I took it out for a run. The breaks were real soft and I had to put the peddle almost to the floor to get her stopped. The air pressure is fine and I can hear the air pressure release when I take my foot off the break. There is no sign of...

Can anyone tell me where I can find a low pressure regulator for a fording kit? I understand that these were pretty common on the 5 tons but not so much on the duces. The unit takes the full air pressure from the compressor and reduces it to about 2.5 psi. I am looking for just the regulator...

I have a problem with one windshield wiper motor shaft that prevents the wiper from working. Does anyone know where I can get another wiper motor shaft? The knurling and threads on the end has been stripped so the wiper blade does not move while the shaft is turning. I just need the shaft and a...

Hey guys. Here's a quick question for ya. I have a passenger side headlight out. I thought it was a light bulb so I bought one and replaced it. Well it was not the light bulb I guess because the hew one does not work either. Does anyone have a suggestion how to locate the problem? I was going to...

Hey everybody, I have a quick question I 'm hoping someone can answer. I am in need of the little shaft that the windshield wiper is bolted to. It has a little "thumb grip" on the inside of the cab and the other end that sticks out of the cab through the wiper motor is threaded and the wiper is...

Here is a question for everyone. Could the blower motor on my cab heater draw so much power it puts my ampmeter into the yellow? My ampmeter was always squarely in the green until I got my cab heater going. Now with the engine running at idle when I turn the cab heater on the ampmeter jumps to...

Okay. Here is one for you. I just got my cab heater hooked up and took a couple hour drive today. I visited Mangus580 and had a nice time but to short. Anyway I decided to run my cab heater on hi to see how it worked. Seemed to work okay but I noticed that it seemed to draw a lot of electricity...

I would like to get a set of new wiper blades for my Duce and I have seen where some guys will go to a 13" blade from the 11" stock blades. Can anyone tell me how I can do this without modifications. It's storming up here and I should have done this months ago! aua Any help with part numbers...

I would like to make my own fording kit for a M35A2 multifuel. From what I see it looks like I should run vent lines to each axle vent. I should also run a vent tube to the air compressor. I need to get a new gasket for my fuel tank cap. The gasket for the oil fill cap seems to be good. My...

Well I just wanted to give everyone an update on my 72 AM General. I have attached the photos. I got my Duce through GL out of Fort Drum in Watertown, NY. The truck was in pretty good condition (I thought) when I got it. The cargo box was rusted away badly from the very bad winters we get in...

Hey guys. I just had a guy look at my engine on my M35 I bought from GL in Aug. He told me that the truck is no longer a Multifuel. He told me the Army had changed it to just diesel. He said that is best. I don't think so. I really liked the idea of a multifuel. What are your thoughts? Is it a...

On my duce I have noticed a snaping or poping sound coming from the passenger side firewall area that was not there before. It sounds like a relief valve of some kind. I don't remember hearing this before. When I got the truck the low pressure buzzer was disconnected so I connected it for...

Hi everyone, I guess I've done it now. I made a date with the paint man for the first week of September. I would like to put my 72 Multi-Fuel Duce back to what she looked like when she left the factory. From what I read it looks like Gillespie (24087) seems to be the way to go for a 72. I plan...

I'm looking for a good cargo box in the Upstate New York or Upper PA area that someone would like to get rid of. Standard box would be fine a drop side of course would be better. Thanks for all you help. I'm going to paint my truck in a few weeks and I was thinking now would be the best time to...
