    no power on M35A2C

    thanks guys. I have two balanced 6TLs in there , cranked it , and took a little drive. If these batteries don't hold, I'm going to need new ones , as my trickle charge stockpile might be limping by now. I've bought regular truck batteries with high cranking amps before, and they did fine , but...

    no power on M35A2C

    the battery on the right tested at 18v , and that's the one I pulled ! lol .. so it looks now that I pulled the wrong one. Wonder if the battery that charged to 18v is ok . I'll do a swap around tonight hopefully ( while it's cooler)

    no power on M35A2C

    So a few days ago I cranked up the Deuce and drove it about 8 miles, and shut down to go into a store. Came back and tried to start and it gave a little weak crank and went to nothing , so I got it jumped off and drove it straight back home and shut down. I now have no power coming on. So I...

The Deuce is the 'classic old school truck' , no power steering , no automatic transmissions ( cept the A3 ). Multi fuel is a diesel engine but has the capibility to burn waste oil and other fuels. And you...

    Cleaning Surplus Wheels/Tires for an M923

    well ... , seeing the conditions under which they were stored and the results of that , I would reccomend replacing the Orings. I'm pretty sure they're a bit 'brittle' and they'll leak air 24/7

    I have the itch for the five ton

    welcome to the site . Can you register as a farm truck ? Pretty cheap to do here in NC , and as long as you're not 'in the business of ' anything but your own personal property , it gets many of us by

    General/frequent problems with the AM General HMMWV

    I've been watching them for awhile . They were going wayyyyy high for me , and even now , still high I guess . It's the utility value the trucks offer a civillian property owner. I don't see it there in the HMMWV yet. That might change
