I expected to see a radiator in an inflatable kiddie pool! Hey! Wait! That might work!

That's pretty standard. Deuces came equipped with spare parts pre-positioned all over the truck... -Spare regulators in the doors -Spare lug nuts in the tires -Spare Con-Rod bolts in the oil pan -Spare sending units in the gas tank -Spare gear teeth in the transmission -Spare muffler bearings...

Economics 101: Supply & Demand. M35 numbers on GL will decrease. Sooner in some regions than in others. When this happens you will see huge price increases in the areas with low availability. & eventually prices in general will rise. Especially for the nicer trucks!

Yes, it depends HEAVILY on what state the car/truck/cycle/trailer is being sold to. -Some states will accept a Bill of Sale & a Statement of Facts from the selling state that they don't issue titles for a vehicle of a certain age. With this (& maybe a VIN inspection) they will issue a new...

Some states require a title. Some states don't require a title, just a bill of sale & maybe a VIN verification. But not having a title simply reduces your number of potential buyers if/when you decide to sell the truck. The laws of Supply & Demand then dictate that fewer interested buyers...

My M35A2 came from GL with a bolt in place of the shear pin... Pretty Common situation from what I hear! Seems that the Motor Pool guys were more interested in "fixing" the broken shear pin ONCE than they were with possible winch destruction!

Yeah, I just managed to find a pic of the stock unit via a search... (took a lot of looking, but I persisted & DID finally find one...) Yes, it appears to be the stock unit. I assume the extra space is to collect water, etc. THANKS!

Hey Guys, I picked up a full set of filters for my Deuce from Napa. The Primary Fuel #3511 is a short little filter, about half the height of the secondary filters. BUT when I crawl under the front of the truck and look at the primary filter housing it is just as long as the secondary filter...

The vent line also connects to the airpak/booster and to either the main draft tube (from the engine) OR to a separate vent line that vents near the air cleaner. On some M35 installations this vent line also connects to the fuel tank vent, BUT this vent system SHOULD have already been modified...

Silicone fluid doesn't ABSORB water, but it can't prevent water/moisture from getting into the system. With silicone fluid water tends to collect in certain points, causing some corrosion locally. Even in a water tight system condensation can allow moisture into the system, eventually...

Yes, you SHOULD check the M/C level again. It could be empty again because you might have pushed the M/C res fluid into the lines. & it might just not have reached the leak yet. You also don't mention if the pedal is firm or soft? & yes, it could be leaking into the airpack. You might...

Thanks for the update! Keep it coming!! Hope you can manage to remove some of that paint overspray w/o destroying the silkscreen on those data plates! Do it SLOWLY & take photos as you attempt to remove the paint, JUST IN CASE you have to get repros made.

The check valve is designed to let built up pressure out, but not let water in. Especially since the stock axle breathers are located on the axle, where water submersion is pretty likely. Modern 4x4s (& some other vehicles) use a system like I show in the pictures above. Conenction at the...

THANKS! :D (I can't believe I missed that! SO Obvious...... NOW!) :doh:

HEY, where did you find that tree that GROWS DEUCE BEDS?!? I WANT ONE OF THOSE!! What kind of plant food do you give it to make sure it grows a Camo Drop Side?? & If you pick it too early does it give you an M715 bed??

MAKE SURE that the premounted clutch is good before you put the old trans on the new engine. You'd HATE to get it all installed & then discover that you put a Bum Clutch in there! Might be worth AT LEAST slapping a new disk in there..... & check the pilot bush/bearing while you are at it!

OOOPS! I guess I should read the responses more carefully! :doh: Thanks for not smacking me around on that one!!

Just needs some Duct Tape & it will be as good as new!! :razz: ("Red Green" is my mechanic!)

Nice Summary! You've probably helped the next "newbie" avoid some of your pitfalls! Yes, that bearing preload is critical! Sounds like you got it right! (you can verify that it isn't too tight by checking the hub temp after a good freeway drive with an Infrared Temp Gun. & too loose is...
