RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M1008/1028 optimal tire sizes to offset I'll have to look them up on the internet. Eventually I want to put some kind of an overdrive in my M1008A1. I have five K5 Blazers in the back yard and four of them have the 700R4 transmissions. I think the Gear Vendors unit allows...

RE: Re: RE: M35 in the USF Homecoming Parade I enjoyed watching the video of the retrieval of the two vehicles from that mudhole and sent a link of the video to my son Jonathan Broadbent who also lives in Tampa. I want to get him interested in military vehicles but he lives in one of those...

I recently looked at an old M35A2 up in Cocoa Florida that a neighbor told me about for $700.00 - minus the axles and tires. I had planned to buy it until I checked my finances - the well is dry! Anyway, it has a Continental 'C' turbo multifuel engine and the usual drivetrain and I believe it...

RE: Re: RE: M1008/1028 optimal tire sizes to offset 4.56 gea www.gearvendors.com/index.html is the address for the overdrive units. The price they quote for the CUCV application is $2895.00. If they install it and modify the driveshaft for you the additional cost is $650.00. Their address is...

Sounds like a Gear Vendors overdrive unit made in California. You can buy a kit that bolts directly to the transmission/transfer case for the CUCV and yes it is expensive! With diesel running $3.50 a gallon here in Florida, a person would quickly recuperate from the cost of this overdrive...

Here you go! M35 air horns are the only way to fly!

I did use a fuse holder at first and continued to see 30 amp fuses blowing left and right immediately after startup in the morning. The fuseable link allows for temporary periods of high current draw which would normally blow a fuse right away. The wire is meant to burn up and break the...

Welcome to the site! Hello from Central Florida! I am fairly new on Steel Soldiers myself but have found this web site to be a complete source of information for any military vehicle that someone would ever want in their entire lifetime! I have an M1008A1 CUCV that I drive daily and have...

I just replaced a length of wire known as a fuseable link that is in line with the driver's side alternator. I went to a local auto parts house and picked up some 14 gage fuseable link wire for less than $7.00. I just hope that it is thick enough to use as a replacement for the blue fuseable...

My M1008A1 wipers only worked on one speed and I was about to change out the wiper motor with one that I had taken off of a K5 Blazer recently. I was looking at the triple condenser setup that goes in series with the wires feeding the wiper motor and discovered that the center wire had a broken...

Availability of parts for the Air-O-Matic p-steering system Hello to all of the individuals who have an interest in replacement parts for the subject power steering system. I just now got off the phone with a factory representative who indicated to me that no spare parts will be manufactured...

Thank you both for the very useful information regarding my truck. it is hard to believe that there are so many miles on it because it runs and drives like new. How in the world did you find out where it was turned it and attached to? I guess a lot of that information is under the Freedom of...

Spare Parts for the Air-O-Matic Power Steering System I just got off the phone with Arthur about ordering a replacement O-Ring for my power piston. I got my setup used from someone who bought a DRMO Deuce that had been sitting for quite some time. I will be calling the factory on Monday to...

Thanks David and here I thought I had a 1967 Kaiser Jeep! Where did you get this info? I still have to read that article in MV magazine once more and I'll probably come to the same conclusion. I appreciate all of the information that members provide about so many topics! Extremely...

Thank you very much for the reply Art! My piston is really going through a lot of air when I turn right. My low air warning buzzer goes off an everything! I'll try contacting the factory with the number you provided. I also appreciate the info about getting into the cylinder as well. Great...

Thanks you guys! I just looked at the article that emmado22 referred me to and found that out a few minutes before your post Kenny. I guess I am a little disappointed that I don't have a genuine M35A2C but it is good to know that my truck came with a winch fromn the factory. I bought a new...

Until very recently, I did not know where to locate the frame numbers on my truck because I just did not know what to look for. These things are quite large and for some reason I looked at them but thought there would be a much longer number to coincide with that of the VIN number. Kenny came...

Thanks for the reply! I'll have to go out there again sometime to see if you are right. Our pilot Dave Bennett kept the Huey out there while we were actively flying. It was really fun while it lasted!

You can also contact Matt at Green Gems Army Surplus Depot in Live Oak Florida. He sells on Ebay under the name of Green Gems Army Surplus Depot and has all kinds of fuel tanks at his place. Very easy and honest person to deal with. If you go on Ebay, run a search under M35 military and you...
