I am getting ready to change the oil in my 1968 M35A2C which has the White 'D' turbo engine. The previous owner told me to use only SAE 30W non-detergent oil in this truck. I bought a five gallon bucket of 30W SAE oil over at our local Tractor Supply but want to get some input from the...
This is in regards to the fuse in the back of the voltmeter on your M1008. You are probably referring to the resistor that drops the voltage down from 24 volts to 12 volts. I don't know if any of these are available anywhere and they are always going bad which makes the battery meter...
I had an experience with a few split-rim deuce tires that refused to give in no matter what I tried! I even used a porta-power and the weight of the front of the deuce to try and break the bead with no success. What I wound up doing is "cheating the tire off of the rim by using a sabre saw and...
Anyone considering the purchase of the Air O Matic Power Steering Kit may want to know that replacement parts will still be manufactured long into the future regardless of the company's announcement to discontinue making the kit. I just spoke with a person named Arthur up in New York who is the...
Hey there! If any of you guys happen to have the installation instructions laying around I would like to obtain a copy! I am having some trouble with my unit and it may just be due to some adjustment that needs to be accomplished and then it could be something major too! I bought my Air O...
I bought a used setup for $250.00 but have some issues with the unit. Most of the time it works great but once in a while when I make a right-hand turn and straighten out, I hear a lot of air belching from somewhere and my low air warning buzzer comes one shortly thereafter. You can turn the...
RE: Re: RE: New Guy trying to get some Info?
Will the new guy contact me about wanting a nice Deuce. I live on the east coast of Florida right off of I-95. If you want to experience driving a deuce, come over sometime and I'll let you take it for a spin! Mine is an M35A2C with a D turbo...
Good Question! As you probably already know, the Solargizer comes with a generous amount of wire with the kit. I threaded the wires down the mast through the clamps after cutting them first. I reattached the wires with quick disconnect solderless connectors near the control portion of the...
Over a year ago I bought a Solargizer from an Ebay seller for $80.00 and just got around to installing it on my Deuce. I had tried to find the right place to attach it to but the ideal location didn't occur to me until I installed my convoy lights - also bought over a year ago. The great part...
Hello from West Melbourne Florida. A good source for the antenna mounts is a person located in Hesperia California - I think his business name is Military Surplus Parts but he goes by another name on Ebay. He gets $50.00 per kit and that is the complete kit with the brush guard and a lot of...
Hello from West Melbourne Florida! I will probably come with my M1008 CUCV unless I can get some of the mechanical problems fixed on my deuce. It doesn't sound like a big drive from where I live and the CUCV is a great vehicle to travel in. I just have to make sure I mark the calendar with...
The Battery Guage on most or all of the CUCVs (M1008 & M1009) is actually a 12 volt guage that should have been a 24 volt guage. You can test your guage to see if it is still good by jumping across the white resistor on the back of the guage with a 12 volt power source - just touch one of the...
Militarysurplusparts out in Hesperia CA sells the complete kit for $40.00. I bought four kits from him and I think he has several more. You can find his listing on Ebay, mostly in the M35 or CUCV area. He's the only one located in Hesperia California and this person is very honest and quite...
