That's good to know. I experimented with brake and carb cleaner to help get rid of all the crud and sediment that had blocked the drain cocks of my secondary filter housings. Your experience and help is much appreciated! [thumbzup]

Jeepsinker... When I mentioned the above (in an earlier post) I was actully thinking of the cost of 'spin-ons' for both fuel and oil. Sorry I did not make that very clear. It's been a L-O-N-G day! My bad. :-)

Nice info! Thanks. [thumbzup] It sure seems that it makes primary filter changes a whole lot easier!

Thanks for the reply! Glad to hear you've had success with them. Have you actually been able to effectively clean them enough to 'reuse' them, or is it best to just replace with new during a filter change? I spoke with a guy (locally) who said they're good to keep on-hand for an emergency...

Hi Jeepsinker... I've done some study of replacing the original system with 'spin-ons'. It had been on my original priority list, but since this (new-to-me) 1970 Kaiser Deuce has been effectively draining my wallet in recent weeks, I plan to hold off on the spin-on conversion until I can...

Thanks for posting that SS link! I had read it before, but must have missed a key filter number in the following post made by doghead back on 02-06-2007. Back in February, 2007... there was discussion related to: if the 'metal hump' on top and bottom of the FACET 035754-01 filter was an...

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones.

Glad to see you were able to get things right even without that elusive... soldier B!! [thumbzup]

Hi Folks... For the past few months I've been trying to learn as much as possible about the M35A2. There's so much information out there that I've been discovering that some of it seems conflicting and therefore... confusing. Please keep in mind that I am not an experienced vehicle...

Good to hear that you've got your deuce safe and at home where it belongs! Seems like it's been a L_O_N_G journey! Have fun with it! [thumbzup]

Just read through your entire thread. Fun read! Nice how you've gotten the whole family involved! [thumbzup]

Ha ha! Looks like the two of us were thinking and typing similar thoughts at about the same time! :-D Well... one thing is certain: RobDeuce and his dept turned out an awesome truck!!

I just took a look at the photos you've got up at your profile page. If possible... maybe post a couple of them to this thread so folks can easily see how nice your tanker looks after the conversion! As a firefighter myself, I have to say... you guys really did a beautiful job turning that MV...

It's not quite OD, but you gotta love the Joshua Tree Green of the desert. ;-) Nice pics!

Thanks for your service! [thumbzup] And... welcome from Arizona.

Ha ha! I hear you about issues with the 'wallet'!! It's not easy to slow-the-flow-of-green from the wallet to these trucks, but... it's all worth the fun and satisfaction! Good to hear that you're making such steady progress! [thumbzup] Any pics?

Looks like you all had a blast! Thanks for such great pics and vids! [thumbzup] Maybe someday, when the deuce is in top shape, I'll be able to head west and join in on the fun!

Welcome from Arizona! Awesome truck! [thumbzup] Have fun with it!!

Hi Folks... During a recent pickup of general surplus items at Fort Dix in New Jersey... I had an extremely positive experience. The management and workers for both GP and GL were all fantastic! Great people doing a great job. :D

Gaining as much experience as you can is always a good approach. You've got the right idea and hope sometime soon you get the right truck! BTW... Welcome from the Central Highlands of Arizona!
