    cleaning plastic lenses EASY!

    Just a quickie to all SS. The amber and red lenses on my M35A2 were in good shape but dingy. Found a quick fix instead of buying new lenses. Go to your local parts store and buy 3M Plastic Cleaner(#39017) and Plastic Polish(#39010). Use as directed and clean all those turn and brake light lenses...

    If I get a deuce how broke will I be?

    My suggestion: Buy one from a private seller as they will most likely have done some of the fixin' up already, as was my case. I bought a beauty for 5k! May sound like a lot, but this was a rust FREE truck with a fresh service and camo paint. Plus HE did the recovery and already knew the...

    Wobble while turning at highway speeds

    Keep Decon Bottle!!!!! That decon bottle is VERY collectible. Mount it in your truck to the left of the drivers seat. (Std. mounting position.) Also, if that charging canister is OD green, it IS NOT CO2, rather it is Nitrogen. You don't see many of these apparatus in M35A2's. The NSN# is...

    Here we go long distance deuce recovery

    The longest recovery I personally know of was Annapolis, MD to somewhere in New Mexico, 2300 miles. At 1500 miles, they lost a front wheel bearing. Otherwise, THAT WAS IT!!! Good luck, man. Do like I did, and take plenty of fluids, belts, hoses, oil, tools, etc. Re: tools; I found out...

    Vin Help

    The VIN problem you are having is the main reason I went thru a private seller who ALREADY had a PA title in hand. Cost me a few bucks more, but I DID NOT want the hassle. With PA title and a handwritten sale bill in hand, I walked into my nearest DMV in wild, wonderful WV. In less than an...

    Mr. Garbee, Have you thought about the email sent you re: "Kathy's Kountry" performing no charge at the rally? We will definitely be there with at least 1 M35A2, to rock n' roll. Normally I take my summer vacation in July, but am delaying it 'til the rally. Plan on attending start to end...

    Paint Help Needed Urgently!!!!!

    In addition to powerwashing, wipe the important areas down with some type of surface prep to eliminate any silicone, diesel residue, etc. Failure to do so may result in "fisheyes" popping up when you spray. JSH, auto parts store manager.

    Washable Filters?

    try this There are 2 products I would suggest. CRC products #5089 Brakleen, or Berkbile's #B101 Gum Cutter Carb. Cleaner. Brakleen evaporates quick, but Gum Cutter is stronger...pick your poison. J. Hill, Fisher Auto Parts store manager.
