Does anyone know if GL has a forklift at the Hooks Texas base. I have two M105 trailers to pick up and will probably do the flipped transport technique if I can use the forkilft or they will run the fork lift for me. jimm1009

My in tank pump stopped working about 1 month ago. I've driven it to work about three times since it quit but have always started it cold and then shut it off for the day and then driven it home in the evening. No hills here in Louisiana and about 17 miles one way on the highway with some stop...

I would like to hear from the owner / operators of the Multifuel engines that use the Lucas additive in their oil and also in their fuel systems too. I was at the local NAPA store and another truck owner came in and he swears by the engine oil additive for his diesels but they are more modern...

I did some research on the M105A1 trailer and the A2 parts are listed but not the A1. I am going to go through my hubs and brakes in a couple of weeks on my M105A1. I do have the TM but was wondering if any one has a NAPA or Timken part number for the bearings, outer races, and the hub seals? If...

I troubleshot my brake light system and found that my hydraulic brake switch (old style) has failed. I know that there is a PS Magazine article on the conversion to the Air Brake Switch but practicly speaking, where can you order the entire kit? The electrical connections are the easy parts but...

Has anyone performed or attempted to perform a 2nd front axle installation on a Deuce for offroad-only applications? It seems possible to install and drive the 2nd axle jsut as the rears are installed and driven. Pictures would be nice too if possible. :-D :-D It seems like it could be a real...

My friend is making a trip to Phoenix from Little Rock. The trip to Phoenix is full but he has a small, 5th wheel trailer behind his 1 ton Dodge P.U. that is empty coming back. This was an uplanned, last minute trip for him but he can carry up to 5,000 lbs. from Phoenix, AZ area back through...

Hello out there. I'm pulling my radiator out due to some structure coming un-soldered. My anti-freeze & water is blue. Has anyone proven that the genuine army purchased antifreeze is any better than civy green stuff or are there recommendations for antifreeze replacement? jimm1009 :roll:

Hello out there. I was wondering if any has changed the ball joints on their M1009 front axle yet. I think that I need a OTC 7080 which is a 1 inch spanner nut socket for the upper nuts. Can anyone confirm that? :lost: Thanks, jimm1009

I know that I'm going to get Flamed for this because I'm appealing for some quick information from the-more-wise than-me operators of the Deuce multifuel engines. I was driving into town today and I noticed several delayed excellerations. When I pushed down for more throttle on the gas pedal it...

Has anyone purchased or installed one of those famous Hupp brand black & chrome fans that the military installs on some trucks for aux cooling or defrosting? I was wondering if they are actually worth 20 to 30 dollars or are they simply the "Uncle Sam Approved" unit and perhaps there are better...

Would someone have a "currently removed" lever that I could get some pictures and measurements from? I am missing the engagement lever for the winch on the M35 truck that is sticking up through the floor next to the drivers right knee. I think that I can make one with a little machining work...

Do any of you M105A1 or A2 owners have a 1971 or 1972 that has the manufacturer's complete name and contract number on their data plate? My trailer had the plate replaced by Uncle Sam and they only stamped the serial number. I need to supply a manufacturer and would like to have the contract...

Has anyone ever replaced the wood with an aluminum or steel or possibly fiberglass material? As everyone knows the bows for these trucks sag after a while as the similar bows on the M105 trailer do. I'm looking to replace the wood altogether and was wondering if anyone else has had success with...

Deuce procedural question; TM9-2320-209-20-3-2 paper page 17-15 states that the wheel bearing removal tool is used to remove the rear spring seat pivot bearings. Is this really the same 3 inch, 8 point socket? If it is not what is the correct size and is it 6 point or 8 point? Same TM on...

Does anyone know what size socket is needed for the M105A1 wheel bearing retaining nuts? Could we be so lucky that it is the same socket for the Deuce (3 inches)? The TM give a part number but no size. Jim jimm1009@yahoo.com

I was wondering if anyone had a mounting bracket for a front light for the wrecker-only application used on the left front fender. The reason if that I think that the IR or Fog light in the single armored case will fit in this bracket with some minor modification. Has anyone done this? Inquiring...

Deuce volte meter in Yellow range Last night on the way home from work (yes it was drive it to work day) my volt meter went into the Yellow range just below but out of green range. When I got home it was too dark and I was too tired to do much investigation. Both belts were still on and tight...
