M35 Bows My truck came with one bow, so if Jeepguy doesn't want them I'll take the bows off your hands. -- Lee

I need a set of bows, but not a top, so if no one else wants the bows, I do. Thanks, Lee

Help! I need to contact a motor pool mechanic at Selfridge ARNG. I bought a GL truck there and would a qualified mechanic to look at the truck and give me some information - for adequate compensation, of course. I tried calling the listed phone number at Selfridge, but all they have is a...

Harley - can you come up with a good web site address for tooldiscounters? I tried www.tooldiscounters.com and all I got was "Page not Found"! Thanks, Lee

How can I do a compression test on a deuce multifuel engine? I realize of course the first step is to pull out all the injectors. But what then? I've done this many times in gas engines with a compression tester with a rubber tip that you jam in the spark plug opening while cranking the engine...

WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! I earlier added this as a reply to a previous post, but felt it was important enough to deserve its own posting. I realize few of us have enough cash to take our Deuce to the local truck stop every time we need to take a wheel off or even change a tire, and besides...

True, heated metal expands. The real reason the "heat wrench" technique works so well though as as the heated nut expands, it breaks the rust which is holding the parts together. Just use enough heat (a propane torch usually doesn't get hot enough) to break the rust loose. I use oxy-acetelyne...

I'm afraid I have to both partially agree and partially disagree with Recovery4x4 on the difference bewtween the 209 series and 316 series manuals. The 209 series manuals are the earlier set. Many of the 209 series were clearly marked on the title page as "NOTE: THE STYLE OF THIS MANUAL IS...

Couple of questions. Do the "C" turbos whistle at idle or only when cranked up under load. I kind of like the sound of a turbo whining at idle and then really screaming when you wind it up. Does the "D" turbo provide any more power than the "C" turbo. I drove M35s new in the very early 70s in...

Actually I'm looking for a project truck in the $1500-$2000 price range if possible. No sense paying someone to put a lot of thier time & parts into a truck when I'd really rather have the fun of doing the work myself. I realize my price range is well on the low side, but GL in Columbus just...

I'm looking for a reasonably priced M35A2 truck in the Michigan or northern Ohio - Indiana area. I'm not looking for a show truck; that project truck that you can't find the time to work on is just fine. My only requirements are that it has a LDT465 engine; a clear, transferable title; and is...

I'm confused. I thought all M35A2s had LDT engines, but I've seen a few auctions on GL for M35A2s with LDS engines. Is this a mistake, a possible repower, or were M35A2s originally built with both LDT and LDS engines? Also, what is the difference between a LDT and a LDS engine?

A few general questions on injectors 1) Does anyone know where to get the plugs to close off the injector ports while the injectors are out, or a suggest a good field expedient plug? 2) Where do you get replacement gaskets for the injectors? 3) Do the gaskets need to be replaced everytime you...

1) BTW, does anyone know where to get the plugs to close off the injector ports while the injectors are out, or a good field expedient plug? 2) Where do you get replacement gaskets for the injectors and do they need to be replaced everytime you pull an injector? 3) How much do new injectors...

Its at GL. Tried the local contact, dumb as a doorknob. Hasn't even been out to the yard to look at it. Kind of sounds like she doesn't even know where the storage yard is located.

How much is a high mileage Deuce worth? I'm considering a M35A2 w/winch, but it has 80,000+ miles on it. Listed as "running condition unknown", I've seen some pics of it and it looks in decent shape. Its about 400 miles from me so I'm not real inclined to drive down and take a look at it. I've...

That rubber mat under the battery sounds like a good idea to me. I remember reading some place (possibly a GM manual or some such thing) that lead acid storage batteries should not be stored on a concrete floor as it will cause current leakage and eventually discharge the battery. No idea why...

One comment to add to the "GREAT LIST" for picking up your Deuce! After making all the checks listed by Sergeant Major and you are getting ready to fire the engine for the first time, DO NOT push in the stop cable and start cranking! Recommended procedure is to turn OFF the fuel switch (if...
