    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Alright folks, we're barely two months out. You need to make sure you're spreading the word to your military vehicle enthusiast friends that aren't on SS. This is a big, national sized event with attendance numbers that very few events can top. The weather is beautiful fall Ga. weather, we...

    My new (to me) m35a2

    Give us the first 4 digits of the VIN and we'll tell you which it really is. Wasps love army trucks. Only about 15% of M44's were ordered by the military with winches and none would have left the factory with a winch but a non-winch dataplate. So you have: A. A non winch truck someone...

    Move mobile home with deuce

    I've never moved a mobile home, does it have a traditional ball hitch? If so, I don't think you're going to get it on the pintle, even if it's a 2 5/16". Sounds like you just need to get a receiver hitch mounted to your truck. Otherwise, I think you'll have no problems whatsoever, especially...

    Torque specs. on the fuel filter bolts

    You're thinking of the oil filters. If he puts 60 ft. lbs on the fuel filter bolts they will definitely leak.

    Drink mover

    Years ago, when I decided I wanted a deuce and went to my first event and saw a Mule, I thought it was awesome and amazing. They are great fun. I am lucky to have one.

    We appreciate everyone's patience about this matter which concerns all of us. There has been a comprehensive, behind the scenes action to find out what the true basis of this stoppage is: Is it truly EPA Clean Air Act issues or is that the cover story for something else (safety guildelines...

    M35a2 stalling when hot?

    When is the last time the filters were changed, are you draining the water out of them and is the in-tank electric pump working?

    deuce making oil.

    I just went through this on my personal truck. So there are more or less, 5 places the system can be compromised. The FDC, which isn't an issue in your truck. The booster pump seal. The throttle shaft o-ring in the IP Theoretically, the piston in the hydraulic head can be worn enough to leak...

    Some DUKW's go south for the Summer

    Ha! I strongly considered it when I saw it. The cost of transport, logistical difficulties and who knows what was missing and the corrosion scared me off. Although I realize no 70+ year old amphibious truck is going to be rust free, I felt like this one was past where I wanted to begin. The...
