    24V LED light bulbs

    So, which is better, a red LED inside the housing with a red lens cover (tailight assembly on a M37, etc) or a white LED inside the housing with the red lens cover?? I read somewhere that it was better to have red LED even though you have red lens cover to convert a white one to red (as it does...

    Biodiesel manufacturing on the cheap

    I use an applesead and figured out that bit about the extra manifolds and getting it higher up just by looking at the setup... and by looking at a few of the links provided showing how other folks assembled their verisons on the page... GirlMark is actually going to be holding a few classes...

    Parting out M135/211 and some M35's...

    I've sent everyone's wish list to my buddy (stuff posted on the forums and by PM as of this morning) so we'll see what he can snag this weekend. I offered to help him pull the parts, but was told that the deal was "one person, with only hand tools..."

    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    I wish that somebody had told me at the rally... It would have looked real nice on my Cummins powered M37...

    Parting out M135/211 and some M35's...

    Folks, A buddy of mine is working on collecting parts from a bunch of trucks near him that are scheduled to be crushed in the next month of so... Several of them are M135/M211 and varients (a few tank trucks, dump, and tractor versions as well...) and he wanted to know what folks...

    Interesting Trailer on Ebay

    No, the front gate is not the only difference (I have a M104 and a M105 in the yard right now...) The M104 has a front gate, and required a different front landing leg than the M105 in order for the front gate to sit flat when open. The front landing leg on the M104 does not come above the...

    new guy here-- glad to be aboard

    Get a "cheap" plane ticket to RDU, call local MV owner to arrange for pickup at airport, ride/drive up to Aberdeen in his M37 or M35A2C (not sure which one will be making the trip this year...).... Convince him that he really "needs" to make a trip to Florida for a vacation so that he can...

    What makes a deuce a deuce?

    Ahh, yes... I knew I would have to add something and you just reminded me what it was.... When a guy (you just know he is a vet...) walks up and starts talking about your truck, and tells you a story about his (or her) time in the service with a reference to a truck (just like yours, or...

    I need a longer shifter.

    The longer shift lever was fitted to the M37B1 and is easy to swap (just have to loosen one bolt) with the shorter unit fitted to the M37 transmission. If you can't find somebody with a B1 that wants to part with a shift lever, give Bill Lammers in Florida a ring as he has an extension for...

    What makes a deuce a deuce?

    I'll likely have more to say at a later date, but I think everyone has pretty much covered my first impressions... I'll add though that my M35's, and my M37 (and to a lesser extent my M38) are very "honest" vehicles... They look just like what they are: tough, hard working, dependable...

    new guy here-- glad to be aboard

    And a big hello from North Carolina... Of course, I'll be scratching my head to figure out what you can bring down to Aberdeen for me in May... I'm also looking forward to your participation in the 2006 East Coast Convoy (folks, Ziggy didn't say, but he does a great job running convoy...

    What states have you driven your deuce in?

    Since we are just talking about the M35's... North Carolina Virginia Maryland District of Columbia (not a state, but what the hey...). If we were talking about the M37, we'd have a much longer list... :)

    Stuck Steering Wheel

    Glad to hear that it came off, even if it did in more than one piece... Let me know when you need a replacement as the one that I have is just hanging out on the shelf...

    Anyone near Cherry Point NC?

    Stuck Steering Wheel

    Kroil, a rubber mallet, your steering wheel puller, time, patience... Lots of patience, and Kroil, and PATIENCE... If you really wank it up, let me know as I have a good takeout steering wheel hanging from a hook in the shop... Best thing you have done so far is to walk away and give it a...

    convoy light brackets

    I installed an extra round convex "spot" mirror on the top of the west coast mirror brackets on my M35A2C just so I could see the tree branches hitting my convoy lights and, more importantly, see if I am going to hit them on the canopy over a fuel pump or the beam on a shop door. I've had to...

    MVs headed to scrap, anyone need any parts?

    Geez, I just read this and I'm droolling over the M37 front fenders.... Straight ones are getting harder to find, and if it's got a good gas tank I'd want it as well... Got a buddy who is looking at a truck that has no bed.... If it's got a tailgate or any of the troopseat hardware...
