I would very seriously consider repacking all the bearings. Before you start have the bearings and races located in case you need them. I would plan on 50% of the total being bad and it would not be a bad idea on changing seals since you are in there. I'd also pull the boots back on the wheel...

If he can put a volt meter on the large cable coming out of the alternator (under the cover) he can check the output. Prick the insulation and check it rather than removing the cover because you have to disconnect the battery to do this to not damage the alternator. If it is only 24 volts or...

10 minutes but a "Quality" 10 minutes it was. I really like the set up and will use it if I move to a state that makes me hang a plate. :D jimm1009

The "Government Reported Acquisition Cost" of my 1984 M1009 built 07/84 was $17,390. This is from the document that was hanging on the front bumper from DRMO back in 1995 when there was no G.L. I kept the document for historical reasons. jimm1009

That is correct. Most owners that have plates mount them on the left rear mudflap with a light above it. The amperage for a 24 volt bulb is 1/2 of the amperage for the same bulb in a 12 volt version so if it is good fro 12 then it will work for 24 volts even better. NAPA has a nice license plate...

I'm interested in the trailer light plug. I'm surprised that they did not use amber or a seperate red light for European truck turn signals. When I lived in Germany the German military trucks had amber turn signals to the best of my recollection but that was 20 years ago now and these were...

I did this with mine when my spedo broke. I put the new one in at 0000 and just make a white on black label in #8 font that said "add 63,709.3 miles" and it has been working for 145,000 miles. I don't see a problem as parts brake from time to time. Not to hijack this thread but I have now...

Along these lines does anyone have a brand new bow that they could measure and perhaps post the dimensions on? The width and thickness is easy but the actual overall width as bent and the total height of the arc would help for duplication. :?: jimm1009

Yes I did Tim and you have been elected to help me rescue it and bring it home. Bot not with YOUR wrecker :) I was just wanting to know about the difference in electrics on the rear but they are basically the same to stay NATO compliant. Jim

Is the mini light the same as what we would call a side marker or tail marker as you would see on US registered 18 wheelers? Thanks jimm1009

80 to 90 is "way wrong" as my grandaughter says. I just called my NAPA store today for this reply (next to where I work) and with the corporate discount it is $25.46. Retail is about 30.00 Something is WRONG. I would ask for a price check on that tool if it is an OTC. jimm1009

Napa is an OTC dealer but they may not actually have it in stock. My NAPA store can order a tool and if is in the whare house in New Orleans they will have it in Lafayette, LA the next day for me. A little $$ but when you need it you need it. See picture attached. One is the OTC1907 for the...

That truely sucks! I say put 50,000 volts on it and next time you'll find their charred skeleton still nearby but other than that I would definetly ask for the security footage if it is in a storage for hire facility. Let us know how things turn out. On a side note, I did see someone here in...

W.M. has a good idea there. A M36A2 bed has 5.8 feet more bed space than a standard M35A2 bed according to some reliable intel that I received yesterday in another thread on M36 beds. The comparison is the S250 shelter that just fits into the standard bed has 70 inches to spare in the M36 bed...

I feel your pain. I don't live in Kentucky but was born across the river in Evansville so I am aware of title problems in other states. I volunteered to wright an information letter for the state of Indiana while I was still there to help the county offices deal with and more fully understand...

I agree as someone who passed up 1/2 century too it is harder and harder to keep it off and sooooooo easy to put it on. Lack of exercise due to the desk job and stress of the "today" world is not helping. But we can drive our trucks a little more and wash them a little more and, and , and...

Does anyone have the TM that contains the wiring diagram for a Deuce made for a European country? I am interested primarily in the rear truck lighting and trailer socket for a European Deuce. Perhaps one that was made for Germany or England or Norway?? These would not be the same as a truck...

Yes it was work but it had to be a labor of love. You got to do it in the Deuce! It simply could not be any better than that! :smile: jimm1009

M36a2 In reviewing the TM for general information on the M36A2 I am seeing here that the bed is 4 feet longer in the M36A2 truck. If this correct? I am looking for the inside dimension but not exact...a close measurement will be fine. Also from the same TM the other general data reads to be...

What about stacking the top one inside the bed of the lower one with it's tires / wheels removed. A 4x4 or 6x6 saw horse on the wheel well with lateral bracing may work if the axle with hubs wiill fit inside. It would work pretty well, would probably be more agreeable to by GL loaders, and would...
