Vin One of my trucks had it just forward of the upper L/H shock mount and the other was just aft of the reinforcing plate for the steering gearbox but both were on the vertical portion of the frame in the left wheel well. If you find the VIN you may find a frame date too. This is not the...

Towing with a M1009 Don't exceed the rated load by too much. Look at the extracted page from the -20P. You have two 5/16 bolts that you pick up on top, two 1/4 bolts, one on each side, and then two 1/2 bolts tieing the plate to the cross bar. The plate is made from low strength material. If you...

Deuce air pressure My truck seems to stay around 100 PSI on the mechanical gage. There is no pressure reducer in the line for the horn so I'm prettur sure it operates at full system pressure. I purchased a brand new M35 truck horn on e-bay about 6 months ago for about $55.00. Jim

lefty versus righty With the threads clean on the wheels studs and you standing next to the truck and looking down at the top of the stud, the threads pointing out to your right shoulder are Left hand threads. While looking down on the top of the wheel stud and the threads point out to your...

There are no Automatic hubs available for the Deuce...only manul. This means someone must get out and lock them in prior to getting into the slick stuff. The axle is not powered until you flip the air switch unless you have the old sprag-style transfer case which sends power to the front...

title whoes I'm not usre about your state but they told me something similar and so I went outside, removed the data plate, went back in and handed it to the supervisor along with the paperwork and told her that I did not care if there was another serial number in their system as this is the...

rod removal It must have a little carbon on it. It has no lip or retention rings, ect. It is smooth and about 3 3/4 inches long but you must remove it in order to install a blanking plate. Try turning the engine over by hand to obtain max extension and then grab it with vise grips. It rides...

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...

Sf-97 The SF-97 is the Certificate of Origin to establish who made the vehicle, the year, the model, etc. If you don't have something offical that describes this data then they would probably have to list it as a home made vehicle and theat could realy be a P.I.T.A. No DOT compliances for...

tailgate wiring diagram It just came to me. I "think" that they mean the vent windows. Most cars andtruck do not have them anymore but they will fold out about 200 degrees or so. Am I right out there?? Please tell me yes or no. Anyway, as promised, here is the genuine Chevy wiring diagram...

electric window Barn Doors ?? :oops: I'm stumped here and DON'T laugh too loud at me. Ha Ha Jim, again

electric tailgate Jimm1009 here and it is wonderful to have this option that the military ignored. It is two power wires and one ground and all it does is switch polarity between the wires. I am at work so I don't have the information but I can get it when I arrive home at 18:00 hrs. I do have...

dead CUCV Try pulling out most of the glow plugs. If you get a mist or fog out of the glow plug holes you are getting fuel. No fog-- and If you have established good fuel at the filter then crack all of the injector nuts and bleed there first. Once you have dripping fuel out the high pressure...

I would highly recommend NEVER faxing or e-mailing the documents to them. It is realy really really really worth the 8 to 10 dollars to send it priority mail and certified too. You get this little green card back that is legal proof that they received it. Send a little cover letter with your...

title & misc. stuff In most states you do have to surrender it as it is the certificate of origin of sorts. There is nothing that says that you can't get a photo copy or even a notorized photo copy of it before surrendering it. I would make a copy of everything available in order to prove the...

handle Thanks to all as this site is the best! 20 minutes and I had four responses! Thanks to all and I have sent you all P.M.s Sincerely Jim

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...

Hoosiers It's really good to see more Hoosiers with MVs these days. I don't want to offend anyone else that is not a Hoosier but I was hatched in Evansville in 1959 and raised in Johnson County before leaving in 1988 to go to Germany and then to Louisiana where I've been since 1990. NOTE...

lugnuts Also the Kenworth dealers have them but I don't have the number here at work. I purchased some about a year ago but they were about $4 each. NAPA may be much better price. Jim
