    Visiting hours...?

    can you just visit a GL yard anytime? I'm going on a road trip soon and will pass by the 'CA, Lassen, Herlong/Sierra' GL yard en-route and wondered if a non-bidder (at the moment or for a current auction) can go in and take a look at the operation and trucks on site at that time.. Mike...

    EUC needed/ travel restrictions in North / Central America..

    2 questions: If one buys a deuce or other ex-military rig from a public agency (State/County/City, not Fed surplus / fed agency), or even a private individual, do you still receive a EUC certificate or has it been erased due to another party owning it..? Has anyone ventured into Canada or...

    Commercial Servicing..

    Are most diesel truck repair facilities able to do major/minor servicing on Deuce components? I was curious about any major rebuilds or even minor stuff when you are on a road trip and have a breakdown. How about the availability of spares/parts/etc..? Or is it up to the owner to come up with...

    lockout hubs all around...?

    Would there be any use/advantage/reasoning to install lockout hubs on all axles..? Curious as to having a choice at any time on which axle/s you want powered..I know most posts refer to lockouts on the front and 2nd axles and leaving the rear powered but I'm wondering if you have a failure in...

    Deuce Hours..indicator of use vs mileage?

    As I surf various subjects on deuces I always see reference to mileage and hours.. Some trucks have low miles and low hours, others have high and high.. What determines that a vehicle goes for rebuild and does that mean if a vehicle has never been rebuilt, say 4000 hours, that thats the total...

    ...are there different bed lengths associated with bobbed deuces..? M105, HMMWV, stock 12' deuce beds, different wheelbases, etc..any pic's of the differences/ pro's and con's of each..Just curious if the bobbed deuce would make a good candidate for a permanent mount (although sold as a...

    Is this really an M36?

    this ebay auction has ended (Reserve not met @ $5101.50.. )so I thought I'd ask a question. Is this really an M36..? The wheels look too far forward unless the axles have been moved or the size of the tires offset that distance. I asked the guy and he said thats what the data plate said (M36)...

    More efficient Deuce..?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm more concerned with engine/drivetrain reliability and smooth running than show-ready glitz... I realize mileage will be limited with that size ,weight and on/off road capability and I would want to keep the stock look..Just curious what innovations that people have...

    More efficient Deuce..?

    I almost hesitate to ask this ':roll:' as I figure those who wish to keep their rigs as stock as possible will be in an uproar..but here goes.. I'm curious what mods are available or have proven themselves, to make the deuce more efficient and a better runner and stop-er? Different turbo's...

    Expansible 'slide outs'...?

    looking up TM's.. Thanks to everyone for all the info. This is probably a simple but newbie necessary question: I was directed to: "Check out the details in TM 9-2330-238-14 in the TM section." The TM quoted above isn't listed in the Technical Manuals section, at least by that nomenclature...

    Expansible 'slide outs'...?

    How do the slide out sections of the various expansible vans actually work? Are there model differences in operation? Does each panel fold out and then they are all connected / formed into a box shape or do they slide out as a 'box' unit already to go? If its the latter, are there tracks that...

    Winch Spec's and rear pull...

    just playing with figures right now (read: no deuce yet) but anyone know specifications (pull rating, manufacturer, etc..) on the stock military equiped deuce winch? Are there different units on different truck models and are they interchangeable? Also curious if everyone feels the stock winch...
