    M35A2 Leans to the Right Always

    I noticed ever since I got my deuce several months ago that there is a defined list to the right every time I look at it. I am wondering if there is a known condition with the deuce that causes this or is it normal for this truck to lean one way or the other. There is nothing underneath that...

    A Leaking Winch!

    When I bought my truck I envisioned myself being the rescuer of in my town of Leesburg, where I roamed the 2 foot snow covered roads pulling hapless Ford Focuses from the ditches with my winch and 10 wheel drive M35 in perfect Ted Nugent style. Well, near zero snowfall so far this year but...

    Jiffy Lube As a Source....NOT!

    I finally went into town today and asked Jiffy Lube if I could have access to their waste engine oil or transmission fluid. I was told that they have three 1000 gallon tanks under the floor storing all waste fluids. I was then told that they sell it to a recycler for $1.50 a gallon. My...

    Water In the Air tank

    Yesterday I installed the two pull cord air tank valves that allow one to drain the water from the air tanks without crawling the truck. When I opened the valves to drain them or let the air out a small amount of an oily mixture came out so I am asking if this is normal. It was the inner tank...

    Rear Axles are not Aligned

    I was looking at the truck (1980 M35A2) from afar last night and noticed that the rear axles do not line up. The rear most axle is shifted about 4" to the right from the forward axle. It could be that the front rear axle is shifted to the left but it looks more that the rear is shifted right if...

    My Only Truck and Now I Need a Truck..

    Kind of a strange thread title but this 1980 M35A2 is my only truck now. I sold my garage queen perfect condition 1978 Jeep Cherokee and then my 2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty 6.0 and bought this. I must now go and pick up my motorcycle in Yorktown, VA (from Leesburg, VA). A trip of about 185 miles...

    Deuce won't crank.

    I used the fantastic search feature before posting this and got nothing. After putting the title in the site warned me to look at similar threads before starting a new thread and I got a nice story about a deuce pulling a mini-van from a ditch. So there is my apology for those that will say to...

    My new to me 1980 M35A2

    After years and years of toying with the idea of getting a deuce I finally bit the bullet and just did it. I did it without really thinking about it. I had an immaculate 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief in the garage that I did not drive often enough to warrant the space it took up. My jeep was a museum...
