    Someone hit my truck!!

    So, on the way home from work for lunch I get the call..."Everything is fine but someone hit the deuce then ran away." I just laughed. Get home to the wife, cop and a bunch of college kids. I'm still laughing, as far as I can tell she was going really fast down a residential street missed the...

    Spring Starter

    I love my 1970 M35A2, what I don't love are 2 shot batteries. I bought it back in 2008 so who knows how old the batteries were at that point but as of this spring they are 100% shot. Since the batteries are only used for the lights and starter I was wondering if I could find a work around to...

    Waterloo Specialties Power Steering Install Completed

    I completed my power steering install on my 1970 M35A2 a while ago and am finally going to post my updated install instructions. The instructions that come with the kit are pretty good but I hit a few stumbling places on the way so I figured I'd make it easier for the next guy. Instructions...

    Power Steering/Winch combo

    I've read all the power steering posts and definitely want to add power steering to my M35A2. I've also read the Winch posts and want to change my stock winch to being driven by hydraulics. So here's my question. Are there any issues I'm not seeing with running the winch and the power...

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    Gentlemen, First off I'm in Baghdad so don't have access to my deuce to check my theories so I'm hoping to get some good numbers. Plan on working on the deuce when I get back in 2011.

    Engine Idle Set Screw adjustment

    Following another post I submitted about my low idle of 400rpm the suggestion was posted that I adjust the idle set screw, upon attempting to change the setting I realized that the set screw had already been adjusted previously to the point where screwing it in any more failed to accomplish...

    Just got my Deuce the other day and it runs pretty well while driving, unfortunately it idles at around 400rpm according to the tac (and doesn't like it) vs the 650-800rpm that is specified in the manual so I'm trying to track down the issue, being a guy familiar with carbs my mind races to air...

    Miles per gallon T-case or transmission

    About to take ownership of first M35A2, assuming GovLiquidation doesn't screw up my paperwork again, but anyway here is my question. When I get back from Iraq deployment number 2 with some cash in hand I was hoping to increase my MPG. My understanding is that MPG is due to wind resistance and...
