Has anyone used the Waterloo power steering system with the saginaw 710 steering box. If so have they also upgraded to super singles. I have had the powersteering for a long time and it works great. However, having just swapped to 395/85R20's with the MRAP adapter plates I now get tire rub...
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...
I have checked the TMs and as many pictures as I can find and have not been able to find the dimensions of the M49 Ring mount. Specifically I'm looking for the ring itself. Inside diameter, thickness of metal, specs on the lip at the top and bottom. I work in a machine shop and really want to...
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...
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...
I was looking to relocate the 50gal stock M35A2 fuel tank into a jobsite box in the bed of the deuce.
My question: Is there an alternate tank that people have tried, possibly plastic vs the steel?
2nd Question: If there is a plastic version does it accept the stock fuel pump or will that...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm starting the thread to get a headcount and general location of members in SC. Nick names are acceptable. I'm hoping this will aid in any planned SC get togethers.

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...
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.
My goal is to increase reliability and offroad performance through relocation of sensative equipment. My first...
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...
Hello all, Getting my new acquisition into working order but am unable to road test because the break lights don't work. I have full running lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, etc. but for an unknown reason no break lights. Before I start tracing all of the wires, is there a fuse box...
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...
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...
I've just purchased my first 1970 AM General Deuce, YEA!!!! Here's the question:
I've been around a run away marine diesel before and its somewhat scary, has anyone ever heard of a runaway multi-fuel and has anyone ever considered installing a large valve on the air intake that can be operated...
