    I am in the midst of repairing a catastrophic failure of my front drivers side wheel bearing in which all moving parts were destroyed. I sourced the part numbers for the bearings and races, but I need to source the two large nuts and spacer/washers that held it together. I had to cut mine in...

    My Deuce is broken and I need help getting it back together

    I was driving it to pick up a few thousand pounds of rocks when I noticed a "jerk" in the steering wheel that was not because I hit a pot hole. I shrugged it off and suddenly it became violent and I went for the brakes to slow down and get it under control when I realized I had no brakes and the...

    I bought a NAPA fuel filter and it looks different from the stock filter

    I'm replacing the fuel filters on my truck and I bought the NAPA #3512 for the two large secondaries per this forums advice. They look just like this http://www.fleetfilter.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/33512.jpg They're a good match for dimensions but they have the big sheetmetal screen on the...

    Installed my Aurora lights today.

    I got them from user " atankersdad " here, brand new in the wrapper for less than I could buy a set of cheap 12v KC lights from Autozone, and they're way brighter. Their original function was to be driving lights for the M1A1 Abrams but I don't have anything that cool. Like all surplus stuff...

    900 series fan clutch on a LDT deuce?

    The LDT multifuel in my Deuce has a full time fan. I recently discovered the 900 series trucks have a heat clutch on their fans. I would like to stop my fan from turning when it isn't needed for a quicker warm up and maybe pickup some extra mileage per ton of fuel it uses. Pretty sure the 900...

    question about rear gladhand fitting

    I need to replace my emergency (pass side) gladhand as the boot is ripped and leaking air slowly. Its old crusty metal and I have a feeling it may not survive being removed. Is the inlet diameter and threading the same as a civ tractor-trailer gladhand or do I need to source another M35 specific...

    What style is the plug to fit the accessory socket on the outside of a Deuce cab? I want to fabricate a "work light" to run off of it. Does it have a built in ground already in the connector?

    Dumb question about using gas in multifuel diesel

    I have searched but cannot find anyone trying to run STRAIGHT 87 octane regular gasoline in their multifuel deuce. I am asking because the one I am about to look at is about 70 miles from me and gas is almost 40 cents a gallon cheaper than diesel. so. Straight gas, will it work? EGTs stay...

    What to expect to pay for "super single" tires

    Hello, I'm about to purchase my very first M35A2 as soon as I find one in the shape I want not on the other side of the country. After getting any basic maintenance necessary completed I really want to single it out (note; not bob, retaining all 3 axles). I have gathered that for a factory troop...
