Getting my genset ready for hurricane season this weekend. Installed spin on fuel and oil filters and changed the oil. Attached 55 gallon drum to aux fuel port, but it is not filling the primary tank. Pump is running, but getting warm. Unhooked fuel line from back of pump and fuel is barely...

Transportation from NC to Louisiana Looking to make a deal on some tires, and a couple of seats for my Deuce. Inquiring to see if anyone is trailering from North Carolina to Louisiana any time in the near future. Bo

I have 2 M35a2's, one with air assist steering, and one without. Naturally the one without air assist is in better overall condition than the truck with the air assisted steering. My delima is whether I should remove the air assist from one truck and put on the other, or should I just save my...

Anyone have a good source for an in cab coolant heater kit? Not necessarily looking for NOS, but in working condition. Thanks, Bo

I read a thread late Friday or Saturday night about a guy that bought 3 gensets from an auction, and was selling one whole or as parts. He said IP needed rebuilding or replaced due to "gelled gunk". I thought I subscribed to the thread so I could look at it this morning, but cannot find any...

Loaded up deuce number 1 and heading to Garret's in the morning. This is a 66 Kaiser with a winch, and air assist steering. It has a dragging brake somewhere, and barely stops. Garret is going to assist me with repairing the brakes and re packing all of the berrings. I'm sure it is going to need...

I am picking up my aluminum MRAP rims and tires tomorrow, and the tan paint looks pretty beat up, and the bolts look to have some rust on them. Anybody have experience prepping these rims for new paint? I would like to get these rims pretty clean and spray them with flat black paint. thanks, Bo

Are there any current MV's that the 24 volt alternator will fit the same mounting bracket for the Deuce? I have 5 24 volt alternators and they have all tested bad. The guy at the shop suggested that I make a custom bracket, and purchase a newer model alternator that is still available to put...

I have the opportunity to make an offer on 3 complete engines with transmissions. The Auction house owner says they are supposed to be "good", but we all know how that usually is. These were purchased, but the guy wrote her a hot check, so she said to make her an offer. I know the guy got...

Anyone ever tried to install a Red Dot air kit in their Deuce? I have a friend that thinks he has a complete kit, and want to give it to me to install in my 66 Kaiser. Bo

Will the brackets for the 1 inch pin shackles from a 5 ton fit in the same bolt holes on the bumper for the Deuce? I have 2 of the larger shackles with the pins, and don't have the brackets to see if they will bolt on the bumper or not. Thanks, Bo

I am working on the deuce, and apparently have no voltage going to my accessory switch. A lot of wires were cut before I got the truck, and I cannot find 24 volts anywhere under the dash, other than on the 2 "new wires" attached to the start button that someone ran.Where should the accessory...

I will be looking to single out one of my Deuces, and have been searching for pros and cons for the aluminum and steel MRAP rims before trying to find some to buy. So far, I have found tons of information on all of the different style rims that you can put on the Deuce, but none relating to...

I've been looking for almost a year, but could never seem to close on a deal. I found a guy in Dallas that has a few Deuces. We started talking and he started sending me pictures of his trucks. I finally decided that I would buy 2 of his winch trucks. One looks to be in very good shape and...

I am working on buying 2 winch trucks from a guy a few hours from me, and neither of the trucks have gauge clusters in them. He stated that the military cut them all out before he got them. Is this common practice now a days? Also, how hard is it to find complete clusters for the trucks, and are...

Not paying attention to the bid times, I missed out on a 15kw generator on a trailer today being auctioned less than an hour from my home. Hour meter read 17 hours, and everything looked to be in good condition. Wish I had paid closer attention to start and end time on the bidding, it sold for...

I think I found the one (Added Pictures) Been looking for a few months, and I think I found my first Deuce. '67 AM General M35A2. Hard top. (whistler) 11K miles ( did not ask about hours) He has owned it for about 5 years, and put about 2500 miles on it. Owned by a diesel mechanic (shop owner)...

I would like to send out a big thank you to Jeepsinker for inviting me down and giving me some lessons on the deuce. I enjoyed looking at his trucks, visiting with him, and as an added bonus assisting with pulling out his friends stuck dozer.. :-) Hoping to have my own deuce soon so I can...

I have found an all original deuce in very nice shape, but it does not have a winch. I was wondering generally how difficult it would be to add the stock winch, and bumper to this truck, and about the average cost. Thanks for any input. Bo

Hello, My name is Bo, and I live in Louisiana. I am new to the site, and new to military trucks. I know a guy on another site that is interested in selling his '71 M35A2. It has already been bobbed, and looks to have fairly fresh paint on it. ( the lighter army green) His description is listed...
