Hello fellow MVers. Well after departing Louisiana in Feb 2019 after a 30 year stay, I am back in southern Indiana near the river. I still have a permanent LA registration but want to retitle it here. I have the instruction sheet from the state but have a question on that for Hoosier owners...

I guess I am too challenged to find the avenue to contact one of the admins for this group. I was trying to post something for the classifieds but "I have insufficient privilege's" according to the banner that comes up.

I have a person that wants the trailer bed from my unused M105A2 trailer. Anyone know if 4 adult men can pick the bed up from the trailer frame and hoist it into the Deuce bed? Yes it is all relative to age and strength of the 4 men but the average group of 4 men is where I have to go from...

That 12 point plug on the side of my hydraulic head started leaking a little and today as I was launching to take a 250 trip is started dripping about 1 drop every two to three seconds. I know that seal kits are hard to find but anyone know if a seal can be had for under this plug? I MUST get...

I know that this subject has been covered before. I have a M1009 with 12 volt starter and one alternator but all else is the same. Been through the military added relay change but the civy trucks had the same problem. Anyone know how to add the starter button mod so that when the key switch...

Hello fellow MVers. I had two wheel cylinders stick and the forward rear axle got hot on both sides. I have all six new Wagner wheel cylinders and all new flex hoses ready plus I am replacing all bearings and seals on all wheels but I just was not quite ready to do it so soon. What I need a...

Hello fellow MVers. I have had an M1009 that I have put about 230,000 miles on as it's first civilian owner. It was my daily for 20+ years until I decide to drive a car that was easier on fuel. Anyway, I digress. AS you can imagine, parts wear out at times and must be repaired or replaced...

I am purchasing property that needs clearing. Obviously a drop side bed would be best but not all of us have one. From the former of a M35A2C with drop sides they are extra noisy going down the road but they do have their purposes / advantages. My M35A2 truck is with-winch. What I need is...

It seems that the trailer plugs for the 2.5 ton, 5 ton, M38, and others use the same 12 pin plug. There are 10 wires installed and 2 pins that are installed but the rubber insulator is not drilled for them. Does any know of a 12 pin plug like this that actually uses all 12 pins or at least has...

With all the alterations out there for the M35A series trucks with regards to MRAP and other similar wheels / tires combinations, has anyone done anything to re-paint their wheels? The reason that I ask as probably 95% of all the MRAPS are desert sand colored as are the wheels. Mine are all...

Hello fellow OD Green blooded owners. lol I was messing around with installing by backup light switch and while I had the floorboard covers off I was going to check things out and lube those areas that are more easily accessible from the top side. Long story short, I noticed that there is a lot...

I purchased my truck with MRAP 390 radial tires on it. What you fellow owners of such M35's with these tire / wheel combinations running in the way of tire pressure. Obviously any DOT compliant tire has the serial number with date of manufacture and max fill at max gross psi rating on it but...

A couple of weeks ago I removed all of my gages, cleaned them, and replaced the 5-wire spider harness. I also made a ground harness to go from each electric gage to ground once it is reinstalled. Months ago when I drove the truck from Louisiana up to it's new home here near Louisville, KY the...

There has been lots of discussion on wire harness replacement and I have a question. I purchased a new front harness about a year ago. I fabricated my rear harness myself due to the weird high cost of this one with only 7 wires in it. As most know there is a bulkhead connector in the center of...

I have a question for the group. When I purchased my M35A2 from the previous owner it had MRAP tires and wheels installed with adapter plates. The truck runs great down the road and at 2500 RPM and pure diesel I get about 63 MPH on flat or moderately sloped roads. My ?? is this. My truck had...

Does anyone know what the factory wheel had for an offset on M1009 wheels. I purchased two new wheels from Stockton Wheel in CA and when I use them on front I need a 3/16 spacer or the inner weights are chipped off. The two GM original wheels do not but I have them mixed up and do not know...

I need to purchase a new rear axle yoke, universal attaching straps, and universal joint. LMC Truck is back ordered for a time to be determined. I don't dare look a the local dealer so I am asking if anyone has a good source for non-asian manufactured replacement. I also looked at Parts Geek...

Could someone that has a box seat for the driver measure the height off the floor to "Soldier A's" rear end please? I have twin spring seats and want to go to something different but I need to stay around the same height as the box seat due to "Dun-Laps Disease". Jim

I was wondering if anyone has fabricated a mini set of troops seats for parades. I have a 1954 XM105 trailer (M105) that I don't use for anything but thought it would work ok for dragging behind the M35A2 during special events, parades, etc. jimm1009

I am missing the flange that is mounted on the rear of the heater box and the soft duct leading to the firewall and it was missing when I purchased my truck. This time of year it is handy to have it fully functional and so I am wondering if anyone has seen these particular parts for sale...
