Hello! I am getting ready to swap turbos on my M35A2. How many of you guys on here have done this swap, and have you run into any problems? Thanks!

Hello everyone. Since the weather is nice I figured it would be a good time for a gear oil change. I know somewhere in the TMs it says to use 80w90. However, would 85w140 conventional or 75w140 synthetic be better? I figured the thicker oil might protect better than 80w90 but if I need to stick...

Hello everyone, are the stock M35A2 wiper arms supposed to have springs on them to hold them to the windshield? Neither of mine did, and neither did the replacement I bought for one side. They don't seem to put enough pressure against the windshield to effectively remove water. Any ideas? Thank...

Hello everyone, I am posting today regarding a different topic. I am a machinist and enjoy the trade. Just started into it about 2 and a half years ago. I have been seeing a lot of talk lately about surplus engine parts and rebuild kits being hard to find and expensive. I have thought about in...

Hello everyone, I am in a bit of a situation, I am supposed to be taking my deuce from eastern middle TN to east TN for a new years party, a 4 hour drive in that truck. Anyway, I discovered this puddle under what appears to be the fuel filter. It smells like plain water, doesn't smell like...

Hello everyone, I was informed that my heater is plumbed incorrectly. My main questions are, what is the correct routing for the heater hoses, does anyone have any pictures of the correct routing, and also will the fitting just swap right into the correct spot or am I going to need access to a...

Hello all, my m35a2 has a very intermittent coolant leak coming from the rear of the engine somewhere. Some days I'll run it and it doesn't leak a drop, other days there is a big puddle underneath it. There is no coolant in the oil so I assume it probably isn't a head gasket...but I guess there...

Hello all, random question, are turbos found in the deuce still manufactured new? Are parts for either the C or D easy to find for a rebuild? Thanks!

Hello all, due to a stupid mistake, my air compressor belt shredded. Do you have to have that "special tool" (which I ordered but am still waiting on), or can it be done using more standard tools with more effort? After loosening the two bolts that compress the front part, we tried putting a...

Hello all, quick question. A few months ago I discovered just in the nick of time that the previous owner of my truck had put straight water in the radiator. So I drained it out and replaced it. So I started it up and idled it for about 10-15 minutes and the coolant I could see through the...

Hello all, I am planning on taking a trip from Nashville TN to Savannah GA sometime in the near future with my 1980 M35A2C. If something happens to the truck is there anyone out there that could lend me a hand? I have AAA RV but I have a feeling they will try to weasel their way out of covering...

Hello all, I have an axle seal leaking on the driver side front axle as I can see diff fluid dripping out of the axle boot. I took off the drum and looked at the wheel bearings and no fluid is making it inside of them as the grease is still fine and there are no other signs of gear lube around...

Hello all, well I am facing an issue with the transmission on my deuce. It is stuck in between two gears. The forks were misaligned in the tower and that has been fixed. But now I don't know how to get it out of those two gears and I am afraid I'll break a gear if I try to pry on it. Have any of...

Hello all, I have a 1980 M35A2C and am new to the ownership of these vehicles. Today I had to climb a steep hill up to where I store it so I engaged the front axle. When I shut it down I forgot to disengage it. I won't be back up to get it till next weekend so will having it engaged damage it...

Hello all, I am looking into buying a deuce and have heard lots of talk about the fuel density compensator. I have searched the internet and have heard lots of different opinions on them, some say you can't run dry fuels such as gasoline in the duece without it, some say you can and the...

Hello all, I am new to the forum and have my eye on a multifuel deuce. I am a machinist and the boss told me I could have all of the waste whey oil and other machine oils to burn in it, if it will burn them. So my question is, will they burn these oils? Mostly whey and a type called DT24. Thanks!
