    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Are you looking for basic or supplemental (5/8” thk)? Size is 20x14 and I plan to get pieces made locally and make sandwiches with silicone pookie around the perimeter to keep water out.

    Serial Number/Unit Markings for a 1953 Manufacturered Truck

    Sweet! Carnac’s list confirms your numbers. See where I drew the line, yours fits in the sequence perfectly. The registration number on your glove box door is what needs to go on the hood. Canrac’s list is missing the 00 as I am sure the database wouldn’t accept leading zeros.

    You don't have a PTO. What are you even talking about.

    M35a2 PTO operation

    It’s not clear to me if you have a transmission or transfer case PTO. On the transmission PTO, you don’t have to engage any transmission gears to engage the PTO.

    Serial Number/Unit Markings for a 1953 Manufacturered Truck

    Can you extrapolate anything from CARNAC's file on M62s? I am pretty sure the registration number for 1950's trucks should be all numerical.

    See all the trucks with the "delineator" plates required in European theater. I wonder if anyone has ever counted the number of men and machines that the US has sent to Europe over the years to deter USSR/Russia?

    M936 Rear winch shear pin options

    I do believe that the pin is an aluminum alloy. Replacing with a steel pin guarantees that you will bust the aluminum winch housing. If your load shears the pin, you need to be using blocks.

    CUCV Coolant Issue

    A pro radiator shop will unsolder the tanks from the core and run rods through the tubes and remove the “basic junk” which plugs the flow.

    Changing a M715 Tornado oil pump

    Yes. This is a very tricky process as the oil pump drives the distributor. When you pull the pump out, it turns due to the helical gear. So basically it is impossible to re-stab the pump and have it re-engage the tab on the distributor. My suggestion: roll the engine to #1 cylinder top...

    New LMTV owner

    OMG yes. There are hundreds of threads on here about fixing all the unresolved design issues on these trucks and now also all the age related issues that are cropping up. Unless you plan on using this truck on a farm at low speed, plan on doing lots of upgrades. Or get left on the side of the...

    M1084A1 Refusing to Move

    Probably your rear shoes have stuck to the drums. Climb up under the axles and see if the shoes retract when someone operates the button. If not try whacking the drums with the brakes released, (chock the wheels!!!). Might also try to break the shoes loose in 1st gear full throttle.

    New LMTV owner

    Not exactly. Your truck has an interesting history. Your truck was the 312th LMTV off the assembly line in Sealy back in '94 and was quickly shipped to Army units that were eagerly awaiting the replacements for the old M35A2s and A3s. Unfortunately the Army quickly determined that if you...
