    Electric power steering for M35A2 Deuce

    I'm sorry to say, I do not know the steering shaft diameter. I have a lot on my plate right now, and haven't made much headway on my project. I'm glad you're proceeding with yours, and look forward to your progress. If you pull this off, you'll be a hero to our community! Jay

    Electric power steering for M35A2 Deuce

    Hey Kelly, Thanks for checking in. I'm still in the study/planning stage of my project. One of my nearby SS friends has consented to let me have a spare A2 steering column, and my local auto dismantler will supply a steering assit module from a Toyota or KIa for $100. I'm surrounded by...

    Electric power steering for M35A2 Deuce

    After watching about 487,591 videos on YT about electric power steering, consulting with my local mechanical wizard, and checking some prices, I've decided to proceed cautiously to adapt a steering assist module to my A2's steering shaft. I don't need one finger steering when stopped, I just...

    Electric power steering for M35A2 Deuce

    I hit 70 years this past summer, and already having bad shoulder joints, my A2 Deuce is really testing my body this year. I've read how others have adapted various power steering systems to their A2's, but wonder if modern electric power steering, either in the form of an electric...

    I've got two pretty good civilian batteries in my A2, but wouldn't look this gift horse in the mouth!!

    Got all my M35A2 LED lights working....for a little bit. Anyone worked on LED's with success?

    My new LED rear lamps arrived today, and it was a quick job to swap them out. Since only one of my old lamps was bad, I now have a spare rear lamp. I was surprised to see that the new Trucklite LED rear lamps only use 3 LED's for the tail/running light. The Grote's I replaced used 12 for tail...

    Speedometer adapter

    Would you share the part number for the 11:00-20 adapter? It'd be nice to know how fast I'm really going. Thanks, Jay

    Got all my M35A2 LED lights working....for a little bit. Anyone worked on LED's with success?

    After spending the time to refresh all my grounds and confirm all connections, I discovered that the most trouble prone LED lamp on my truck has a cracked housing, letting who knows what into the case, leaving it free to attack the board. My left rear LED lamp hasn't been giving me any trouble...

    DG, Unless I have some serious gremlins hanging out around me, I don't believe that any connections are reversed. Yesterday, with air temps above 45*F, all my lights were working as designed. Thanks, Jay

    Got all my M35A2 LED lights working....for a little bit. Anyone worked on LED's with success?

    I bought 4 LED lamps for my M35A2 Deuce about 10 years ago, mounted them about 6-7 years ago, but didn't get to enjoy them at the time, because of a bad turn signal switch, then a failed flasher unit. Some kind soul on SS posted plans for a build your own electronic flasher, which I did...
