    Need some advice... GL and credit card issues

    For this sale, I'd get on live chat at GL and raise and raise the issue. Also, call their Customer Service Department at (I think) 480-367-1450. I've found that getting more than one GL employee involved will get you quick results. For the future, there should be someone at USAA who can...

    NO POWER 30mph top

    Even a cold engine should start, this time of year, in a few seconds with little or no throttle. A warm engine should need no throttle. Most, but not all will run without the in-tank pump. Some otherwise strong running trucks without leaks will gag and croak if the in-tank pump is out. Take...

    Where did all the M35A3's go?

    There was a line of 6-8 M35A3s at Drum about three months ago that were all bound for FMS. Lance

    anneville preview

    For CUCVs I sometimes plan on driving back but usually use a friend's goose neck trailer to save on drama and so I don't have to coordinate for a helper. For deuces etc, I plan on driving them back and am prepared to use a tow bar for short trips (ex.; Fort Drum=115 miles). For longer trips...

    recovered my new Pioneer Tool Traler

    Welcome to the crew! We have one in daily use. Your trailer looks to be in fine shape. If I'd known another one was close you'd have had to deal with another bidder..... Lance

    Sucessful Deuce recovery!

    Good deal. It's good to see Household 6 helping out. The "pizza box" is a HAZMAT placard holder. Lance

    Hand Throttle and Engine stop pull cables don't lock

    It should be replaced. The throttle can be inconvenient if it won't stay out but the engine stop can be dangerous. The cable should be replaced. Lance

    Ahhhh! Which ones are which?

    Surf over to olive-drab.com and check out the vehicles link from the home page. You can follow the breakdown through to just about any family of WWII or later vehicles. Good luck Lance

    My 1st M818

    Forget the chain! No GL rep in their right mind is going to let you use a GL/DRMO vehicle in the for anything other than, maybe, a slave start and they'll be driving it. Now repeat after me; There is no SAFE way to to tow start a truck with a chain. I say again, there is no SAFE way to tow...

    My 1st M818

    Bring two or four fresh batteries and, just in case, bring the short cables you would need to connect the batteries in series. Bring some battery clamps, they aren't always there, either. Always keep in mind that you bought the truck "as is, where is" and that ANY time to prep it is a...

    Troop seat matriel question

    For many, the fiberglass seats are more desirable. You can probably save a lot of work be offering to swap for some decent wood racks. If you were closer, I'd swap. Lance

    Valve under dash question

    Interesting thought. About a year ago the "#1 son" and I picked up a truck at Drum and all ten tires were at about 10 PSI. It was a pretty painful time filling them. Lance

    Valve under dash question

    Years past, the issue air hose had a threaded fitting on the end that threaded onto the one under the dash. At some point, the hose was changed to a "glad hand" end and it is hooked to the emergency brake glad hand (passenger side) for the trailer connections. The issue hose is 1/4" or 5/16"...

    M35A2 Horsepower question

    The 1988 edition of the A2 TM shows either 134 or 135 HP, I can't remember which up to 140HP. Did you get a copy of the TM or download it yet? Lance Lance

    Deuce Radiator Expansion

    From memory, the correct level is "visible" in the filler neck. If you are filling it half way up the neck it'll blow the excess out. Lance
