    Transmission oil light

    Read up section v11 Page 3-353. In TM2320-272-24-1. (2-3-4 (are further interesting reading)). Strange how the army T.O. lists a "temperature pressure sensor switch". There are a host of decent suppliers of filter kits and accessories, just google 'M925A2 transmission filter kits'.

    Transmission oil light

    When was the truck last (fully) serviced? I would (Be tempted to) Check the transmission filters. And or, the temperature control switch.

    Ferret radiator hose replacement

    ANY good quality reinforced hose (the type with banding through the middle that looks like string threads) Will do it. We have used 'other' (strong) Hose for the 432, and quite a few of our deuces and 5tons over the years. Even hoses that have bends in them can be found that will readily form...

    Why Ya Gotta Be So Mean?

    Hmm..The vote here (amonst our members) is that it (the shades white chain bundle and hot rod spotlights) 'softens' the truck to look like a civilian vehicle. Cream paint and smaller tires would complete the job nicely..(!(sorry no likes)).

    Recovery, M923a2 Rancho Cucamanga CA to Meadow Lakes Akaska

    Good luck on your venture. Though it sounds like you have all points prepared. Set yourself up to Enjoy the run home, and the old adage 'steady does it' and just let it (the truck) run 'easy' will fulfil the mission with no dramas. And of course the story with pictures would be great. (would...

    Brake light switch upgrade Deuce

    There y'a go..The lack of (likes) may reflect the fact that that 'lamp' illuminates only when you have your boot on the stop pedal. It does not indicate if one any or all the rear brake lights are working. It does at least signify that juice is going down the wires in the direction of the stop...

    What should I do...and what are my options legally.

    Well if you "what to doing" because of the actual year, Unless you are not satisfied because you in fact have an vehicle nearly 10 years older than thought, or desired, then Let it be. Otherwise try to get recompense from the seller, Use the money to buy another one of the year you are actually...

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    Sound advice. So now do it (the once) And have it done it right. Post up the resolution of the fault. (for others to follow with same problem).

    Interior Dome Lights

    Nice looking lamps. More 'military' looking than my cab lights. I use the ceiling lamps out of old double decker buses for my trucks. They do give a nice light though. The lights in the camper truck are ex F350 ambulance ceiling lights, and have the (very nice(and useful)) Low and High power...

    Bought a 1992 M998

    Nice looking truck. Good luck with your (looong!) journey. As mentioned previously..Slow AND Steady. Remember, A steady and constant speed get's the mileage done without stress, (and without (quite so much noise)) for you, and the vehicle. Nice workshop by the way.

    Hight of m35a2

    Why not simply ask the seller to measure it and give you the measurement. It could be (of) a variety of shelters, and the tires are not stock.

    Words mean things. Or, Nomenclature for beginners.

    This is the insidious ongoing and ever increasing lack of the ability to write or speak in a correct and logical manner. HHtth, ghfp, or ttpaqq even? get it? NO, and nobody else does anyone either. More and more we have to 'goggle!' words and expressions to find out what is the intended...

    Hmmwv won't start

    Glow plugs and associated components.

    Start/move without alternators

    Absolutely..(in fact) You could drive it all day with charged up batteries..plus batteries carried for backup IF you had to. However for anything on a long drive you would need to have belts to enable ancillaries to work..Power steering, water pump and such.

    M1078 Fire Truck

    Nice acquisition..post up a video when you have the 'sounds and lights' fitted on it. ('though I can't imagine why you would fit "things" like that....(OR..can I)) ..You WILL enjoy that machine..in MANY ways. I MORE than enjoy mine. https://youtu.be/TQuvmTWIVWU

    Hello, first Deuce, questions. PTO's etc.

    Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships and events to come. Sounds like you have plethora of ideas...Well the first one could be no cost and easy to carry out. Take off the rear wheels and reverse a single one of each. And There you have it. Singled out. If you don't like the looks, just turn...
