    Vehicle history of my 923a2

    I found out the history of one of my deuces by contacting the unit that it was assigned to before being surplused. Of course this only works if you can read the military unit markings on the truck and if the unit still exists. I found out a lot of recent information on my deuce this way (~10...

    Towing MEP 803a

    Why not just go ahead and register the trailer in PA before the recovery and take the tag with you? Use trailer towing lights and you should be good to go.

    towing a new to me trailer from govplanet pickup location

    I've been pulled over several times driving one of my deuces without tags. They never mentioned the fact that I didn't have tags mounted. They pulled me over to look at my truck because they thought it was cool and were interested. Although I almost never have my tags mounted, I do keep them...

    Ditto on the FDC. It isn't that hard to bypass.

    towing a new to me trailer from govplanet pickup location

    In Georgia you can simply give DMV a VIN number and they will provide a temporary tag free. However, the last time I picked up a trailer and had the temporary tag, I couldn't get any kind of tape to stick to the fresh CARC on the trailer and ended up carrying the temporary paper tag in the...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    I made it home late Sunday afternoon in a caravan with Microjeep. I had a fantastic time, even with the rain Saturday. Many thanks to Welder1 for the hospitality and especially for taking the time to fabricate the ammo box and brass label for my Grandson Travis. He can't stop talking about...

    M35A3 won't shift out of first gear in Drive

    How far have you driven it in 1st gear? You may want to drive it a fair distance in 1st until the transmission is thoroughly warmed up, but be careful not to overspeed it. I'm assuming that it still has motor oil in the transmission? Mine used to delay shifting up and especially down when I...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    I'm not certain what time they will be arriving. It may be later but I should know something soon. It depends on when my son-in-law can leave work and the traffic on Friday. Thanks.

    My son-in-law Chris and my 6-year old grandson Travis are coming down Friday evening and staying through Saturday. My grandson is at the age where all he thinks about is Army Army Army. He loves my M35A3 and all my other stuff. He is so excited about coming he can hardly stand it. :) :smile...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    I serviced my deuce and 1061 trailer I'm pulling, but I haven't loaded anything yet. Life has gotten in the way of my plans so I'm having to wait until the last minute to get everything together and loaded. If anyone needs anything moved to the rally from the North Georgia area I will have...

    Good Morning from Germany

    Welcome from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, USA. I was stationed at Kirch Göns in at Ayers Kaserne near Giessen back in the early 70s. I really enjoyed my time in Germany while in the Army and was lucky to spend a lot more time working in Germany before I retired.

    Allison AT1545 failures

    One of the first things I did was switch to Dexron III. I talked with an Allison Engineer at their factory. He suggested getting rid of the motor oil and switching to either Dexron III or Castrol TranSynd. TranSynd is too rich for my blood. He told me to make absolutely all of the motor oil...

    Engine Turns - Will not Start. Smoke from Instrument Panel

    Don't worry about your truck not starting. You need to find the source of the smoke and fix it.

    M35A3 tires all flat on one side of the truck?

    The CTIS manifold on M35A3 trucks does not control individual wheel valves. They are controlled as a group. The manifold is basically one storage tank. I would suspect that someone has replaced the grommets and o-rings on one side of the truck but not on the other side. A3 tires will hold...
