    M37 Licensing

    I would try the tact that you purchased the M37 and unfortunately discovered that the PA title has errors on it. Ask Ohio what you need to do to correct the errors, i.e. should be a 3/4 ton pickup truck. You may also be able to contact the State of PA and try the same thing if this doesn't...

    MF erratic starting

    I suspect you have clogged fuel filters. I would recommend draining and cleaning the fuel tank, flushing the lines and replace all fuel filters. Refill with straight diesel fuel. If this doesn't work, it has to be the IP. Also, it's easy enough to check the kill on the IP. Cleaning the fuel...

    Transfere Case Oil

    I use GL-1 in my transmission and transfer case. Five-gallon pail at NAPA.

    Bouncing in reverse

    Check the emergency brake first - it is very easy to check, and likely the culprit.

    Contacted Army on M35A2 History

    I contacted the 103rd Engineer Battalion a few days ago about my M35A2. I was switched between several people until I finally got hold of a Major Chuck Kim on the phone. He was initially suspicious when I started asking questions, but I finally convinced him I didn't have any nefarious intent...

    Alternator bracket bolts

    This is assuming that someone hasn't replaced them.

    How do I haul a trailer without using air brakes?

    The previous posts have been good. 1. Don't try to tow too large a load without the proper truck 2. Too large a generator with a light load will lead to wet stacking 3. Make sure the Genset is 60 Hz. Most ex-airforce gensets are 400 Hz and can't be used for back-up power at home What was...

    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I'll be leaving Hiawassee in North Georgia Thursday morning in my M35A2 and pulling my M105A2 trailer. I'll bring a large load of firewood. Anyone interested in a convoy from North Georgia, please let me know. I'll bring a fold-up table and six chairs as well.

    Could someone identify this broken hose?

    I didn't replace the adapter, just the cable. It was straightforward.

    Could someone identify this broken hose?

    I just replaced the speedometer cable on my Deuce. Very cheap and only took a few minutes. I would go ahead and replace it.

    Commo Gear for the GA Rally

    I have two Midland GMRS radios that I use quite heavily. I live on 32 acres in Towns County in a very heavily wooded and mountainous area of North Georgia, completely surrounded by National Forest and the radios reach around several miles in spite of the mountains, with good quality...

    Muffler for MEP 002a

    I use my MEP-003A for back-up only, thorough a manual 400-amp 4-pole transfer switch. It has no problem running my geothermal heat pump, ovens, well, etc. It has enough capacity that I don't have to be concerned about the load. It is noisy, but a lot of the noise is mechanical and not just...

    Commo Gear for the GA Rally

    What about using GMRS radios. There are a lot of channels, a reasonable range, and many probably already have them. If not, they are relatively cheap. As flat as it is, the range should be no problem.

    How do I haul a trailer without using air brakes?

    An M105A2 traier is quite heavy, even empty. If you pull it with a military Genset mounted on it, you are talking about a lot of weight. Some of those trailers have two gensets mounted on them. I have pulled an empty M105A2 with a full-size Ford pickup and was very careful. I would not pull...

    " NO OIL PRESSURE " oa331

    It could be the oil pump relief valve has failed. Again, you need to pull the pan. Very good that you happened to look at the gauge when you did.

    dismounting and then remounting tires...need help

    Take them to a tire shop! It just cost me $25.00 about a week ago to have a new tube installed at a local truck tire shop. Best money I ever spent. Fifteen minutes tops.

    Check MEP-003A Power Cable Connections

    I've decided to try to borrow a Milwaukee inspection camera and look around in the enclosure. I've given up with the small mirror. I'm really afraid that the missing nut is hiding in there since I did find the washer.

    Reverse gear, deuce surges

    I've not had this occur with my Deuce, but I have had it happen with other trucks. There is a lot of elasticity in the drive train. I've been told that it is quite easy to snap an axle or driveshaft on civilian trucks if you get it springing back and forth too much, but I've never heard of...
