    Substandard quality parts

    There are several reason for this. One is that the parts sold surplus are often old. The military will spec a shelf life, and when it exceeds that the part gets sold. Then it can sit on a dealers shelf another 10 years because he purchased 800 of them at once and they sell slow. Another is...

    Intermittently dying during deceleration ????

    Unless he has changed his transmission, he doesn't have a TV cable. The stock TH400 does not use one. Only a 700R4 does.

    No info- I noted that when I ran that truck when I was considering bidding on it. May be USMC.

    why CUCV is better than a Deuce (just fun)

    Yup. 100,000 miles or so and it is $375 to replace. How long will and LDT go, and how much to replace. Has a whole LDT ever made it 100,000, much less the pump?

    treechopper for M274 mule?

    Neat, but on a mule you would be sitting right next to the blades- lots of brnches to the face and legs. I could also see an issue with the tree branches getting into the foot pedal and causing control issues.

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    Once again, many faulty assumptions by you. The stock M35 does not have "extreme fording ability", 30" is quite low given the size of the truck. You claiming the M35 has an "extreme fording depth" when even a stock M38A1 could go deeper shows your ignorance. Now it could be modified when more...

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    OK, I think I now understand what you are not grasping. Repeat after me: The M35 was not designed primarily as an off-road truck. Now repeat that until it sinks in. The use of the M35 is 99% on roads of some sort. Off road ability was down the list of considerations in design. Your...

    why CUCV is better than a Deuce (just fun)

    Actually 6.2's will eat WMO just fine. I have run up to 70% without issue. And they won't throw a rod if you get close to 3000rpm.........

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    Well, lets see. My experience with the Unimog. On the civilian side, I owned a Swiss 404 for many years. One the military side, I have 19 years experience working on the 419's the US Army uses as SEE tractors. In fact I have even been responsible for maintaining a fleet that included both...

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    All much, much smaller forces that never really left their home country or hand to worry about the logistics of beinga global, expeditionary force. Logistics are a bitch when you have forces around the globe. Logistics are far simpler when your forces are 99% within a few hundred miles and...

    Help My 5 ton is under flood water!!

    I gotta agree. There is a point of dimishing returns. If this was a $75,000 concrete truck or a $20,000 boat, it would be worth the effort. But at what M54's sell for, you can buy a new one for far less than you will pay to try and fix it. Buy another one. Then strip the old one down as...
