    Sucessful M101 recovery from Herlong!

    You still had about 15" of space left on the trailer- you call that a full load? ;)

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    Wow- you must really be driving your truck in some rough areas. I thought we had some rugged terrain out here in Utah/Idaho/Nevada. Never felt like the deuce was weak in the areas you point out. Max out the tire size on your truck and you will have a hard time high centering or damaging steps...

    Clearfield Utah

    Hi fellow westerner. Check your PM box for info about Clearfield. What part of Idaho? I don't know what 63A is??? But it sounds better than me- I'm 55... If you're lucky on your first auction, we'll help you pull it out. But don't feel bad if you don't get one your first time around- there...

    looking to get my first Deuce

    You won't find any more leg room inside the A3, it's the same as the A2. You might pay a lot more than you think- divorce is very expensive. Maybe get a pink one...

    Lost Pre GL Era SF-97,Who Do I Contact At DRMO?

    I agree with papercut. Many years ago I looked into buying a truck from DRMO or DLA or whatever it was at the time, and it was a LOT of work and nobody knew what was going on. I blew it off. Now with GL- they almost do it for you!

    Deuce Brakes Locked Up

    Correction to above- the mid to late 1980's deuces have a "DUAL CIRCUIT" brake system. And of course the M35A3's have dual circuits.

    I bought a garbage truck, hahaha

    Sounds like time to get the chevy stuff out on ebaby- and build up the 'army truck' piggy bank. Somewhere in the world there is some guy just starting out on his 'chevy phase'...

    buying my first deuce

    They might sell it to you, and you might buy it from them, but if it was loaned to the fire dept, the sale could and probably would be void and you would have to give back the truck. I say this only so that if you do buy it, you get your family lawyer to draw up a contract that covers you and...

    help in alabama

    Best thing I ever did was move a long way from home... and much earlier than 21! You'll never regret buying your own tools, you gotta have lots of tools now that you have a deuce. :beer:

    buying my first deuce

    None taken, that just happens to be what I paid for two 'running' trucks last week from GL... :beer: My point was more to 'tip' the calculation in the buyers favor, NOT the sellers.

    making a trade?

    Ok with me, but what does the owner of the truck think?

    Mosler, SAFE -FILING CABINET

    Try changing your spin sequence- change 4x to 3x, 3x to 2x and 2x to 1x. In other words pass the number one less time than what they told you.

    buying my first deuce

    Take the price of a decent GL deuce- say $1500- and start subtracting the things you will need to buy to fix it up, and maybe a few bucks for your time (my time is very valuable- except when I'm working on my trucks- I don't dare keep track of it). Then you can come up with a fair price to offer...

    "Do not park in gear"

    It could start up and drive away by itself... I've heard of it happening

    M35A3 Owners, I have some questions, thanks!

    The way the trans shifts is like the old city/metro buses I used to ride back in the 70's/80's (when I had to ride around on buses!). If you remember how those shifted- that's it. The transition between gears is is slow- drops a bit- then grabs. I kinda like it- more of a 'heavy duty truck'...
