******Update ******* The Feds are allowing him to keep the truck.Read the end of the thread ****************************************************** Ok, time for me to enter this arena correctly. I just picked up a M1028 from MCLB Albany that had been stored in a cave in Norway from July of...

I'm eyeballing the 5 M1009's at auction right now. Please PM me your findings and I'll send a little something your way if I win one. Thanks

Thanks to Russ (Atomic) for driving my truck to the GA Rally, helping me unload the M105, help me set up camp and then drive my truck back home once the weekend was all done and top it off with some fuel. He mostly hit the trails as a passenger this past weekend and we've still got some work to...

I just installed new Firestone T831's 11X20's on my truck and now the truck wants to wander around on the road. I've checked the steering box bolts (65 ft lb.), adjusted the steering box as outlined in the tm, ensured the drag link is tight and lubed, inpected my tie rod ends and increased...

My deuce's gauges are acting a little funny right now. This all started when I ran the truck yesterday and left the flashers on. The flasher seems to have died as they just stay on constant now. At the same time, the oil pressure and temp gauges started reading incorrectly. When you turn the...

Will I damage the axles on a M818 by towing the truck 20 miles in reverse? The reason I ask, the towing connection on the driver's side front is broken. If need be, I can pull one of the hooks off of the rear and attach it to the front bumper but I'm trying to get the truck down the road after...

Trying to recover an M818 today and failed miserably. I put good batt's in, hooked a slave vehicle to it, turned on the battery switch which provoked the air buzzer, went to start and nothing. I am getting a click from the protective control box and the voltage is dropping maybe 2 volts...

Not for the weak of heart. I decided to fix my new spare since my good spare got placed on the rear axle. That wasn't an easy job either but back to the point. If you want to break down a Deuce rim and pull the tire off, it's a job in itself. First, make sure you break the bead down. If you...

Just picked up another Deuce today. Kaiser Jeep M35A2 WO/W, Hardtop and Artic Heater. It didn't have bedsides in the pics but they along with a good cargo cover were waiting for me in the bed to put onto my first truck. The GL rep slaved it off and away we went. The batteries were dead and I...

Just curious as to what most of these trucks run oil pressure wise. Mine drops to about 10# at idle and just below 60# going down the road. It's got a 120# gauge so I'm wondering if mine's running low on oil pressure. I'm aware that they originally came with a 60 psi gauge but I'm a little...

Found this behind the driver's seat in my truck while cleaning out the cab. What is it? Does anyone need one?

I'm still working on this M817 and now that it's running good, I need to find a wheel cylinder for the right front brakes. It's leaking and it' not a great idea to let this truck out of my yard in this condition. I tried searching this forum "wheel cylinder" and didn't come up with much. Are...

I helped another member recover a M817 out of Albany. The truck made it to my house (15 Miles) but is running poorly. It will only run at full throttle and if you let the clutch out too quickly and bring the rpm's down, it will stall. It is hard to crank without ether as well. Please steer...

Bidded on some trucks in the last auction and gave up early. I saw my bidder id used one time after I quit for much more than I would have bidded on a closed lot around 7pm tonight. Has this ever happened to anyone? I noticed the winner beat "me?" on an auto bid and I've heard the speculation...

Has anyone here towbared an M818 behind a Deuce? I may have to move one about 15 miles and was wondering if it's ever been done. The route would be rural and of course at relatively low speeds. Just curious as to whether it would be possible.

I've searched but to no avail.... My Deuce seems to be hard to roll in cold (below freezing) weather. When coming to a stop, it will stop itself even on a very slight downhill during the last 3 mph. It feels as though the driveline is binding up (FWIW, I just put a new tire 100% tread on the...

I'm attaching a few pics of a hot water heater install on my Deuce. Made possible by Mr. Roger Spurgeon. This is one of the kits he has on Ebay currently. Pay no attention to any of the scrape marks in the paint on the heater, that was my fault, it arrived in perfect condition. Thanks Mr...

Had a little fun training guys on the HMMWV's this weekend!!!!

Just finished up a mission with the National Guard. I had to go 190 miles one way to pick up an M1102 Trailer from Ft. Stewart and got to break in a new HMMWV along the way. The 1152's have an 80 MPH. Speedo in them and they can do every bit of that and more. My truck was a maintenance...

Does anyone have or know where to buy replacement sheet metal for a Deuce? The panel just forward of the windshield but just behind the hood is showing some rust damage and I'll probably have some new holes there soon. I'd like to replace the whole panel and weld in a new one if there's...
