    summer vs winter gasoline

    I would second what royalflush55 said stay away from any Ethanol if possible for any kind of storage, if you have never heard of PHASE SEPARATION that is a very good thing and I suggest you try hard to keep it that way! If you do have to get some with Ethanol in it then get the lowest levels...

    M925A2 ( M939A2 Series ) Engine Coolant Cab Heater Performance

    I have a 925A1 and the first thing I will say is the cooling system on these trucks is very large and it takes a lot or some very HOT weather to ever get the fan to run and I could absolutely say that just driving down the road at 50 degrees with no load on the motor the fan will likely never...

    Average Joe's first Deuce - Mods Thread

    Just an FYI to new Deuce owners (I say this because I was one at one time) I understand these trucks are beyond cool and we are all in deep infatuation with our military trucks but usually none deeper than our FIRST one! Reading and belonging to this group is awesome on many levels, the vast...

    M123 new to my collection

    For a spray can paint job that truck is beautiful, the front protective bars certainly assist in making the 123 look even meaner and more menacing than before, and I did not think that possible!!! Beautiful HUGE truck I just sold my 123 and seeing pics like this certainly makes me ask questions...

    M35a2 dilemma

    You know that M35A2 is a pretty nice looking truck, like was already said if you need the winch assembly for another truck so be it but this truck would certainly be worth a fair bit of money with or without the winch, AND if your going to get the M123 up and running and into good condition...

    I have ended up using the spray can and paints from Alan Haage in Supply Line, the spray can spray very evenly and the colors I use mainly three color NATO woodland seem to be very good as to what I am trying to achieve and his prices seem very fair! KK

    Pre-blasting prep work guidance

    It has been my experience in the past to only blast the parts that REALLY need it, sand the rest, CARC when its sanded makes for a terrific base for your new paint to stick to! KK

    Heater install of M35A3 unit in M35A2

    I put up a post on just about exactly what your doing a couple years ago on my Deuce, if you search my posts it should all be there somewhere, it was a fairly easy way to do it the hardest part was getting the defroster section hooked up to the ducting under the dash and YES that did take some...

    The only thing I have found that is an irritation to me has been of late concerning a certain organisation that has greatly reduced what products they are offering for sale (I am trying very hard NOT to start a huge debate here) How do I stay up on this information and learn more about what is...

    F134 Engine

    Rebuilding an engine is pretty simple. First you need to POSITIVELY ID the engine, I would look over the engine block and write down any numbers found on it, then I would do this with all the main components, carb, intake etc. Once you have researched what you have found then you need to...
