I got a quote from State Farm for my M35A2. I only asked for a 7 or 14 day coverage so I can drive her home (60 miles). They told me that in order to be covered I'd have to purchase 6 months of coverage due to the truck. They said they could only insure me w/liability b/c if I totalled the...
Ok I've got one truck won pending the EUC. I'm itching for another w/winch. Now I'm not sure what the neighbors or the city is going to think about two green machines parked next to my house (not that I care, but my wife does). I live in a small town and the city council has some members that...
My dealings thus far w/GL Fort Lewis has been nothing but superb. The manager, Lonnie, is awesome to deal with. Very personable guy who will talk to you. He is very forthright and honest. He's a great guy, do anything for you or at least try.
Hello guys. I'm inquiring to see if anyone is interested in a M35A3. The reason I am asking is I know of someone who may be getting rid of his. I am not sure what the demand is on this particular truck but it appears to be in outstanding shape and has below 20k and less than 500 hours. It has...
Yet again I am inquiring about parts. This time it is for the clearance/side markers in the amber and red. I noticed my truck does not have them on them and I think I need them for the DOT to get the truck licensed. I have seen a couple places selling the side markers but they don't appear to...
Hello, I won an auction on 8-14. Submitted my EUC/Export Letter/Driver's license 2 hours after closing of auction. Just checked EUC status and it states its being sent to Battlecreek. How much longer can I expect to finally get the approval to pick up my truck? This is my first EUC.

What kind of chassis grease (zerks) is everyone using on their deuces? I was going to use some grease but I don't want to mix something that is not compatible. FYI I don't have the truck yet. I'm in the "NESTING" phase of getting my truck. What specs do you have for the chassis grease? When I...
From reading the forums it appears that the GEAR OIL to put in our deuces is GL-1. Please correct if I am wrong. I checked with every auto parts/supply store from Grays Harbor on up to Lacey looking for GL-1. The only gear oil on the shelf was GL-3 to GL-5. I asked several places about GL-1...
Hello, does anyone know where I can get the "black stretchy rubber tie down ropes" for the cargo tarp? Bulk lengths would be great. I don't want to use bungie cords
Also, can anyone buy the CARC paint at Sherwin-Williams? Any regs against selling to individuals?
Good afternoon gentlemen. I have got a dilemna. I went made my second inspection trip today and fell in love with a deuce. Everything looked outstanding....well all except one thing. I checked all the fluids-oil,axle differential fluids, transfer case,brake fliud, and finally the transmission...

I am intested in a particular M35A2 however when I went to inspect the truck the plate does not bear a manufacturer nor does it bear a manufacturing date. It does have a SN like xxxx-xxxxx (x=numbers). When I view the GL website it also lists unknown manuf/date however it does give the same SN...
I went and checked out some deuces. Everything was going great with some trucks and others not so great. I brought a 1/2" drive with me. Now I couldn't gain access to some axles and transfer case b/c of a hex type of plug. Can anyone tell me what size I would need? Now hopefully memory serves me...
I did an inspection of several deuces yesterday. We were not allowed to start the trucks up but I did do a check on the prelubers. I have a question, do all M35A2's have prelubers? Is the oil pressure suppose to increase when you turn the switch (sorry I am new to this) and the buzzer comes on...
Today I went and inspected 4 deuces. I went to check the brake lights and nothing. Now this happened on 4 trucks. I will tell you that all the running lights work, turn signals all work, headlights all work, just no brake lights. We were not allowed to turn the engines on, just able to turn a...
Hello, I went and look at a bunch of trucks today. The best one as far as I could see was a particular truck. However, there appears to be a pretty good leak somewhere. I traced it to this part. Is this the steering box? Is it power steering? Is this an easy fix? Could the bolts be loose? How...
Hello, I'm heading to Fort Lewis to check out the lot up for auction. Out of the 10 trucks I have my eye on 4 or 5. My biggest thing or lack thereof is I have no idea what I am looking for in a truck. Besides checking fluids I'm really not sure what else I need to do. Is anyone going to Fort...
Hello, I'm itching to get an M35a2 :lol: . However, I am unfamiliar with what to look for in a deuce. I plan on heading up Friday morning (Aug 8th) to inspect the trucks. Is anyone else planning the same that knows what to look for? I called DRMO and asked if I could possibly start the trucks up...
