    24V to 12V converter

    I've got a M932 and I'm looking for a good waterproof 24V to 12V 30A step down converter, for powering a brake controller, and ultimately 12V civilian trailer brakes. I'd prefer something I can purchase off the shelf, but I realize that's probably not an option. Anyone have a good unit they've...

    Pressurizing fuel tanks, on M932A2, causes air leak at stack

    So my M932A2's fuel system has had a problem holding its prime, since I picked it up from GL a year ago. Lately the problem has gotten progressively worse, to the point that the fuel system will lose its prime after just a few minutes. I pressurized the fuel tanks, using the old valve stem in...

    Air leaking into air intake stack (parking brake NOT applied)

    So I'm getting air leaking into the air intake stack but it's when the parking brake is released, not when the parking brake is applied (as indicated in the TM). This is causing the primary and secondary air systems to bleed down. When I activate the parking brake the leaking stops and air...

    Spring perches on a bobbed 5 ton using deuce springs

    I'm using M35 front springs to bob an old M813. My question is, what do you do for spring perches? The M35 spring perch obviously isn't big enough to fit on the 5 ton axle so I'm thinking of using 5 ton perches but then I run into the issue that the M35 spring is 2.5" whereas the 5 ton...

    M939 hydraulic fluid reservoir

    For my tructor modification I had to drain and remove the hydraulic fluid reservoir, for the winch on my M932. I'm just looking for confirmation that it will not cause any damage to run the truck with the hydraulic system unhooked. I've got the intake and return lines covered, where they come...

    M939 Won't build air pressure

    I picked up a M932A2, from Camp Shelby, and initially there were no problems. Just recently the air pressure dropped to 30psi on the primary tank. Now when I start it up the air pressure builds to 20-30 psi and just holds there. I checked the pressure with a gauge at the air line just before...

    M818 from Greenbriar, AR to Utica, MS

    I'm looking at moving an M818 from Greenbriar, Arkansas to Marianna, Floridia (It's in the panhandle, north of Panama City) over the next few weeks. It's 637 miles. It's unknown if the M818 runs. There is a loading ramp and tug at Greenbriar, AR. Thanks.

    M275 Dual circuit brake upgrade question

    I'm currently restoring a M275 and came across a dual circuit brake system that I'm installing since my brake system was completely shot. I've looked at SMARPI 9-2320-209-14 and since it's based on a M35 chasis and not a M275 there a few plumbing questions I had on this upgrade. Most of it is...

    Jim Beam Deuce

    I was at Rib Roundup (a day long country music event in West Palm Beach) and saw this Jim Beam Deuce. Naturally I stopped what I was doing and talked to the guy for a half hour. He lives in South Florida and built this ride for Jim Beam. Super nice guy and built all the stuff himself. Nice 5...

    Huge thanks to Recovry4X4

    I just wanted to say thanks to recovry4x4 for his help today and over the past few months. Today he helped me sling the M105 bed back onto my deuce and then helped sling my newly acquired front winch on. The previous owner of my deuce had pretzelled the front bumper to the point that the frame...

    Steel tubing

    I'm in the process of buiding a hitch and need a foot or two of some 3X3X1/2 metal tubing for a reciever tube. The only place I've found it had a minimum order of $250 regardless of size :shock:. I'm in South Florida but will pay to get it shipped down here from a shop. I'm trying to avoid...

    Modified Deuce

    I was looking for some NDT tires and I saw this "thing" for sale. Not really my style but I thought I'd post the pictures anyway because there was some different stuff on here that someone may like. The guy wants $60,000 for it so I think he'll have it for a while.:shock:

    Cutting frame on a bob

    Alright, it's time to fire up the torch to chop the frame and complete my bob. My question is I'm looking on How Much Do I Cut Off? and it shows them cutting the frame 11 1/2 inches forward of the end of the bed to account for the bumperettes. I want to add a hitch when I'm done so I need...

    Rear air lines

    I'm finishing up bobbing my Deuce this week. I was wondering what guys did with their rear airlines once they chopped the frame. I didn't know if I should just picked up some new shorter lines or criss crossed the lines already there to the opposite sides to take up the slack. Thanks.

    M35 Replacement alternator

    I need to replace my alternator and am not having a lot of luck getting ahold of Wolverine technolgies. Does anyone else make a bolt on 24V alternator replacement? Thanks.

    Not starting

    I've seen some similar issues on previous threads but they were cured short of this level. I was having some issues with a clicking when attempting to start my M35A2 but after a couple of pushes it would fire up. It finally progressed to only clicking. I replaced the batteries because they...

    Delco Remy Starter 42MT

    Does any body have any experience with the Delco Remy 42MT starter. My old Leece-Neville is unable to be rebuilt and I saw that these Delco-Remy starters come with a 3 year warrant for around $300. They are supposed to be water proof and mil-spec. I like that I can buy one from a local...
