    Driveline Bolts

    If Fastenal has the correct nuts, would they also have the correct bolts to match? For scarce heavy duty hardware, I have found some items at our local John Deere sales/parts/service store. Just a thought.

    M116a3 pintle/hydraulic bolt sizes???

    When I bought my M116A3 a few years back, the bolts were missing or loose. This seems to be a common occurrence with these trailers. I strongly suggest you apply some Loc-Tite to the bolts when/if you reassemble.

    Have you named you truck?

    Seems the Wives have the market cornered on naming our vehicles, and my Wife is no exception. I didn't have the Deuce a week before she started calling it "The Other Woman".

    M101A2 Brake line

    It's a shame you copped an atitiude, there is more talent on this board than you could ever consume in several years. Several folks have a "been there, done that" approach, and it shouldn't bother you. Ask your questions, and do what you want, and forget about what you don't want.

    Do Army mechanics read the TM's?

    I don't think it's right to lump all "Army" mechanics together, some do good work, some don't. Also, let me point out there are at least two other services turning equipment into DRMO, the Air Force and the Corps. My latest purchase from GL was an Ex-Air Force truck, which wasn't maintained any...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I replaced my parking brake shoes on the Deuce today. Printed the task out on paper, took them out to the shop and went to work. Sure is nice to have a parking brake that holds well.

    Upgrade to M35A2 personal heater

    Yessir! I do have the Arctic Grill Cover installed and mine does keep the windshield clear and the cab "comfortable". But before moving your heater inside the cab, check to be sure your hoses are installed correctly, check that out and go from there.

    Upgrade to M35A2 personal heater

    Thanks EDP, that's the one. I would think a hose rearrangement would be a little easier than moving the heater inside, providing the hoses were not initially installed correctly.

    Upgrade to M35A2 personal heater

    I've read threads like this before and have never had any issues with my heater as installed from the factory. Occasionally the heater hoses are not installed in the right location on the engine causing the heater not to work to it's full capabilities. There is a PS article written describing...

    Did you check the switch with an Ohmeter to be sure the switch closed when the engine got up to temp?
