Thanks for the VIn info CARNAC, a donation for the soldier has been sent to the PayPal account.

Hi Carnac, I won the bid on a M35A2, and need to get temp registration to retreive it. It would be nice to know the year and make, so I don't have to go back and correct the registration later. The problem is that the ID plate in the cab says the serial number is M34991, but the number on...

When I picked up my deuce, it had an air leak from exactly the same place. I removed it from the firewall, took it apart, and inspected all the parts. The two halves of the valve were just a little loose, allowing air to leak between the housing anf the diaphram. I put everthing back together...

GOGREEN or GO GREN

I had a 10:00 appointment to look at that ratty M35A2 parked by itself. I thought it might make a good parts truck, but it was in real bad shape. The amphibious vehicle has been there for at least 6 months, there used to be 2 of them. If I remember right, no engine, trans, and a variety of...

When I was a kid growing up in northern Idaho (in the 60s and 70s), the school district had some 4 X 4 buses. They were manufactured that way and not mods. When I went back there last year to visit, they had got all fancy and put bridges over the streams.:roll:

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Several years ago I had some foam padding that had black vinyl on one side, the vinyl was perforated, much like a 1960s or 1970s car headliner. The stuff used to be common in custom compartments for sound deading and insulation, I'm sure you have...

I asked Tim about those A3s too. He said that they were on hold to be shipped overseas to our "friends". :cry:

Had a very similer experience back in January when I recovered my first MV from Barstow. The only difference was that when I checked the brakes, the pedal wnt to the floor. Had a broken brake line on the front rear axle. Went to Kragen in Barstow, bought a new brake line, installed bleed brakes...

Wouldn't putting a lockout on the rear rear axle give a better turning radius than putting them on the forward rear axle, or am I overlooking something?

Yeh, what's up with that? I've had the same thing happen to me.

Your in luck, I just happened to pull the drag link off my deuce yesterday. They are both 1.25".

Very well said Beerslay! I agree 100%, also being a hillbilly high school graduate, and having learned the power of accurate communication.

Very interesting thread. Several people have already mentioned using intercoolers to lower the charge air temp, which is something that I have been giving some thought to recently. There really isn't much room between the radiator and grill for a air-to-air intercooler without moving some...

Anyone have a source for the Air Shift cases, I'm looking for one too.

After over 25 years as a professional mechanic, most of which was heavy equipment, I would have to back JDToumanian on the 2 stroke Detroits. It is common knowledge in the industry that anything but 40w is a BIG no-no for 2 stroke Detroits. I would guess, and this is only a guess, that the...

The "slack" is coming from between the double snatch block in the rear and the snatch block attached to the pintle hook. The trick is all at the back of the truck. The setup has to be done exactly as shown. Just hooking the end of the cable to the back of the truck, without the snatch block on...

Opacity testing of commercial trucks has been going on here for about 15 years. The new law has expanded that to private vehicles with diesels, who have somehow been lucky enough to be let alone until now. Your right about "Diesel" being a dirty word. The new diesel pickups that are coming...

Maybe I should put a propeller on my deuce :-D

Actually, there are a number of new diesel laws in effect and going into effect, and that seems to be some of the confusion in this thread. First there is the new Federal emission standards that require different emission levels meet at different dates. These are requirements for the engine...
