OK, what's the secret for tightening the Deuce Park Brake cable adjusting nut? I'm talking about tightening the nut at the apply lever on the park brake assembly on the transfer case. I've run out of adjustment by cranking the handle on the in-cab park brake handle. I've crawled under the truck...

The "Multifuel Filter and Gasket Interchange" technical article http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=3&pid=17 suggests that Baldwin filters are the best fit for Deuce fuel and oil filters. The author of the article, Bomar76, mentioned he get his filters...

I mentioned in an earlier post that my driver's side outside door handle will not unlatch the door. The inside door handle works fine. I recieved several replies suggesting taking out the latch, lubing it etc, but also stating that usually doesn't work. I did mention one oddity about the door...

For all of you who may be wondering who made the tires on your Deuce or other vehicle, here is a link to a site with a fairly complete listing of tire manufacturer codes (information courtesy of Carbell Garbee): http://www.harriger.com/tires.htm If you are wondering WHEN your tires were made...

I recently accessed the LOGSA website and tried to download a copy of TM 9-2320-316-10, the Operator's manual for the 2-1/2 ton 6x6 series trucks. Hoverever, the site would NOT let me access this manual without a login ID. I have been able to download the remainder of the 316 series manuals...

OK, same question that has been asked many times before. I have a Kaiser Jeep M35A2, the data plate has a VIN but no model year. Went to the local Secretary of State Office (DMV for Michigan) and asked how I get it registered. They were less than enthusiastic about helping me, said when I apply...

I see a lot of diesel fuel conditioners out there - Power Service, Lucas, etc. When I drove my Deuce 250 miles home from Selfridge ANG Base in Michigan, I added a quart of Power Service Fuel Conditioner and Injector Cleaner to the fuel, figuring it can't hurt and might help. The next tankful I...

The "Multifuel Filter and Gasket Interchange" posting in the Technical Articles Forum lists the Donaldson P11-7551 Air Filter as the only commercial air filter which meets the 410 CFM requirement for the LD465 multifuel engine. Unfortunately, I cannot find a source for this filter. I even...

My new Deuce came with two near new 6TL batteries. I tested them with a battery hydrometer, one was great, all cells 1.275 - 1.300 S.G. (it just doesn't get much better than that). Unfortunately, the second one had one bad cell, > 1.100 S.G., while the remaining 5 cells were all 1.275 - 1.300...

My Deuce was rebuilt at Tooele in 1989. I'd expect that the fuel tank was cleaned during the rebuild, and I'd be very surprised if it has been cleaned since. Do you think I should clean it, and if so, what is a good DIY to do it.? I realize I could pull the tank off and have it steam cleaned...

How much diesel should be left if your fuel tank when you run out of fuel? When I picked up my Duece from Selfridge ANG Base last week, the fuel guage was not working. I had the foresight to bring a long, thin stick of wood with me just in case I needed to check the fuel level in the tank. Much...

I need some help figuring out why the driver's side outside door handle on my Deuce won't work. The door handle turns but will not unlatch the door. The inside door handle works fine, opens the door and locks the door w/o a problem. I pulled off the outside door handle, it appears fine and...

Hey guys (and gals) - If you're looking for a new truck, keep a watch on the autions at Selfridge ANG in Michigan! When I picked up my Deuce there Tuesday, they had a WHOLE bunch of trucks in the DRMO. Mine was parked next to what appeared to be a M818 wrecker, a saw a couple of dump trucks...

My new Deuce came with two fairly fresh 6TLMF (maintenance free?) batteries (green case). One is good, one has a bad cell. I checked both with my battery hydrometer, on the good one all the cells were 1.275-1.300 S.G. The bad one had one cell at >1.100 S.G., the rest of the cells were all...

Here is my new Deuce which I picked up yesterday (3/21/06) from Selfridge ANG Base in Michigan. After the usual fluid checks and airing up the tires (they had between 15 and 40 pounds of air per tire, must have still had the winter air in them!), I added a quart of Marvel Mystery oil to the...

I need a camo cargo cover for my M35A2, prefer a vinyl one piece cover. Also need the end curtains if it is not the one piece cover. Anyone have one they want to sell? I'm not real excited about spending $800 for a new GMA cover right now! I've tried Ebay and got outbid. I'll keep looking there...

I need a set of bows for my Deuce. Anyone have a set laying around they want to sell? Mine came with one bow, so I can get by with 4 bows if needed. I've tried Ebay and got outbid. I'll keep looking there, but I'm posting here just in case someone has a set they don't need and are willing to...

I'll (hopefully) be picking up my new Deuce from SANG in Michigan next Tuesday (3/22/06). Yes, I will post pics & details after I get it home. One of my first mods will be to install a keyed ignition switch as an anti-theft device (along with a couple of other mods) to keep my vehicle out of...

I just bought a M35A2 from GL. The truck is in pretty good shape, but the starter is fried. Does anyone have a decent used starter they would part with? I tried Saturn Surplus, Memphis Equipment and Boyce, but they are either out of stock or want my first born son in exchange. I sure could use...

Found this link for a source of new hardtops. Prices aren't given, but I'll bet they are several hundred dollars or more. Fiberglass hardtops available for 2.5-, 5-, and ten-ton trucks. These are hand-made by John Tennis Industries. See photos here: http://www.m35products.com/hardtop.htm...
