My (hopefully) soon to be here Deuce has a "D" turbo. I DO love to hear that turbo whine though. I noticed in Dr. Foster's post on the super turbo upgrade he made that his turbo could be made to whistle by removing the silencer. Does the original "D" style turbo have a removeable silencer? If...

In many postings regarding batteries I've noticed comments regarding rejuvenating batteries. How is this done and where do you get the materials? Is it necessary to remove the old electrolite during the process? Is there a date code on 6TL batteries? Where is it found and how is it interpreted...

It seems like most every page on this forum has at least one posting about leaking rear wheel bearing seals. Often the problem seems to stem from the cork insert which is SUPPOSED to keep diffential oil from bypassing the outer seal and outer bearing and then getting into the bearings, then...

I have a few dumb questions about the batteries in a M35A2. I did drive M35A2s a bit while in the MA ARNG during the early 70's, but didn't pay much attention to the batteries. Dumb question #1: I believe reading in other posts, the original battery was something like a 6TL. Do these batteries...

Help! I need to contact a motor pool mechanic at Selfridge ARNG. I bought a GL truck there and would a qualified mechanic to look at the truck and give me some information - for adequate compensation, of course. I tried calling the listed phone number at Selfridge, but all they have is a...

How can I do a compression test on a deuce multifuel engine? I realize of course the first step is to pull out all the injectors. But what then? I've done this many times in gas engines with a compression tester with a rubber tip that you jam in the spark plug opening while cranking the engine...

WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! I earlier added this as a reply to a previous post, but felt it was important enough to deserve its own posting. I realize few of us have enough cash to take our Deuce to the local truck stop every time we need to take a wheel off or even change a tire, and besides...

I'm looking for a reasonably priced M35A2 truck in the Michigan or northern Ohio - Indiana area. I'm not looking for a show truck; that project truck that you can't find the time to work on is just fine. My only requirements are that it has a LDT465 engine; a clear, transferable title; and is...

I'm confused. I thought all M35A2s had LDT engines, but I've seen a few auctions on GL for M35A2s with LDS engines. Is this a mistake, a possible repower, or were M35A2s originally built with both LDT and LDS engines? Also, what is the difference between a LDT and a LDS engine?

A few general questions on injectors 1) Does anyone know where to get the plugs to close off the injector ports while the injectors are out, or a suggest a good field expedient plug? 2) Where do you get replacement gaskets for the injectors? 3) Do the gaskets need to be replaced everytime you...

How much is a high mileage Deuce worth? I'm considering a M35A2 w/winch, but it has 80,000+ miles on it. Listed as "running condition unknown", I've seen some pics of it and it looks in decent shape. Its about 400 miles from me so I'm not real inclined to drive down and take a look at it. I've...
