    'Depot Refurbish'

    GL recently auctioned a group of trucks that from the pictures looked new, or nearly new. Looks like a couple guys here got one. So what exactly is the 'depot refurbish' procedure, besides a paint job and seat covers? Does anybody know to what extent a truck is gone through when turned in for a...

    Urgent: Need AM1780 or part

    Well, in the quest to get my VIC-1 working, it has been determined that a module is missing from in my AM-1780. The amp was new in the box, sealed from the factory. Can you believe it?! That's my usual luck. I need to have a working amp installed this week before the big road trip. I have 2...

    Michigan Vic-1 Owners

    Are there any Southern Michigan members out there with a working vic-1 intercom that I could meet up with? I cannot get my system to function and would like to test my components on a working system to try to find the problem. These are all new components and the settings are correct but it...

    Testing Alternator Output

    Got a question for you sparky experts. What is the correct way to check the output of the 60 amp alternator? Pic shows the one I have. The way I checked it was in vehicle, running at 1200rpms. First I disconnected the batterys (neg cable), removed the cover over the field and hot wires, then...

    Cargo Box Light

    Heres another feature I added to the M35. Since it's a hassle to find something in the back of the duece when it's dark out, especially with the top on, I added a light. It's an armor light mounted on the headache rack. Wires run down in front of the box and are joined with waterproof military...

    Couple parts needed

    Hey guys, anybody have a non-working, junk, 60 amp alternator for a duece? Mine is a Sielmans, I believe. I just need the front of the body. I broke the tab off of it while tightening up the belts. It broke through the heli-coil. It is a cast material, and it had air pockets in it where the...

    VIC-1 Installation

    I'm getting ready to install a vic-1 system in my M35. Does anyone have pictures of their installation so I can get some mounting ideas? I have 2 springer seats in the cab, so I have a fair amount of space between the seats on the back of the cab, and everything would be accessable. Bjorn, I...

    Spotlights

    What is the current draw for a standard 24v spotlight like those found on bridge trucks, wreckers, etc? I'm wiring in 2 of them on my m35. I would like to run both of them from the same power lead, different switches. I should probably wire in a breaker too? I have an extra 15 amp breaker I can...

    MEP-016 Genset cover

    I picked up a NIB canvas cover at General Jims Surplus in Clare, MI the other week. Thought I would share the info in case anyone else is looking for one. Fits the MEP-016 perfect. They were priced at $15 and they had a few of them. This is the info from the label on the box: 2805-00-356-1985...

    Axle Breather Valves

    Anyone know who carries Rockwell axle vents for the M35? I'm guessing it's a common vent with many applications. A truck stop maybe?

    Michigan to Iowa

    Hey guys. I sold one of my cucv's to a guy in Iowa that is in the NG and just got back from 14 months in the sandbox. He is driving out today to pick it up and drive it back. I am unsure of his route back at this point, but is there anyone along the corridor that he could contact if he has a...

    Lamp Bulb for RT524

    Hey guys, anyone have an extra bulb for the rt524 radio lamp? Or know if it's a common bulb I can buy at the hardware store? Nobody at Aberdeen had one. It looks like a small flashlight bulb and it would be nice to be able to see the tuner for ops in the dark. Thanks!

    'Nother muffler question. The stock muffler inlet and outlet pipes are different than each other. They are the same diameter with flanges but one pipe is offset. According to the manual, the pipe that is offset on the muffler is the outlet side, the end with the centered pipe is the inlet. My...

    Help. Who supplies, if anybody, weatherstipping, seals, etc., for the 715 doors, windows, and cab. Would a jeep dealer have anything for a vehicle that old? Thanks!
