If you put the M105 in the bed of the M35A2 upside-down You will either have to remove the headache rack, untie the back of the soft top and fold down the passenger seat-back. If you've got a hard top, you'll end up having the pintle ring on the trailer hang over the tail gate. As long as you're...
Yep, there's a few weird critters out here. That's why we brought the chihuhua/wirehair terrier mix. Anything gets near us and she goes berzerk. lol
At one point, a guy walked by with a pit bull on a leash, Bella (The wife's a Twilight fan) jumped up and started barking and growling viciously...
I picked up my M35A2 2 months ago and I still haven't unloaded my M105. I gotta get to that one of these days. lol
The pintle ring makes the most heavy duty cup holder EVER! hehehe

Come now Horst, You must remember Rudolph Diesel? When he invented the "compression ignition" engine, he designed and engineered it to run on vegetable or mineral oil. The US military took his concept a step further and engineered the 465LDT Multifuel diesel to run on almost anything. Aren't...
If those rims have the removable centers, you can get centers that are laser cut to fit the rim and mount on the 16-spline 2.5 ton Rockwells. If the rims you have don't have the removable centers, your next option is to mount the 395s on the stock deuce rims. Many of the members here say this...
The answer My Friend, is quite simple. Buy another cab, and an M105 trailer, then graft up a crew-cab bobbed deuce. It can be done quite easily by welding the 2 cabs together and adding some sheet metal to the roof. then position the M105 bed behind the cab and center the axle on leaf springs...
Now what fun would that be? There'd be no green iron involved whatsoever! OMG, that reminds me of Niagra Falls,.....NIAGRA FALLS!!!!! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch,......:cookoo:
I've had the "5th wheel" question in my mind for a while too. The biggest question is does the kingpin on your trailer sit high enough? Is it adjustable? You may end up cutting open the floor of the bed and setting the 5th wheel plate down into the bed, just below level with the deck, then use...
Save the oxy-aceteline for braising and get a 110-volt wire-feed welder from Harbor Fright.
(don't forget the auto-darkening mask! trust me, it's worth it!)

Ok, it looks like I have the internally regulated model. I understand the non-servicable parts thing, but as long as I can identify a blown diode and find a suitable replacement, (my dad retired after 13 years at Xerox as an electronics inspector. I learned to solder when I was 9.) Changing a...
Before I get the old "Read the TM, Stupid!" I'd love to but I'm having a bit of trouble searching the TMs as I'm not fluent in militaryspeak when it comes to nomenclature. I'm getting plenty of "what", now I need to know "where", so I'll just come out and ask. Where is the voltage regulator on...
I was suffering MAJOR withdrawls here! Now had I known about the facebook group, I would have joined a long time ago! Now who ever handles the group, please go and accept my request to join. :-P

I seem to recall when Ian was playing with The General, there being a substantial amount of smoke out the stack so someone might have turned it up a bit. If it hasn't been adjusted since then, you might wanna turn it down just a smidge. The farther you keep the EGT under 1000, the better...
Wow coyotegray, did that truck sit in the desert? I don't think I've seen that much cracking on a deuce steering wheel? A few years ago, Rick Bacon on Musclecar showed how to restore a cracked up steering wheel. PowerBlockTV - Video
That is of course unless you'd rather just spend the cash and...
There's enough out there to pass on one if you have serious doubts. It's a matter of asking yourself if it's worth your time and money to deal with what you already know is wrong with the truck. Every symptom has a best-case and a worst-case scenario attatched to it. Always assume the worst but...
