    Odd rear light issue m35a2

    I'd start by cleaning the grounds.

    Spot Sand Blaster

    I did an entire 939series truck using the smallest harbor freight pistol type sandblaster. I started with the idea that i was going to touch up the front bumper, and before I knew it i was finishing up the rear bumperettes a couple weeks later....

    I need some feedback on the value of my '87 USAF M35A2C

    More like $12-17k in my opinion. + a value enhancement since it comes from the deuce doctor.

    Horn Upgrade

    Thanks! My HMMWV horn is anemic and only works sometimes. I really should replace it... but a K5LA just isn't in the budget. You really think that one reaches the advertised 150dB?

    Aftermarket alternator

    No trips planned, but I'll happily buy it from you and pay shipping. I'll send you a PM with my number... Tha ks!

    Aftermarket alternator

    Good information, thanks! I'm not really concerned with much beyond getting something for the belt to ride. My use case for the wrecker means it's almost always at 1600rpm anyway, and it can even stay plugged in when parked.

    Aftermarket alternator

    It wasn't really a friend. I don't know the guy. The deal was he'd give me the old failed one. I was going to put the bad one on my truck simply for a place holder to give the belt something to ride, and keep the batteries charged by means of a charger. The guy ghosted me. I don't really...

    Aftermarket alternator

    24si says it's 12V. Maybe 28si? Whatever this one is -

    Aftermarket alternator

    Farmers in KS use 939series trucks as silage trucks. One of them had an alternator go bad last fall and needed one right then. I sold him the one off my M936A2. So now I need one for me. I seem to remember there was an aftermarket option that wasn't terribly expensive and wasn't a particularly...

    New member hello

    The fun began yesterday, driving it up and down the road for the first time. Learning the idiosyncrasies of the deuce transmission. Never was so much fun had, while going so slow. In a cold drizzling rain.

    I'm about 12mi from the NE border, and I have a truck as well as accessories available. Welcome to the hobby!

    Ten 14 x 2400 NDT tires on rims, what’s a fair price? I’m trying to trade

    JMHO $150 each seems like a first approximation.

    Hey! That looks familiar. :)

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Worked for me. Here are screenshots of the relevant information, note particularly the Starfish details under the pic where they experienced the EMP but not ionizing radiation-

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    EMP has substantially more range than the lethal ionizing radiation. CME can also generate an EMP. The link you didn't read was US Naval Institute..

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Your assertion conflicts with USNI https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2023/february/emp-or-solar-incident-could-result-blackout-wa That said, I don't really think hardening our vehicles against EMP is of much value either.

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    Good info on the bearings. As to the water tanks causing trucks to flip, it isn't so much the weight as it is the slosh. A half full unbaffled tank is far more dangerous than a full one. Using a 5ton doesn't really resolve this. If you've never experienced it, it's quite impressive. Make a...
