    Emergency help with dead deuce

    As your tank gets lower on a duece, the fuel can slosh around easier, moving any dirt that has settled on the bottom. This would mean that dirt has more chance of getting sucked up as you go through a tank normally, not just when you get down to the bottom. With that in mind, it's a good idea...

    Oil Leaks

    The TM's address classes of leaks in the PMCS section. In general if it's weeping or slight seepage of oil, it's no big deal. As long as it doesn't form drops, it can wait. You shouldn't have any leakage from the brake lines though.

    hose running down from turbo resting against front axle?

    If it's just to prevent pressure build up, height or lenth shouldn't matter. I'd think rerouting it into the intake side would be better as there could be some gases in the tube that would possibly add a smidge of power. Seems like venting it to the exhaust side could possibly add a bit more...

    Mud Bog Help

    It's PMCS- Preventive Maintenance Checks (and) Services. It means checking your vehicle before, during, and after use, ie; the exact opposite of what my wife does with the car.

    Deuce Problem

    I was just out your way a couple of weeks ago. Nice area, wish I had more time out there. Seems like a deuce would be real handy out there.

    New Deuce and some Questions...

    Well they can't bust you for parking on a lawn, that raggety weed patch in no way resembles a lawn!! ;-):p

    Work for M35a2...good deal or not?

    It's your time, so it depends on what your time is worth. If' you don't have a lot on your calendar, might be a good deal. The one BIG thing I'd have a concern with is if you get hurt on the job. There may be liability issues and insurance issues for the MV owner, and issues for you if you...

    Feedback needed - towbar mount

    I don't think it's a bad place to mount a towbar, I just think you've got too many bars up front. That's where we put them in Iraq, and they worked fine. And they are MUCH heavier towbars for the MRAPS. (70,000#'s plus) I'd move the towbar on top to where the black tubes are, and maybe move...

    Sad Day, watched it drive away....

    Uhh, overstating things a bit maybe? I'd roll every vehicle I got off a cliff for my family.

    1971 M35A or 2001 M35A3?? Need opinions!

    Okay, in response to the original question, I'd go with the A2. Why? well if you're gonna be pulling people out a winch would be handy. plus the money you saved not buying the A3 will give you lots of money for upgrades and spare parts and tools. I know the A3 is "newer", but I've seen a lot...

    Going rate for a cargo cover

    I've been trying to price a cargo covers, but I've not found many out there, and prices seem to kind of all over the place. One place had them for $1200, but it includes a complete set of bows which I don't need. Another place has them for$1200 and specifically states that none of the bows are...

    The Epic Separation

    You could easily hit the Badlands and Wall drug off of I-90. You can SEE the Black hills from the Badlands on most days, so it's not too far. LOTS of stuff to do around Rapids City. It's especially green around there this year, they've had a lot of rain this year, I just got back from Pine...

    M35 bed bolts... #, kind, etc????

    I believe those bolts and nuts are fine thread as well, Although course threads should work as well with self locking nuts.

    driving without doors?

    They have doors, they're just sliding doors and they leave them locked open so they can jump in and out faster. And so the ladies can admire their calves when they wear shorts. :razz:

    Why do you love your deuce?

    Maybe Aaron has one of them pound cakes from the old C-rations that somebody stashed under the dash... MMM-mmm those where good!!

    MRAP wheels and tires on a deuce?

    Hurtlec, at least those tires and rims got turned into DRMO, instead of getting burned or buried. I guess it sucks when work interrupts some peoples' day. You wouldn't believe what I saw go on over "there". aua:soapbox:

    Why do you love your deuce?

    Don't forget that great smell! That's the second thing I think of after that turbo whistle! The smell reminds me of the many hours I spend driving one to and from Camp Grayling Mi., when the military wasn't so PC. :roll: I love that somewhat musty canvas and oil smell. Reminds me of the...
