Well if it is any help, I searched for a few weeks before getting mine and managed to find my best deal local. I got a winch truck, 25k miles, heater, hard top, like new cargo cover with great bows n racks, LDS 465 1A engine(40 plus hp over standard) with the whistler turbo, and a nice M105A1...

I used the 34079, and upon further looking today it appears to be what the truck was originally painted with. The areas I haven't painted and that were never exposed to direct sun light seem to match the new paint. Before painting it I had that faded blue/green look. The dash said CARC was...

Nope, it is the 34079 Forest Green. It looks alot like OD though.

Thanks guys for posting the pics of the MERDC painted trucks. Now when I look at them, the green on them is much lighter then what I sprayed on my truck yesterday. Here is a pic of what I have so far.

Thanks guys. I have to decide what route to take now. Think I may follow the current three color pattern and see how it turns out. Worst case scenario I have to repaint the green areas. I'm not real fond of the MERDC patterns for a Deuce. It looks cool on some other equipment, but not on the one...

Yeah, it's my understanding that there were some painted camo at the time of the war, but none were sent there with the camo paint.

I ordered paint this week from Rapco, and being a newbie I ordered the wrong paint. I guess I should have odered the CARC replacement, but instead I ordered what they call the Vietnam era forest green and drab brown along with flat black. I painted the truck with the green, and it just looks too...

That loks like what I had in mind to build. What kind of separators are those? Does the air power pump pulsate alot or have any effect on your separators?

I looked at those, and it sounds like a great idea. I just can't afford that right now. I am trying to set my whole system, including trailer, up for less the 500 bucks. We will have to wait and see if I can do that.

I know the lack of time issue. Working two jobs is going to make this a longer term project then I would like to see.

Ok, I am thinking now that I will run filters to the tank for the initial pick up. Then I will take it home and let it sit to settle and warm up. Then I may set up an electric pump and centrifuge to run it through and into a larger tank at my shop. I didn't realize wmo would need to be heated to...

I have been doing some reading on here about burning wmo in my M35A2 with the LDS-465-1A engine. I have a few questions about filtering it. I plan to set up a recovery trailer to retrieve the wmo from a few places that have offered it for free. My plan was to filter it as I pump it into the tank...

Been doing some reading, and seems regulators are the main failure. So went ahead and ordered a regulator and will try that first.

No go :-? I removed the plug, but there was nothing under it to adjust. There was a small spring clip looking thing just laying in there. I'm wondering if someone tried it before and backed it all the way out, if that is possible? Sounds like it definitely will have to come apart or be replaced :(

Ah! I was wondering how that worked. I turned the allen screw, but didn't realize it was just a plug and the adjustment was under it. Thanks a bunch! I will try it out in the next day or so.

Brought my Duece home last week, and noticed then the volt gauge was staying in the yellow. I just got around to checking it out, and sure enough my alternator is not working. I have rebuilt a number of alternators in the past for 12v automobiles, but have never messed with a 24v. Anyone know...

Turned out to be the switch. It's the type operated by the brake fluid pressure. I just have to order another one, along with a few other small parts I need before I tag and drive it. Thanks guys!

:ditto: I just got my first M35A2, and it's going to be my rolling advertisement for my gun shop. I also plan to use it to transport my guns and gear to and from the range and gun shows.

Thanks, I'll start there. Maybe I will get lucky and just have something unplugged ;)

Yeah, I tried with the light switch in all possible settings. I have headlights, turn signals, and rear running lights. Just no brake lights. Probably something simple. I am hoping to get a chance to work on it tomorrow. I figured maybe someone new of a common problem that maybe would save me...
