Driving without a hub would be very sloooowwwww indeed since the wheel would not have stayed with the truck either. Sorry, I meant to say "drive hub" or "drive flange". It sure does feel better steering around tight turns without the front end turning and the forward rear axle disconnected...

I took my front driveshaft off yesterday due to the non-airshift transfercase, removed the front drive hubs, removed the left forward axle shaft, and temporarily installed front drive hub on rear. Drove it about a mile down the paved road and back for a test. What a difference in handling! I...

I think that we should see the "Loving Couple" sitting on the tailgate or front bumper in a continuation of the story. Perhaps the kids too if available. It's always nice to put a face with a name. Congrats on having a REALLY REALLY GREAT wife that obviously really loves her husband very...

I have an '84 M1009 that I have been driving to work every day since late '95. I have put about 110,000 miles on it over that time. The very BEST thing that I did for myself was go to the 33/12.50x15 all terain tires. With the THM400 tranny and 3.08 gears (OEM standard for M1009) the larger tire...

your NAPA muffler Thanks for the reply. I have mine like that too but I just wanted to make sure of correct side being the inlet. Did yours come with any instructions or was your marked with an arrow as most other mufflers are? Jim

I purchased my muffler from NAPA today (and intake elbow). My muffler box had been opened and was taped shut. The muffler was o.k. (never installed) but there were no directions inside and the box is not marked with directions either. I know that this sounds silly but there is a In and an Out...

The truck does not have a heater and never did. All of the plugs are still in place and no holes have been drilled. After market function does not seem likely since I am the first owner outside of the Uncle Sam. It is a toggle switch rather than a rotory style swith (rheostat) but I guess I...

In my '68 M35A2 WO/W there is a switch on the instrument panel that I can not identify. I have not turned it on with power on due to concerned about it's function. I have looked through the -10 and have identified two other switches that are installed in the other plugged hoes on some trucks but...

I would like to suggest using paint stripper on the frame in those areas suspected of having the VIN or Serial Number. The reason is that I have a 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2 WO/W and I started using red scotchbrite on a low speed drill and actually started to remove one of the digits in the numbers...

Air Hose Deal I did the same thing about a month ago. You will need a 3/8 to 1/2 pipe adapter to plug your 1/2 hose into the glad hand connector. I bought a new one at the local truck stop for about $7.50 and it is universal. The 1/2 inch air hose will more than likely have 3/8 pip thread...

Well I have to revise my original post. I have a 1968 truck rather than a 1970. Does anyone have a 1968 M35A2 truck made by Kaiser-Jeep with the original data plate that they could photograph and e-mail to me. This is the data plate with the contract number, serial number, and registration...

(UPDATED)Made it back Here a few pics of my really ugly M35A2 with the LTD-465-1D and without airshift front end. Sorry about the pics being out of order...this is my first time at posting pictures. Note the Command Vehicle has no license plate. Louisiana, Texas, Indiana, and a few others...

M1009 windsield price I purchased one two years ago and put it in myself. $150 would be a really good price as mentioned above. The glass is about 80 to 100 dollars so 50 to 60 dollars labor is not bad. I put in a new seal too so that was another 30 dollars or so but mine was very old and...

Does anyone own a 68, 69, or 70 M35A2 made by Kaiser-Jeep that could e-mail me a pciture of the Data Plate that the serial number or VIN is stamped or engraved into? I need to purchase a new data plate to replace my crappy generic plate installed during rebuild and I want to get the right one...

(UPDATED) Made it back Hey I was in the same lot yesterday. I picked up the truck that was next to yours I think because there was one empty slot before I got there at 10:45. I was done in two hours and towed my M1009 out behind the Deuce. I WILL post pictures when I get home. There was a SSGT...

Be careful that you don't purchased DOT 5.1. It is NOT the same or compatible with DOT 5 fluid. DOT 5 is silicone and 5.1 is not. Just a thought. Jim

O.K. 1/2 inch male and female drive is not hard to find. One is 1/2 drive extension off 1/2 drive socket wrench. 1/2 male can be taken care of by a 1/2 inch 4 or 8 point socket or perhaps an adjustable or combination wrench. 9/16 female could be a problem. What can male driver is made for in...

What are the correct tools needed to check the remove the oil fill plugs in the transmission, transfer case, and axles? Is it 3/8 or 1/2 square female drive perhaps? Just want to make sure I have the right tools and I could not find this in the stickies on this site or in the L.O. or TMs...

I have not seen one of these before and have not read about anyone receiving one of these. It is a form letter starting off with "You were assessed to purchase / receive surplus Department of Defense property through the DRMO or its commercial partner". "Some of this property on the US...

I purchased mine from Mr. Houdel on this list and in this thread. It was in like-new-condition and woks great! If I needed another, I would buy from him again. It's great to get a good deal (much much cheaper than NAPA and SnapOn) and also support a fellow brother afflicted by the O.D. Green...
