    Uneven bed on M35A2C

    I upload pics without the app from my phone.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I agree that there are good and bad ways of doing things. There comes a point that you are battling Murphy's law and you can't win that. Tho, I myself have no intentions of adding extra fuel tanks or cans. However, I am a brake Nazi. I have a bit of experience driving heavily loaded one tons...

    Interior rear view mirror mounting??

    I don't believe there is room to mount it where bill w has his with the a3 wipers. O, and bill w, every time I see a picture of your deuce I am impressed more and more. Very nice truck!

    Deuce transmission hard to shift.

    With these trucks the only thing you can know for sure is what YOU have done to it.

    What is this fuel tank from?

    Just fill it with water and get to welding. I have never had good luck smearing epoxy over a leak.

    Search for shimming the PTO.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    What happens if you get t-boned in the fuel tank or are carrying a can on the driver side and get hit? I understand the need for safety but it can get excessive.

    Deuce transmission hard to shift.

    Try strait 40wt non detergent motor oil. Truth be told, sounds like you have bigger problems. Do you have a PTO?

    Brake light switch

    How did you check the continuity of the switch? And are you sure that when the switch is wired in your brake lights aren't in fact staying on and simply not turning off? Cause if your lights work when you jump the wires and you have air pressure at the air pak then it must be the switch...

    About 12 hours away from buying my first deuce!!!

    4000 is not a bad price. The times of cheap deuces (-$2000) are quickly ending since the military has sold off or scrapped all but a few stragglers. Welcome to SS.

    Brake light switch

    The switch should be tee'd into the airline that goes to the service glad hand. Pull the switch then crank the truck and let it air up. Kill the truck and set the parking brake and chock the wheels. Climb under truck and have someone else step on the brake pedal. Air should start venting from...

    Axle noise? video

    My truck whines at 40 and above. No grinding though. Pulling the third member is quite a task. The only good way to do it is to pull the entire axle from under the truck. Then use an engine lift or forklift to pull the third member from the axle. I'd say it easily weighs 200+ pounds. I...

    Engine Coolant - The pond on the passenger floor

    Meh....I can't say I'm the worlds best at looking through the TM's myself. Especially when I don't know if that particular TM even exists. Such as the short air pak TM.

    Heath's M35A2... the beginning

    Hey heath what's the method for applying that phosphoric etch acid? And does it need to be neutralized or anything before applying paint? Saw you mention it at the end of your grinder wheel video.

    Maxspeed3's Deuce Build Thread

    That 15 gallon dewalt is really going to struggle with a paint gun. Especially with that small of a tank. The thing with air tools is most people overlook the cfm needs of the tool vs. the cfm output of their compressor. The output of the compressor needs to exceed the tools cfm needs to...

    Maxspeed3's Deuce Build Thread

    That depends. I have a 20 gallon quincy that will do 7.1 cfm at 100 psi and 8.1 cfm at 40 psi. The motor is continuous duty also. The best part is it still just plugs into a 115v socket. This compressor also cost double what some full sized shop compressors cost. But this was the most...

    Changed a D to a C turbo, a few questions?

    From what I understand the OEM filter flows considerably more than anything except maybe the k&n. OEM vs. Napa/wix I believe there is about a 50 to 100 cfm flow difference.

    Changed a D to a C turbo, a few questions?

    Also since you mention k&n there are a few points to know. If you run on the road 99% of the time and do not live in a dusty area then they are GREAT! However if you do a lot of off roading then they suck tha cack. All of my road vehicles have k&n filters and after several hundred thousand...

    You do know the OEM filter is washable right?

    Changed a D to a C turbo, a few questions?

    Well I don't know if it being soaked in fuel is a sign of impending failure but a hot engine soaked in fuel is not good. The leak is probably from the center bolt on the HH. There are many threads in the deuce forum covering this.
