    Reading the TM Saved My Deuce!!

    Wreckermans method works. Do it, and you will have peace of mind knowing your fuel system is 100% good to go. Check the in tank pump also for operation. I drained my tank/changed filters when I first got mine, I had about 2 gallons of crud in it. After the cleaning, it ran better, and I knew...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    To answer Doghead's question, AMG has the info listed on the Truck Production Order. Basically it is the build sheet for the truck, generated by AMG. Mine lists vehicle serial #, USAF reggie #, engine serial #, paint codes, day built, day accepted, split brakes, rustproofing, heater, hard top...

    PTO rebuild issues

    the pto is "open" to the tranny, so it is very possible the pie piece is in the trany itself.

    Guys: If you can help me out with this, it would be helpful to those who dont have info like Lavarok. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/79736-attention-late-model-usaf-m35a2c-owners.html PM's are fine.

    I wouldnt worry about the pie shaped piece that is missing, but I sure would want to FIND it before it tears up anything in there.

    Late Model USAF M35A2C Registry

    All, I am going to try to compile a list of serial #'s to assist helping owners who dont have their dataplates. The only info I am looking for is the 87/88/89 "K" number, and the 9 digit serial # starting with 104#-#####, and the date that is listed on the blue warrantee data plate and/or the...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    Well, atleast you can be confident that it was made in 4/88. Mine was made in 2/88. I agree that it was probably used on an airfield with the flightline sticker. One other option it to call AMG. Be VERY nice to them, you might get somewhere with some more info on it, or where to look...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    Ok, I checked my ex USAF 1988 M35A2C for serial # stamping on the frame. My cell phone pic came out too dark, but the whole 1040-XXXXX number is stamped in numbers about 1/2 to 3/4 inch tall. I stole your pic to show where I found them. They were pretty deep, well visible under the paint job...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    This particular truck seems not to want to give up it's story. It is missing some "USAF" stuff, which could point it in the direction of an Army truck, but there is no Army info on it either, but it does have other "USAF" stuff.. We need to see if there are dates on the Blue Warrantee plate...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    Yes, paint stencils. The only place I have found my serial # punched into metal is on the dataplate. Honestly, I never checked my frame rail. Will try to do that this week. I'd imagine it should be there somewhere. As far as recharging Hawkers, I have talked to the hawker factory reps...

    An elusive serial/vin number - late model M35A2C

    looks like a USAF model. Look on the bumpers and back of the bed, for a number that looks something like 88K-12345 the 88 in this example is the year of the truck. if you have 87K, then it would be a 1987 truck. the 12345 is the serial #. the USAF serial #'s I have seen are all 1040-XXXXX for...

    Undercoating on M105 Trailer Question

    It could of been a USMC trailer, the Marines like undercoating due to the saltwater they like to play in. My exUSMC M998 has undercoating on it, it doesnt bother anything, and it does cut down a bit on noise. You can probably get back most of your investment selling the sideboards, bows and...

    M939 series was originally upgrade M809?

    Of all the 900 series 5 tons I saw in the Army (lots), I only saw ONE get a cab replaced because it got rolled. Usually when you had to replace a cab, you could find enough other things wrong the truck to max out the MEL and code it out.
