    Proper use of help in thread titles

    Well, this makes sense. Generally all upper case characters have been accepted as more urgent and/or yelling. Would it not be more helpful to add this to the Forum Rules, or FAQ? Not to critizise, but perhaps a helpful suggestion: I think more mileage would be gained, more training of the...

    deuce bumper numbers

    All Ya'll should post your info in CARNAC's http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/80494-2012-vin-info-thread.html - and he may be able to retrieve some history and information about your trucks. All he asks is a small donation to the Gene Vance JR Foundation for Catastrophically Wounded...

    Airbags?

    I called up my mother and talked to her when I was looking to get my truck. Of course, she knows of my eccentricities so she encouraged me, but also cautioned me with many good points of things I should look up, read, understand, and call and ask first. Not just the technical aspects, but...

    Deuce is Home

    NICE Deucenut! That must have been quite a drive. Glad you had a good rig and trailer to handle it all with relatively minimal difficulty. Utah needs more SS members and deuce owners in general. [thumbzup] If you could, I'd appreciate a PM on what route you went with for registration and...

    CX-10613/G cable needed

    Thanks for the pictures, and cool wiring job! However, I believe if you're connecting the 3-pin side ports of the suppressor to the battery, then that effectively by-passes the entire suppressor. I don't think that the circuit breaker or battle override switches will have any affect. According...

    CX-10613/G cable needed

    Not to resurrect a 2 and 1/2 year old thread, but my question directly relates to this and CARNAC's comment quoted above. I have a 10-foot CX-10613/G that still has both ends. It seems like a shame to cut off the 3-prong end, but obviously my M35A2 isn't the vehicle it was intended or...

    From So Cal to Salt Lake. Deuce and 5 ton.

    Found yourself a truck or two I see! When I was looking to buy an M35A3 from Hill Field AFB a couple years ago (didn't work out, price went too high, so I got the A2 that I have now), I was looking to price and arrange towing to my place. I spoke to Tory at Government Liquidation and, I...

    Battery Disconnect - Installed!

    You bet! Nothing helps me more than seeing how or what other folks did. Typically I don't follow exactly what they did, but it gives me ideas, and somewhere to start and say "I think this way will work better for me". I would like to add, for the type of battery disconnect that I used, you...

    List your reason behind your MV

    I need a "none of the above" option. Sure, I enjoy putting it in parades, but I got mine because it's the closest I can afford to a tank - haha. In all seriousness, I've always enjoyed collecting militaria and I didn't even know I could own an M35 until my brother showed me a pair for sale...

    My M116A2 in Moab

    I like what you did with it. I'm impressed. Very cool!

    ?? Starting of in 2nd gear??

    AH! That's exactly it, I'm stopped with the transmission in neutral and I need to get into first. It did feel like things were still spinning in the transmission, I will certainly have to remember to do as you said, shift into another forward gear, then into first (while keeping the clutch...

    ?? Starting of in 2nd gear??

    I haven't put a lot a miles on my 1972 deuce, but I feel that it shifts very well from first into second with only a minor slow down. I'm not a master driver, so it also works well for me. :wink: That said, sometimes I roll up to a stop, waiting for traffic, and have trouble getting it back...

    Tons of AWESOME info but . . . why "bob"

    Hello Austin! Welcome aboard, and I'm glad to see another relatively close Military Vehicle enthusiast! [thumbzup] Let me share with you a few things that I've learned with owning a deuce in Utah. Please note, the follow are my opinions and experiences and may still contain inaccuracies...

    Boyce Equipment

    I know this thread originated quite some time ago, but good info, is good info. Boyce was the first place that I found that would perform a Utah state safety inspection on my deuce and not try to lie to me and tell me that they needed to charge me shop time to pull a rear tire and break a hub...

    Concerned over oil pressure

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Hah, you bet! Do you need pictures looking from the rear looking forward (since those pictures, minus the end of the video, are from the front looking rearward)? I need more... "excuses" to drive my deuce, because I tend not to drive it much with so much impatient drivers turning in front of...

    Concerned over oil pressure

    Well cool, thanks everyone who replied. I will check my sending unit and gauge. Though, might have to change the thread title to "No longer concerned...." :whistle:

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Found a new shop that would do state safety inspections and not attempt to force false laws on me by requiring running lights and clearance lights be installed all over the truck. I've had it confirmed in person by a state Trooper, and on the phone with the Department of Public Safety Admin...

    Concerned over oil pressure

    M35A2-AZ, do you know if your sending unit and gauge match? TM9-2320-209-10-2, page 1-11, says: "If your oil pressure gauge has a maximum reading of 60 psi and the needle peaks at 60 psi, notify organizational maintenance. They will replace the gauge and sending unit with one that can measure...
