Have an issue with the alternator overcharging. In the Red at idle and any throttle makes it go even higher. Originally this fried my first set of batteries and blew out at least one of the gauges in the dash. I replaced the Alternator, batteries, etc., and upon hooking up the new alternator...

I have been away for a while and trying, unsuccessfully to find the do's and don'ts of starting a surplus sourced mep002. All i remember is that if i do it wrong i will fry yhe stock voltage regular. Do you start it, and then adjust the throttle, or should the throttle be turned up so it...

Does anyone know where I can pick up a grease cap for a M1102 trailer hub? Not sure how, but lost one on the way home last week.

In the process of moving my truck to my brothers my Alternator fried everything including gages. I have disconnected the alternator, removed fried batteries, installed what should be okay batteries and attempted to start the truck. Buzzers go off but it does not turn over. Don't know how much...

I never would have imagined that I would ask this question, but I am missing something that is probably obvious to most others. I need to disconnect my alternator and either replace it or replace the regulator. I removed the bolt to pull off the obvious cable. My problem comes with removing...

Recovered my M931A2 Friday and it is now sitting safely in my back yard beside my home. I had gone up earlier in the week and verified all the fluids were topped off and check over everything I could before starting it up. Came back Friday to replace batteries and start it up so I could...

http://video.foxnews.com/v/1547240284001/mystery-over-fleeced-grease?intcmp=features Thought this was interesting. When I linked to the video the commercial was about alternative fuels, which I thought was funny. :)

I am trying to ship a 300 lb crate from Orlando, FL 32804 to Honey Grove, TX 75446 and Fed-Ex just explained to me that they do not ground-ship private loads, only Company freight. Any suggestions on a company that could ship a 300lb 66”x17”x12” crate (tow bar) from FL to TX at the least cost...

I just pulled off my front hub to replace seals and repack everything including some new boots. I am torquing everything to spec, and was putting on the 12 nuts and new lock washers that hold the spindle to the steering knuckle and ended up stripping one of the nuts and another feels like it...

My brother found this trailer in a field. Mother nature is doing her best to reclaim it but it actually still looks solid from the pictures. Can anyone identify this trailer. Any historic value worth fighting the trees to get it back?

Well, I was changing all the fluids on my new GL purchased Deuce and had to wait/order the 9/16 pipe fitting for the transfer case drain plug. It came in last week and I proceeded to drain the case. First concern is that the case sounded pressurized when I removed the plug. I have had some...

I am restoring a Deuce and would like to dedicate the markings to my Dad. He served in the 7th Army, 9th Ordnance Battalion, 57th Ordinance Group, Company B. This was the group that had the nuclear artillery (i.e., Atomic Annie and the like). I believe the bumper number would be something like...

I leaned my hood against the cab of my deuce while changing the oil. I did not drop it on the cab and eased it against the cab. There was a light breeze that morning but it wasn't windy. When I lowered it, I noticed a deep crease across my hood and wanted to know what I did wrong? aua I...

How can I get information on my USAF truck without the data plate. I have the S/N but that is it. S/N is 1040-10443. I was going to order a reproduction data plate but would like to have the correct data for the truck on it. Also, I'm trying to fill out my SF-97 but do not know the year. I...

We got in late last night after bringing my new M35A2C home from a GL auction at Tinker AFB in OK. I had planned to take a lot of pictures for before and after but upon showing up at Tinker and talking to the GL rep, my day was suddenly booked solid. The conversation started with, "what did...

I have seen these listed at 300 lbs each with the wheel from the GL listing, and I have seen them as much as 480 lbs from a reseller. They are 395 85R20s. Can anyone give me a warm fuzzy that the 300 lbs each estimate is the real number? I will be picking 8 of these up with a repurposed...

I downloaded all the manuals last night and will start reading them today. Looks like there is a manual specifically addressing inspection of the truck. It seems that in my searches, some people recommend always towing/trailering the deuce home even if it is drivable? Assuming the truck looks...

I am located in Dallas, TX, and was thinking of entering the hobby. I know this has been discussed, but wanted to know if the "fully serviced" version from Boyce is the best starting point for a new purchase? Obviously if a long time trusted member of SS was offering his like new Deuce for a...
