My Deuce has been leaking some motor oil out of the front of the head gasket. Not a ton of oil, but enough to annoy me and getting one of the coolant hoses greasy. Thought it might be a valve cover gasket at first but it is definitely the cylinder head gasket. Is this something major to worry...

Our local elementary school sponsored a "touch a truck" event so kids could get a close look at all kinds of big rigs so I brought out my Deuce. There were fire trucks, ambulances, cop cars and all kinds of interesting rigs but my army truck really stole the show. The kids were waiting line to...

I'm rebuilding the brakes on my M105A2 and have had good luck finding most stuff at NAPA but I can't find proper banjo bolts anywhere. Mine are so rusty that the wrench won't even fit the heads anymore. Also some of the banjo fittings are messed up from someone installing improperly flared hard...

I'm tearing down the brakes on my M105A2 to rebuild the hydraulics and just give everything a good looking over. I noticed that some trailers people have shown on the site have an air tank and some sort of a relay valve attached to it. My trailer does not have this. Is the because mine is older...

When did the M105 trailers change from the old style landing leg with one big wheel to the newer type with two small wheels and built in jack? My trailer has the old style leg with a frame delivery date of 1-65.

My wife found this pic of her Grandfather and his Jeep on a hunting trip on the north Olympic Peninsula in WA state. That's quite a mess of bobcats! The Jeep appears to be a wartime MB or GPW. We figure it was taken in the early 1950's. Just thought some of you Jeep guys would find it interesting.

The bows on my M105A2 have steel uprights and corners with wood cross pieces. Two of them are good, one is severely warped and the other two are rotted really bad. Were these cross pieces always made of wood? If later ones were steel or fiberglass, I'd like to get a set. If they're all wood...

My M105 has the two side racks and the front rack and all of the bows but I don't have a rear rack. My question, is the rear rack the same as the front, or is it different? Anyone got a pic? Thanks!

I've finally decided that I'd like to put a cargo cover on my Deuce and didn't expect any problems finding a standard green or camo vinyl cover. Surprise! All I can find are desert tan or white. Where did all the green ones go? I'm headed to Idaho Motor Pool on Wednesday to buy bows and a tan...

Been lurking here for awhile and finding a lot of great tech tips on keeping my truck rolling. My Deuce is a 1967 Kaiser M35A2 with an LDT465-1C engine. I bought it at a local auction about 7 years ago. Opening bid was $1500 and I was the only bidder. The truck also came with an M105A2 trailer...

Just got done putting a kit in my air pack and bleeding the brakes on my M35A2. Funny thing now, the air pressure locks up my brakes, brake light are on and the drivers side trailer air brake gladhand has pressure all the time! If I open the valve and let the air out, the brakes release. I know...

Bought a master cylinder kit for my M35A2 from Erik's and seem to have an extra part. The part is a thin round brass shim that is the size of the cylinder bore. At first glance I thought it was a gasket for the filler cap but it's too large and obviously too thin. This part was not in my...
