Creating this thread since I didn't see this info in the forums anywhere. When opening the passenger side knuckle we found needle bearings in the grease from where the ujoint had failed, not sure why. Trying to source one was fun as most of the info is on driveline ujoints and the surplus...

My old oil cooler cover had developed several holes in it which I had tried to patch with JB Weld previously, but never held well without leaking. It looks like corrosion possibly from bad pH coolant or just years of erosion action - I dunno. I had talked to tnj Murray and they had a take...

Pulled the front plug, nothing but black oil, then pulled the back drain plug that drains the little bump-out area on the rear part of the oil pan. What appeared to be water, maybe 1/2 gallon came out FIRST and then nice black oil. Did not appear to be coolant from the smell, though there is a...

When I bought my truck (M35a2) from Al back in 2013 he sent along with it a running take out LDS multi-fuel motor (from a 5 ton) with a wastegate turbo which remains packaged up the same way I got it from him : | When I bought the truck I had two less kids and a nice paying IT job - since then...

I've read the threads indicating that these are better, but it looks like torque rod ends are becoming rarer (even the stock ones) and cant find anyone selling the greaseable ones. They still available (tried Big Mikes and Erik' s and both are sold out)? Also, am I missing some simple...

After reading up about sloppy shift levers I went and tightened the nut on the shaft to better grip on the stub shaft, that definitely helped the play (pretty much solved it). However what I'm now noticing (couldn't even tell before with all the play) is that the spring to return the shifter to...

NO! I knew the lever won't disengage under load, however I didn't realize the weight of the cable alone is enough to prohibit disengaging! I'd finished cleaning and lubing the cable and was winding it neatly. I'd stopped several times without problem, however at the last 2 feet or so the lever...

I did this yesterday and figured I'd write it up though it was relatively straightforward. The old steel tank was pretty nasty (though I've seen worse) and I was able to pick up an A3 tank for a great price. I started by cleaning out the A3 tank by hand. I first drained about 5 gallons of off...

I was crawling around under my truck and noticed a nice shiny metal linkage sticking out of the rear of the transmission cover. It is item #16 in this picture: It is designated as the following in TM 9-2520-346-34P: It looks like this is an unused linkage for some kind of add-on item that...

Thought I'd start up a thread on my new Deuce. I bought this off of SS member Kaiserjeeps, who (in ID) was kind enough to help get it packed up on its way to me (in MD)...a long haul. He had it listed briefly (1 month maybe) here in the classifieds, and it worked out that while he had it off...

There are many Deuce TM's listed on this site and elsewhere, some of which appear to overlap in topic and content, some of which are newer than others. I made a little list of the TM's I had and how they relate to each-other and thought I'd post it up. Forgive if this info is posted elsewhere...

I found Breton Industries last night as a supplier of new manufacture canvas covers for the military and asked for a price quote for a tri-color camo M35 cover. I've seen some (limited) talk about them on the board, but figured I'd post the quote they gave: NOS covers are going for $800 -...

I've searched and read several really good threads on these units including this one which I've bookmarked. However most of them are dedicated to troubleshooting them and there is confusion on which PN's are being discussed. What I'm still unclear on are the part numbers and models. I know...

Hey guys, been reading here intensively for a year or more now, and finally pulling the trigger on a private sale for an M35A2 from a member here. Figured I'd introduce myself and more importantly a big THANK YOU to the many members who have compiled the great bit of knowledge here on the site...
