OK, here's the story... I looked at many of the ex-military Humvees that were available recently & either found them to be in need of much work (which equals future $$ to be spent), or they seemed to be over-priced (equals extra $$ today), or they had been highly modified to the owner's...

More on my recently acquired '71 M35A2.... I was poking around under the hood and noticed that the 2 rear mounting bracket bolts for the IP were quite loose (not even finger tight... in fact they had backed off about 1/16"...) :sad: So I grabbed some wrenches & tightened them down. What is...

I recently acquired a '71 M35A2 that had a leaky axle at the fwd-tandem axle. We replaced the seals, repacked the bearings & all seems fine now. :grin: A few days later I checked my axle vents & 2 of the 3 appeared to be somewhat clogged. -The front axle vent seemed to "hiss" after I did the...

WHERE are the vents located for the TRANNY & also for the XFERCASE? I'm going to be checking fluid levels tomorrow before a long drive & I want to ensure that my vents can "spin & bounce". (I figure that they must be located on the TOP of the trans & xfer, but I'm guessing that they are...

What is the proper way to fill the M35A2 cooling system? I DO NOT have a heater attached to my cooling system. I had a very small coolant leak at both of the intake manifold hoses (a very slow "drip, drip, drip" once the cooling system built up pressure) caused by loose hose clamps. I...

I'm considering buying a rare old Deuce located in Redding, California. Need to have it shipped to Statesboro, Georgia. Dates are flexible. Truck runs, drives, stops. (brakes are weak, tires are worn) Drive on & off of trailer. Need a decent price on shipping to make this purchase...

I want to ensure that my axle vents are working OK... WHY? I recently replaced a rear axle seal on 2 axles, & I do have a weeping pinion seal on one axle (this is the next item on "the list"). So I want to be 100% sure that the vents are not clogged or malfunctioning in any way. I know the...

I just received a new pinion seal from one of our biggest Deuce parts vendors (name omitted on purpose). The package has a "Cured" date of "3Q91" & a "Shelf Life" date of "3Q96". :?: Is this common? :?: Anything to be concerned about? Has anyone ever received a seal that was hard or...

Where can I get a new Master Cylinder Cap? Mine appears to be leaking/weeping... (Might just be slightly overfilled... But it still shouldn't be letting fluid out. To be honest I'm more worried about what it might be letting IN!) Also noticed that the vent line isn't connected to the...

What is the acceptable operating temp for a wheel bearing? What temp is too hot? I just had the rear wheel seals on the passenger side replaced and now they are running 130 degrees after a short 10 minute drive on the freeway, 180 degrees after a 20 minute freeway drive. The driver's side...

Yesterday I picked up a recently purchased M35A2 that I've purchased from a private party. The PO isn't very familiar with Deuces, and accidentally overfilled the crankcase with oil (it is approx 2.5" above the full mark (checked 5mins after running)). But based on what the PO told me it could...

Hey guys I need your help... I'm picking up an M35A2 near Huntsville, AL (approx 15miles NE of town) in about 9 days. BUT, it has what appears to be a leaky wheel cylinder on the pass-side middle wheel. While I could just nurse it home by checking the brake fluid level frequently, I'd prefer...
