That would be another way to go to fix it and a good idea. I could've started totally from scratch and flared the ends, but the flares they had were in good shape. My flaring tool will make double flares but there are better tools out there for that. Certainly where it is brazed the copper is...

Front Fuel Line repair under radiator I temporarily spliced the under radiator core fuel line with 3/8" rubber house back during summer to get this truck home. I've driven and used this truck since then, and was a little disgusted with myself to see how much the fuel line had kinked when I was...

Before and after

Finally got around to updating the oil filters to jantonkas spin on oil filters. Before the filters https://youtube.com/6wk3MzX8QNk After the filters https://youtube.com/nEFJuNmLXbQ I should add that to be fair, I started the truck Friday night, and ran it. Waited 24hrs and started it...

Do you no longer get weather like this where you are at, or did you move?

Well, I'm definitely in the market for a full set of chains for my deuce. I don't have any intention of going somewhere, but we've had two feet of snow and now 40 mph wind. Does anyone know who sells military chains-both single 900-20 chains and tri-railer chains? I like being prepared and...

No rust issues is always a good thing. How do you find the standard issue heater works? This truck had one, as it was stationed in South Dakota(I found the paperwork on the floor where an E7 signed to release it for liquidation), but it was removed-I can see the witness marks where it was...

Got any pics of the dual cab heater?

With the NDTs it does rather suck in the snow. I would like to find some chains for it, so let me know if you run across any! Of course a personnel heater and defroster wouldn't be all bad...

So, what do you do in Montana when it's 0F out? Fire up the deuce of course! Went for a quick drive on the frontage road. Determined a personnel heater would be nice for such occasions, but the truck did awesome. I really enjoy these trucks. Nothing like having a little ground clearance! When...

Put the M35 into service and saved a m211! Took me roughly 60 miles of dirt road to get her home. The deuce performed flawlessly. I needed the front axle's help a few times through bad road conditions. Also passed by a small town vfd that had 4-m35 out and I think one m211.

Took the deuce to a home town parade and car show. The car show guys always make me laugh--had some guys with newer mustangs pull up and wipe down and polish their cars. My wife thought I should whip out a rattle can of OD paint to touch up any blemishes on the deuce to show them up! Fun...

Okay, I am happy to report that the old deuce is home! Very uneventful trip. I cut the copper line, spliced a rubber hose in place of the smashed part for a temporary fix. Filled the tires with air, replaced the batteries(group 31s fit awesome), I changed the fuel filters. I also drained some of...

Well, today is the day-plan on running over to the truck and seeing if we can get her going. After trickle charging the batteries, then load testing-it was quickly apparent they are history. Two seconds into the load, they dropped down to almost 8 volts. No surprise. I haven't decided whether...

Forgive my ignorance, but I was curious about the front axle-can it be locked in on the fly? Or does one need to stop to engage it(obviously it shouldn't be locked in when you already have wheel slippage)? I read the operator's TM, but did no recall seeing a section on locking the front axle. It...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8pth9G0UT4 Watch as this guy rolls back off the embankment, that fuel line sits right behind the winch, on the bottom of the cross member under the radiator. I would suspect it was damaged by something like that.

Sure could always use another MV lover. Just don't turn it into Denver, holy smokes that place is nuts

they are wearing jackets. After that 95-100 degrees we had last week it dropped back down to 60 degrees and was about 45 last night. Of course our humidity is only about 20% even when it is hot! I wouldn't make it in ok with the humidity! I have one for one battery setup, but not two. You've...

My first order of business was to pull the batteries. The battery tray was the updated plastic one. Gonna try trickle charging these, which is probably pointless, but worth a shot. The batteries have stamped shipped 2009. The truck sat here in Montana from about 2011ish on. Just maybe they will...

So on my first list of things to replace, I need a passenger lower seat cushion, and the fuel line from the primary filter under the radiator-that line almost looked like copper? Where is the best place to scrounge that stuff up?
