Ugh, thanks for information. I don't think my wife will allow me to spring for a pressure bleeder right now, so I am thinking about the two-man method. I looked at the rear wheels, and saw the valve on it. But, I couldn't get any of my wrenches to fit. Do I need a socket?

Hi - Similar situation for me. Just received a deuce and the brake pedal goes straight to the floor. I opened the master reservoir, and added about 10 ounces of DOT 5, put the top back on, and the pedal still goes straight to the floor. In the manual, it mentions pumping the pedal three...

Yeah, I would not have thought to do that and then I would have been frustrated trying to understand how you guys thought I should have put it in from the rear. Thanks!! I managed to get the switch in, but am missing the screws to attach it to the dash. Oh well, one small victory at a time.

Ah, thanks. I'll try that.

The deuce I received from GL was missing the three way light switch. I ordered what I thought was a replacement from ebay: Military Truck M151 A1 A2 M35 M54 Head light Switch New: eBay Motors (item 140407777729 end time May-20-10 19:30:52 PDT) When I take the replacement switch and try and put...

Well, I found a driver. Thanks for all the suggestions/offers to help!

I am trying to get a Deuce shipped from Ft. Riley to Austin. I'm working with Eric from Hotshot to try and get a driver lined up, but he is having some bad luck finding an available driver this week. In order to make GL happy and not miss my 10 day load out, I'm thinking of trying to find a...

Where was your truck, South? Please say Kansas!

I see two problems with me being the mechanic for the truck: 1) I don't have a spot to work on it. I will keep it about 50 minutes away from my house on the land my father in law owns. Due to the remote nature of the property, both from where I live and from the nearest auto parts store...

Gents (and ladies?): I am looking for suggestions on a mechanic and a body shop for my new deuce in Austin, TX. Anywhere within a 30 mile radius of downtown would work for either. The mechanic I was planning on using, as it turns out, is not familiar with MV's and I would prefer to find...

As tempting as it is to try and drive it home, I have a kind of tight schedule with work and all, so if anything broke during transit, I would probably end up spending more to tow/repair/lodge/repeat than to just ship it. Sadly, I am friends with a bunch of city boys, only one of whom is able...

Thanks, I sent them a request!

I've seen anywhere from 1.25 to 2.5 per mile. I'm hoping for closer to the 1.25 mark! The truck appears to be missing the three way light switch, so it is not possible to drive home without some mechanical attention, and I am not mechanically inclined.

I received my Paid in Full invoice yesterday from govliquidation a little earlier than I expected and now need to arrange transportation from the base in Ft. Riley, KS to Austin, TX. The truck is a M35A2 with winch; the auction states that it runs and starts. I need this picked up by 5/25, but...

First EUC, and I was kind of planning on a slow turnaround. Oh well, time to break the news to the wife that we own a Deuce! This is for event 5127 Submission of EUC Pending 04/08/2010 EUC revisions requested from Customer 04/12/2010...

Thanks for the great feedback! I'm glad to hear the issues appear to be small. From the pictures, I didn't notice the hole where the light switch should be, so thanks Wyo and wsu for pointing that out. I'll order one before the truck arrives. Great comments about shipping vs driving...

After several weeks of trying, I finally won an auction on GL. There were a couple good trucks at Redstone, but several went for 3,500+! That was a tad over my budget. I ended up with one from Kansas, and I'll be eager to get it home in 60-70 days, when my EUC is approved. The good news is...
