    New from Dallas

    Mad Hatter, welcome to the site. Have you considered buying from a private owner? The guys on here have a lot of nice OD iron to sell. Bought my M-35A2 from an ss member and I couldn't be happier. Just a thought. Bob C.

    55Mph Detonation. . .

    I would be curious to know if the gov's on these engines were set correctly. Just because the tach says DANGER , I would not trust that. I wouldn't rev to that mark. My gov. kicks in about 2300 if the tach is correct. Maybe we should slow it down a bit to be sure we don't blow all our trucks up.

    What is this?

    Don't forget the the right cold cranking amp batterys that are up to par. To many times cold starting problems are mistaken for lack of heating the block or fuel. That is very important but the correct cranking speed must be obtained to fire a diesel also. Make sure in cold weather the batterys...

    New lite switch

    Two 900x20's and a soft top seem a little steep for a light switch. You can buy a brand new three lever for 48.00. I guess every body has different things they like to play with. No offense intended.

    deuce exhaust sound...HELP!

    If it's shaking that bad at an idle, then I would say you definately have a cylinder that is not efficient. When you load the engine the weak cylinder is more likely to effect the exaust sound. Sounds to me like a possible fuel delivery problem or a weak valve spring or leaking exaust valve. I...

    Just driving around

    At least once a week on the weekends. As much as I can when time permits. Don't need a reason. When that feeling hits, I jump in and just drive!

    Hub Flip... now that I am here... now what?

    New parts are always nice but if you do it right, rebuilding wheel cylinders and the master cylinder are very reliable. Rebuilt the system on my m-37 and had no problems for six years. Sold the truck and it still had good brakes. Did my m-211 also with no problems. You need to hone correctly and...

    Radioactive Gauge Spotter's Guide

    Guys, I can be pretty certain that we will all pass away someday [hopefully a lot later] from something other than radioactive guages. Did they think we were going to eat them? The air we breath is more harmfull than those gauges are. Thanks for the info NDT.

    A few good words about g.l.

    Drive your trucks for six months or so and then let me know how much money you saved buy buying from GL. Too many times I have heard people say they would never buy from a private owner because the price is too high and then a few months later they are posting want ads for motors and...

    251 in the American M37

    My M-37 had a 251 in it and no sheet metal modifications. As Bill W said, there was no fan spacer.

    Take one m35a2 and call me in the morning

    I also at times just sit in my truck . There is something about these trucks that draws you to them. I have many toys but my military trucks are the ones that I would not part with!

    Eastern Surplus- Web Page- Update

    I have never met Dave and he probably is a nice guy but I will never buy anything from him at those prices union shop or not. He is not the only one with ridiculous pricing. Have you noticed the crazy money people are asking for 105 trailers. 1000.00 is insane for a trailer. Those trailers are...

    Possible solution to the new GL deuce problem

    Hey guys, I have a great idea! If you don't like the way they treat you, don't buy from them! Would you go back to a restaurant if the food and service was bad?

    Interesting question from the DMV

    When DMV asks you what kind of truck it is , tell them it is a flatbed. That is in their drop-down menue. I had to pick that option or I never would have gotten out of there!
