Well I'm learning more and more about my duece. It has been making an air sound and clunk since day 1. I now think it is from the air regulator and more specifically the "cut-in". It cuts-out perfect around 120psi, but the pressure never really drops much. Stays pretty steady around 120...

Fill hub Scoreboard: 2 No 1 Yes I guess, even if it never makes it to the bearing it still fills a void to help keep out oil, water, ect.???? Mine is already packed so I won't be taking it out. However, I'm concerned I didn't pack the bearings well enough so I'll be re-doing them...

When you lubricate the wheel bearings should you fill the void area in the hub between the bearings with grease as much as possible? My grandfather always did it that way and I never questioned the practice. There is no mention of this in the TMs that I have found, just pack the bearings and...

Disregard. I just found my answer in another post. According to a “Smooth Beaver” it rides on the bearing race. I need to read more and not just look at the pretty pictures!!! :D :D :D

I'm going back together with one of my rear wheels and has I was looking at the the outer seal. I was expecting it to ride on the beveled surface of the hub, like a picture I had seen from another link. However, the OD of the seal is only large enough to ride on the outer surface of the...

Does DOT 5 brake fluid have a particular color? Fluid in my master cylinder is yellowish and was told it was DOT 5. I just thougth the military did a different color than the purple stuff I have from NAPA. Or do I have so other DOT in my truck?

Doghead, thanks for the help!!!! :D

Anyone know the size of the plug that goes in the Master Cylinder when doing this test. TM just says remove adapter #11 and put in plug #13. Also, what size socket is required for the the wheel bearings? I was thinking it was 3" but want to be for sure because I want to buy one at lunch...

No air assist sterring.

I periodically hear what sounds like and air valve closing or opening while driving my duece. I hope it is not my front axle since it is air operated. I was thinking it might be the compressor kicking on and off like an A/C compressor might do on a car. Also, about 10-15 seconds after I shut...

Thanks for the help guys. The brake pedal is easy to push as far as a duece goes. I just feel the feed back. I'll check the spring just in case and will raise the wheels and check roundness. Thanks.

One of my deuces brake pedal has a pulsing feedback when stopping. If it was my civilian truck I would say the rotors needed turned but is this normal on some of the dueces. It stop quick and straight, just feel that feedback in the pedal. Thanks.

Well it was ran about 20 minutes without the battery connected, does this mean certain death to my alternator? Also, I'd like to know more about the "Slobber tube" and Air pack venting brake fluid. Does it only do it when you shut down or while applying the brakes.

I finally got my "PAID" invoice and drove down to look over my 2 M-35s to pull PMCS on them. Batterys on both were dead. I had already pulled the batterys on one before the Motor Pool Sargent came by and offered a jump. So with the jump it cranked right up. Question 1: Is it okay to run...

I guess the letter I recieved was what I needed. I scanned and sent it to GL and had my "PAID" invoice before close of business that day. I wish I would have done it a week ago when I first recieved the letter. :cry: Anyway, I can now go get my trucks!!! :D :D

I did recieve a letter from Fort Belvoir (Defense Logistics Agency) saying I had been "assessed" and reminded me of what I signed in section III of the EUC and my resposibilities, but nothing indicating I was "approved". Is this the letter I'm waiting on??? Thanks again. Kevin

I'm new here and still waiting on my first EUC for 2 M35s. GL says my EUC has been sent to "Battle Creek" Is that where the DRMS is??? Thanks. Kevin 1 - 1943 FORD GPW (WWII Jeep) 1 - 1943 MBT 2 - M35A2s (Just don't have them yet)
