    M35A2 intermittent brake issues

    This happened to me on my Deuce several years ago, and it involved a small piece of something blocking the small relief (pinhole) in the master cylinder. I managed to get a welding torch tip cleaner into it to clear the blockage, but had to remove everything & flush the lines later to make sure...

    Thanks to Member SilverStates

    Least I could do since you went out of your way to get an accurate shipping quote on an oversize, heavy package...and then not ask for payment until it arrived! You’re a good man James, it’s the least I could do! Thanks again! (y)

    Another thanks to Simp

    Speaking of tires & wheels, he’s been doing quite a bit of good work researching which tires/wheels to use on my M870A1 that are ditching the spoke hubs for 8-lug hub pilots. He’s searched the nether reaches of the interwebs to find the right parts to swap on in place of the Daytons (seals...

    Hey Floridianson....Thank You!!!!

    Another big THANK YOU to James: I bought one of his newer Deuce head gasket kits (with the fire rings); James got me a shipping quote that was agreeable and he went ahead and shipped it to me before he even confirmed his email addy for payment....he said we’ll settle up after it arrives. (y)...

    Have you checked the oil cooler on the lower right side of the block (passenger side, towards front of block)?

    Aftermarket windshield frames

    Yes, I’ve had the same issues with aftermarket frames; I’ve had to disassemble and reuse the original hinge portion with the new side/lower frames. Otherwise I had the same problems you ran into.

    What are your experiences with GovPlanet?? Good or Bad

    I won a large tent out of the North Las Vegas warehouse back in November...paid for item and drove down from Utah to pick item up, only to be told that it couldn’t be found. Turns out it had been sold previously back in August, the previous owner let it go into Abandoned status, and when he...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    As others mentioned, use a putty knife to work your way all around the oil pan to break it loose gradually. Check the oil cooler seals as well to make sure no coolant is leaking into it...if you already have it apart, you might as well go through it all to prevent future repeats. Make sure you...

    Am General M920 tire sizing

    The only real issue you’ll have is fitting the 20-inch wheel over the front drums; the valve stem will interfere with the figment. You’ll either have to grind down the front drums or use a 22.5-inch wide flotation wheel with the valve stem mounted outboard.

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Have you run the part numbers (available in the -34P Special Tools & Parts List) through your interwebs search engine? Sometimes when researching part numbers I come across a few European sites that specialize in US MVs, and show parts in stock. Unfortunately I can’t remember what they were as...

    Good hitch for pulling non-military trailers.

    I don't think custom hitches for Deuces and 5-tons will ever be considered "beaten to death!" I like seeing the different designs, yours seems very well-built and looks fantastic. Be sure to post up pics of it in action with your dump trailer. Good job!
