    Power steering woes

    I replaced all of my p/s hoses & connections, completely flushed system and filled with p/s fluid. Works great. Kept having leaks around pump & reservoir; took reservoir apart 3 times and installed new O-rings, finally I thoroughly cleaned mating surfaces of pump & reservoir for a thin coating...

    MRAP air leak

    This is pretty telling to me; been there, done that. I added extra silicone grease (or any grease that is compatible with your wheel O-rings) all around the O-ring and put a thin coating on the inside mating surfaces of one problem wheel I have....it worked! Could be that when you...

    Removing Wheel/Tire from m35a2?

    I secured a 7-in grinder in my vise, and marked on the race where it needed to be ground down to...then carefully ground the races down to the required height, as marked/scored on the race prior to grinding. Seems to have worked, as I've done 4 complete sets of hubs on Deuces since then and...

    FMTV legality issue?

    Nevada will process an SF-97 as long as there is no more than ONE (1) re-assignment, and everything is notarized. I've had several people locally contact me about getting a vehicle titled with an SF-97 that was re-assigned to person they bought vehicle from...I had to tell them to have the...

    FMTV legality issue?

    I've had very good experiences at both the East Sahara office as well as the North Decatur office. Only once have I had to get a supervisor involved, that was because the clerk helping me had added an extra digit to the VIN & had to get the title re-issued. Another time, when titling a 1960...

    Sorry William, haven't been into my rear hubs so I couldn't tell you for sure.

    FMTV legality issue?

    ???? Sorry, just saw this. That clerk was in error; the email was most likely meant for HMMWVs. Did you ask to see a copy of the email? Did you ask for a supervisor to come over and explain the details of the supposed email? Which DMV office did you go to? Only HMMWVs are supposed to be...

    Removing Wheel/Tire from m35a2?

    All excellent posts here; you'll know when you remove the wheels/tires if you need seals for sure; if there is crusty/greasy/oily buildup on the outside of the drum/hub, that is a dead giveaway to replace seals & rebuild wheel cylinder. I'm going through an older Deuce now, and am on the last...

    Removing Wheel/Tire from m35a2?

    Easy rule of thumb when it comes to removing RH/LH threaded nuts & thimbles (aka Budd style): no matter which side you're on, they will always tighten towards the front of the vehicle and loosen to the rear.

    M923a2 exhaust manifold bolt question

    I get to do this as well, glad to hear that others have had this same problem & found solutions. I plan on getting my exhaust manifold ceramic-coated (had my M35 D-turbo done, looks GREAT), should be able to start in the next month or two. Thanks to everyone for the helpful info!! [thumbzup]

    Re: Optima Battery Woes

    I quit using Optima batteries about 6 - 7 years ago; several battery dealers told me that once Optima switched production to Mexico, failure rates & warranty claims on Optima products skyrocketed. One dealer showed me a rack of dozens of new Optimas that were awaiting return under warranty...

    Thoughts on this M1028A2

    If it's not a head gasket issue, try draining the coolant and replace with water & Cascade dish soap...run it around to get it warm, then drain & flush it out. I like to follow this up with water & white vinegar afterwards, to knock out the rust/scale/gunk. Full flush and refill with new...

    M35a2 flasher problem

    And this is just what I did with excellent results. The newer flasher units seem weaker than the older units, and I got tired of throwing money at a recurring problem. so I took one of my old non-op flasher units, used a milling bit in my cordless drill and removed the potting compound. Once...
