    Sue's hydraulic power steering in his M35A3

    It is a conventional power steering box with mechanical connection between input and output. So, yes.

    Blew out transmission maybe

    Well, you will have the tranny out. Unless your clutch is near new upon inspection, why would you not change it NOW? Unless you simply enjoy pulling the tranny. Same for rear main seal and housing. Now is the time to inspect for leaks and for housing mods done (drain holes on inside). If...

    Thread sealants

    I thought the reason was to make it as simple as possible and use parts that already exist on the truck, rather than introduce new (such as plugs).

    PROBLEMS with New basic Hard Top Overhead Console for M35 military vehicles from TMG

    Phew! I had considered the very same product but could not quite make sense of the pictures ("doesn't look like in my truck") so I held off. Gut feeling proved right this time.

    Is there an easier way to remove deuce hubs?

    I am working on gravel, too. A few ideas come to mind. You can make a "protector" for the spindle threads out of a short piece of PVC pipe. Cut that piece open lengthwise and remove a strip, leaving you with a 3/4 circle that you can snap over the spindle. Then you can pull the brake drum all...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Well, that's still over 500 miles per year! They do like to be taken out for exercise once in a while. What's an UOS gearbox?

    Could you post some pics of your setup? That is interesting.

    Highway handling

    FWIW, I replaced the dog bone ends with the Heim type joints (Erik's surplus) and the rear end is way less jumpy than it was with the rubber encased OEM type joints. I run 11.00-20 radials, at 65 psi in the rear. Here is the thread with a link to the "gringeltaube" mod...

    Tire options for m35a2- so lost

    I "commuted" in my Deuce a few times. From a rural area into the city, about 50 km (30 miles) one way. CAN it do it? Yes. Is it stressful? YES. First off, you are a slowpoke, no matter how you turn it. You are slower than most commuter (and commercial) traffic, everybody is in a hurry and...

    Deuce 4x4 with M105 reduced spring and air bag

    That trunnion is solid steel, I think! Yes, putting 2 or 3 conduits in the boxed frame sounds like a smart move to make future add-ons much easier.

    Pressure wash a fuel tank?

    I would pull the tank off the truck. It is easy to do. Disconnect the electrical connection, disconnect fuel supply and return line and vent line, remove two bolts from the tank straps and slide it out! I would take the fuel sending unit and the in-tank pump out. That gives you a big hole to...
