    Who has the Highest Mileage Deuce?

    I know mine is off. I replaced the engine with another from a parts truck I had with no gauges. But I know I have put 10K on the truck itself in the 4 years I have had it.

    M1009 starter/electrical issues

    Ok, so here's the deal. A mechanic replaced what I am pretty sure was a 24 volt starter with a 12 volt starter but left the system 24 volts. Would that fry some other circuits or prvent the batterys from charging. or on the flip side he says it is a 12 volt system that had a 24 volt starter...

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    Sadly, its not just scuttlebutt. There are many, many incidents of LMTVs rolling every year and many fatalities and serious injurys as a result. The 5 ton version is much more stable.

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    I have known quite a few soldiers that have had to work on a broken down FMTVsin the field to get it running again, when you have no wrecker in the convoy and the brakes lock up in the middle of a town you don't have a choice but to get in the dirt and turn wrenches while others pull security...

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    Actually the cab is lifted by air. If the truck doesn't have any air pressure built up you have to jack it up from the control panel behind the cab.

    M43B1 Part-out and scrap or sell whole?

    Thanks PB. I am glad it will go to someone with the resources to restore this great vehicle, and not the scrapyard. When I got the M43 I had every intention of fixing it up. I had resources lined up and everything was moving along nicely. But sometimes things just fall through and don't work...

    I have a 1963 M43B1 that i have to get rid of pretty quick. I have the engine in pieces and i just needs a cleaning and new pistons to be running. Would it be easier to sell as a lot or scrap the body and sell of some usable parts (i.e. lights, alternator, starter etc.) any suggestions would be...

    Yet another horror story about Creekside (OH)

    If DRMO is scrapping brand new parts that are being turned in I do believe it can be reported through the waste, fraud and abuse hotline the government has. Just a thought.

    Weight restrictions crushing Dreams?

    When I moved from NC to GA I was overloaded by about 1,000 lbs. (had my M105 strapped down in the back and all my spare tires and excess gear.) It weighed in at 11,000 and I was towing my M1009. The only Leo that stopped me wanted to know if he could take a picture with my trucks. If you have...

    95% Legal Deuce in SOCAL

Then a month later I got a a voicemail that said that as of that call I was no longer insured by nationwide on any of my vehicles due to the size of the duece. They...
