September 12th, 2009. Dear Stumps: I must concur with M725 above, but permit me to opine that if you want a truck to blend in, buy a civillian truck. No matter what you do with a deuce and a half paintwise, everybody knows what it was (or is), and should the US ever be attacked by an outside...

September 9th, 2009. Dear Josh: As the SEE has a shorter wheelbase then a standard Unimog with a lot more overhanging weight.... I bet it did bounce. BUT they are faster then anything short of a HMME tractor, as they can do 40-45 MPH on the road. Usually SEE's are...

September 6th, 2009. Dear Doublevision: Whoever sells yu those gasoline engines is gonna really love the replacement business you're going to be giving him, as there has yet to be created a gasoline engine, small block or large, that could handle a deuce's weight...

September 5th, 2009. Jolly Roger: I don't think the comment above was a challenge as much as a statement. The dual or split systems were applied to the ESP (M35A3) trucks, and apparently there are few spares around for conversion. The 800 or 900 series used a similar...

August 30th, 2009.:-D Dear Fireman_316: I can understand why your chief wants the metal cab enclosure, cold weather, for the deuce, as its somewhat less flammable then the GMA top (soft), but when my deuce came from Bulldog_MAck13, it had the hard top, and if anything...

August 29th, 2009. Some guys have all the luck.......:-P, but most of yours were operator errors..... at least you made it home in one piece. The parking brake location does tend to be a problem.... the coffee holder should be replaced with a pair of M14/M16 holders... that way you...

August 28th, 2009. Why Jump? If you have fuel in the truck, the batteries are in the circuit, just put it in gear, and pull or push start..... it's a diesel, it won't care!2cents Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan

August 29th, 2009. It should be a nice ride when you're done, and you've saved a piece of WWII History.:not worthy: [thumbzup]Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan

August 21st, 2009. Verily I say unto thee, check David Doyle's Standard Catalog of Military Vehiles for the weight of the Ammo trailer, it's in the appendix for bridge markings, and yes, it does get a stencilled circle and number on the right corner of the body, front end right side...

August 21st, 2009. TigerHawk: Old man, if you wanted performance, you bought the wrong truck. If you wanted speed, you bought the wrong truck. The deuce uses a conservatively designed long stroke heavy diesel engine....it will do almost anything but take abuse. The problem you are having is...

August 21st, 2009. Dear David: Thanks for the insight, even though my deuce is a descendent of the Studebaker contract taken over by Kaiser Jeep (1971 M35A2Wo/W- LD465 NA Multifuel). Between you, I and the wall, I'm still waiting for your magnum opus on the G742 (M35)...

August 21st, 2009. I was sad to see Damon have to get rid of it, but I am glad you were fortunate enough to get the truck, it should be quite a ride, and guaranteed you can haul just about anything in it or on it.:-P It's just big enough to make us deuce owners pause (and hopefully the...

August 21st, 2009. In either case, I hope you get your truck asap, as some folks may think you're getting a little cranky.... kinda like Beetlejuice in the "Horny" scene! Having worked around a deuce dump truck with a "C" turbo, they can get annoying after a while....I'd opt for a "D"...

August 20th, 2009. There was an adapter made to hold the driver's end of the bench seat when a spring suspension drivers seat was installed. I'm pretty sure the members here can get you dimensions and drawings so you can fabricate one out of angle iron. Sometimes the GI's just cut away all but...

August 20th, 2009.:-D And the good news is...... They use the german folding cab paulin and probably the bed tarpaulins, last I checked you'll only be out about $2700.00 for cab and bed covers!:twisted: Change the gear oils and engine oil, and if you're gonna run them much get the pertronix...

August 19th, 2009. We old West Virginia hillbillies learned to fear any flat tire on a deuce for very good reasons. It would be illegal to use them (safety rim tires) on a modern truck, and many truck tire guys won't work on them for good reason. My money says demount the wheel, roll the spare...

August 19th, 2009. No doubt living here in Texas has its high points, I suspect all the local PD and State troopers know my M35A2 and Unimog,S404.114. Heck, I can't outrun anything, they're noisy and slow, and who else drives a desert tan deuce or a forest green Unimog???? The good...

August 13th, 2009. Boy, it seems to be the week for Duece Air Filter problems and questions......:twisted: You do know that most of the original filters (Air) used on the deuce were designed to be washed out and reused? The TM-10, 20's will tell you how as will the Preventative...

:-DAugust 13th, 2009. Jolly Roger: Between you, I and the wall, I'd hang on to your original air filter element, fy you check the 10 and 20 manuals for the deuce, you will find out that the original 410CFM filters were designed to be washed out and reused. There are sources for the correct...

August 10th, 2009. Dear Sir or Madame: Any chance I can get a copy of the Bill of Sale for an item I won in March 2008? It was from the Norman ,OK yard and was Sale 3263 Lot 6305 . The EMail address changed, but I believe the one on GL for me now is correct. I've been...
