February 1st, 2008. CORRECTION: 7 to 11 Ton Locomotive with a 0 to 57 MPH Speed Range. Sincerely, Kyle F. McGrogan

February 1st, 2008. At least the discussion has begun. While I can see the liability issues, If the U.S. Air Force M35's has a dual system originially, or gained it in the ESP rebuild, how hard would it be to duplicate the system parts or adapt Civillian heavy truck master cylinders to the...

:twisted: January 31st, 2008. Gentlemen and ladies: I desire to place before the group of M35/M818 owners the following questions: 1. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO COME UP WITH A SUBSTANTIAL, HEAVY DUTY REPLACEMENT or a NEWLY ENGINEERED MASTER CYLINDER TO SPLIT THE BRAKES...

:?: :twisted: :arrow: January 30th, 2008. SEE ARTICLE ON M105 LOADOUT BELOW: In regards to the M35 series not having a split brake system on the air over hydraulic brakes- ISN'T IT TIME WE RECONSIDER REENGINEERING THE MASTER CYLINDER TO SPLIT THE SYSTEM? The...

January 29th, 2008. I guess my deuce just likes to slobber out the slobber pipe when Idleing for more then 5 minutes- being as she's normally aspirated, she also does it a little after being run hard without idleing her down, I'll have to check her for the drain plug boss. I know her...

January 29th, 2008. Dear Mr. Barrman: One correction to my Post above, item No.3, there are two roundhead rivets through the "Service" and "Emergency" tag plates, and the 45* clip runs in about 1-1/4" inch both vertically and horizontally. Mine has two composites...

January 27th, 2008. Dear Capt. Marion: If you read the -10 operators manual for the M44 series, you will find that the Multifuel engine was and is very sensitive to overspeeding, and the manual specifically states that the engine is not used to hold or slow the truck without...

January 27th, 2008. Dear Sir: I would suggest getting the shop manual for your truck from the Mercedes dealer, as I did not know Uncle Sam had the U500's. I would direct you towards Mr. Michael Smith at United Parts Service (Unipaser) in Palo Alto, CA, as he has been a...

January 27th, 2008. Gentlemen: For those of us that have the TM's on CD and do rather better with paper manuals, How does one change the switch out on the Brake Master Cylineder setup on the M35A2? My truck apparently hasn't had a failure there (yet), but the...

January 27th, 2008. The concept of water injection into the cylinders isn't new, it was used during WWII on US Fighters and bomber enginers to reach what was called"War Emergency Power", the theory was that it would flash over to steam and increase the power output for a very short...

RE: This works January 27th, 2008. KEEP AN EYE OUT ON EBAY- There's a guy out in Washington State that has NOS Cylinder sleeve puller kits from Uncle Sam for the Multifuel, I got the complete set and box back in December for $9.95 plus shipping ($30.00!!!! due to weight). I might...

January 27th, 2008. I have most likely a normally aspirated M35A2, as the exhaust drops straight to the "J" pipe, and permit me to say that in any case, your neighbors are going to know you have a deuce when you fire it up, and when you move it, the normally aspirated's can bark pretty...

January 27th, 2008. Dear Mr. Barrman: Your photo above of the taillight/glad hand mounting caused me to go out and look at "Saddam's Nightmare" mountings, and on a 1971 Kaiser Jeep M35A2, here's the differences: 1. tail light bracket more rectangular, with 45* clipped at...

January 27th, 2008. "SADDAM'S NIGHTMARE" PART 4(?) Its up to the low 30's in the mornings and the mid 50's during the day, "Saddam's Nightmare" cranked over in less then 1 revolution & brought me to work today! The batteries seem to work above the mid-20's, and while I noticed the...

January 25th, 2008. Saddam's Nightmare decided when it hit 30*F the other day to start on the second revolution without me doing anything!!! I still think the batteries are marginal, but it's been so cold and icy here that I've decided to let her sit untill tomorrow or Sunday when the...

January 25th, 2008. Again I have to applaud the collective genius of this group, more particurly permit me to thank Bjorn over in Virginia for the great photos, and the gentleman at offroadfabworks for the written instructions above. The deuce always had a reputation in the mountains of...

:?: :P January 25th, 2008. Gentlemen: Regarding Cold Weather Starts on "Saddam's Nightmare" The Darned Deuce is starting again when above 25*F and running well, so I still have to check the batteries anyway! The question for today is: MY having used search and having not...

January 25th, 2008. I'm not sure that my two cents counts, but I'd suggest checking Nationwide Mutual/Colonial County Insurance Co, out of CAnton, OH, as they insure my M35A2 as a non-commercial pickup truck with regular plates at $197.00 every six months. They know what the vehicle...

January 20th, 2008. Gentlemen: Forgive me my two cents worth, but I do have to concur with Mr. Doyle above in regards to the GL advertisements. The UNFORTUNATE FACT IS--- IT TAKES MONEY TO BUILD THE PLAYHOUSE, and for us, I 'd rather have the Steel Soldiers site available...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Unimog SEE at GSA January 20th, 2008. Interesting comment about the stability of an SEE a few posts up, given that the base vehicle was a Unimog, I can only suspect too much top end weight in the form of the backhoes created the questionnable handlng. I would...
