Success! I did try mixing the old fluid with the new, it turned a nice plum color and stayed that way. After bleeding I have a good firm brake pedal once again. Thanks to all who put their 2cents in. I truly appreciate the help. Now for a nice long test drive.

My 72 wo/w has high headlights and the heater intake in the flip down panel. Just curious, where would the heater intake be if it wasn't in the side panel?

Well, that's a relief. Thank you, sir.

I'm having trouble with my 1972 M35A2. It started with a major air leak that wouldn't let air pressure build past 60 psi at idle. I hooked up my shop compressor to the emergency glad hand and found air rushing out through the slobber tube vent. After doing some research I concluded that my air...

Welcome to the site! That's a good looking truck you have there. Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to reading more about it.

I'm having the same problem. Can't see the contestants pics. Other pics on the site work fine. :shrugs:

Tried to watch it, couldn't finish. Sad. Poor truck.

As I said, I didn't install my batteries i just measured what is on my truck. By all means go with what the manual says. Wasn't trying to give false info, just wanted to help.

I can't find it now, it might have sold? You could try posting a parts wanted ad. Good luck with your search.

Someone was selling a NOS front harness in the classifieds. I'll see if I can find it.

I measured mine just now. I've owned my truck less than a year, and I did not install my batteries, but mine are installed this way: Negative batt to frame rear of battery box is 28 inches. It bolts on where the ground cable for the slave port is. Pos batt to neg batt is 5 inches. The positive...

I'll measure mine tomorrow afternoon, if you haven't got the other lengths by then. Sorry to hear about the thieves.

There is a latch on each side of the hood, just like the ones that hold the hood closed on either front corner. It should hook onto the rod like so

Sounds good to me. Most of the videos I've seen posted here are youtube links, so I'm not sure how that would work.

Excellent. That should get me on the right track. And thanks for the breakdown of the TMs that will save me a lot of time (and paper).

Thank you, sir, for the quick response. I have downloaded most of the TMs, and printed them out. I use my phone for internet, so it was easier for me to have them in print. I have to admit I'm overwhelmed by the size of it all, and have a hard time finding the info I'm after. One day I plan to...

Welcome, from Alabama! This forum is a great place to be if you need advice, like to read about MVs, or just want to talk trucks. I got my 72 deuce this past March, and whether I'm driving it or turning wrenches on it I've enjoyed every minute of it. Glad you're here!

Hey yall. I need some info and advice. My Deuce shows symptoms of a bad air pack. I have the "long" pack. It won't build air pressure past 60 psi at idle. The brakes seem to be working fine and if I keep the rpms up, it will hold 120 with no problem. I hooked up my compressor through the...

Change the fluids, drop in an LDS, pressure wash it and ride :tank:

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Glad you're here. Just like Tim (Mullaney) said, there is a ton of great information here, and a lot of great people who are very willing to answer questions and give advice. Enjoy!
