    MV of the month April 2024

    I'll go first!!! What you're seeing is one of the happiest M35A2's in existence! 1969 Kaiser Jeep, factory hardtop, rocket starter, and water heat system installed and intact! She's crusty, rusty, banged bruised and beat up, but who couldn't love that smile?

    Piston

    To my knowledge they aren't interchangeable, there's a difference in the shape of the piston tops that doesn't allow the LDS pistons in the LDT. Of course I haven't had one apart, so I'm just going on what I've read. Very curious though, as I have also read that late model LDTs are just LDT...

    M923A2 high EGT fix!

    That 100 percent sounds like an exhaust leak at the manifold to me, if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it's between cylinders 2 and 3.

    5 ton grease zerks

    I think we might need some pics to diagnose the problem correctly, of the zerks and the gun chuck.

    I am baffled!

    Maybe @Retiredwarhorses can shed some light on this, if anyone aside from everyone already on this thread is going to know or have experience with an oddball HMMWV issue like this I think it'd be him. I would try the washer thing mentioned earlier myself, seems the simplest place to start.

    Webasto Heater?

    So after a very confusing time on Google, my hypothesis is you have a wabasto water/coolant heater, A/C units seem to have the condenser and lines next to the cylinder. On the back side, there should be a "water manifold" with in/out ports where the coolant lines should be run. From what I...

    Does anyone "float the gears" when shifting M39/M809?

    I was curious about this as well, more so for the M35 but still, I'll have a 5 ton some day and it would be nice to know. Also if OP doesn't mind my asking here, what's your opinion on "free wheeling"? I was raised to always let the vehicle coast in neutral (with manual transmission) while...

    Turbo vs no turbo

    From what I understand, there's only a performance difference when you turn the fuel up and dial the truck in, factory army tune is 5psi, air force/navy tune is 7psi (not sure why they're different). When tuned properly to 12psi, there is a very noticeable difference, although exhaust temp will...

    Deuce Wiring

    You got it, and as expected when the switch is flipped a two ton acme anvil flops out of the bed and bam, problem solved 😂.

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    That's got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. If I had to take a guess, I'd say one port on the wheel is fill, the other is drain, definitely wouldn't be putting fuel in it, if the outsides are that bad one can only imagine what the bladders on the inside look like. Maybe @Guyfang...

    Deuce Wiring

    Food for thought, you could wire one of these style panels in easily, the buttons under the switches are circuit breakers, so each switch has its own, and the switches are 12v and 24v capable. Marine grade, so water proof, uv resistant, etc. Not the cheapest route, but one of the safest.

    MI How I did it

    All is still well, ended up getting a commercial plate for private use so no DOT numbers. Called the insurance company after the plate and title were done to verify there wouldn't be an issue between insurance and plate and everything's in the green. The plate was not cheap, but worth it since...

    Purchasing my first Deuce

    Glad it made it home fine. I agree, the pulling to the right issue is due to no 5 ton buddy, mine started pulling to the left because she wants a 10 ton wrecker buddy.... Picky picky girl. Now you've just gotta learn the quirks and keep her happy, and remember always, there isn't or won't be an...

    Purchasing my first Deuce

    We did it again, answered the questions without asking the important ones, the most important of which are how much maintenance has the truck received in those ~30k miles and how long has it been sitting? Also as stated, definitely have the guy who has it take you for a ride in it. If he's...

    Purchasing my first Deuce

    First, check your road time again, if it's four hours by normal car, it's closer to six hours by deuce. Second, as mentioned, brakes and tires are most crucial, followed by leaks. Make frequent stops and check hub/wheel temps either by hand or with an infrared thermometer. Keep an eye on your...

    Called TNJ Murray in Delaware and alerted them to the address theft. They were unaware and very appreciative. Squawkheads days are numbered, and the number is today.
