    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    I have always gone the feel of the pants being equal to a 10% HP increase, meaning if your can actually feel a difference in driving the vehicle its at least a 10% increase in power. By changing the amount of air going into the turbo will you see that increase? I highly doubt it. The turbos...

    Try to weld in or patch over

    Ramdough if it were mine and because they are pretty ugly looking, looked like bolts that pulled through? I would pound them flat with hammer on both sides and cut steel patches and weld them in place then grind them flat and coat the patches with a light coat of bondo then sand and paint. My...

    Tachograph questions

    OK the TM for my truck shows how to change out the paper to put new paper into the unit but says nothing about running the unit with NO paper, I agree with the statement that its going to ruin the pencils/drawing device but in all seriousness I will never use it for graphing anything nor do I...

    Runaway Deuce engine

    Thanks guys for the info on this subject! Its also not that I expect it to have a problem its that I would like to minimize the possibility as much as possible to stop any issues before they start. The truck has always run extremely well and has been very well maintained. The last thing I...

    Blower/heater M1165

    Confirm in your TM that its a ground and you should be able to attach it to anything solid and close to the firewall, just make sure that whatever your attaching to is not rubber mounted.

    Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings and all pertaining to

    Hey guys pulling the hubs and inspecting the bearing on a Deuce is not a big deal at all, no need to worry about doing it. Two things I would do is watch a video on it on Utube then I would download the TMs for doing this and read through those to make sure you have all the tools, seals...

As most of your know this truck has the CAT 7155 airshift semi-automatic transmission in it and the trans has always worked great but it has never sat this length of...

    M37 Still Won’t Start – Not Sure What To Look At Next

    I had an M37 with problems very similar to what your experiencing and I went through the carb, point condenser and cap still no start. I talked to John at Midwest Military and he had me describe the type of coil in the truck and said they are BAD very unreliable so I bought a new coil from him...

    Options for higher top speed?

    All the 855 Cummins I have driven always seem to love the 1850 to 2000 RPM range, that what they were built for.

    Newbie here looking at a 1970 M35A2 have some questions

    I have read through all the responses concerning you wanting a Deuce, great trucks but things torched off, transfer cases making noises all of that sounds to me like the tip of the iceberg in whats truly going on with the truck! You are looking for a bug out vehicle or should we just say a...

    Is it true of all the slews of bugs that the deuce has?

    I am going to say NOT TRUE! I have owned a number of deuces over the years and this is how I handle a new to me Deuce. Get the TMs and maintenance TMs in your hands. Take the truck for a drive, listen, feel how the RPMs come up feel the clutch and how the transmission shifts, listen for...

    A legacy M37 recovered

    Ken one of the best write ups I have seen in a very long time! You have been bestowed an honor to get this 37 completed and back on the road for all parties concerned. It looks like an ominous task looking at all the parts but like you said take an inventory and make your lists 95% of the...
