    Added a resonator to my truck

    RE: Re: Resonator on M35A2 Hey Tom, the walker muffler doesn't increase the back pressure? That was my main concern with sticking with straight thru. My stack height is 11" higher than stock. I have a decibel meter at the shop, I ran it against the M35A2 with 1D motor just like mine and the...

    Tire chains

    Kublo in Brackney PA may have them. I have dual triples in 11.00x20 size in the crate available but for pickup only and I'm in Upstate NY. You get 6 singles out of 2 sets of triples and a lot of spare cross linls. The military cross links come off with out any chain tool and that makes it nice. JT

    t-case question

    So, you guys wonder if the old Deuce can push the plow and wing? Oh, it really does. It is singled, flipped rear hubs for in line tracking. Mud and snow tires, tire chains on front axle and front rear axle. Hydraulic power steering, live hydraulics of the front of the crank pulley. Body...

    Added a resonator to my truck

    Resonator on M35A2 I did some looking around and it was DynaMax. Here is a picture after I put it in the stack and after I put it on the truck. It has quieted it down a lot. The Resonator is really straight thru. 3.5" ID all the way top to bottom. No inside restriction at all.

    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    If you need more room behind the wheel, like I do, put in a box type driver's seat, or install an 800 series steering wheel which is a couple inches smaller diameter, helps if you have air assist power steering before you do this. Or if you want to spend no money, take some of the padding out of...

    WTB: Electric wiper motor kit

    RE: wipers I have a set on my M109A3 that will be going to Oregon with me this summer, They went on well, the wiper motor is quiet and powerful, the arms are VERY heavy duty and they take commercial bolt on blades from any truck shop or Napa store.

    Square nuts are Farm impliment machinery nuts. All the M135s and M211s I have seen in original condition have had hex nuts on the carrige bolts that hold the wood to the seat and back metal supports. I am an M35 guy, so please don't expect my post to be Gospel. JT out

    Reo 331 Gasser Deuce - What To Look For?

    Hey Ernie, How's the winter up there? The gasser should cost you about $350 to $750 without a back body and in turning over condition. With no winch and poor tires. The tuneup kits are available from Adirondackdodgeparts.com and Memphis Equipment. They are a real nice addition to anyone's...

    How to test if front axle is working

    I think your air valve on the transmission top cover may be sticky or dirty or plugged and is not sending the air to your transfer case to engage the sprag unit into forward or reverse position. You should hear a shush of air when you go from neutral to reverse. and another shush when you come...

    CUCV Winter Fronts

    Thanks for the info Mike, you know I know nothing about Cucv's. When I was loaned the NOS original, he asked me to duplicate it as best I could. I'll leave the spring loops there, just because they're there, but I read you , not neccessary, for it to work good. See you at Jim Thorpe.
