Hey All, We bought an 86' M1008 CUCV about a month ago out in arizona. On our way back to the hotel we noticed that it shifted hard. Checked the fluid, it was a little low, topped it off, still shifted hard. So called the guy back up, he tried to say that it was "normal" for the CUCV to shift...

I've been reading about adding a battery kill switch for some time now, as I need to add one to our deuce. I have already purchased two heavy duty 24v battery kill switches. However, my questions/thought line on this is: The A2 deuce has 2/0 Battery Cable, Correct? I want to run new battery...

I've been reading up some about the Turbos, and I just need to confirm a few things. First, our deuce has a C-Type "whistler" turbo. Question: Can I replace this C-Type with a D-Type Turbo? I know I've read some threads, where members seem to state that they changed from one type to the...

Hi Everyone, I posted a photo of my C-Type (Whistler) Turbo, in my Deuce Recovery, and now "project" thread located here, with Original Photo of the Turbo also attached below. I'm getting this truck ready for long trips on the highway. So I'm trying to make any and all repairs and a few updates...

Hi Everyone! Been studying this site for a while now, reading up on "How To" articles and tons of other information. This is our first MV's and could really use some input and help. We need to get these trucks back up to full condition as we are going to need them soon when we are moving to...

Hey Everyone, I'm Short on time here. I'm in AZ to pick up an M1008 with a TH400 Trans. It has been completely redone, and the trans and transfer case just totally rebuilt. I'm having a problem with hard shifts and they are delayed between shifts by 3-4 secs. | I know these trucks may shift...

Hi, I'm new the M1008 trucks, know more about the Deuces..... Anyway, I'm looking at getting an 1986 M1008, and I wanted to ask about the Computers. Searched for a while now, and from what I have read, it does have an ECM for the engine. However, I'm not certain (if stock) that it has a...

Hey All, I'm going to pick up an A2 here in about a week from New Mexico. So I've got about a 1300 mile drive back. I'm 6'4 and about 280, and I was thinking if there was some quick and easy ways of making some leg room to operate the pedals? I have some ideas in mind once I get the truck back...

Hi... Its me again. Ok, I am planning on doing a full service tune up and maintenance work to the A3, once I get it here. I am purchasing two of all the filters, one to put on the truck and one to keep as a spare. Since I have always been one to use the best filters for any vehicle I have...

Hi All! I had seen a couple posts scattered here and there about insurance. But I thought I would start a thread just about Insurance for the Deuce. One thing this will do, is get everyone better informed. Who knows, you may be paying way to much $$$'s for your insurance, and someone may...

Hey All, After a lot of time thinking about what Truck to get, and hours of searching and waiting on auctions. We finally decided to bid on an decent looking 93' M35A3 w/w that was listed on GL. But when the dust settled, I got outbid.... But I'm Glad I got outbid this time! Because just a...

Does This Exist? Trying to Find Diesel Fuel Transfer/Lift Pump & a Portable Generator Hi All! I've been looking on GL a while for a Diesel Fuel Transfer/Lift Pump and a portable generator. But they don't ever seem to list to much info about these items in the description. I have tried to take...

This may be answered already somewhere, I searched but didn't find anything. Anyway, I noticed today that most of the MV/Deuce auctions all ended at the same time today, no matter what location they were at. Does GL also post the new MV auctions on a specific day of the week as well? Or is it...

GL in WI, KY, and OH - Do they allow you to drive off the lot? Hi All, Does anyone know if the GL location in Sparta Wisconsin allows you to drive a vehicle off the lot if you already have insurance? Or will they only allow you to load it up to take it out? If they won't allow me to drive it...

Hey all, I saw a truck the other day that I didn't know existed. It was the M36A3, this is the LWB (Long Wheel Base) version of the M35A3. Instead of a 12ft bed like on the M35, from what I have read the M36 has an 18ft bed. Does anyone know if the M36A3 is a rare variant? If so... How rare...

I was looking on GL and I don't see a shipper for Wisconsin. I was looking at an MV and at least giving it some thought. But if I can't find a shipper, I don't have anyway to transport. I tried google, but just come up with the civy vehicle shippers, and I doubt they will go onto a base to...

Hi, I have a quick question. I have never made a purchase from GL yet, but I am possibly considering a truck that is listed on there. But I have been reading the "Terms & Conditions" on the GL website, and something just doesn't make sense. TRANSFER OF TITLE TO VEHICLES: Government Liquidation...

Hi All, I'm going tomorrow to look at some deuces for sale at a "dealer" not to far from here. I guess you would call him a dealer at least, he has 17 or so Trucks. Plus he also rebuilds, customizes, sells tons of parts and other. Anyway, this will be my first time buying a deuce, which will...
