    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.

    Mmmmk so its a Google phone number where when you call you're required to state your name before it will ring. This is voice analysis software. We are not dealing with a people, this is a bot. Pretty sure the email address will confirm that, the words AI man are in it..... Reporting to Gmail for...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Well, positive side is at least you now have the problem narrowed. Hopefully it's just a clogged nozzle or two.

    You guys do realize most of these scammers are in the states using voice over to make them sound the way they sound right? Proxy's, RAS's, TTS and a general disregard for them is what keeps them successful. My point here was not to physically "catch" the scammer, but to raise awareness to the...

    I believe that, just as much as I believe if someone had a place to ask beforehand, they might. In either case, it would create a place to compile a list of known scammers and contact those who's identities and/or phone numbers they have stolen, exactly how those in this thread did. Scammers...

    We should make this thread a sticky and every time someone finds a questionable seller or listing, post it here and let us have at them. Or maybe make a section titled "questionable sellers" or something. Would definitely aid in the "taking care of each other" department.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    It should without fail, the ip has enough suck to start and run the truck without a pump. I have done this many times in marine applications, fuel line directly to carb/ip on one end, a nice 5gal can of fuel on the other. I see no reason this would be different, just make sure you use a big...

    A couple of questions about power.

    Which engine/aspiration are we talking about?

    MV of the Month February 2024 Nomination Thread Everybody is welcome!

    It's all good man, thank you for everything you do for us! I would say the term "slacking" may be a little harsh for your situation, "overwhelmed" fits better IMHO. I pray everything calms down for you with the in-laws, and the site, and I hope you know how appreciated you are here. Keep on...

    Hydraulic Head Rebuild

    Fantastic!! Thank you for the additional advice, it seems to only leak where the lines actually plug into the top, I checked the crankcase oil and it is free from fuel. The green in the attached pic is an attempt to show where the pooling is, I'm hoping like cattlerepairman said, it's a...

    M35a2 engine

    I second the 12v Cummins for reliability. It's capable of overkill power for the chassis and the swap is widely covered, plus parts are plentiful and it's multifuel capable. There's so many ways to repower these things it's ridiculous, there's a guy on here who has the engine behind the cab on a...

    M35a2 engine

    I would say do it then. It's a very straightforward chassis, I love mine. You'll hear arguments for and against every engine swap, end of the day, pick what you like and run it, we'll all love it, as long as there's pics 😉 I agree, a CAT powered A2 would be pretty cool.

    M35a2 engine

    M35A2s are multi fuel powered, not cat powered, that's the M35A3. Way too many variables to take a guess as to what you "should" do, such as your background with fabrication and mechanical inclination, as well as your ability to read a technical manual and follow the steps to complete the task...

    The Southeast Military Vehicle Rally needs a new leader. Read within.

    What are the odds of doing the job remotely? I have organized events, done fundraising, car shows.... You name it, if it's marketing or PR related, I've dealt with it. I would hate to see something so iconic die simply because no one has the time or energy to put forward, problem is I'm roughly...
