I searched and couldn't find the answer for this. Having tested my wipers for the first time yesterday, I noticed a significant amount of air leaking around the gasket on the left side of the passenger wiper motor. After tightening down the 8 or so screws around the gasket, the wiper no longer...

First off, yes I did search. Couldn't find anything on the site or in the TM's. How much DOT 5 brake fluid do I need to bleed the brakes? I want to change out the old fluid for all new stuff. Since DOT 5 is expensive, I don't want to buy too much, but I want to have enough to get it changed...

My deuce came with a bridge place bracket, but no numbers. (See avatar) Can someone recommend a place to purchase a set of bridge plate numbers? From reading previous threads here, it looks like I need a set of 10 numbers. 5 on each side to keep them properly secured, or do I just need the 0 & 8...

I've been physically looking at my truck and TM's to no avail. I read that once the filters are replaced, I need to open a valve/petcock somewhere up near the engine to allow the in-tank fuel pump to prime the fuel lines. I can't for the life of me find this valve. Where should I be looking? A...

I have just finished buying everything I need to change the oil on my new (to me) deuce except for one thing. There have been references on this site about adding Slick 50 Turbo formula. I couldn't find Slick 50 Turbo formula at the local parts store. When I got home and googled it, I found out...

My truck arrived on Thursday. I've jumped in and out of it several times now. It seems the canvas seat cover on the driver's side is very brittle and tearing apart and the cushion is actually turning to powder. It's the weirdest thing. I guess the truck has spent too much time in the desert...

Noob question here, so excuse me if this is an ignorant post. I have got to learn about these trucks somehow. My M35A2 was delivered to my job site on Thursday via flatbed. It was in 6x6 low range when it was backed off the trailer. I put the truck in neutral, flipped off the air shift front...

Got my truck today! I was giving it an inspection before driving it home. While under the truck inspecting for leaks, I noticed my truck has 2 air tanks. There is no brake light on the instrument cluster and no electrical switch on the e-brake, but there is definitely two tanks. Plus there's a...

I recently purchased a deuce from GL, but haven't picked it up yet. Once it arrives, I'm a little concerned about theft. What do you do to secure an M35A2? I hear the government chains the steering wheels, but I'm not even sure how that works. Is it chained from the wheel to a bracket on the...

Does anyone know the overall height of an M35A2? The specs in the resources section say it's 112" or 81"when the windshield is down. That leads me to believe the official measurement is only from the top of the cab to the ground. Since the exhaust stack is higher than the cab I think 112" is not...

Seems like every time I post I get a message saying that I can't double post and posting will be allowed after 15 seconds or something to that effect. It's like the forum double posts every time I click submit. This happens only on this site. I've tried using different machines, both Windows...

Just bought a truck pretty much blind. It's located at the USPFO in Draper City South, Utah. Anyone else buy a truck there or live nearby? I'd like someone to eye it and check the brakes and make sure it starts. I would LOVE to do a road trip in it and drive it home. (about 850 miles) Another...

Every thread I post in is automatically subscribed to and I get emails informing me of new posts. This is nice sometimes, but I don't want that for every thread I post in. Is there a way to set the default to not subscribe to a thread? I for the life of me can't find the settings for this.

I'm still deuceless, but I have been looking at trucks. I notice people using the start/stop handle differently. One guy pulls it out to shut off the truck and leaves it out until he's ready to restart it. Another guy stops the truck and then pushes the handle back back to start position, but...

Will anyone be near Johnston Iowa to inspect some deuces at Camp Dodge on March 6th? PM me please! Also does anyone have storage facilities? I may need to leave a truck over there for a few weeks until I can arrange transport. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Is anyone going to preview the vehicles at Camp Pendlton in California for the March 3, 2009 auction? I would like to talk to you. Please PM me. Thanks!

Please excuse the noob question. I'm going to look at a deuce for sale this Sunday. It has a sprag front differential, which I've read can be trouble prone. How can I tell if it's working properly? I assume there is no lever to engage 6x6 mode like there is with the air shift trucks. It' just...

Hi all. Found this site after a recommendation from another forum. Looks like a very healthy and active place for all my deuce questions. I assume this is the proper forum to say hello. I'm 31 years old, male and a big car nut. I currently own a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, a 1999 Camaro Z28/B4C...
