They are very reliable if taken care of. Change all fluids in the truck when you get it including differentials, transfer case and transmission. If you drive them and run the engine, they are golden. What does damage is sitting for too long and the seals get dry and crack and cause problems...

When I bought my truck I had two batteries in it but they wont even crank over 6 times in this cold weather. I need to purchase new ones. The batteries are junk. I thinking two batteries with about 1000 CCA should be enough to get the truck turn over.

Well I got it to fire up. It must be the start button. If I use a wire and get the connections just right inside the plug (The plug that connects to the switch) it will fire. I am putting a meter on the start switch to see if it is getting a connection. If it doesn't get a connection its the...

Today I tried starting the truck to run it. I do this once a week to keep everything in check. We have had a cold spell lately so I plugged the truck in over night to make sure it would start easier today. I got in the truck as usual and Pulled the stop cock out, turn on the accessory switch...

Well for the CUCV maybe not, but for the Deuce, $250 for a pair of lights that will last you the rest of your life, increase the value of the vehicle, provide extra light, and increase saftey and visibility? It's worth the investment.

If you register the truck as a Historic Vehicle, you do not need a CDL.

Go to Rapcoparts.com and check out all their paints available. It's all oil based paint and its all matched and ready to go. Prices are decent and you can select from all different kinds of shades and different era paints used on military vehicles.

I have LEDs in my M35A2 and I can tell you they are worth every penny. They are much brighter and draw much less power from the alternator and give it a modern/scary look at night. Plus for an old truck, it really adds a lot of safety traveling at night.

Jatonka is working on them and they might be pricey at first but they will come down as they become more popular. You will notice a horsepower increase, on top of less tire wear, plus the mpg will increase. Thats a lot of extra weight that wont have to spin and should be worth it. Or just...

I live up in the mountains in PA and I can tell you to get a Frost Plug. It will work wonders on heating the entire motor. Stay away from oil pan heaters. They malfunction more than they serve a purpose and with the oil pan so large, you are heating a very small area and it will take very...

Thank you for the spec sheet. This helps a lot!

If the gauge is a problem, just replace with a new one. It shouldn't be a problem. Mine works great but in this cold weather, it has been sticking a little bit. If it continues to be a problem, I will replace it.

Amber also means caution and will not be used continuously. In fact, many trucks and vehicles have amber lights for turn signals instead of red. Secondly, it will only be used when there is nasty weather. Whether it be a snow storm or heavy fog. If an officer wants to pull me over in the...

Why can't you just ground it to a good bolt? It has to be the battery?

Thank you. It works very nicely. Stick with LEDs. Its more expensive but they last and have a great look. I have all LEDs for lights except turn signals. They are next. They make the truck look more aggressive. At least Thats my take. But they also draw less current which is a benefit.

Both lights are in the same location. The back up light is larger so it looks like it sits lower.

Since June, my father and I have been restoring a M35A2. I have seen posts on here about people adding backup lights for visibility backing up at night. I decided to use LED lights for the better light quality and less draw on the alternator. I used a 27 Watt off road light from superbrightleds...

What you need is a HET so it faces directly towards their house so no fence can stop them from seeing a massive camo military truck.

Same truck, longer bed. Harder to park and turn around. Unless you need the extra length, go with an M35A2 and a M105A1.

This is a beautiful build by the way. How did you start restoring tanks? Were you a mechanic in the military?
