Somewhere out there is a man driving a Ferrari who is down about his life. But you will never find an unhappy person behind the wheel of a deuce and a half, because there is no such thing as a person who can be unhappy while driving a deuce and a half.
Gray Man first of all where I'm from 6 inches of snow wouldn't stop anybody driving anywhere no matter what they had for a vehicle secondly and more importantly if I had that truck I would drive it everyday lol
RB_Nugget Mr. Trump successfully had North Korea's Kim Jong Un to sign a denuclearization accord, and got the Stock market back after your man crush obama sunk it. What your obama do? Make healthcare unaffordable and gay marriage.
Could easily be done in any 4x4 vehicle. But why didn't this guy do that? BECAUSE HE'S GOT A M35, THAT'S WHY! If I had one I'd drive it every time I had the chance!! 2" of snow? DRIVING THE M35. Sunny and 75? DRIVING THE M35.
Seth, I drove a deuce MANY times while in the service, as well as the old 51A2 dump trucks. I sure do miss them and the beautiful sound of the whistler turbo! Thank you very much for sharing your commute!! Your wife is very pretty, too!
After I stopped laughing about the fact that everything was closed down with 6" of snow, it turned out to be a pretty cool vid. Cheers from northwestern Ontario bud
RUclipsr Nick Murry drives his 911 C4 during New England winters... at first I thought this must be Georgia or something to be closed with 6" of snow.. Cheers from Mid-Michigan!
6" of snow shuts everything down lol. Up in my neck of the woods (Tug Hill region of upstate ny)...the kids still have school when we get 12" & the roads arent closed down until we've got 24" plus on them.
I know where you live 6 inches of snow is a lot. I live in northeastern Ohio in the snowbelt where our average snowfall is 120 inches a year, you should be here when we have one snow storm that dumps 12-18 inches of snow. Sometimes in mind blowing to see these huge piles of snow. Love your truck, always loved the deuce and a half especially with the dual wheels in the back. Really nice you drive your wife to work. Take care.
Two things that will shorten the life of your diesel. Using ether to cold start and letting it idle slow. Ether fires the cylinder before the timing which is damaging. Try plugging it in or use synthetic oil in winter. Cycle glow plugs longer if you have them. Slow idle wears out your engine through low oil pressure and as you saw it did not warm up the engine. Once a diesel is started idle it above 1100 rpm. This is from Canada where we often start our diesels below -40 .
Hank Henry Yeah but the m35a2 is not a Diesel engine. It is a multi-fuel engine. It has no glow plugs. Just a super high compression ratio. It can run Diesel fuel of course, JP8, kerosene’s, jet fuel, peanut oil, vegetable oil, cooking oil, marine fuel, filtered used oil from like a car, one guy even said he used hydraulic oil in it, and can even run gasoline. Of course it runs best off straight diesel. If you run gas, it will do it but it won’t lubricate the injectors so it best to mix a little oil with the gas and run like a 2 stroke mix. If you are running heavy thick oils, it can do it but it will wear out the fuel pump but if that wears out the injectors actually have enough pull to pull fuel out of the tank without the pump but then that is hard on the injectors so it best to water down the thick oil with either gas or diesel. Basically my point is that this engine isn’t a normal engine. If it can run off straight oil and be fine I don’t think it really cares if you put ether in it. And it doesn’t have glow plugs because glow plugs and some fuels don’t mix. Like squirting gasoline in a cylinder heated by a super hot glow plug would not turn out really well. Also if it can adjust its timing to different fuels. I wouldn’t worry about a timing problem. Also this has 6 gallons of oil, it’s going to take a while to warm up, even if you used the idle holder to keep rpms up. Actually I surprise this deuce run fine after starting without help from the idle holder. That means this deuce is a very heathy deuce.
that was pretty cool, i live in Drexel,nc and it's always nice to see the town break out their duece and a half just to tool around town in the snow (whenever it snows)
Drove the 2 1/2's and 5-tons in the 'official capacity' and this is just a memory except you had a pretty girl and I always had ugly G.I's. Probably a Continental multi-fuel. Tough old rigs.
I live in Gaston county in NC not far from you I think. We have had a pretty strange winter this year. Hot....cold.....hot....cold. Reminds me of my X-wife. Last few days been down in 20s F at night but no snow yet. Unfortunately the heater blower motor on my 1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager Minivan does not work so it gets pretty cold in there.
greg h I agree. However, southern states have no plows and salt to clear the roads, and most southerners are inexperienced driving on ice and snow. My family down in Florida has to shuttle the neighbors to work when the roads freeze (in the panhandle it is common). I live in Ct tho.
Zergling ... That happens here in Virginia Beach VA. I would rather drive my Freightliner Columbia, but not enough weight on the drive Axel's. M35 is all wheel drive. I'd have a grin on my face from ear to ear while driving a deuce and a half.
What a good idea!! I'll go to my wife: Hey honey, let me get one of them old army truck, so I can drive you to work a snowy day :-) That would do it! thanks man for posting!
Don't get me wrong, awesome vehicle. I remember my dad being a little upset with me one time when I was a kid. I preferred to ride with his workman than with him. Well, I had one of two choices, ride in the car with him or in the semi. As a kid, which would you choose? The deuce is great. In snow or mud, I would choose my Jeep every time now. I learned that the hard way. I got stuck in the snow. Not 6". used the winch on an old battery. Wife stalled the jeep and not enough juice to restart it. After a good hike and a few phone calls got a 4X4 wrecker to rescue us. The wrecker was a F-350. Reported to me as 6 ton. 1/4 way up he chained up the rears. 1/2 up he chained up the fronts. On the trip up, he asked me if I had chains, I said no. The whole time up I wondered if it was going to make it. Mind you, this wrecker did not have street tires on it. They were mud and snow. Long story short. We made it just to find that my wife got the Jeep started and unstuck. She tried to disconnect the winch cable but was unable to because the snow was waist deep on her. Short end, big and heavy is not good in snow. That was my $600.00 taxi ride and lesson.
Holy shit there is a HESS gas station?! Being born and raised in tx iv never seen one. I have 2 old replica tanker trucks from the 80s from my dad though. May be worth something one day
This would have been REALLY impressive if it showed our driver, after dropping off the little lady for work, driving back home and getting back into bed, LOL.
6" inches of snow? What did I miss, Hell, she could of rode a bicycle to work in that weather. Besides, I would've had her call in sick and played with her all day.
Btw its not a oh my god bar its the oh shit bar good vid though also your wife is right mc donalds is never closed there was a tornado warning on the radio and people were taking shelter and the second the warning was lifted we went straight to mc donalds and it was open
Hell yes one of the greatest Jeeps too have ever been built. I'm looking to buy one right now, plus i would take my wife to work to in it lol it sows my Jeep is tougher than your Toyota!! lol
I imagine driving your deuce in 6 inches of snow is pretty much just like driving your deuce in 16 inches of snow.... a little slipper, but easily managed.
Gee, we've usually got to get at least two feet of snow overnight for stuff to start shutting down here. Nevertheless, I still love this video. My neighbor has had a Deuce that I've always wanted to buy sitting in his front yard for years and years. But unfortunately he's one of those old guys that refuses to sell anything because he thinks he's gonna "fix it up someday." So if I ever want that truck I'll most likely have to wait until he dies and his kids come to clear out the stuff.
Love the video, Mr. Nagy, bet your wife brags to her other friends, " your husband a girly man sack that drives a prius ? Guess what my husband drives!"
@Tadpole317 It is really just a reminder to me that I'm not on the German Autobahn any more. Sometimes I forget I'm in North Carolina were the maximum speed limit, even on our inter-state highway system, is a pitiful 70 mph, or 112 Km/h. There are not too many vehicles that can accelerate like a Deuce . . . and I'm not even going to expound on its handling characteristics!
you don't need a cdl unless you are carrying more than 26,000 lb and the M35a2 is only rated for 10,000 so you would not be required to have a cdl to drive it
6 inches of snow here is no big deal. Most anyone with a front wheel drive SUV or a 2WD pickup with chains easily manages driving in it. I can understand though people in the south considering 6 inches a big deal, as they're not used to it.
Somewhere out there is a man driving a Ferrari who is down about his life. But you will never find an unhappy person behind the wheel of a deuce and a half, because there is no such thing as a person who can be unhappy while driving a deuce and a half.
Oh My GOD I could not agree more XD lol.... Put me behind a wheel of a Deuce and a half and im smiling
till its broken :(
inurtrash Parts are easy to find for this.
Ed Gruberman well said man
Laws of physics lol
To those complaining that you don't need a deuce to drive in 6 inches of snow... Ur missing the point of this video lol.
Gray Man first of all where I'm from 6 inches of snow wouldn't stop anybody driving anywhere no matter what they had for a vehicle secondly and more importantly if I had that truck I would drive it everyday lol
Flordians seem to think you need a deuce to drive in northern winters
The college kids here don't know how to stop when there's 2in of snow. I'd hate to see what would happen if they were driving a deuce.
Any excuse to drive a deuce and a half is a good excuse
Cool truck, beautiful wife, life is good.
RB_Nugget Mr. Trump successfully had North Korea's Kim Jong Un to sign a denuclearization accord, and got the Stock market back after your man crush obama sunk it. What your obama do? Make healthcare unaffordable and gay marriage.
trangia94534 couldn't agree more! Happy wife, happy life!
Every mans dream.... an excuse so that his wife finally lets you drive your Deuce and a half im sure 6 inches of snow helped
Man I need one of these. usually get around 24+ inches in one night here in ND
But in n dakota no moisture so u can drive thru 4 foot of power sno i dun it not in 6x6 either .
@@jasonconklin8172 no the last few years moisture has been high. I'm usually stuck at my house for 3-4 days until plows get to my end of town.
Could easily be done in any 4x4 vehicle. But why didn't this guy do that? BECAUSE HE'S GOT A M35, THAT'S WHY! If I had one I'd drive it every time I had the chance!! 2" of snow? DRIVING THE M35. Sunny and 75? DRIVING THE M35.
+uncleben03 Stuck in a jam in Traffic? DRIVE THE M35
+soundlessleaf80 with a m35 traffic is just called a speed bump
Toe ofawesome lol
uncleben03 I would drive it every day but mine would be a 5 ton and I would tune it so it roles a lot of coal on demand
Those things are a pain in the ass. A duece, IMHO, is too big, but not WAY too big... a five ton... too heavy for a lot of roads.
dosent matter how much snow or not it's just a dam good reason to drive his big toy 😁 my compliments sir
Your wife is a great sport, you two are gonna have a lot of fun with that thing when your old enough to retire!
Your wife is so cool! I think everyman in America needs a woman like her. Wish I had one like her in my Deuce.
Seth, I drove a deuce MANY times while in the service, as well as the old 51A2 dump trucks. I sure do miss them and the beautiful sound of the whistler turbo! Thank you very much for sharing your commute!! Your wife is very pretty, too!
Thanks so much for the reply and thank you for your service to this great country.
I need one of these for reasons.

Yup, many reasons.

The safest way to drive your wife to work.
Amazing piece of machinery- and the truck is nice too
I miss driving those. US Army
Thank you for serving your Country.

What a sweet man wife is very pretty love the truck
Just something so awesome about driving huge trucks. I would love to show up at work in a deuce.
Your wife is a very lucky woman

you have a cool wife, dude. Lucky guy you are.!
Amazing! What a great husband
Se camion formidable braveaux les américains 👏👏👏
Wish i had one of those this winter when we had over a foot and half fall.
She is thrilled haha. Probably has a Subaru Legacy just out of frame but gotta let honey drive me to work in the deuce today.
I need one of these...maybe 2 :)
Or 5
Maybe 6
Or 100
Or 101
This is the vintage I was introduced to as a young private back in the 70's.
Thanks for your service! I still have the truck.
very nice truck man... glad to see shes well taken care of... im hoping to get one within the next few months to a year... hopefully...
Nice deuce love them videos
That trucks been thru enough no more either you'll score the cylinder walls looks good tho! I like it
6 Inches of snow closed every thing? that's sad

Amazing it still cranks right up like that.
HAHA THIS IS SO TOUGH, you my friend are a boss :)
What a good idea!! I'll go to my wife: Hey honey, let me get one of them old army truck, so I can drive you to work a snowy day :-) That would do it! thanks man for posting!
Not hearing the low air horn when you cold start - life hack
It looks like it is in great shape.
6" of snow and you need a Deuce? Hell, thats nothing. Come up to Canada... :) Nice Deuce...I hope to own one some day.

You still have the chain. That is the first thing I noticed. Nice truck.
Nice wife,she looked happy,maybe let her drive home.
nice sound to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I can entertain you.
wish you had twistling turbo... that would be a morning ride!!!!

love the engine sound..
6" of snow!? ROLF! what would ever happen if you got a real winter?
Southern people be like I need a Deuce and a half for 6inches of snow. Us northern folks be like give me a smart car will be fine.
I gotta get me one of these in the future lol
Wow. What are the chances I know exactly where this is? Im not even from there. I just did an out of state job. Thats so crazy!
lol close, we called it the "oh Shit handle" not the "oh my god bar" lol. nice truck and a great wife shes a sport.
So, you drive a jacked up 4x4 with big mudders? That's cute.😋
It’s Really a 6x6 it’s 6 wheel drive when needed
@behindeverybush1 Glad she is coming around. Hope you are enjoying your deuce as much as I am.
I want one
When faced with a question, just simply answer Duece in a half.

Gotta love that Deuce!
I remember that snow. I live in Lenoir to ha ha
these are just way to cool
I liked my 5 ton better. It had power steering. Deuce and a half’s were known to break thumbs on the rookies when off road.
I drove the M929 w/o winch. 6×6. Was a good riding machine
Love it I drove my Humvee in 2 inches of snow 😬
might be bad winter this year they say-better get that thing ready just incase
RE-L Mayer my fingers are crossed we'll get some snow this year.
cool truck. there is one near me for sale. Just appeared recently. don't know where it came from....
All that fuss over 6" of snow?!?!
I delivered the morning papers through about 12" the other day.

@deweys D.R.M.O. sells to government agencies only. You have to get surplus equipment through the GLA.
i dont blame her. i hate driving in the winter time amongst idiots too!
Nice old Truck. Runs god..
great man!
HEY!! thats lenoir,nc and you passed near my house
I have several military trucks I live in the northeast everybody says they will drive it everyday yeah right it’s fun in fair weather that’s it .
lol, dang it the roads are clean.
you don't need a cdl unless you are carrying more than 26,000 lb and the M35a2 is only rated for 10,000 so you would not be required to have a cdl to drive it
Buy a chevy astro, then you have a perfect set. The deuce and a tank.
ROTFLOL!!! thats classy right there
cool rig cheers
@goldcoastflyer The M35A2 is a fun vehicle to drive. They seem to range from around $2500 - $10,000.
