thanks so much. I did get it started this morning. I cracked the fuel housing and filled it up over the edge and sealed it shut , primed it again and it cranked right up.

priming the pump afterwards , I am getting fuel to the injectors where I opened the line to prime to. Know any tricks I can try?

My M35A2C is a '87 Air Force model, and my starter switch is the pn 12375615 (also used on M35A3). I guess I don't have a fuel pressure switch. Anyway, I'm having a start issue, and I was wondering if there is another wiring schematic for the Air Force Deuce like mine.

so I took the pump off and assessed what I needed that I did'nt have in my kit. Sent that request to MRO, ate lunch and injured my right hand. So I'll heal while I'm waiting for that to arrive. I appreciate the help so much. I feel more certain about it coming togeather now. I'll be back on it soon.

I'm sure there's no fluid in the hand pump reservoir. This certainly helps , and I have to pull the air/hydraulic power unit and redo it with the right stuff. The rubber bumper washer feels like something left out. I'll follow this fix list I have. Tomorrow I'll pull it.

I'm at total failure with my hydraulics. I rebuilt my air/hydraulic power unit, and now in review of this, I see an error I made, so I'll take it apart and start over. I have a '95 M1078 , and I don't think I have the hydraulic filter on my truck ( illustrated in TM 9-2320-365-20-2) . I now...

Gov Planet now handles the rolling stock , GL is done. It was said above, a M35 coming out of surplus now , has sat a good loing while. I'd focus on private owners selling one they have kept up. They are out there, so don't get into a hurry.

Welcome , This is a very good place to learn more about the Deuce and 1/2. I am in the Triangle area here in NC , but I know there are members nearby.

I don't know exactly but I'm thinking 100 lbs each

thanks , should find it . yeah, I didn't think the transmission had an air connect , but this is what is happening. I'm getting some time to solve a few issues with the trucks, so I'm on it !

If you're making it into what it wasn't meant to be, you certainly expect problems.

Truck airs up fine , shift into drive , everything is good , shift into reverse ..starts losing air fast. Where can I isolate this problem ?

you will need to call your DMV, and they will send an officer out to you. They will do a report.You will have to get a title to do anything.

the '87 is the Air Force truck. I have one , and I like it, alot! My truck handles well , and I'm not a fan of bobbing one. It's a great truck for the uses you listed.
