Hello, I have a M35A2 that won't start and needs to find a way to a mechanic. Truck is located on property owned my by in laws and I can't get a normal truck/trailer on the property to move the truck.
I am looking for someone to help tow the truck with a tow bar about 60 miles. I am willing...
Woops, I got caught not installing the parts I ordered two years ago! I blame lack of time to work on my truck on son number two. He turns two in April.
I went to Home Depot today and picked up a variety of pipe caps. I returned home and tried to unscrew the existing switch and put on a cap...
I searched for an answer for my problem, but I didn't find one, so I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
I was moving my truck from its parking spot to the shop to get a brake cylinder replaced and needed to make a quick pit stop at the house. When I pulled up, the brake pedal went to the...
I'm going to try and manufacture one of these bleeders but I don't have an extra MC cap to use, and I don't have the truck here for reference. Thanks for posting the pictures!
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the existing MC cap on the bleeder once it is constructed? Or, is there a...
Guys, thanks a ton for your extremely generous offers!
One of the reasons I like working on my truck is that if you can read a TM, you can perform general maintenance, even without extensive automotive knowledge. It is situations like I'm in now that are a little frustrating because I don't...

The guys at Saturn informed me they were out of the kits and had no timeline as to when they would have additional kits in stock.
Thanks, DieselBob, that is very helpful.
If anyone else knows, I'm still trying to determine...
I have a problem with the brake lights on my truck. The lights work when the headlights are on, but do not respond when the brake pedal is depressed. I read some of the old posts about this problem and believe my brake switch is the problem. I have the old style brake switch, so while...
I called several places and found two who had the entire kit in stock. One was $85 and one $55. Here is the link for the cheaper kit:
UCOM #7006 Stoplight Switch Kit
If you want to order from UCOMINC, you need to call them directly, and note they open and close early, I believe 5-2:30 EDT...
I am in Austin. I did a short test drive of about 30 feet and the brakes do stop the truck, which they didn't do on Monday so I'm kinda proud of my first mechanical effort on any piece of machinery.
I would absolutely love some help. My main problem right now is that I need to move the truck...
rlwm, thanks for the detailed explanation. I will try that this evening.
I didn't have a soldier b so to speak, I just had a stick that I wedged against the brake pedal. That is some redneck engineering!
