Thanks for the tips. Is there a way to manually prime the fuel system so I don't have to use ether to get the engine to start? Also, what is the best way to look for leaks?
Hello everyone. I have a 1970 M35A2 with a D turbo. The truck ran fine when I had time to run it regularly but, alas, life has gotten in the way and I no longer get to run it regularly. I tried to start it the other day and it wouldn't start. With the help of a little ether, I was finally...
I saw that thread, but I'm still unsure why the brakes won't pump up... if it's a master cylinder issue or if I just need to rebuild the wheel cylinder and power bleed them...
Hi,
I have a 70 deuce that seems to be having some brake trouble. I started it up last weekend to move it around the yard and the brake pedal went to the floor. I assumed this was a leaking wheel cylinder so I checked all 6 hubs and sure enough, the right front was wet. I bought some...
I have a 1970 multi-fuel D turbo and I've run into a problem where the engine idles down around 500 or so and struggles to stay running. I little tug on the hand throttle and it idles smoothly. In addition, it has very little power and takes forever to get up to speed. I'd like to start...
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask or not, but I was wondering if anyone attending the rally in Richloam is coming through or near Juliette Ga and wouldn't mind pulling an m105 trailer? PM me to work out the details. Thanks in advance. If this is not the right place, please just point me...
gov liquidation isn't giving anything away these days... I was just watching 4 M35A2's and they went for between 4000 and 5400... not including the auction fee and sales tax...
I like the idea of an M109 but since they're hard to find, I may just build a custom camper for the back instead...
I did learn one important lesson tonight... when you drain those air tanks, keep you fingers away from where the air is rushing out... water and debris under pressure stings a bit. :)
Before I left the sellers yard with the 2nd deuce, I noticed the oil was prob about 1-2 qts over-full. When I went out to drain the air tanks a little bit ago, I noticed something has spattered all down the underside of the truck. The under side of the fuel tank and spare tire, the middle and...
Yes, I'm picking a new to me deuce up tomorrow (and the tires are from another member near the same area). The stock tires are pretty well worn out on it. I figure I'll put the G177s aside while I run the stock tires out around town for a month or so... I have to save a few hundred to have...
Thanks recovery... I hope not to need one too soon, but I would like to get one eventually... I'm talking to a member in GA that has one for sale... just working on transportation.
Rayzor, you were probably listening, but the drone of that engine is hard to resist...
