    '71 M35A2 LDT465 fuel issue?

    I've always run pump diesel since I've had it. The previous owner (diesel mechanic) told me he always ran diesel as well. I was having the same issue with idling but it went away after warming up. The fluid in that chamber was black like used motor oil but thin like diesel....thought it was odd.

    '71 M35A2 LDT465 fuel issue?

    Success! Fired up without issue. Ran it for 45mins with a 10 min cool down. Shut down and restarted several times and no problems. Gonna try again today and see if it's still good.

    Also battery related....replaced the group 31 batteries that were in my deuce when I bought it in 2016. Interstate econo powers. Probably would have made it one more year had I ran the truck more over the winter. 12.5v on bat 1, 11.25 on bat 2, and that's after charging overnight. Put...

    LED Replacement Light Questions

    In regards to the JW speaker type headlights....I have a set of knock offs in my M35 (were free to me) and they throw great but I dont drive much in the winter. Our dept hmmwv has the heated truck lite style and they throw more flood than spot. Good either way.
