    M109A3 (M35A2) Shop Van overheating .... my steps to cure

    Gauges , sending units are not really as accurate as we would hope. More of a guide , loose wires , bad grounds etc. years of shaking around will cause things to go out of calibration. I have watched mine just start bouncing all over on a flat pice of ground. Put in a different gauge , sending...

    Starting research ld 465 1c turbo upgrade

    It also has a larger intake and air filter. Turbo won’t do squat if you can’t get air into it.

    Noise at very low speed

    I still haven’t got my SF97 either. , I do all my driving at O-dark 30. But I live in a fairly rural area. I thought I had huge suspension issues , at above 40 it felt like the wheels were going to fall off. Everything shook like I owed it money. A new set of csm tires and dumping those run...

    What engine can i use?

    I had a friend that had a V8 (gas) in an M-211. I think it was a 455 from some Cadillac , only had a few thousand Miles and had better top end but no low end tork. After checking the motor I found you could slide the crank about 3/8 of an inch in and out. the main “thrust” bearings were totally...

    New to this... 1952 Studebaker 6x6 M35, need good advice!

    Don’t put “gas” in the truck !🤯 it won’t last. It’s designed for diesel fuel “but” can run on other types of fuel , that is in case of AN EMERGENCY ! It’s your truck. Do as it as you want. There are LOTS of posts here on using waste oil an such. Also DON’T use either when trying to start. You...

    MEP-803A Hole Drilled in Fuel Tank from GovPlanet

    Gvmnt efficiency at its finest , how low on the IQ table are you when your drilling holes in fuel tanks ? I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that “person” isn’t long for this life. I’m just spitballing here but using an electric drill to make holes in fuel/gas tanks isn’t conducive to longevity. 🤔

    M1009 Crash/Rebuild

    You can replace all the broken /bent stuff , easy way to tell would be if nothing will align , door , hood etc. even now if looking at the passenger door , is the gap between the door and fender bigger ? Just shimming the crap out of everything will not fix the bent frame

    M1009 Crash/Rebuild

    Take it to the frame shop. May have some real issues. Bent frame , diff , leaf springs. cracked transfer case ya know. Stuff like that. The fender , hood , inner fender , well are nothing compared the bent frame or main body mounts that are bent. 😞.

    Flip a switch to use gas?

    Don’t let these guys fool ya. There’s a small switch under the truck just above the transfer case so you can use gas. It activates the catalytic converters in the turbo. Also there’s a lever to be able to generate the 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux capacitor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
