I think most of the guys gave you good advice you should be able to have all your bases covered. I'll just add, be sure to check the TM section on this site and download all the TM's that have the M35-A2 designation. These are very helpful to learn more about your truck but also how to...
Like others have stated, I also use the chain that's welded to the driver seat wrapped around the wheel with a hd padlock along with not one but two battery disconnects. I have one on the dash that I have a little red led connected too so it's lit when the power is on for the truck before the...
Can't go wrong with a classic M35A2 if you know what it is and what you're getting into. I've had two now and not a day goes by I regret owning it. If anything, I just keep spending more money on it for upgrades and maintenance. Keep an eye in the classifieds section for a deuce for sale as well...
Great to hear! I agree, battery disconnects are a great accessory to add to any MV as many suffer from parasitic draws, but also eliminates other potential issues.
You can yes, you can see this first hand using a voltage reader, you'll see over time one battery has more amps than the other. Sometimes after a drive you can hear hissing coming from the battery on the primary positive cable. This is due to over charging as the system is trying to pass the...
It's not the CCA you have to worry about as far as balance goes, but the actual energy level of the battery itself. One might be at 12.5 amp and the other is at 11.8 amp. What happens is when the voltage regulator sense that the voltage is off, whichever of the two batteries, but it's usually...
We have some good campaigns going on here, all I did was add a crane in the back of my truck and I feel as if I didn't do squat compared to everyone else, haha
Make sure to use group 31 batteries, something deep cycle with at least 900CCA, most other batteries either won't be strong enough, crank it long enough, or won't fit. Years ago I used some dozer batteries from a heavy equipment shop and those were 980CCA each, turned the deuce over pretty fast...
If none of the injectors are popping while cranking, then I would look into testing those injectors to see if they pop off around the correct psi. Quite a few guys here have some good threads on how they built their own rig to test them, or send them to someone who can. If the injectors prove to...
Perhaps it's not a fuel delivery or fuel pressure problem, if fuel pressure can pop off the injectors for it to run, it should start, in theory, but have you pulled the injectors to check the spray patterns? I ask this, because the deuce will start with a non working in tank pump, the IP and HH...
