    My M35A2 Cargo Dump Truck

    The rear pic of Johns truck doesn't show the completion. You very well could see the pintle and bumperettes return.

    My M35A2 Cargo Dump Truck

    Ya think? It amazed me when I saw where the frame bent. To have all the weight on the end of the frame and the front end just a swayin in the breeze. Sarafan did a huge number of dumps on 2.5 ton trucks. There is a void in that market place and would highly suggest you persue a high end kit.

    My M35A2 Cargo Dump Truck

    I lined up a rebuild job for John a couple of years ago. 2.5 ton dump by Sarafan. When the owner dumped the truck, the load got stuck. The bed of the truck was fine. The frame between the rear axles bent and humped up on both sides. John swapped out the frame for the owner.

    Fuel polishing

    No water, no rust. Get rid of the fuel tank and get a new one or at the least seal the tank commercialy. Get rid of the rusty "cans" with new ones or wait till John has the secondary fuel adapters. Simply said get rid of the item causing the rust and resolve the water entry issue. The Dahl...

    Oil and fuel filter change, filter problems

    It is not the number of oil changes that makes JATonkas oil filter adapters valuable but the 2 to 3 seconds to oil pressure that make the adapters "priceless". If you are using the correct oil in the system, a pre-lube is optional with JATonkas adapters.

    Is DOT 3 Fluid OK?

    DOT 5, surplus, is $25.00 to $35.00 per GALLON, not qt. I would strongly suggest re-reading D Dolye's post and the US Military study done on this subject.
