Thanks, guys. Gauge is 20 years old, but engine only has 5,200 miles. Oil is Rotella 15-40 with 50 miles or so on it. I'll try the mechanical gauge. I was wondering about gauges, because I have two other gauge issues--fuel gauge reads really high, as in 1/2 a tank when it's near empty...

Mine's running about 28 on the gauge, at 2000 RPM. Should I worry?

Mentioned in another post. Is that a pump that loads all the empty places so you have immediate oil pressure when you start? If so, where can I get one, how hard is it to install, how much, etc? Thanks, fellas

Yeah, I got the same thing. Their policy is that you have to file a tax exemption BEFORE the auction ends, or it's too late. I b-tched anyway, and supposedly got a refund, with the same form letter as yours.

When I picked up my truck at Ft. Lewis the only thing missing was an instrument cluster light cover. At Ft. Lewis, the GL yard is several hundred yards separated from DRMO, but is unsupervised. The GL folks there are always on a dead run, but offered any help I needed to get the truck...

Your wife went with you to recover a military truck? She's a keeper!! :D

i'm going to replace the clutch disc in my '63 Studebaker M35A1 next weekend. Any wisdom you all could impart would be greatly appreciated.

Wait--isn't this forum a support group?

Did any of you request the SF 97 on line, or did you all mail inA? I did mine on line.

And I thought I was nuts driving an M135 one way 500 miles. Great story, and thanks for sharing. And you've to two GREAT looking trucks there.

I've had good dealings with Alex also. I bought my M151A2 from him.

These two are actually red top Optimas. I think I've just been converted.

The M35 I picked up last week came from Air National Guard with two auto type gel batteries. These two batteries from 1997, and crank the engine beautifully and hold a charge well. Are others having this kind of extended service life from gel batteries?

I have a two pin jumper cable set, and one truck with a NATO socket. I need to adapt two pin cable to single pin truck. Anyone got one? I've got a two pin socket to one pin cable adapter, but now need the opposite.

Steel screws in aluminum housings = electrolysis. As others have said, use pentrating oil, patience, and head. Even then they may be too far gone.

Anybody out there know how long does it take for GL to pony up an SF97 after they get their money?

Last Friday when I picked my deuce up at GL, I mentioned to the site manager that I'd tapped the primary filter to check for water. He asked what color diesel the truck had in it, and when I told him "green, just like it ought to be", told me about a guy who called him and read him the riot act...

Thanks for the leads. Cougarx, I've pm'ed you.

Are there any issues using WMO in a truck that only gets driven once a month?

Anyone got a lead on one of these in good shape?
