    Starter not turning over on M35A2

    If you haven't already you might try cleaning and tightening the ground cable (10) for the starter. Just a thought before you start pulling things off although the "smoke in the cab" thing doesn't sound good.

    Hi all, Joe from Kenosha Wisconsin

    There you go. We like pics....:grin: Be sure to post as you go. Every time I see a 09 in good shape I want to get one. Had the civiy versions of a 85 and 89 years and they where just the right size and made great DD's without all the bells and whistles you have to get now if you want them or not.

    Deuce light switch overheat?

    If you turn the lights on now just sitting do the stay on or go out almost right away ? If they are going out right away try it in the service park setting which would eliminate the headlight circuit. Does your truck have any extra lights installed. It could also be that the circuit breaker in...

    Biggest tires for deuce stock rims

    Well if I had the coin I would go with the Goodyear G177 in a 11.00X20 size which looks great on the deuce. But unless I hit the lottery or a rich relative leaves me a pot of cash I have to stick to stock...

    Cross country in a 1966 m35a2

    Sorry to hear about the failure. Some failures like that there is just nothing you can do to prevent it. Short of changing all the fluids and belts and hoses and doing a complete overhaul of the entire drive train there is just no knowing when some things will fail. 45 ~ 50 mph should be fine. I...

    Looking for my First M35A2

    When you say this what do you mean. Just something that you can jump in and take a ride or do a show or parade or more like a project that you can both enjoy working on. If the former Than a ready to roll already serviced truck like one from Eastern would be the way to go. If you choose this...
