The truck was running fine before I stripped the cab (only painted, and fixed cosmetic parts), and after for 2 days of short trips. It was the 3rd day after a longer (30 min of 55mph) that it started stalling.
When I had the button and clip out I checked it carefully for irregular wear marks...
Picked up some silicone spray and was able to get the engine running for about 3 seconds with it.
I waited 20min and tried again this time giving it a little accelerator pedal and she purrs like a kitten!!! I set the throttle cable at about 800 and let it run for 15 min or so while I went...
I was told by an old National Guard motor pool mechanic that that toggle switch goes with a bottle of ether under the hood, hit the switch and it gives it a shot.
I have a bracket and tubing in the engine compartment, on the firewall right in front of the driver that is missing the bottle.
He...
Mostly the underside of the front bumper or driver side fender :|
Truck didn't move and I made sure to put the HH back in with the red scored tooth in the exact same position as I took it out.
I will give it a shot of ether and then try bleeding the injectors if that doesn't work.
Thanks for...
I didnt open injector line 2, but when I opened 6 I did get spurts of fuel out when cranked. The rust was more around the threads, but just noted because it was different than the other ports.
I've been beating my head against the truck for over a week now. Still cant make it fire. Hopefully a guru can point out something simple I've overlooked.
Truck is a 71 M35A2, D turbo
Here's the symptoms: 1-5 were all in the same day, prior trips were short and had no issues.
1. Started...
My truck is having the same symptoms, except my fuel cutoff moved freely.
When you took the bolt out of the IP and cranked the engine did fuel come out the hole? When I did I had a 2 inch spout of fuel and couldn't see if the internals were moving up and down. I dont think they are stuck in...
Nope my picture was of the secondary/final. The primary was about that bad except the filter that was in it had a longer water type filter that extended below the actual filter. Not sure how to describe it but the whole filter assembly was about 8 inches long. The entire bottom was filled with...
Cool thanks for the links! The more I look into the Spin on's the more I think that may be the best long term solution than replacing the missing part.
Doing the first fuel filter change since I got the truck ('71 M35A2). The primary was easy thanks to lots of posts here and the TMs. Then came the secondary and final... removing was easy but when I dissembled everything to get the sludge out I noticed that the filters were pretty much not doing...
Not sure if Ill be making it anymore, the Deuce has developed an idle problem or a fuel pump issue. Started fine this morning in Jackson, drove to Lansing for work, in Lansing it stalled coming off 496 and again and almost every stoplight. RPMs need to be above 600 or it sputters and cuts...
I will be there Friday night or early Saturday, that's if I can get the M35 back together in time.
Ill be looking for:
M35A2 fiberglass troop seats
M35A2 bows and tarp (tan or cammo I'm not picky)
M35A2 fenders
Hopefully meet some knowledgable M35 owners who can look at mine and say "That...
