Does this engine have a timing chain or is it a straight gear drive like the multifuel? Also, does the engine use hydraulic valve lifters, so no periodic valve lash adjustment is required (unlike multifuel which has solid valve lifters)?
Perhaps I should not have posted this in the deuce forum, but this vehicle is in the same size, weight and cargo capacity category as the deuce. The truck is essentially International Harvester model 1854 with an all aluminum van body with windows. The truck looks somewhat similar to the M109...
Thanks,
I have read all the threads I could find on M35A2 vs M35A3 comparisons. What I was specifically interested in was how does the van body affect the performance and top speed on the M109A4, given the lower top speed of the M35A3. Would the additional aerodynamic drag of the van body...
I have been thinking about getting one of those trucks, and I would like to find out what kind of road speed are they capable of and what is the fuel economy? I am guessing about 50 MPH top speed? Maybe 6 to 8 MPG?
Does the automatic transmission typically shift smoothly? Is the CTS a...
I was thinking about buying a truck from GL in New Castle, Delaware, but if I won the auction and wanted to drive the truck home to Florida (about 1000 miles), I would like to be able to take it to someplace nearby to have the truck looked over, change or at least top off all the fluids, check...
I would like the know what is the typical length of time it takes the GL to process the paperwork after the auction is won. If the EUC is not required, and when it is required? Would an EUC be required on an M109A4 shop van?
I must confirm the same experience. Years ago I bought a set of surplus 6TL army batteries from a surplus dealer for $ 60/piece and they lasted almost 6 years without any problems. Then I bought a set from Interstate. Two years later, they were toast. No warranty of course, because their...
How big are these dimensionwise? The stock 6TLs are 10X10 inches. Group 34? I will check these out. However, two group 24 batteries from Walmart are only about $ 170 for both with core.
I just bought a compact Schumacher 24Volt battery charger from batterymart.com. for less than $ 100, including shipping. It is fully automatic, and you can charge both batteries while connected in series and inside the battery box without removing the upper holddown bracket or the crossover...
Some questions for those who have used group 24 and 24F replacement automotive batteries:
Using these batteries will require a longer crossover cable than the original one used with 6 TL batteries. What gauge and what length cable do I need assuming I used spacers between the batteries and...
Can someone recommend a good source for reasonably priced military 6N batteries? Locally I can only get them from an Interstate battery dealer and they are rather pricey - about $ 150/piece. And I am not impressed by their longevity - or lack of. No more than 2 or 3 years and they are...
