the compulsion, the need, the curse The law of Reo-Stude-Am-Gen or "Restage" applies to all M35 deuce and a halfs. This has been borne out by scientific testing that in this particular species of Military Vehicle, the probability of the need for an adjustment or repair is statistically...

Hey, you can use a slave cable to power a 24 volt motor to run the alternator and then use that to jump your deuce......rofl This is, of course, circular electrical power theory!!!

The equation of amps produced is directly associated the amount of power the Alternator is getting. Figure a 12 volt alternator is putting out 60 amps. That times 13.8 volts = 828 watts or volt amps of power. Lets say the washing machine motor is 1/2 HP. According to the resources I can find...

Oh NO!...Put it back where you found it Say the 23rd PSALM over and over while holding a crucifix and wearing a ring of garlic. I fear your truck may be possessed by the evil spirits in the form of a Rabbit Devil.

One answer to the truck rolling when it is parked..... WHEEL CHOCKS! I carry two always. The idea for a lock on the e brake is good, but I like the visual reassurance of seeing the chocks in place when I am standing outside my truck.

Read the manual As was posted already. The answer to this is in the -10 manual. Now I will tell you why people tell people who ask questions like this one that they themselves can answer if they read the manual. Besides the little trivial questions that will be answered in the operator's...

It sounds to me like internal leakage. The only way the pedal can go to the floor and have no effect is if it is bypassing in the master. As long as it is not escaping the Airpack you will eventually build up a pedal if the master is good. Even if the brake fluid is bypassing internally...

Check the pressure line to the TURBO. Also the return can leak. You would be quite surprised at how much oil passes through the turbo while the engine is running. It is possible that a leak in the pressure line to the turbo would reduce the pressure in the block at the oil pressure sensor. I...

Nice tractor WM!!!!! I am beginning to wonder if Elmo and Eliie Mae really ought to either get a room or a chaperone?????

Agreed Bob, but the OP did not report oil loss in having to refill the crankcase... That is unless I missed it which can happen......

What has not been mentioned is when the front tires start sliding just a bit under sharp turns even at low speed. All it takes is a little sand, or a slick road surface and you can feel the front end giving a bit in a sharp turn. I say this knowing that I carry a shelter on the back of my...

My "Slobber Tube" (Yes, it is actually called that!) extends down almost to the front differential. When I bought my deuce and first started driving it, there was a lot of slobber coming out of that tube. Most of it ended up on the front differential. Some, but not much, streaked down the...

The knocking in the first video of the truck running is water in the combustion chamber and it is the result of a lack of space for both the water and the fuel/air charge that is injected or drawn in on each combustion cycle. I would be extremely cautious with this motor even after you fix the...

Page 12 of the Multifuel troubleshooting manual from Continental located in the Deuce TM section of www.jatonkam35s.com has the oil system diagram. This may be helpful in this question.

"Also, I have never put a whole lot of trust into the factory gauges (especially the fuel), to get a true reading one would need to hook up a mechanical gauge at least temporarily to see what it reads. " __________________ Scott I agree wholehearredly with "TIE6044" that the only way to be sure...

It would pay to preview the truck before going to get it home. This way you can see if there are any brakes, or if it runs, or if it has flat tires etc...... As to towing your pickup, I would get a partner for the day to follow or lead you whatever. If for some reason the brakes are marginal...

Unless your truck has a different motor than the multifuel it is always going to be capable of burning different fuels. The FDC varies the IP pressure based on fuel density. The fuel is delivered the same way after a FDC is bypassed as before. Install a pyrometer and keep track of the heat...

Here is a page with some data on the J 79 General Electric J79

I avoid transmission fluid as it has "friction enhancers" in it which reduce the overall lubricity of the oil. If you read the article on diesel fuel at Jatonka you will see that they cover pretty much all of the additives you can think of as well as some you have not heard of. While one...

There is a fuel additive study available on www.jatonkam35s.com on the home page that goes into the various fuel additives and their benefits or not. All the TMs are there in the deuce section including several pertaining to injector pumps, turbochargers, transmissions and transfer cases as...
