Boy THAT is no lie! I ran my just-purchased truck out of fuel. The gauge read 1/2 (when I looked inside with the strainer removed, it LOOKED like half!) when I left the purchase place, then stalled on the freeway ten miles from home with a dry tank. Still read 1/3 which I had calculated to be...

Great posts, guys, thanks!

THANKS the site pages look really professional; will contact tomorrow.

Hi All: Need to know the best way to deal with old, loose connections and cracked rubber boots on the engine wiring harness short of replacing the whole thing with NOS. If NOS harness complete is the only option, then please post a source. I'm an industrial electrician, so I know how to make...

How about showing up for this? http://www.veterancarshow.com/documents/FLYER2012WEB.pdf There are NEVER very many military vehicles!

I can see the attraction to burning waste oil of almost any type in these engines, but I won't be doing it because gasoline engine waste oil carries a high level of contamination: "While automobile engine is running, the motor oil collects heavy metal (lead, cadmium, zinc, and barium), iron...

Wikipedia Diesel Winter Grade United States In the United States the states do not have a legislation on a fixed time frame when winter diesel must meet a specific temperature characteristics. The ASTM D 975 standard does not specify a specific value for the cold flow requirements of...

Thanks guys. I was asking because while the truck will reside in SoCal with temperatures normally well above 40 deg's. F, where I live it has snowed every winter for the last five years (global warming, I know). I also realize this is still not very cold to most of the rest of the U.S., I am...

I am looking at the fuel chart on Page 2-24 in TM 9-2320-209-10-1 and I was wondering if anyone has posted a translation chart or link thereto so I know what grade of diesel relates to what grade of military fuel? http://test.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M35/TM9-2320-209-10-1.pdf

Thanks bigmike, I'm going down to inspect and test-drive it Sunday!

Hey Banning!! We'll see if I get the truck this weekend.

Ken in Beaumont 1941 Dodge WC-43 truck, but looking at an M35A2 w/w; will know in a week.

IMA dumbass- I tried searching the Deuce TM's to no avail. Will you please post a link to your article here? THANKS very much. -Ken

Thanks! Focusing on the now apparently scarce M35A2's, the average price at surplus seems to be $1800 to $2200, while the average price for a titled PP sale is over $4500 closer to $5200. $3,000 is worth it to me to go surplus. I've been avoiding the 5 ton trucks because Caterpillar parts...

Thanks very much to all who have replied. I have a decent feel for the situation (it is as I guessed). Great group of guys, thanks!!

No, I would have to borrow or pay for transport. From Barstow to my storage about $500.

Got it!
