Will: Tell me the details; I'll see if I'm scheduled to work!

BimmerPower: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THIS.

Dave Kay- Thanks very much! The Fontana store is only three blocks from where I get on/off the I-10 for work. Will check it out after I'm off of Graveyard shift.

Will Wagner- Sorry, I guess I coulda made my reply iin a separate post. I mentioned in post #4 above that I'm in Beaumont CA. jollyroger- cool thanks, I have added a gladhand with threaded hub for a quick-connect to my list. I have hoses for around the garage, so I'll be taking them with me...

Warthog: I understand your concern- I have lived with the dangerous traffic of southern California all my 42 years and recently seen a LARGE number of stoopid things on the I-10. But you have taken my lack of experience with a certain model of truck and translated it into an inability to safely...

I know a BFH is a hammer, what's the "S"? THANKS very much for the list; will go and get some stuff next paycheck. Oil and especially fuel filter numbers?? I live in Beaumont, and I will be retrieving the truck in Santa Clarita (assuming my on-going financial plans work out). $500 down on the...

Hi All: Getting ready to get my first M35 with a 3 hour drive, so I was hoping some of you could please list basic items such as fuel filters and belt(s) I should take with me. I will need the part numbers and whether I can use NAPA or such. THANKS very much!! -Ken J

"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and his wife hates you forever.":razz: Just kidding!! This is a quote of another guy on a WWII forum.

Thanks very much to all of you! I very much appreciate the useful comments and insight. I decided to get the multi-fueler because this particular truck needs hours and hours less work and $$$$ to get it driveable. I do like older gas engines, but I just don't want to do a restoration right...

YES, YES I DO 8) (love to get a Cummins but ain't gonna happen this year)

Not trying to look down on anyone here AT ALL! Sorry if this all came out wrong. I very much appreciate your replies to other posts!!:) Just trying to push lightly toward well-thought-out mods in relation to air brakes.

Wow, quick replies! THANKS!!

Yep, the compressor crankshaft is always turning when the engine is, BUT it's not always compressing and building heat. Maybe the military over-engineered it and it's rated to compress air continuously; but if it isn't then it will burn out if it doesn't cycle as designed. Shop air compressors...

Hi All: I am looking at my first M35 and both trucks I am considering will need batteries. I am an electrician and with extensive mechanical background, but the M35 is new to me. Can yellow-top or red-top Optima batteries do the work on the LDT multi-fuel engine, or do I need actual full-size...

Thanks guys! I see that many M35's shown here don't have winches, so I guess they're not considered critical. Looking at eBay they price from $700 to $1400 for the 24 volt models. Probably still half price of a stock set-up (hydraulic, right?). Can't have both, have to store the one I get at a...

So that would be $15 x 20 ($300) + $15 x 10 ($150) for a total of $450. If you got a quote for this work at $300, seems good. I have looked at getting a set of tire tools (a "duck-billed" sledge hammer and two "spoon" prybars) and it was gonna be expensive. I think it was gonna cost me over...

Dinosaur Tire in Calimesa gets $30 per dismount/mount (split rims), so $300 for the ten as well. Seems like the going rate in So Cal. On the other hand, the truck repair shop just off of Cherry Valley Blvd. at the I-10 wanted to charge me $80 just to dismount ONE 9.00-16....:cookoo:

Hi All: I've restored a 1/2 ton Dodge WWII truck, and it's time for something different. I have a guy who will sell me a complete and ready-to-run LDT without winch with soft top for $3200, and a different guy offering one with winch and hard top with gasser engine but needs brakes work (and...

I'm gonna be a **** here and point out that we all have legal responsibilities to keep our vehicles safe for us and the rest of the non-6x6'rs out there on the road. That said, I point out that increasing the capacity of the braking system will run the compressor longer, building greater heat...
