Your truck looks and sounds great! Welcome to the forum.

Here is an interesting article on airpak maintenance.

I did play around with duplicating a 5 ton piston out of 304 stainless. Now that we know it works, I should probably make some more here soon.

Your truck looks very nice!! I use 87 octane with no ethanol. I've not use a lead additive, but maybe I should. Hopefully someone else can tell us what we should do on that part.

Do you have any pictures of the trucks you drove that you could upload on here for us to see?

A couple years ago we started a discussion on the power piston, but progress has been slow. I had machined one out of 304 stainless and 1944MB and I finally tested it out in his M211 over the Memorial Day weekend during an approximately 120 mile round trip from Big Timber to Bozeman, Montana. It...

Can you give us more details on how you upgraded the fuel pump to one from an M35A2? What modifications were required? You've got some really neat ideas.

Do you change out all the rubber parts after the alcohol flush?

Here it is.

I've seen them on M135's in some of the TM's and TB's. I'd like to find a complete set of those sometime.

That looks like a nice one. What part of the US are you and the truck located? Maybe one of us is close to it and can help you when the time comes.

Did you ever check to see what "yellow metal" is in these transfer cases?

Cold weather got here early this year and I came nowhere close to achieving my goal, but got some more done. I found this old paint on one of the window frames and thought my new paint matches the color really well. These were in an old GMC truck catalog from the 50's and I found it...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I agree with everyone else. Start her up and see what you've got. I prefer the M135 with gas engine over the M35 mulitfuel. I'm not sure if the Canadian Military used ORD 7 SNL G749, but my copy states that when the M135 wheel supply was exhausted, to use the M211 or...

Yes please do post pictures when you can! I'm interested in seeing what distributor you used as well as everything else you've done to the truck.

When you do, be sure to drop by and say hello.

I'm not trying to get too far off topic here, but since you have your transfer case open, I have a question for you. Are there any brass, bronze or other parts considered "yellow metal" in these transfer cases? There are years old arguments here about if GL-5 gear oil will ruin the "yellow...

Welcome to the forum! Here is a video on Youtube showing the air compressor governor. Maybe you can compare it to what yours is doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMz1Bj3uaAk You might try this out of Bob Kettler's Tech Tips for your generator. Here is where you can download some of...
