    M35a2 fuel issue

    Mission Impossible..(?)

    These M series trucks have twin rears (Hopeless in the extreme), and narrower track front wheels (Even worse). In soft ground, sand, and as in this case Wet Sand.. they tend to drive the front wheels into the ground. My M62 wrecker weighs 24 tons. Get bogged in, I would LOSE IT. No question...

    Anyone a hydraulic genius

    AS mentioned previously, Check the routing of the pipes. Also, There are relief valves in the circuit, Check if they need servicing, As they may be 'blowing off' prematurely. And I just had a thought...Check the selector levers as they may well not be functioning properly. If a selector is not...

    Black out lights

    Check if there is power to them If there is, Check polarity. If that is not the problem, Then you have to check the pinouts on the plug to the switch,

    Truck uncontrollable after bump.

    Thank you for the clarification, And yes, You are experiencing the deadly "Death Wobble". It is a difficult problem to overcome short of a complete steering overhaul. I have known many jeeps experience it, (Including mine)..Not such an easy fix with heavier vehicles. (As) trying to check the...
