Looks like it is time to try a different or new hydraulic head.

Have you taken out the hex plug in the center of the hydraulic head and verified that the plunger inside the head moves up and down? Here is a useful thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103256-M35A2-no-fuel-at-injectors And another...

A lesser man would have thrown her onto the scrap pile. Glad to see you are getting her back to life!

Before you spend $50 on a replacement flasher unit that will, again, cr*p out on you, read this thread and make your own: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134679-M-series-flasher-relay-civvy-conversion-how-to

Installed civilian LED 7" head lights from an auction site. They are 120W CREE. I did not measure the draw; in general, the vendors tend to be a bit optimistic about light output. They come with a 3 prong plug in harness that is easily modified by cutting off the civy end and replacing with 3...

Look into TM9-2320-361-24-1. https://jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TM9-2320-361-24-1.pdf No particular preference for any vendor, but here is an example: First gasket, up at the turbo: https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/products/exhaust-turbo-gasket-m35a2-11677119 The other two...

I can make a new harness for the civilian LED headlights and solder everything nicely, I can crimp the military connectors and put it all together. But for the life of me I cannot get the three locking screws for the headlight bucket rings lined up so that all three of them actually grab. One...

That is almost the only way I get stuff done these days...take time off work!

Your auxilliary switch ("ignition") may not disconnect properly. I can play with mine and get the air buzzer to stop but the battery/charging gauge is still on, if I deliberately keep the switch in an almost-off position. Yes to the battery cutoff - that is a good safety device in any case! As...

Not available as of today...

Installed my green, then red, now green again aluminium M35A3 fuel tank on my A2. Nice to have a non-rusting, non-flaking clean tank. I used 2 1/2 inch fire hose, cut open, using only the inner sleeve that is fabric on one side and rubber on the other as underlay. Installed NOS driver...

The glad hands are a standard truck supply item (that is probably why they went AWOL on your truck). Just get a pair at any truck stop and screw them in.

I am planning a petition to suspend the seasons. I can't deal with shorter and shorter daylight hours where you can't get anything done after coming home from work, falling leaves that stick to my fresh paint and constant threat of rain showers when I am working on my truck outside. I want June...

How to remove, replace the door and how to rehab interiors (glass, window channels, locks etc.): http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TM9-2320-361-24-2.pdf (TM 9-2320-361-24-2) Swapping the door was straightforward. The problem was that the door, new hinges and all, did not sit...

Mine has a military vintage JB weld fix on top from where constant drip from the cargo bed has put a hole into the tank. Also, a steel tank will eventually rust and flake inside, causing issues. An aluminium tank simply won't. Alternatively, you can have your steel tank boiled and then coated by...

Tackling this right now! :-) Wow...can't believe that this project has been waiting over two years....

Any news on the carb kits?

Just spent half an hour trying to fish the door opening limiter rod out of the hollow area where the pop-out cab vent sits. I was surprised how much crud and leaves and general dirt collects in there. Open the vent, grab the spring from the outside and gently push it down and in to unhook it...
