:ditto: I would bet the problem is not the turbo. I would also think the problem has nothing to do with running out of fuel. Check your belts for slippage and alternator, WP and compressor.

Continental produced a lot of engines for both automotive and industrial uses, including military vehicles. A lot of cars, trucks, welders, pumps, fork trucks, etc. used Continental engines. In a previous life I drove a fork truck with a six cylinder Continental engine with the Red Seal logo...

I get nervous when I hear someone with noices comeing from their transmission. My M35A2 started making a whining/rattling noise after about ~1,000 miles after recovery. Shortly thereafter, I shelled teeth on 5th gear and had to swap out the transmission for a take-out. My new transmission is...

Mine puts out a large amount of white smoke for about 30 seconds tops then there is zero smoke. I agree with Isaac-1, put a load on it and let it run. If you have some electric heaters, air compressor, etc. you can load it fairly easily. Load it until the louvers open indicating the engine is...

When I swapped out my transmission and replaced my clutch and PP, I bought a rear main seal from Saturn. However, I was talked out of replacing the seal, because my old one didn't leak a drop. I followed the adage, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. This decision may come back to bite me later.

The anti-skid on the fenders and front bumper on my M35s is great. I have an M149A2 water buffalo and I slipped off the fender and busted my *ss when I hit the ground. The water buffalo should have it as well. The M35s appear to be sand mixed with paint. I think the sand/paint mix look better...

Are you going to try to rebuild it yourself or pay someone?

I wish you good luck with your transmission. I have now decided that your A3 is the one I was trying to get, but you outbid me and I went after the one I won. It could have been me with the transmission problem. Was yours the one with the good cargo cover? I don't know what the proper...

Welcome back to Steel Soldiers!

If you do pull the transmission, I would go ahead and replace the clutch and pressure plate.

Actually, he liked the truck a lot. He wasn't trying to be mean or anything. I've found the best thing to minimize the wobble is to run about 55 PSI in the tires. It's amazing how it smooths the truck out. The other thing is that when I drive it, I kind of let the steering wheel do it's...

I let someone drive my M35A3 today. They really liked the truck, but made a comment I didn't much like. The guy had apparently driven a school bus back in his past. He said that driving the A3 was like "driving a green wobbly school bus". He said the sound from the CAT engine coupled with...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! A great place and a lot of good information. If you are interested in an M35 you should go ahead and start reading the posts. You will learn a lot.

The bottom of the lid is flat and made of stainless steel. The lip as you mentioned is a hard rubber grommet, screwed on. The outer edge of the hard rubber grommet is ~1/2 inch and the inner depth is ~3/4 inch. I took some more photos as you can see. I apologize for the poor photo quality. I...

The last barrel band heater I used was from McMaster Carr. This was years ago, so the price paid then is immaterial now. I was using it to heat chemicals and mix them by convection. To keep from moving the sludge in the bottom around, keep the heater up maybe 6 - 10 inches. I also had the...

It's still raining, but I went ahead and took some photos. Let me know if you need more photos or specific measurements. If it was me, I'd keep looking for a lid. As soon as you go ahead an do the work to make a lid, you'll find one.

I think a barrel heating band is best, because you get a lot of good mixing in the barrel. If you place the band near the bottom, the heated oil near the barrel sides will flow upwards in the barrel following the walls and the cooler oil will fall down the middle. This will help heat the...
