I put some hard miles on an M35 gasser in Vietnam. Only used 1st gear when starting-out uphill or with a really heavy load. I treat my M35A2s the same way now. Never even heard of a trans problem attributed to this.

The common Deuce hot water heater is mounted under the hood. Gets in the way, and pulls in outside air. My "arctic" Deuce came with the heater mounted inside the cab & under the dash on the passenger side. It heats & recirculates cab air. I drove 500 or so miles in a T shirt, in 20 degree...

One of my trucks has the steel "riot" box on it. If I were building it from scratch, or had the ambition to modify mine, I would add an insulated bed over the cab, like most class C motorhomes. This would free up a lot of floorspace.

Thanks very much for the tips! I hope to have time to try them out this coming weekend.

I'm still having same problems. Rough idle & hard to start. Checked all fittings, rechecked filter gasket. I have a small Mightyvac I've used for brake bleeding & vacuum testing. I guess I'll try it on the fuel line & see if I'm sucking air in from somewhere.

You really need (at least) one of each.

Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be a lot of members saying they're in "Port Huron Michigan"? Sounds bogus to me.............:) But welcome anyway!

I typically mix my WMO with gas because it's cheaper. I can't imagine there's any advantage using diesel, as the oil provides plenty of lubrication.

I followed the advice of George at White Owl, & used a .020 gasket. Works fine.

No display of special FMV antique plate required in Indiana. BMV "suggests" you carry the plate in case you go to another state.

Thanks Angus. Easy once someone tells you how!

Can't figure out how to post additional pics in my ad, besides the thumbnail. Help?

The position of your drain valve may allow the handle to vibrate down, losing air pressure.

The 31s work fine in mine, all year 'round, in Northern Indiana.

I can't get any of mine (3) to run on 50/50 WMO & diesel or gas.

I've been very pleased with the help & service I've gotten from the NAPA/Ridge Auto Parts stores in the South Bend/Elkhart Indiana area. Very professional. The manager at the Plymouth Indiana store is great too.

I'm only 5'9" but I like more "belly" room. I took the thick foam pad from the seat back & glued in some GI sleeping pad foam. Makes a big difference!

The location of the hole makes a big difference! If it's near the tank you may want to use something hotter than propane, maybe MAPP gas or oxy/acetylene. That way you can heat the affected area more quickly without too much heat spreading to the tank joints. I've had some success soldering...

To answer your original question it might say: "If you can read this you're WAY too close".

Normal. No worry.
