    Cummins rough idle

    Worked on it today. No evidence of water in the fuel. Took out filter. It only has about 200 miles on it and looks fine. Couldn't get it primed using the hand pump, so I took the filter back off & completely filled the canister with fuel. Messy. Still took a long time to start, and still a...

    Eliminate M813 muffler?

    I confess. I was wrong. My muffler wasn't too rotted out to repair. It was just too bad to be repaired by ME! Took it to a muffler shop in South Bend. Showed him what TedG had done with his. Twenty bucks for pipe & gasket material, twenty five for labor, a few hours work and it's on the road...

    Starting-out concerns??

    My 3/4" impact is the most important tool I had to ad to my collection. I bought the "Earthquake" model from Harbor Freight. Very satisfied.

    Cummins rough idle

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll check it out in the AM. I remember now that when I had it out a month ago, I didn't drain anything when I got home. We were having a major storm, & I just parked it. It was left sitting until I could get a muffler. Got the muffler on last night. Then found one...

    The Cummins in my M813 is idling rough after sitting a month. What would you check first? Other likely causes?

    Brake light switch replacement

    Sellbooze, You realize of course that your truck is apparently empty of all fluids. There can't be any other explanation for it being so clean! Nice job. I recently did mine too.

    Winch problems!!!!

    Winch may actually be fine. Replace shear pin, put PTO in a neutral position, unlock drum, disengage winch (out) & try turning the drive collar with a strap or pipe wrench. If it turns both ways, then engage the winch (in) & try winding & unwinding cable. If that works you're probably OK. The...

    What is the "body style" for a M35A3 on the SF97?

    I looked at our titles/registrations, regarding model shown: #1 Deuce= "Truck" #2 Deuce= "Unknown" #3 5 Ton= "blank" I recall one Deuce that was registered as a pickup truck and issued 7,000 pound plates, because they didn't know what else to call it.

    Will a M135 winch work on a M35

    FWIW- I asked the same question a long time ago. Someone said the PTO shaft attached on the passenger side on the M135/211. Opposite from the M35. I never checked to see whether this was correct.

    How clean is WMO vs Diesel?

    Both my turbo & non-turbo smoke more burning wmo, and the exhaust really stinks. I don't care because I'm never behind me!

    Eliminate M813 muffler?

    Well, I finally got a chance to work on my muffler. It's obviously been repaired before judging by the built-up sloppy welds. And when the flange broke off it took a lot of the muffler shell with it, leaving a large ragged hole. It is just to rotted out to repair. Time to go muffler shopping.

    Cartridge Filter Bad for ALT Fuel?

    Ditto what Hammer said. I have never tried WVO but burn a lot of WMO with no problems.

    Civy headlight number?

    DH I found those numbers too, but NAPA says they're no longer available. I guess I'll look into the Hella option.

    2 1/2 vs 5 Ton in the Sand??

    In VietNam, I got an M35 thoroughly stuck in deep dry sand. 6X6 Meant stuck worse. Don't stop in dry sand unless you absolutely have too!

    Civy headlight number?

    I remove the rubber leads from the burned out bulb, & solder them to the new bulb. I'm still looking, but I found a possible number GE 13342.

    Civy headlight number?

    Yes I searched. The ebay ad says they are 24 volt, but according to NAPA #6024 is a 12 volt bulb.
