Bully! :)

You going to get rid of your muffler?? :D

Be sure to adjust the valves a couple times after the rebuild. I rebuilt mine this year with new pistons, liners and new heads. After I re-torqued my heads, I found the valves were tighter. I would adjust them after you re-torque the heads and again maybe a couple hundred miles later as well...

I do not have the original pin because that one broke when I first used the winch... it broke just pulling my truck. I replaced it with a grade 2 bolt. It is not correct but I also use my head when I use the winch. When i have and sliver of doubt, I always use the snatch block. Its big and heavy...

I'd also like to say it takes about 2 gallons of paint to cover a M925 or M923 in one color.

74M35A2 should post more pictures of the truck so we all can see it in the day light! :-)

For the right money I will!

Rapco. See post #11. It is the basic 3 color camp scheme listed in the TM. :-)

Thank you for the compliments. The most important thing is prep work. A good pressure wash and then grinding away flaking paint and taking a DA sander to all the flat surfaces helps exfoliate the oxidized paint and helps the new stuff attach. I used Rapco 383 Green, then painted 383 brown and...

Masking off the glass makes things easier. Other than that, not much else. Ok, stuff like the slave cable port/cap, solar battery charger, light lenses, etc. Head lights are so easy to remove it just easier taking them out and putting tape over the ends of the wires. You are right though, paint...

Thanks bud, you deserve it. If you don't take a second glance back to look at your truck when you park it in a parking lot, you bought the wrong truck. Glad you like it :-)

Nope, I did it all frame on. Just takes time to get detail work. Anybody can paint one but it depends how much detail you want to do and how nice you want it.

I see a double check valve in the system, not sure if I need one of those or not? Can I use an air system diagram of an M818 and use that as a reference to install mine?

I think this valve has the double check valve built in it.

I recently got a trailer brake control valve from an M931A2 and would like to put it on my M35A2 so I can manually apply trailer brakes. They also call these a Johnny Bar, Johnson Bar, etc. It had 3 lines coming out of the back and I was curious where they need to be routed to. One of the ports...

Yup, That's why I keep my truck out of the deep mud. I put too many miles on it for all that shenanigans. :)

I like to adjust the valves and see where they are at. Pushing down with a wood block is only going to cause clearance at one end or another... like a teeter totter (spelling?). its the cheapest thing you can do and a good PM activity.

My MEP-002A is portable! it has fork pockets and a lifting hook! HAHA! (joking) rofl

Its better that you covered your ugly mug. Look at that shirt! :)

I had the same results with the 5 horsepower IR compressor of my dad's... my MEP-002A didnt like it either... it just grunted and flipped the switch quick to shut it off. Worth a try! My compressor now is a 1.5 horse on an 80 gallon tank. It should run that fine. Yes, the compressor takes...
