White smoke generally means antifreeze issues with the motor. Might want to look at that instead of the transmission. Trans leak is usually a sign of the truck marking its territory.

Is that an M35 bobbed and made to look like an M37?

Nice job. I know you've worked long and hard on this. Now I can't wait to see the pics of the commo shelter once it's done and installed. That's going to be kick - ***! Good job sir.

Air in the lines? Plugged filter? I always try to trouble shoot under the K.I.S.S. method. Keep It Simple Stupid! Like timarr said start with the stupid stuff and work your way up to the hard stuff.

That's the one I've was thinking of. It suppose to have an Isuzu diesel in it also.

Is the motor free? I see you have a spark plug out. Nice find! One in a million. Give me your lottery numbers cause you've used up all your good luck...:lol:

Not trying to be funny here but how good are you at milling? Or a better question maybe do you have a milling or machine shop near your AO that could reproduce the gear in metal? I don't know about up there in your area but around here many libraries and non-profits are developing maker spaces...

It's good that you got to the problem and will be able to fix it and you were not stranded someplace in the process. It's also good that you are going to check all the other wheels to make sure the problem isn't going to repeat itself. I good word to anyone who buys a MV. #1 thing to do is...

The bush growing out of the side of the truck was a factory option.... :lol: Too bad it's going to rot away.

Looks Great. Reminds me of the A2 I did a dozen years ago. Nice job!

Someone was selling that special wrench on ebay you might look there if you "must have" one in your tool box. When I had an M35A2 I just did like was stated above. Moved the altinator till I could slip the belt on. Took some time and some levering but we got it.

Should have put headers on and a cheery bomb exhaust.... :lol: ;) :D Truck sounds good seems to be shifting good. Nice job!

All I'm saying is that the Army is really slow to make changes so if M serries dumps were short wheel base the history is there that the CCKWs would have also been short wheelbased. Not long wheel based like your truck. The Army has always been a if it works don't fix it kind of thinking.

When I had my M211 I was at a meet with another guy that had a Canadian M135. I asked him how he kept his truck so quiet as I had the perpetual manifold leak. He looked at me and I remember his quote. "I change the manifold gasket every spring whether it needs it or not." He then said...

I'm not an expert on this, but I have been in the hobby for 28 years so IMHO only short wheel base trucks where made into dump trucks. Look at the M series the only dumps made in both 2.5 and 5 ton have been short wheel base. Therefore I would think that the same pattern was used before with...

I don't know but this picture from 1941 seems to tell me that they had close cab tippers in WWII. http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_www_deuce_ww2_p2.php You may have to scroll a little bit for it.

The link I posted you have to tell it a 1977 Dodge W200 with 5.2L V8. with AC. It looks like it's all copper to me and the size is about the same. Close to $300 bucks so that's in the price you're talking about Bob.

Your attachments are not working :( bummer!

I had a friend use black air line hose. I've also seen a person use black garden hose. Just walk through a good hardware store or even the big box do it yourself stores and I'm sure you'll find something that is the right size and color. I'm sure if you want to pay big bucks you could contact...
