In short: reduce wear and tear on the front part of the drive train. The axle shafts are permanently connected to the front wheel hubs. Even with 6x6 disengaged, the front wheels spin the axle shafts and the front drive shaft passively. This sucks power and causes wear on the assembly for no...

You are in luck. You found this web site and forum. A little bit of searching would provide you with this: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cad-m35-wiring-diagram.15778/ Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

100% on the re-torque. The new style head gaskets are said to be "no re-torque" but putting the torque wrench to the head nuts after a few heat cycles certainly does not make it seem that way!. Mine, too, had plenty of loose ones, despite having been torqued to spec initially. I sincerely...

Sorry to chime in, but I had the exact same issue with the "military" TruckLite LEDs, twice. And they ain't cheap. Long story short, it's a defective LED. Methinks that sub-par TruckLite "military " LED s that either failed Quality Control or were rejected by the government made or make their...

Have you contacted Tom Bauer directly? You never know what he finds on a shelf. It might not be a complete kit, but maybe parts to get you started?

I would use this as an opportunity to look and learn what the different parts are on the engine and what they do. There should not be a coolant leak, but I would stay away from rapid assumptions such as "it's the head gasket". Start at the top. There are the coolant manifolds with the short...

I found the thread and updated my post above. It seems that a brake cylinder hone works well to increase the ID of the bushing.

I know that one of mine fit like a glove, the other did not (and became a victim of my anger) and I subsequently learned that, yes, the bushings do need to be reamed to fit. As they say...weird. But true. Here is the thread I was thinking of...

I just wish you were, I don't know....more EXCITED about it? LOL

Yes - a quick job to zoom the eight top cover bolts off. I would add to the already mentioned possible issues that you may have a bent shift fork - overzealous soldier A wailing on the shifter can accomplish that.

When I am stuck, I peek over to the tractor application of that engine...White/Oliver 2-135 and 2-155. Something like that: https://reliancepowerparts.com/Product?productGuid=R380384&partListId=330025 I would have thought that vendors here would have camshaft bearings in stock, though. No?

I cannot confirm that. Let's see how long my new zippered ones last. I often think that canvas boots might be best if the truck is not heavily off roaded....but they only exist for the old Deuces Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

I think the #1 takeaway is to never, ever ask. Just carry the paper and a firm conviction of its validity and pretend you never heard otherwise! [emoji16] Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

Nothing like a fearless tear-into-it-and-get-her-done build! Admire that. Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk

I just installed zippered from Big Mike after the well fitting oversized from Western Canadian Rockwell were torn after 4 years. I really liked those but I'm not ripping the knuckles apart just for boots. It's just a pleasantly miserable job to do axle boots that takes much longer than you...

No, the "multifuel" capacity is rooted in the engine's design. You do not need the fuel density compensator for that. The FDC measures the viscosity ("thickness") of the fuel and attempts to increase or decrease how much fuel is injected to compensate for the different amount of energy a given...

Fascinating. I was initially more thinking along "which of my contacts can I call to get this guy a MAN D2840 and transmission shipped in a conex?" but you are going wayyyyy beyond that! Looking forward to updates!

@oreo9688 I started on mine by opting for a replacement takeout engine, rather than diagnosing and fixing my knocking, smoking one. Ya, right. I thought..well, before I drop the replacement engine (it was running ok) in, I should do the head gasket because there is a trickle of oil. Seeing I...

Knocking is never good, especially when the oil pressure drops with it. If you just picked up the truck, you likely planned on servicing it anyway. How do you feel about dropping the oil pan and checking main and rod bearings? Chances are, you find one or more worn. You can put new ones in from...
