    M35a2-3 Fuel Pump, Deal or no deal..?

    I wanted an honest opinion on this fuel pump. I found a source for $50.00 each. There is a comparison picture to the standard pump. I like the bigger pick up area with the stainless steel mesh. Looks like a plug and play to me.

    Air compressor intake run to Air Cleaner nipple.

    Has anyone ran the air compressor intake over to the manufactured supplied nipple on the air cleaner box. I would think this mod would compliment the fording features of the truck and is probably better anyway to get filtered air into the compressor instead of dust and dirt from the road and...
