    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    Are they the kind that seal on the axle shaft or do they have 2 parts that seal against each other? If they seal against the shaft you may need to use some fine steel wool or very fine sand paper to clean up the seat. Also the type of seal that seals against the shaft will need to be pre lubed...

    Cruising speed and rpm?

    I have trucks some with 11.00 and some with 9.00 tires. It is easy to tell the 11.00 is taller just by looking at them. Also the 11.00 is 11 inches and the 9.00 is 9 inches. The 11.00-20 is about 11 inches of rubber on top + 11 inches of rubber on bottom + 20 inches for the rim or 42 inches...

    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    Just because the axle isn't turning doesn't rule out a venting issue. Atmospheric pressure changes alone can have an effect. I haven't replaced any axle seals on any of my M35s yet but I need to replace several. I am not sure what king of seal the M35 uses. Either way I wonder if it would help...

    GL Incompetence strikes again........

    I had a similar problem. They billed over my banks max daily limit. I called the bank, then had GL re run the card. I told GL I would pay by other method in the future to avoid the rejected payment. I purchased a very nice M105 trailer for around $100.00. I told them to go ahead and bill my...

    How to get a 2.5 home?

    A 5 Ton is very close to 26,000lbs. It is the magic number most states use to decide if you need a class B drivers license. Be sure you can legaly drive it before you buy it!!! A 2.5 ton is no problem as long as you use the off road specs when you register it.

    Napa muffler that will really quiet the truck down?

    I bought a muffler insert from Jeg's online. It fit inside the top exhaust pipe and only cost about $15.00. It doesn’t make it quite, but it does make it tolerable.

    What Tires/Yellow Wheels are on this Deuce ?

    They look like they are Caterpillar yellow. I wonder if they got them from some kind of tractor? They were probably moded to fit a 6-lug axle.

    Home Made Tow Bar

    I had a friend make a m35 - m35 tow bar for me. It looked good until you started to drive. I guess it wasn't aligned exactly right. It made the steer tires on the towed m35 turn all the way to the left and drag. I went to a local trailer supply store bought one for about $115.00. It was only...

    Diesel

    I used to live in California. I worked at an equipment rental store. We had underground gasoline and diesel tanks. We used to "guess" how much was used on or off road in the late '80s and into the '90s. We paid road tax based on what we estimated was used on the road. As far as sulfur in...

    truck end of the trailer brake glad hands-standar or special?

    They are standard. Any truck stop should have them. They also have the rubber gaskets that go in the glad hands.

    There is a mudfest every 6 months here in San Antonio. San Antonio is also a very tolerant military town. I drive a Deuce everywhere and have never had any trouble with SAPD. I live on the south east side and there is never to much traffic. You would just wan't to avoid loop 410 on the north...

    Might be a good time to replace the radiator cap.

    Water Injection

    On my LDT's the intake air passes through the intake manifold which also has watter passages and hoses going to it. I thought this made them intercooled. I thought all of them were intercooled. I think adding a "radiator" for the intake air makes them "extracooled" or something like that, i...

    Turbo Oil Leak

    I have seen this a lot when trucks are run at no load for extended periods. I like the idea of driving it but would probably keep my foot out of it for a while. I would run it at 35 or so for 10 min then go up to 40-45mph for a couple of hrs. I would listen to the turbo. Make sure it isn’t...

    Is this the man in charge of GL?

    He is probably the only one they could find that speeks english as a first language.

    C turbo vs D turbo

    Just a guess but I would say your "D" trucks have the fuel turned down. I would try turning up the fuel to see if that makes a diffrence. The "D" turbo design should be able to handle more fuel than a "C". Do any of the trucks have the FDC bypassed? This might make them start better in colder...
