Measure 1-1/2 inches up the dip stick from the full mark and mark that some how. Is that about where the oil is? Unless you are pulling the cut off at the IP and putting in a clean stick to pull out right away, you really could just be reading the oil wrong. Mine just stays around the X in...

One more thing to add about the windshield open, everything else closed cooling system. Kenny showed Kwai, Sermis and myself that trick at the 2007 GA rally. We then drove the M35 25 hours straight back to Texas. We actually started getting cold during the night on I-10 along the Coast. The...

If the engine stumbles, it can only be caused by lack of fuel. Now, that could mean a fuel system leak or the pink wire at the top of the IP bieng loose and bouncing around. If those two check out, then you are left with a bad IP getting worse. I just put a new IP on a truck that would...

Nope, wasn't me. I did drive it Saturday, but no closer than 45 miles from the toll road. Kwai didn't have his out playing that far from home as far as I know either.

Just to say it again. Check the bearings. I picked one up 2 weeks ago. I pulled the bearing cap on the drivers side, found nice fresh looking grease, a tire that turned easily and bearings that were adjusted correctly. No cotter pin however. I put some bailing wire in there so the nut...

The reason I know about the steak house is my best friend from the Corps at A&M, Boxcar here on SS grew up at the first house south of the river when you leave the steak house. His parents still live there. Last time I was there, we went up the road to eat.

We aren't trying to argue with you. It is just that white smoke while cranking means fuel to the cylinders and running and driving once started means everything else is ok. That leaves glow plug system or starter motor speed. How fast is it turning over?

The reason he suggested not hooking up the air is this. The M105 version with the breakaway air line locks the brakes up when air leaves it in a hurry. If there is a leak, the brakes will lock up. So, for an empty trailer and only 17 miles. Unless you just want to. Wait until you get home...

The best advice is what you have already seen on here many, many times. Download the TM's and read them. Read them over and over again until you understand just about everything. However, here is a fast course on CUCV electricals. They are basically a civilian Chevy truck. All the normal...

If the stuff can get to the MVPA meeting tonight by 1930 or so. I can take them to SA on the 1st where I have to spend a week at a teacher conference. Mark would probably be a better choise though because he lives there.

No doors helps around town and below 30 mph. I did that with my Gasser M35 a few years ago. However, above 30 mph or on long trips. Close everything except the front windshield. Open it just enough that it hits the hood when the hood is up. Once rolling, you will be comfortable. All the...

Adam, I have never tried it on glow plugs, but a helicoil like you mentioned should work. They work on high compression gas engine spark plugs with aluminum heads. Is it one you can get to or one you will have to pull the head to even get a drill into? Might as well go with the new head then.

Tom, Spicergear, two post up pretty much said it all about engine choices. He also has more experience with hills thatn I do because of where he lives. However, I had my 396/NV4500 powered M715 out in Colorado back in 2008. We were climbing mountains. Above 9,000 feet or so, the big Block...

I would suggest you start by checking each and every glow plug the way the TM tells you to. Which is with a DVOM. Then, filter, fuel lines, lift pump and finally the IP. The TM takes you through these steps as well. The 6.2 is an amazingly simple engine to work on. It either runs or it...

We have had big camp fires for the first 3 Rally gatherings. On the ground. Last fall, it got really, really cold. Nothing makes the bed of a M35 warm besides some kind of carpet/insulation on the floor is my belief as well. What exactly did you have in mind there Cooper? We have always...

Glad to help.

November 18-20 for me. I have a Scout camp out the December weekend.

My rebuilt Holley to spec bubbled over after idling at least 10 minutes. I kept adjusting the float down just a hair at a time until it would idle all day long without getting the burbles. Still had great WOT application at any rpm. I have no clue what I finally ended up at, just that it...

My trucks normally starts with about 1-2 seconds of cranking when cold. As soon as I hit the key when hot and it has been off less than 1 hour. Then it gets weird. 1-1/2 hour to about 3 hours in warm summer time normally means the heads do not get down below the 125° required to light up the...

I thought you just got your Zenith figured out? Both of my Gassers have the stock Holley on them still. Several members have also swapped in civy versions of the Gold Comet engine parts to get better performance.
