I have replaced the cooling return hose that runs from my turbo back into the oil pan. It is the same hose that connects the blowby vent on top of the head that sends the gasses down to the street. They were old braided type hose that were painted when the block was re-built in 1986. I wanted...

For those of you that have restored your trucks... Did you mark your bumpers with the same markings that came on the truck whether you bought from GL, or private? Or Did you mark your truck with another units identification? Ie, your units ID if you were in the service. Or Did you make your...

Has anyone bought a new set of Air Horns for their truck(s)? I know the 5 Ton also takes the same set as the Duece. I'm interested in buying new from the Manufacturer.

While driving last night around town, I started to smell anti-freeze. Hmm? Then I started to see it in the cab. Hmm? Wow? I stopped opened the small Left side hood, and saw that I was leaking coolant from the hose that connects up to the oil cooler. Hmm? Did I blow a hole in a new hose? Maybe...

For everyone that has been asking... Here are the pics of my truck start to finish.

I decided to replace my accelerator on the duece. Just because I want the interior to look a little more new. It goes along with all the other replaced new items. Anyway, I bought the pedal from Saturn Surplus, and attempted to unscrew the old one, to find that 38 years of dirt and crud have...

I removed my mudflaps to replace the bed, and I really like the rear without them, especially with the singled out hubs. Has anyone else removed them and not re-installed them? I am still re-building the rear, and have to paint, so I haven't put them back on yet. Can't decide whether they...

Without taking the grease cap off, and undoing the cotterpins to play with the sizes, can anyone tell me what the socket size of the M416 Axle nuts are? Are deep sockets required? I believe they are the same for the M101 CDN2, and this is what the Canadian manual gives as a size. Anyone...

I am going to be replacing the axle seals in my truck's fwd rear right wheel on Friday. I have all the parts coming from Memphis Equipment, however I was going to order from McMaster-Carr, or go to the local auto parts store and get a piece of rubberized gasket sheet to make the key-way seal...

As the title puts it. What are the differences between the three trailers? Is it wheel size, and capacity, or wheel size and actual body dimensions? Also, I'm not entirely sure but are they the only singlle axel trailers besides the M416, and CDN M101? I think there is also an Ammunition...

Well I thought I would ask this as a two part question. First, what is the best safety wire to use, and best way to attach it to the horn button wire lead to remove it and replace it through the bottom of the gear box? Second, when I run the new wire lead, obviously, I am going to loose some...

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a New, Old Stock M35A2 Fuel Tank? Mine seems to have a pin hole leak in the bottom by the front strap. It will do for now but I will need to replace it soon. I was told that the bracket inside the the tank that holds the pump tends to rust...

I went ahead, and replaced my old steering wheel, and also upgraded my horn button on the new wheel. It's nice to get rid of that 38 year old cracked wheel and dried out horn button. I am looking for new USGI steering gear box rubber bushings. These are the plugs, that hold the steering gear...

So I have decided that the truck needs an updated NOS steering wheel. I bought one from Saturn, and it appears to be correct. The diameter of the wheel and spokes are the same. I pulled the horn button, and now need to pull the wheel. With this cold spell, it may be a few more days. Anyway...

So I have this new M35, and as it reaches the end of the restoration I need to check or adjust the brakes. I replaced the rubber hoses, and I bled the system as well as introduced fresh DOT 5 to it. 1st I did the airpack and then all 6 wheels. After the bleed, the pedal doesn't catch high. It...

I am replacing my hoses and temp. sending unit this weekend. Obviously, I will need to refill the coolant. Does anyone know if Dex Cool, can be used? Is there a benefit over Regular coolant? Will GM's Dex Cool make the motor run poorly or better?

I need new batteries! What brand, and part numbers do I need? Also is there a sealed Gel cell that is maintenence free, so I can hook 'em up and not worry about them again until I need to replace?

Okay, so for those of you that live in New York State, How did you register your M35A2's? Historical, Commercial, Passenger? What part of, or did you use the entire ID No. stamped onto the data plate? I know that the first 8 positions are generally the Military Reg/ hood number, but did anyone...

What is the difference between the M35, a1, a2, a3, a4 series? I think there is an a4. I'm New to these trucks and am considering a purchase but I just don't know enough about them yet. Is the military going to keep any of them, or will they all go to surplus auctions?

This is my restored Trailer.
