Open the hood and make sure the solenoid is actually in the up / retracted position when it is cranking. Use a zip tie to hold it up if necessary.

It's not exactly related to the 'camper' portion of my truck, but I just finished an upgrade to the truck. A while back I decided that I wanted extra fuel capacity, so I added a tractor tank on the right hand side in place of the cargo truck toolbox. To keep from making the plumbing more...

They put the hub assembly stuff in with the CTIS maintenance in TM9-2320-272-24-2. Front hubs start on section 3-460, on my copy it is pdf page 646.

That's the kit for an M35 or M809 cab, but it has all the parts you would need to attach the 2 passenger mounts. In an M35 cab, it uses the L bracket to hold them both near the center of the cab. The M939 mounts them both to the flat surface of the dash and doesn't use that bracket. The M939...

Just be aware that the rifle mount kits are different for a 939 than they are for the older trucks with the same cabs as the m35. The 939 mounts 1 to the driver's door and 2 to the passenger side dash. The only place I could find that has these is TNJ Murray and their price is significantly...

Yeah that kind of surprise is always fun! Thanks for the kind words. My guess on the rust is that it got there over many years of being parked outside and having humidity get pulled in through the normal vent fitting. I know it hasn't been operated in any water in 10+ years between me and the...

When I took my deuce on its first trip out of hibernation this year, I was rewarded with brakes locking up on my way back home. So after inspecting things, I found out that my master cylinder had rusty sludge in it and likely that had plugged up the compensating port in the master cylinder...

I wanted to clarify some additional information on adapting a Cummins 6BT engine to the Spicer 3053a transmission in an M35A2. This came up in another thread, so to avoid derailing that thread I started this new one. A link to the original thread is below...

Unfortunately the part number you gave me for the flywheel is for the flywheel itself without the ring gear, and there are at least 2 different ring gears that work with it. Some are 8/10 pitch, some are 10/12 pitch. So without knowing more information, I can't be sure which pitch of starter...

Sorry for my mistake, edited my post to refer to yours. That's what I get for attempting to help without being in the shop. He will still need an adapter, and depending on his choice of flywheel and flywheel housing, potentially for a depth change and not just diameter. I am gathering parts...

What are the part numbers for your flywheel, ring gear if it is not original to the flywheel, and flywheel housing? G has the right information on the pilot bushing. I was going off memory and mixed up the ID with the OD. You will still need something to adapt to the 306 bearing that has an ID...

Ah, I understand your question now. As long as you scuffed the tubing up well prior to applying the POR-15 system to it, I think it would stick fine. The biggest problem in my mind would be getting even coats on tubes that run vertically. The stuff doesn't go down well in thin coats, and seems...

To be honest, the only new steel that I've used it on was hot rolled sheet with very thin mill scale. This was on the patch panels that I put on the roof in this latest round - every other time I have used the stuff it has been on old metal. Keep in mind that I'm not an expert with this stuff...

I have some of the cartridge style filters like you showed, and on the package it said that they were for organic solvent particles. I think they are intended to filter out mists like with paint vapor, etc. I know that when I use those to go into the crawl space under the house, I can't even...

https://www.por15.com/ POR-15 is a system of rust neutralizing and encapsulating paints that I think actually come close to doing what they are advertised to do, which is rare these days. Their metal prep appears to act similarly to phosphoric acid in that it eats the rust away and leaves a...

I did decide to add a few minor upgrades while I had things apart. It had always been a bit stuffy inside without the AC when using the windows for ventilation, so I added in a roof vent in the main space, which actually helped the circulation a lot. I cleaned up the wiring to the TV so it...

That's one of the few sure things in life... death, taxes, and rust in an M109 van body! Like peashooter said, you can get into most areas of the M109 box, but almost every part of it is steel and will eventually rust no matter what you do. All of the effort you put in just buys time, and the...

I don't have much new with it right now honestly. The biggest 'upgrade' I have done to it was actually building a barn big enough to park it in. I feel a lot better about it not rusting away with it out of the elements. I did find a leak in the roof at the end of the 2019 camping season which...

My build thread is in the 5 ton modifications section, but feel free to move it to a camper specific area if you make one. Mine is set up more for short trips rather than as an expedition vehicle, but I still enjoy it...

Have you changed the filter? It is inside the reservoir if I am remembering correctly. Wix PN 51418.
