    My 1952 M135 Build

    Looks good. Like the rims ! Do you still have the wench ? I had one several years ago. Does it still have the gmc 302 ? It would go pretty good on flat ground with that 4 speed hydromatic. Over about 65 that front end would start to dance 😉

    HVO / Renewable Diesel?

    There’s been several posts lately on the moisture and corrosive nature on these fuels , other issues with long term storage or mostly vehicles that have long sitting storage building up algae.

    Countersunk bolt removal

    You may want to try “rocking” the bolt. Loosen - tighten wit lots of penetrant. Can you spray from the bottom up ? Soak them bolts 💦

    Are 6TL Batteries worth it?

    When I got my 1123 it had batts in it. One was doa and the second charged up good. I had a set of 6tl’s in my Duce , one died and the other was still good. Replaced the Duce batts with group 31’s and put the 6tl’s in the 1123, so far so good. The reason I put the 31’s in the Duce was they were...

    Are 6TL Batteries worth it?

    If your trying to use the batts from the funvee to do anything other than start it. Try and re think what your goal is. Running your house-toys off batts with a solar cell are not going to be reliable with the 6tl/tn or even the group 31. All are made for starting and slow recharge. Not any...

    M35a2 knock

    That would be way better than a bad bearing

    M35a2 knock

    I hate to say it but it sounds like a bad wrist pin bearing. A rod bearing would sound more at the bottom. Pull your oil filters and see if there’s some metal in there. If you don’t see anything in there. Drain the oil and check the magnets on the plugs.

    Stuck ujoints

    I would spend a little more time under the truck with a grease gun looking for fittings in the near future. Might save you more time in the future using a hammer. 😉

    M109A3 (M35A2) Shop Van overheating .... my steps to cure

    Gauges , sending units are not really as accurate as we would hope. More of a guide , loose wires , bad grounds etc. years of shaking around will cause things to go out of calibration. I have watched mine just start bouncing all over on a flat pice of ground. Put in a different gauge , sending...

    Starting research ld 465 1c turbo upgrade

    It also has a larger intake and air filter. Turbo won’t do squat if you can’t get air into it.
