Somewhere in this thread I stated that I wanted to pick the truck up as little as possible and still run 35 x 12.50 tires. I also didn't want to cut the entire front fenders off to fit the tires. I really like the way my M1009's ride down the road. Firm suspensions seem to be my thing. M35's...

The exciter wires go to the relays under the dash. The diagnostic wire goes to the STC/ICE port as Rich said.

I think 5 M35 trucks is the most we have had in the past. My whistler M35A2 will not make it this year. We went to fire it up the other day and everything was dead. Power to and through the switch on the dash, but nothing working. We hot wired the starter to fire it up and move, but nothing...

I tried to follow along, but got lost with the different red wires. Could you take a picture of what you have in the truck now?

I'm glad you are getting this going again after all the unexpected troubles Rich. That is neat how they are going to just build a new part instead of welding the old part back on.

I was a very good hurdle runner in high school and even ran in college some. This build is just a really long hurdle race. Now that I have a transmission that should be ready to go. I have to get a controller. They are not cheap. There are 5 or 6 stand alone transmission control units out...

-6 AN seems to be the size B&M make all of their coolers. That is what size I was planning to go.

I need to do the AN fitting thing too. It seems the transmission case is straight threads, not NPT tapered. So if you replace the fittings on the case, be aware. I was going to do the stock TH400 metal lines to the front then add a cooler to the return from the radiator. Then I got to...

Rich, The adaptor the line screws to has to have some tubing inside the transmission. Here is a thread from another forum with pictures and everything: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gm-drivetrain-suspension-22/4l80e-conversion-premature-failure-beware-rear-cooler-line-fitting-492487/...

Don't forget trailers! MV's produce trailers too.

Forgot to mention the 1998 cooling line change. The 4L80E until 1997 had the cooler lines in the same basic spot as the TH400. They were back a little bit more compared to flywheel, but close enough that metal lines could be bent a bit to screw right in. 1998 had the return line moved back to...

I didn't know this either until last weekend. 1991-1993 4L80E units have a wiring harness unique to them and not compatible with anything newer or any of the aftermarket controller units. Besides changing the internal wiring harness, these years have to have the solenoids inside changed over...

Welcome back to the internet Joe. Lots of progress going on but no pictures. I redid the headliners, they are installed. Overhead console wiring was a major pain by itself. Add in the lighted mirror on the passenger side and the compass/thermometer mirror wiring and it becomes a mess. All done...

You have discovered first hand that military vehicles are herd animals. They are happy when there are others nearby. Beware that these two probably won't be your last. Very clean looking turbo install. Where does the exhaust exit the truck?

Colton and I have that weekend blocked off to attend. Thanks again for setting this up Lincoln.

I had almost the exact same issue when trying to get my Gl 6.2 to start when I put it in my m715. I had fuel in the filter, fuel coming out of the lift pump and fuel at the injectors. Yet, it would run for about 5-10 seconds then die. A minute or more of cranking would get to fire and then die...

How many times did you try and start it? Just because you have fuel seeping at the injectors doesn't mean all the air is gone. Also, if you IP was dry, it will take 30-45 seconds of cranking to get pressurized fuel to the injectors. Even then it will probably do no more that puff and chug a...

It is your truck to do with as you wish. I wanted to write that first so you don't think I am trying to tell you what to do because I am not. I have a '52 REO M35 with a 331 Gasser engine. I also have some sports car type gasoline powered cars I auto cross. Basically, they all fit in the...

Oh yeah, sometimes I forget people buy Dodge trucks that don't have a Cummins in them. Hmm.

I don't know the answer to your question Kenny. But, it actually brings up another question. Will the Cummins NV4500 input shaft fit the pilot bearing on a 6.2/6.5 and will a clutch for the bigger Cummins NV4500 fit the Chevy flywheel? My first post in this thread was all based on what I...
