What is that supposed to mean?? Really, I just come on here asking advise from folks that seem to be pretty well intentioned. If I bothered you, I apologize. But the man with the opinion you ridiculed is the same man that drove one of these WWII trucks at the Josin Resivour in Korea, if you...

OK, here's another idea. A local mechanic friend of mune says this will not work. My Dad, who drove the older WWII trucks in Korea says this will work. He says to simply By-Pass the air pack and go basic hydraulic brakes. What do yo guys thinKK?? Thanks

Problem continues, actually getting more frequent.... I rebuilt the master cylinder, which looked fine inside. I also totally removed the electric temporary emergency brakee. Bled the brakes and got good pedal. Took a ride and have the same problem. I noticed that while braking and working...

We have finally got this 1952 M135 running pretty decent. Now we can concentrate on all the smaller things. One thing I just experienced though that is no small matter is a brake problem. Occasionall when applying the brakes it feels like the brake pedal is against something that will not let it...

THis is great information and I very much appreciate everyones help. Lots of things to check out. I will give them a try one at a time and see what happens. Thanks to all, Brad

Friends, OK, I set the carb float as directed, while still on the truck. Then turned on the fuel pump (not original) and watched it fill the bowl while still apart. Ran up to about 1/4" to 1/8" from top and the needle valve stopped it like it should. Then put it all together with the idle...

Yes sir, very similiar, but not near as bad. A momth oe so ago right after the change we fired it up and it ran pretty decent but with the same little cough or backfire when accerating out of idle. We thought it was probably a timing issue and a friend with the right equipment was going to set...

HEy Guys, I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your support and help with this problem. What has me so frustrated is that this is my Dad's truck. Sixty years ago he was at the frozen chosin, and he's 81 now. He's still ok but not near what he was last year. We been on this truck for three...

M135 is continuing to drive me nuts. Points are not burned, Coil is not hot. I checked the gov diaphram, no holes. Thought my carb float might be sticking open cause fuel pump keeps running. And can smell gas in crank case oil?? Took that apart and tried adjusting float. Now I got gas going...

Thanks for all the help fellas. I should have said earlier that I did rebuild the carb and replaced the pump piston completly with a new one. However I also replaced the idle needles, and they seem to do nothing when adjusted. The old ones I removed did, Perhaps I will put those back? Regards

I really am frustrated by this truck. It starts right up, and once I baby it thru accelerating it seems to run ok at high rpm. But it just doesnt want to accelerats from idling. It will cough and back fire thru the carb everytime. Like it doesnt want to take gas. I checked and I have vacume to...

It's me again. I hope you guys dont mind my questions. But I find you all a great help. The M135 my Dad and I are working on just doesnt run right. He had the engine rebuilt about 10 yrs back and it has ran very little. It just seems to not want to take gas. It idles fine but has trouble when...

One of the wires is broken off flush with the back of my blackout lite so I figured I'd try and take it apart. Which I have done without breaking anything. But obviously. it's not meant to be taken apart, but replaced. Can these still be found for sale? Thanks as always, Brad

Sometimes when pushing the brake peddle it seems like it is hitting something solid and will go no farther? Usually the brakes are fine and work perfectly, but about a quarter of the time the peddle will start down and then it's just like the linkage was hitting something solid. But it is not...

Have a 1952 M135 that I need to find a source for seat covers? I know about New Life Canvas, very nice and very helpful. Problem is they dont have a match. My passenger seat covers are pretty decent. They are oliver green vinly. And thats what I want to match for the drivers seat and back. My...

Not sure if I should be asking this on this forum, but I gotta start somewhere..... Am restoring a Willys late 40's jeep CJ3A (not actually military I know) Here's the problem. Jeep runs with key straight up, and can also be removed, keeps runnig. Also runs to right, can't remove. Off to left...

Thanks so much. But what is a CCKW ?? This all looks like old chevy stuff? Regards

Friends, It seems we have successfully changer our 1952 M35 over from automatic transmission to standard shift. This effort was greatly aided by the fact that we also had a parts truck that had been previously changed over. In fact we switched the entire engine, bell housing and tranny. Even...

Thanks so much for all the help on the seal. Any idea of the wheel cylinder cup sizze?? Thanks

1. I have a couple leaking wheel cylinders. Before I tear it down I'd like to have the correct cups or kits. What size are the cups? 2. Seems the rear main seal is leaking. I just started running this older new rebuilt engine after maybe 10 yeras. Almost no time on it but it's been...
