Hello fellow 2.5 ton owners. I drove my M35A2 the other day with no known issues. I walked out to fire it up for some light work about a week later and it was electrically dead. Immediately I though that the batteries were dead as the heater switch was left on in the low position. I opened the...

I want to replace the wiring in both tail lights and both front marker lights so I am looking for a source for the contacts and insulators that are used in the lights that are crimped or soldered onto the wires (light bulb contact). The reason for this is that I am smoking turn signal f lasher...

While driving my M35A2 n my trip of 870 miles to it's new home the engine oil pressure pegged out at about 2300 RPM with the engine temp in the normal range for cruising down the road. At idle the RPM fluctuates from mid-range to pegged out after pulling over at an exit. The engine ran fine the...

Hello. I pulled my front drive flange off to install the locking hub and the outer bearing was badly rusted. I urgently need to get the hub off to install new bearings & outer races and get my truck on the road. I am very familiar with the drivetrain and have replaced the races, brakes, and...

I have a running, driving M35A2 with functioning M105 trailer to move from Baton Rouge or new Orleans or Lafayette,LA to Knoxville or Nashville, TN. I would like to drop it off by Feb 1st but there is no hurry for delivery. Any of those areas for drop off and pickup are general areas. Please...

Has anyone ever taken a lens cover assembly from an aluminum housing tail light and installed it in the composite (plastic) light? Or, have you taken a composite lens assembly and installed it on the aluminum light housing? Same with the front lights. Are the covers interchangeable between the...

I purchased by M35A2 W/W from the last owner over in Texas. Got it 300 miles down the road and the truck started acting like it was lacking power. Pulled over to put more diesel in as the last stop was 1/3 gasoline and 2/3 diesel. Some trucks don't like gas and the lack power with gas in the...

Was out driving a friends truck tor a short drive with the empty 105 trailer attached. Nothing in the truck except me and troop seats. Going up a small hill the truck got very weak, rpm dropped, and it lacked power for 3 seconds and then started working ok. Same thing again in 1/4 mile. This...

I am 95% sure that I found a truck for me. I am a former Deuce owner but sold my last M35A2C a few years back for stupid reasons :(. I will need to drive it about 370 miles to get it home if the deal goes through. I want to purchase locking hubs for the front and was thinking about putting a...

I have been plagued with a fuel contamination problem for a couple of years. I have added a small pre-filter as a temporary measure to protect my electric fuel pump. I have changed the filters, flushed the lines, and even took the tank off and scrubbed it clean. I figured that since the problem...

Anyone in the Louisiana chapter have some NDT tires mounted lately in the Baton Rouge, or Lafayette, or New Orleans areas? I have brand new STA NDT's to mount with new tubes and I am no longer 29 years old (LOL). I want an older shop that knows what they are doing when mounting bias ply tires...

Can someone measure their M38 (Not M38A1) front fender from the top edge out to the outside edge of the fender for me. I just want the top flat surface left to right dimension. Thank you, jimm1009 email; m1009jim@yahoo.com

I found a place that offers a smooth tread tire in a 6.50 and 7.00 x 16. I am not a fan of some manufactures but these size tires are almost impossible to find now. Any suggestions for a smooth tread or a modern mud and snow without being a radial? Am not interested in NDT or NDCC treads and...

Hollow fellow MVers, I know that this has been covered before in other forums but I want to find a generator for my M38 to convert it to 12 volts. I want it to look very close to original outwardly but a small change in appearance under the hood will not bother me. I know that there are...

I am about 95% sure that I am relocating from Louisiana to the Cincinnati area but will reside in Kentucky. My M38 and M1009 have no license plates and are registered using the VIN in lieu of a plate. Does Kentucky allow this? I am also looking to purchase a 5 ton up in that area and will want...

I have owned a few M35 series and my last and most favorite was an M35A2C. It is gone now and have a M51 truck available for a good price. Any advantages to this truck or unique things that I should know about. Right up front I want to remove and sell the OEM dump bed and probably bob it...

I have the notorious click click problem. I have a new starter and the problem did not go away with the old worn out one. I changed the relay under the dash and put a brand new one according to the sticky on this formum. I changed the batter cable from the buss bar to the starter (1 gage) but...

I am humbling looking for the NAPA part number for the motor mounts used on our CUCV trucks. Mine is an '84 M1009 although they are all the same. The civilian truck (gas & diesel) does not use the same mount as the bolt pattern is smaller and when I found one a while back I tore off the box lid...

In reading the TMs and the various threads on the CUCV vacuum pump I can find no pass or fail reading for the pump. It seems like there should be a minimum reading for the pump by itself. Logically the pump should be capable of at least 20" HG if the vavle adjustment tells you to pull 20" on the...

I went on line last night to one of those web sites that has a GM mechanic that is available for questions. I was told that the engine driven fuel pump is supposed to have 7 to 11 PSI output @ idle. Does anyone know if this is true? I can't find a reference for that in the -34 TM or in the...
