    LDT-465-1D

    I have the 210-34-2-1, 2-2, 210-34P, etc. but non of these manuals actually states including the -1D engine. All of the manuals except the -34P are 03April81 and the 34P is May 1974. I'm assuming that the -1D was added after 1981 but it is really unusal that they did not update the manuals, or...

    Truck without front drive shaft and hubs

    I took my front driveshaft off yesterday due to the non-airshift transfercase, removed the front drive hubs, removed the left forward axle shaft, and temporarily installed front drive hub on rear. Drove it about a mile down the paved road and back for a test. What a difference in handling! I...

    NAPA Muffler

    I purchased my muffler from NAPA today (and intake elbow). My muffler box had been opened and was taped shut. The muffler was o.k. (never installed) but there were no directions inside and the box is not marked with directions either. I know that this sounds silly but there is a In and an Out...

    TM question

    I found a TM for sale. 9-2320-209-35. Described as "Depot Level" for our trucks but the older version dated June 1965. I thought that the 209-34 was Depot level but it seems to be missing some information too. 209-34 doesn't seem to be the in-depth level that a contractor or Government...

    I understand the socket for the front hub nuts is 3 inch. Anyone have a a line on the socket designed for this? I know that SnapOn and Mac have it but don't need it that bad. There should be a manufacturer for the thin wall ones similar for use with the older M38 and CJ series jeeps. Thanks...

    CUCV key code

    The key code for the U.S. CUCV is 73Y2 as delivered from the factory. This is the B-key or commonly called the Trunk Key (rounded edges). If your truck was loaned to another agency, they may have changed the locks but probably/ usually not. A sure way to know is to pull one of the door...

    M35 series question

    I will be picking up my first M35A2 in a month or so. Have been reading and watching this list and G503 too. Would it be prudent to remove the front drive hubs and rear axles shafts and install temporary hub covers or covers without shafts for flat towing? I do want locking front hubs but don't...
