    MEP-804 not running

    Following. I recently bought an MEP-004A that has the same symptoms. I spent a couple hours reading the TMs today, and it looks like I need to replace a few relays.

    1973 m35a2c

    That's a nice truck, but it's not a drop-side (the "C" in M35A2C).

    Help with cab coolant heater & coolant filter install for M35A2

    Sometimes the SS search doesn't do as well as Google. I did a Google search of SS and found a couple other threads. Bjorn from Crane Truck had success with a similar system, but he treated the filter as a bypass instead of running it inline with the heater. Here are a couple of the photos he...

    PS #461 Coolant Heater Instructions Thanks for your quick response. Attached is the photo I found here on SS for the PS article that talked about this. It looks like I got the correct port, but I'm not sure ...

    Help with cab coolant heater & coolant filter install for M35A2

    In the summer of 2014, I relocated my coolant cab heater into the cab under the map compartment in my A2 like they have them in the A3 trucks. Here are a couple of pictures of what that looks like: Picture #2 is where the lines come into the cab, from inside the cab. Picture #2 is where the...

    MEP-802A Fuel Leak - help!

    Hello, I am not a mechanic, so I hope you can give me some guidance. I read through the TM, and I found some pictures of where I have fuel leaking in my MEP-802A. I just replaced the liquid level sensor today, and as luck would have it, now I have a fuel leak. It's leaking at both injector...

    M1102 GL purchase - can it be towed home without a riser hitch?

    I don't have an 1102, but the TM makes it look like the lunette ring is about 24" off the ground. Good luck. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/trailer/TM9-2330-392-14P.pdf

    GP vs GL, which do you like better

    St. Francis, MN - Military Appreciation day and equipment show.

    Looking for good threads on super singles

    I agree 100% with what VPed said. I also had 395/85R20 XML on factory deuce rims when I got my truck, and I had the rubbing issue on a full right turn. I got a set of HEMTT wheels and had them recentered by Stazworks in Wisconsin. Then I put 395/85R20 XZLs on those new wheels and no more...

    2.5ton Deuce muffler question.

    I took a 2nd look at your photos, and it does look like the bracket is bent a bit. That's a thick bracket, from what I remember. I think if you can bend it back a bit, your problem is solved. The reason I originally suggested to loosen the bolts holding that bracket was that on my system, I...

    Intake flame heater delete

    Correct plug size to replace MFH fuel nozzle Ok, I just heard back from my local machine shop on this plug (Ickler in St. Cloud, MN). I dropped off the actual fuel nozzle/fluid restrictor (Item #25 in Fig. #27 "Flame Heater and Related Parts" from TM 9-2320-361-24P) and they measured it up...
