    glow plug controller bypass

    not to resurrect the dead here, but Im tracing a fault and my searches brought me to the moon and back. I have only a manual push button on my GP's. Doghead, this guy went wrong grounding the blue line then adding another ground off the manual switch correct? I read it twice and it seems he...

    M923 on fire

    wow! Very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately anything is possible, and hopefully (sorry to say this) it wasn't the doing of someone. I also hope you find out the cause because if it IS something mechanical it could prevent further damage or injury! ( Hearing stories of people doing this always...

    steps behind front bumper on canadian m35's

    they used expanded on the sides, and in the drawings show an assortment of water drains on the structure and plywood bottom. the reason originally for the plywood was for a tarp to sort of seal it off. I would bet that an expanded bottom would be fine if you had a liner and lid for wet days

    Deuce questions

    Which is why I have a go-pro I can mount anywhere. Keep your hands on the wheel, and thumbs out! When those steering wheels grab, they freaking grab and you better be holding on lol. (thumbs out, can you guess why?)

    Engine Stand

    what I think Zout meant was use some stock to box in the ends, castor to castor. its possible the way it is, supported in the center only, to twist those welds and collapse. Remember, RIGID is always better. (thats what she said, seriously) Also couldn't hurt to add a random 2x4 wood bracing...

    Lots of guys looking for the Canadian M35 roof rack assembly, well someone using this manual can make them. (Note the longer hood latch due to the hood striking the basket and not opening as far)

    steps behind front bumper on canadian m35's

    The mod's were good ones for the most part. The Detroit Diesel was not the best one, however. It was gutless. Hydraulic winch, the baskets, the front bumper, the Allison automatic... yea steering box and pitman are now VERY hard to find, now that they were shredding the truck. On that note...

    M105a3 Sleeping Corridor

    now, not to play devil's advocate I really like the idea for the record and you did a great job, but have you considered the 'roll over' factor? It would be a shame to dump that trailer over with all that work done. I've seen more than one tipped and contents dropped, mind you all the ones I...

    steps behind front bumper on canadian m35's

    ya'll beat me to it, as always 11Echo is one step ahead. lol <-- no pun intended They make a great addition to any M35. Just add the winch extensions and fab in the plates. Its an easy mod. Definitely needed to move the BO Drive as it cast too much shadow. ps It will be cheaper to make...

    Broken start bolt

    I kept running into issues with this bracket when I first got my 1009. It was missing the bracket, but at the time I didn't know it even existed. Starter came loose on my twice. First time i didn't realize what was happening and it ate the gears off the pinion due to not seating correctly...
