Here are pictures along with the latest rundown on the electric fan project. First --- Beware ... the radiator isn't centered with the grill on the M35. I centered the fan on the radiator only to find it was about an inch off center when I installed the grill. The 24V Spal fan info was...

Hello Lee, The fan is manufactured by Spal. Go to www.spalusa.com. I bought a 24 volt #30102540 ... VA18-BP 70/LL-865 fan (16HP) It's a 16", 2360 CFM fan. I also bought the computerized thermostat. Good Luck

By the time the truck was delivered I had a little over 20K in it. Considering stock deuces are often bought for $3,500, 20K is indeed a lot of money. But hold on for just a minute --- factor this in: The average stock deuce doesn't have a winch, air power steering, lockout front hubs, air...

Hello Mudguppy, As I understand it, my wheels were built by taking stock M35 wheels and removing (cutting off) the outer split ring retaining area. A piece was then cut from a standard bud wheel and welded to the "cut" area on the M35 wheel. I hope this makes sense. The end product is an 11"...

Hello BC, Good Idea --- great concept. Thanks.

Evidently the "winter-front" picture won't post because of a pixel (size) problem. Anyway, I hope that's the problem because it won't post. Sorry about that.

Lee ... You're right, the arctic winter front does make your deuce look cool. Not necessarily so with mine --- see attached picture. Looks like we will install the fan tomorrow. A new post with pictures will follow. I'm planning on completely blanking out the radiator except for where the 16"...

Ain't it great when we buy something from somebody and they meet and exceed your quality expectations! It's even better when the product they deliver confirms a gut feeling we had about a seller --- especially when the item we purchased involves a substantial amount of money. We tend to raise...

Here are the promised pictures of the Goodyear 395/85 MTVs that replaced the Michelin 1400 XLs. This is the first time I've attached anything to a post --- hope it works. Sorry --- I don't have pictures of the Michelin 1400 XLs. You can compare the difference by going to www.M35MonsterTruck.com

Hey Lee when you mention a recirculating electric coolant heater are you talking about freeze plug heaters and/or a tank heater? If yes ... I've already gone that route. If no, "please" advise as you may be on to something. With my bobbed, and therefore lightened deuce I'm unable to get the...

RE: none They're very good with mustard

I bought John's (Jatonka's) second truck (www.M35MonsterTruck.com) and I concur with his comments about 1600s being too much for a stock deuce. My truck came with 1400s and I just recently changed to 395s. I personally like the smaller 395s better than the 1400s. It remains to be seen whether I...

Saturn has 'em in stock. I bought one tpday.

Does anyone know if wig-wags are still legal? Older trucks had them mounted above the drivers windshield. When the air pressure was low the wig-wag arm would fall in front of the drivers field of vision alerting him that thee was a problem. They were neat little doo-dads --- I've been looking...

Hey Lee, Your Aug 07 post was a good one as it ran the bases on the subject. Not long ago I considered bypassing the FDC because I had read on the forum that it makes the engine run smoother --- or something like that. Had I done so it would have been a mistake. It's always good to know the...

RE: Goodyear 395/85 MVTs VS. Michelin 14:00 XLs on Bobbed De Oops --- Yes 46.7 was a typo --- it should have been 49.4. I hate it when I do that --- thanks for bring it up. Yes, most of my driving is on pavement though I sometimes get into the woods. I use my deuce as a firewood, hunting &...

RE: egt spread... Hello Lee, I agree with that you say. It's just that I made a mistake when I installed the thermocouple and am trying to be lazy by factoring in the temp spread.

RE: Goodyear 395/85 MVTs VS. Michelin 14:00 XLs on Bobbed De Yes, I have front lock outs and I've also got a 24 volt electric radiator fan that will replace the "always on" water pump fan. I'm in hopes the fan mod will also add fuel economy. The fan mod is also to hopefully help the LDT heat...

Today I removed the 14:00 (46.7 OD) Michelin XLs from my bodded deuce www.M35MonsterTruck.com and replaced them with 395/85 (46.7 OD) Goodyear MVTs. (Updated pictures will be added soon) WOW --- What a difference!!! It's a different truck with the MVTs!!! The 395/85s make the truck feel more...

When I installed my pyro we positioned the thermocouple in the echaust header pipe approx 2 inches from the turbo. I've debated moving it upstream of the turbo but being a little on the lazy (and busy) side hate to do so especially since I'm running a stock pump setting. Does anyone have an...
