I would decide if it's mechanically sound and if so, I would drive it. A M35A2 will get about 10 MPG so you can get an idea of the cost to drive it. It will also be handy to carry some of your stuff. If you don't have confidence that it will make the trip, you might be better off buying one at...
If you change the coolant, consider going to an ELC type. I change my trucks over to Rotella ELC when I get them. You don't need the supplemental SCA additives with Rotella ELC. Last I bought was in 2013 and the concentrate was $20 a gallon. You need 4 gallons of coolant (depending on system...
Sounds like a lot of work needed on that engine. I'd look around for another engine that is either rebuilt or one that I can rebuild and then change it out. Since it still runs you are not pressed for time so you can look around and maybe find a good deal. With that in mind, you can probably...
Reluctant to say it but on my test run yesterday I ran it up to 2800 rpm's for about 2 seconds! Little bit scarry!
Don't be scared Ray, I saw a thread last week where someone said they are turning their multi fuel 3200 rpms, or something crazy like that. :eek:
Oh, and ealse is else. :)...
If there is a problem in the axles, you could fry them by just pulling the drive shafts and letting the axles drive the differentials. If you pull the drive axles on the rear and caps on the front, nothing in the drive train will turn and you may save yourself an expensive lesson.
Many years ago co-worker was telling us a story at lunch time about a woman he was going out with. Evidently, she made the following comment, "who are you going to satisfy with that?" his reply, "me".
I guess the same would apply to mv's, they only really have to make you happy!
Pressurize the tank and see where the fuel leaks from. 20-30 PSI will do the trick.
I think about 5 psi will be better unless you are trying to make the tank round. It doesn't take much to show the leaks.
Pinz at the 2011GR ownen by stalker, went straight up a hill where nothing ealse would go!
Yeah, and after seeing it go through swamps at FL rallys, I think it must float too!
What 73m819 said. I pulled one of the front tandem hubs on my m929 to repair a brake issue. The hub was full of gear oil and I put it back together that way. I left the outer seal in (it was shot anyway) because I wanted a washer between the bearing and nut. I didn't install a seal in the...
I believe that is what I said. In an emergency situation, I doubt you can tell if the engine has stalled until it's too late. If you release the brakes and the wheels start turning, it will go in the direction it is pointing, and if the steering wheels are turned, it may make a violent turn...
My plan of action is to stay on the brakes until the truck stops if I lock up the brakes and the truck is doing anything other than going straight down the road. Personal experience has shown me that the vehicle goes in the direction of travel on a level surface when sliding even if the vehicle...
