    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    Because he is running around doing honey do chores & asked me to post this for him. He will be along in the next few hours or day. No, this is not my truck or my problem; just trying to help a fellow SS member.

    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    Gimpy, I hope for their sake, you are right. I have a 1988 Toyota 4 WD truck that did that after 100,000 miles; the front tranny seal just gave out & went to leaking. I'll pass on the info...

    Uprights(staves, stakes) for M35A2C dropside cargo cover

    Without the troop seats, you don't have the height you need to even walk around inside after you install the cover. I just purchased several of these cover kits & installed one on my truck that had the troop seats in it already. It fit perfectly as long as you don't have drop side like I do; if...

    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    If I remember correctly, the FDC has not been bypassed; but the heater core was leaking & it was bypassed with a kinked heater hose back to the block. I was told back in March that the brake fluid type didn't matter by the owner's son, so I realized what I was dealing with & decided to pass on...

    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    I called the guy who drove it yesterday & asked him if he checked the oil before running it & the answer was no... He said it smoked out of the exhaust when it first started up, but cleared up down the road. I asked if the slobber tube was blowing smoke or dripping oil, all I got was a puzzled...

    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    The truck was driven about 40 to 45 miles to Summerfield. I informed the driver what to check & look for as a pretrip inspection, but he just ignored me. Nothing was done to ready the truck for driving other than put 5 gallons of diesel fuel in it. The oil that was coming out was black oil & not...

    Problem with an oil leak on a LDT-465 White Engine

    A fellow SS member has been tasked with recovering a 1982 M35a2 to central Florida for the new owner. I posted pictures of it last year when I was looking @ it to buy. The problem arose when it was transferred from Ft McCoy to Summerfield, it started leaking what seemed to be engine oil out of...

    Thanks for your help - M1102 pickup at Nellis AFB

    It towed home well didn't it? Did you air up the tires to about 30 to 35 psi to stop the bouncing, that is something that folks forget about. Enjoy your new trailer!

    Average Joe's first Deuce - Mods Thread

    Your truck was very well painted tan & you have made it that much nicer with the added stenciling. Keep your mechanical side up as well & you will have a top notch truck that will take you most anywhere you want to go, plus stop for any emergency along the way. I have an '87 that was painted the...
