    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I recently rebuilt all axles, installed new wheel cylinders, a new master cylinder, a take out air pack (new short version I partially disassembled and found to be completely clean inside), and a remote fluid reservoir (from Summit). The last step was the remote reservoir. Up until then I was...

    Wheres Waldo with the compressor wrenches.

    Along those lines, it could be as simple as someone laying it on copier scanner bed (carefully) making a copy or scanning to file and posting it here.

    leak of my brake fluid around the banjo fittings.

    Funny, I plan to work on mine this Sunday! I'm in NOPO. What area of the People's Republic you in? I'll send a PM with my #. This is covered in another thread. If you search for "brake lines" "1245"or similar you should find it. It is a thread started by peashooter. The following is part of...

    Wheres Waldo with the compressor wrenches.

    The short answer is YES! Can some one take one of those wrenches, lay it on a piece of paper, run a pen around it (to get the outline), and pop the paper in the mail for me? If so, please send me a PM and I'll provide my address. It would take me a few minutes to make a solid model and could...

    Deuce Halogen Headlight Upgrade

    I'm not aware of any limit to wattage, yet new vehicles have been through increasing regulatory burden requiring a minimum brightness level at a distance. Not aware of a maximum. It my state (OR) there is a law about having add-on lights and keeping them covered when on freeways. It's been a...

    Cab Roof Support Bows

    Rusty, I would think one of the guys that have a number of trucks sitting around would have them. Also, some of the guys in your neck of the woods commonly have spare parts. Do you know Brad or Stephanie? I know Stepanie in on SS from time to time and is heavily involved in the Ft Worden...

    Throttle Stop Shaft O-ring Size

    I look forward it it! Please include pics. I have a couple little leaks in or around the IP and assume the o-rings haven't been replaced since the truck was rebuild in 93. I would like to get in and pro-actively replace the o-rings and see if that also helps with the slow leaks.

    Throttle Stop Shaft O-ring Size

    Nitrile is Buna-N, which is the o-rings they have on the shelf at the local HW store for plumbing at about 10 cents. Calling it "Military" or "Tactical" does not make it "better." If you look up a chemical compatibility chart for elastomers you'll find that Viton (my top choice for many...

    Often brakes parts, flywheels, pressure plates, etc have the min. thickness cast or marked using a stamp. Do you see anything on it?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'll say! Bet your son appreciates the muffler, I wouldn;t let mine ride until I installed one. Congrats on the cargo cover. Hope it didn't set you back too much. Any chance you have hunks of the old one? My truck is desert tan also. Practically twins!

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Thanks for the pic waterguy! It looks like they made a ~1x8x12 or so bracket and welded it in-between the frame rail and A2 bracket to extend it down about 3 inches or so.

    Toggle switch air tank drains possible?

    My truck has simple pull cables with a ring that hangs on a loop on the frame rail. When I shut it off for the day I reach in and pull for about 45 seconds and it clears both tanks. It's on my to-do list to get an air drier on the intake of the compressor.

    Tried to adjust fuel and now truck wont start

    I've never gotten into that myself, but understand that turning the screw vs running it straight in and out will cause a piece of the mechanism behind there to come loose and fall down inside the IP. It's supposed to be a booger to get it apart and get it, especially if it falls in the wrong...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I'm using 365\80R20's which is the metric version of the A3 14.5 x 20, so I'm sure it can fit. My concern is how the tire will meet the spare mount. My offset will prevent it from touching the same as the A2 wheel. Can you send me a couple pics of the A3 spare mount (trying to understand if...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I have an M35A2 and have put MRAP wheels on it with adapters. With the adapters the flange is effectively inset about two inches, where the orginal wheels have an offset of about an inch to allow them to be dualled. I would like to mount my spare on the spare bracket; however, the deep inset...

    Newbie looking for some head gasket advise/wisdom

    rustystyud is correct (as usual)! If that turbo is leaking you're very lucky it's leaking externally. If it starts to leak into the compressor side significantly you will have a runaway engine on your hands.

    PNW-6TH Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy and Campout

    Thank you very much Aaron and everyone else for setting it up. My son had an absolute blast; it was a wonderful experience for him. I forgot to tell Josh his left tail light is out. Also, sorry to hear anyone had trouble on the way home. I need to get the correct size tire mounted on my...
