    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    I recommend checking jatonka's web site and info on this. He has a good write-up in his TM section and others. I'm getting my setup in place and plan to use a data logger to record the sensors with no modifications and then make tweaks and see what happens. I will NOT test to failure if...

    What is this part? (Air System under dash)

    For the time being you can plug it you need to drive the truck. I went out and looked at my truck. I think the booger in finding a replacement would be the two screw mounts. An option would be to get one surplus or from a local guy that parted one out. I imagine that you talk to some other...

    LDT turbo specs come in here!!!

    Do any of you guys have part numbers (such as for NAPA?) to allow me to pick up the rectangular exhaust flange and round exhaust ring gaskets? I'm hoping to get them locally rather than order them from one of the surplus places.

    Poor mans wheel alignment

    I am not fond of many of these methods of checking toe. As others mentioned, the best way of preventing innacuracies is to spin the tie and mark it (per th enail or sharpie method). This is how I did it...

    Over heating on deuce

    50BMG, Can you clairify what "Got Hot" means? Is it that it overheats and blows water vapor out or does your water temp gages read higher than you think it should? If it is the former I woudl call it overheating. If it is the latter I would chek your gage and sending unit before getting too...

    Pulsetech solar panel install location on Deuce

    My truck was a CA National Guard truck. The panel is mounted just in fron of the windshield on the pasenger side. I think that is a natural place for it. The panel on my truck is about 4 inches by 5 inches and is market Solargizer. It has ~1/8 inch thick rubber washers above and below to help...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. I have a brand new D turbo in the box and know the crazy prices some of the surplus folks are asking. My budget just doesn't allow for their prices... I'll let go of my D turbo for quite a bit less than what they want.

    Synthetic oil in the engine and burning fuel

    Nice conversation guys! It’s nice to see some thoughtful, researched postings. When I pulled my valve covers I found that my engine is ultra-clean inside. So, I’m not worried about any crud breaking loose inside there. That being said, I’m happy running Delo 15W-40 in my engine and will...

    Filter substitution

    Did you ever do this? If so, how did it work out? What about the WMO question (if so, how much do you filter it before running it into your tank)?

    Synthetic oil in the engine and burning fuel

    I have all of jatonka's spin on filters and really like them. The filters are not terribly common, but NAPA can get them in a few days. I carry a spare set in my tool box just in case anything bad happens. The filters I use are Primary Fuel NAPA 3405 (10 micron), Secondary Fuel 3336 (6...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I spoke to J & H Turbo Service, Greenville, Mississippi some time back and found them to be very helpful and their prices very reasonable. I've been curious about different or hi-perf mods. Let me know if it works out! http://www.jhdiesel.com/Schwitzer.htm

    Parking brake indicator not working.

    I have an M35A2C and would like to add a switch to the parking brake to use for an indicator to remind me if the brake is engaged. ERIK's surplus sells the M35A3 switch, btu they are out of stock. Do you know of a supplier that has a swtich I can use? I'm thinking that maybe many of these...

    How much is too much gasoline in a waste oil blend?

    I don't know anything specific to your 6.2 Detroit, yet would think as a general rule that adding a quart or two of well-cleaned and dewatered WMO to each fill up would make up for the lack of sulfur for lubricity. I would think other places on the web would have better info on your particular...

    How much is too much gasoline in a waste oil blend?

    As an engineer, I've been designing and specing in viton o-rings and seals for many years. It's a great material! Chemical compatibility is wonderful and also can handle a very wide range of temperatures. I've purchased in small quantities from California seal here on the left coast (they...

    Herlong, CA (Sierra Army Depot) to Las Vegas, NV

    I don't think I can help you directly, but I shipped mine through UPS Freight to Portland. It turned out to be more then I'd hoped... I got 365\80R20 (yes, the metric version of the M35A3 14.5's) MRAP style wheel assemblies with Michelin XZL tires that turned out to weigh in at 355 lb each. I...

    looking for this TM 9-2320-361-10

    Although I had roughly 40 Tm's on these trucks, I recently found that I did not have this one. Eeeks! The August 2006 version is on: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/TMs_files/TM%209-2320-361-10.pdf I like this site because it has them organized and labeled a bit better than some others. IMHO...

    M35A2C circa 1968 Strange Bracket

    Is there a TM for having mismatched parts? Maybe I'll just print them all and put them in the glove box. Uh! Have you seen the glove box? How do ya fix a gazillion pages in that? Maybe print them in mouse font on ultra-nada-thin paper made of unobtanium? Some of the replies are MUCH more...

    M35A2C circa 1968 Strange Bracket

    Yes, this was your truck. I told you I've been taking care of her! Have you seen any of my other posts? And how does it have the wrong headboard? It seems a tough thing to mix up...
