Erik's Military Surplus has them for $90.00 http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/vehicle-electrical-parts.html. The starter relay on a M35A3 is the same as on a M35A2. However, are you certain that you have a faulty starter relay? Have you confirmed that the starter relay is faulty? As I...

I have an original military paper copy of the TM 9-1005-245-13&P manual, dated December 1994. This manual covers the M122 Machine Gun Tripod Mount, M3 Machine Gun Tripod Mount, M66 Machine Gun Mount Ring, M240E1 Flexible Machine Gun Mount, M142 Machine Gun Mount, 6650 .50 Cal Machine Gun Mount...

It's normally not that hard to check glow plugs if you have an ohmeter. Make sure you use anti-seize with copper on the threads of the new glow plugs to assure good electrical contact.

You can try looking at data tags on things like axles, transfer case, transmission, etc. If you see a lot of tags dates with a specific year, it is likely that the truck won't be any older. In most states, it is fairly easy to get the year changes on titles if more information becomes...

I checked out my MEP003A, manufactured 07/92. It was wired the correct way. Thanks everyone for the information.

This is very good information. Thanks for posting!

Welcome to the site. When you turn the master on, can you hear fuel splashing into the tank from the return line? Can you hear the lift pump in the tank running?

Very nice looking setup! Congratulations on a job well done.

Would it be possible to put a flow-meter on the line?

Since this M151 is located in the UK, it is doubtful that it has been de-milled by cutting, unless it was imported from the U.S.

I would check the muffler for buildup as suggested. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you can run it satisfactorily at a high load without difficulty and it isn't using significant oil, just keep using it as is.

I'll throw my 2cents2cents in as well. I would recommend adding some oil to each cylinder to provide some initial lubrication to the cylinder walls prior to spinning the engine sans the spark plugs. I always do this with any engine that has been sitting for an extended period of time without...

I just replaced a glow plug a few days ago with a new NGK glow plug. I didn't use a reamer, but NGK recommends the use of a reamer for some diesel engines. I also use high temperature anti-seize with copper to assure a good electrical connection, such as Permatex Prefix-230. This is from NGK...

An M1061A1 trailer is way to heavy to be pulled by an F-250. Empty, they weight about 5850 Lbs. and pulling with your pickup, you have no trailer brakes. They were designed to be pulled by a 5-ton truck or an M-113 track. I have one of these trailers and when pulling it with one of my M35s...

I had a vehicle once that behaved like yours regarding the fuel delivery. It would start up fine and idle fine. However, when driving, the engine would unexpectedly die. After coasting to a stop it would start right up again. Replaced fuel filters, mechanical fuel pump, etc. No help...

I have a lot of projects on a similar schedule!

I have no experience with this engine, but have the following general suggestions. 1. Are you sure the intake to the pump isn't leaking and pulling in air? 2. Have you verified that the oil pump is actually turning? 3. How do you know that there isn't any oil pressure? Are you relying on a...

I think I would try Doghead's idea first. If it's still in the hole, it should blow right out if you rev up the engine. In fact, if it's not too loose in the hole I wonder if simply turning the engine over with the starter might blow it out due to the high compression ratio. Nothing to lose...

I don't know if you might damage anything in the chamber with your idea, but I doubt you would damage anything and it likely won't take much to push the tip into the chamber. I have fished out a GP tip using a piece of welding rod with chewing gum on the end. I bent the end of the rod into a...

You can use the same ground. The two circuits are isolated.
