    Help..What do I have

    I don't think M35's were produced right away. The M34 single rear wheeled trucks were first.

    M54 LDT-465 dies out. Lifter pump problem?

    You can swap any part between a LDS and LDT motor, and run it. Pump settings are different. But the LDS pump will work fine on a LDT motor. Bellhousings and starter locations are different, depending on what truck it is in, 5 ton or 2.5 ton. If the fuel system has no air getting in, the...

    No tubo whine

    A truck with a locked up turbo will start and run. Just smokes a little more and has less power. Turbo on mine was locked up when I bought it, and it started spinning about 20 min after driving it. It has worked fine ever since.

    M105 With 16" Wheels? How?

    The 4 wheel flatbed/bolster trailers use a 6 bolt pattern with a 16.5 rim. Looks like the will bolt on.

    Scrapping the M108?? Am I Crazy?

    Not if I paint mine first! Just drove it 170 miles to the monthly MV meet. Of course I am slightly taller than Kenny, so its not as far to jump. And if the crane is facing to the rear, I can reach the controls from the ground:D. I would sell my cargo truck first, and use the 5 ton flatbed...

    Ebay claims again-wow

    xm1061e1 brakes

    My E1 trailer is air/hyd. Quick note, if you disconnect the airlines from a truck, the brakes will lock as long as the air tank has air. There is a cable pull to drain the air tank on the rear of the trailer.

    Got the oldgirl up the drive.

    Breather vent for the pushrod cover. On mine it has a check valve, tee fitting, and then runs to the base of the carburetor on the rear.

    jeep clutch removal

    I've had the motor out in under 2 hours. Pulled the fenders and grill. Easier for me, don't have to crawl underneath as much.

    Common Oil Pressure?

    Gauges in both of my trucks were wrong. Best bet is to check it with a mechanical gauge. They run 70psi at speed, 30-40 idle, 90 cold. 86 and 93 motors.

    Burning Dashlights and Brake Switch Fix.

    Not sure what bulb it was, but I had too hot of a bulb in and it melted the lens cover also. Took a good hour to happen.

    "C" Turbo and Fuel Rate

    When I cranked up the fuel on the c turbo, the engine barked more. Turbo spun faster, but not much noisier. Just a higher pitch under load.
