Did you buy this truck from Government Liquidation? If so, they are usually very good about telling you what they think about your chances with the particular truck. Just call the site officer where it is.

We used our old M135 GMC to winch out stuck combines and tractors, some tractors down in the muck with only the tops of the rear tires showing on that end. Some guys never know when to quit trying to spin their way out!! Had to anchor the rear end to a Payloader with the bucket sunk in the...

We have run both the normal turbo and the whistler on our deuce. We find the whistler builds boost quicker at lower RPM than the bigger snail turbo. This means quicker, lower RPM power build-up. The whistler does not build quite as much boost in the top RPM range as the large snail turbo...

My experience is that the deuces, especially when turned up, are like a spritely pickup when compared to the five tonners. They are more of a serious work truck. I am lucky enough to be able to plate the five tonners as farm trucks, so no CDL BS. Yes, no power steering in the deuce, but kits are...

My son hit a deer with his M35A2. No sound or felt reaction other than a click to the steering as the front tires went over it, slight bump of rear tandems hitting it. No damage to the truck, which does not have a winch on the front. Winch with extended bumper would be even more protection. I...

I am not sure I can agree with the 465's having weak, soft cranks. I have found them to be very hard and durable. The White motors are used in farm tractors, and I know of turned up tractors that have run for years with them. I have taken cranks out of used engines, and found them to still be in...

We did a modification that helps keep pyro temp within limits without having to watch it all the time while towing a load down the road. We replaced the normal pull to shut oiff cable with a pull cable that has an adjustment knob and push button in the middle. You push the button to slide the...

Definitely get the 30 wt. out and put in Dexron. Your tranny will last much longer.

I can't knock GL. My son and I have made multiple purchases from them and were pleased with the items and the cooperative attitude of the personnel. It may now be a thing of the past, but he bought a M35 from GL out of Ft. Knox for $1900, drove it home, added a whistler turbo, and turned up the...

I would suggest taking the parts to your local clutch rebuild shop. They should be able to ID a "civilian" part from measurements, etc.

To address timing, we have put a whistler turbo on an M35 engine that was originally non-turbo, set up the fuel, and did not change the timing. It runs great with no problems. We have towed five tonners home 110 miles with it with no ill affects. One of the things normally done on all of our...

I don't have any. For dealers, try Antelope Valley (1-800-521-8518) or Memphis Equipment (901-774-0600). Antelope Valley is usually cheaper; I think both have take-off parts. Regards Marti

We got our bearings, boots, and seals from local suppliers and Antelope Valley in California (1-800-521-8518). There is also Memphis Equipment (901-774-0600), and also one of the sponsors of this site, whom I have not yet dealt with. The boots also regularly appear on Ebay. Search under...

I agree with the running of the lowest possible octane fuel. I have used lead substitute, but quit it and have had no noticeable problems in farm trucks and tractors. Most military engines are made with low compression to run on low octane fuel. The higher the compression, the higher octane...

Sorry; should have been clearer on that! He recommended Dexron ATF.

I have also noticed a difference in the igniter spark plugs that seemed to help on my truck. My M543A2 seemed to be intermittent on igniting the atomized fuel. I disassembled and cleaned the nozzle assembly, cleaned the little felt filters in it, tested the spray pattern on it, and found all in...

This reply is to Yeager. It could get complicated eliminating one rear axle because of the way the suspension is made. If you put in an auxiliary, remember the front drive is automatic, and it would kick in when you shift the rear drive into OD unless you disable it with an air valve I could...

Has anyone tried adding LP injection to these engines? My son and I intend to on his M35A2 after we did it on my Dodge Cummins just ahead of the turbo. We have the regulator set up to selectively trip two stages with push buttons on the stick. Leaves black marks when we hit it rolling in second...
