    Ugh i rolled her!

    You've got a good parts truck. Good motor, electronics (hopefully), etc... basically you are familiar with what components are good and which are bad. I'd buy a new truck and start over, and if you have any bad parts on the new truck, replace them with ones from the totalled truck. Sell the...

    more snow play

    nice. Thanks for finding a parking lot to drift in. Someone was drifting on the street in front of my house in a Suburban and wound up drifting into my yard. At least their ruts match my deuce ruts...

    I saw that part of the ad and started weighing the benefits and disadvantages of having two "wenches" on the back... well, as long as you keep them separated and oblivious...

    Could you replace the mech. starter solenoid with an electrical one off of an A2, and add an A2 starter button?

    She won't start in the cold!

    What I know for certain, standard diesel from the pump right now is "Ultra-Low Sulfur" to comply with emissions regulations. Thus it does not provide near as much lubrication to the injector pump innards (which are lubricated by the fuel as it is pumped through it). Adding something like Diesel...

    How does the "preheater" work?

    What it consists of: a sparkplug in the intake manifold, an ignition coil, and a fuel injector next to the sparkplug in the intake. How it works: when you flip the switch on the dash and hold it, the injector sprays diesel into the intake manifold and the sparkplug ignites it, so there is...

    She won't start in the cold!

    I doubt this is the sole cause of your problem, but do you use any type of cold-weather diesel additive, like Diesel Kleen?

    repainting the truck, recommendations

    Carc has a not-very-smooth texture, and is very thick... it's hard to remove, is very flat, and usually fades quickly...

    M-37 jump seat trivia question

    Okay. The jump seat is not a jump seat. It's simply to accommodate the bed-mounted spare in the M37s, whilst allowing full use of the troop seats when the tire was out... to meet requirements, like some people said. This only applies to M37s... with the introduction of the M37B1 they moved the...

    To Winch or Not to Winch a No-Winch M35A2? Opinions

    Put a winch on it. The best type of insurance you can have.

    M35,M342a2 total Heights ?

    12' would be good. That way if there is anything funky with an extra-long stack due to a muffler etc you won't forcibly remove the stack when you go to park.

    Convoy Light Mast Dimensions? M35A2

    Most people tend to use them for parades and such... I agree that I wouldn't have them on during daily driving, but just having them shouldn't be a problem.

    Goodyear radials SUCK in the snow!!!

    Dude, it ain't the tires. Get a working transfercase. My truck will spin the tires on flat level ground if the ground is the least bit wet or slick, w/o the front axle engaged. The yard has proof gouged into it.

    Seeing as there is no turbo, I would not recommend it at all.
