You should be able to tell if the end is bad by looking at it. You can get a new cable for a reasonabe price. I would go ahead and replace the entire cable. I just replaced mine a few months ago with a new one from Saturn.

That is what I intend to try next - thanks. Unfortunately, I was unable to work on it today, but I'll get back to it tomorrow.

Well, I removed the fuel tank on my MEP-003A and thoroughly cleaned it, as well as all fuel lines. I also cleaned the fuel strainer and replaced both fuel filters. After re-assembly, I cannot get the engine to run. It initially started and ran for about 3 seconds and died, obviously due to air...

I bought a complete transmission gasket set for the 3053a transmission from Saturn Surplus, but it didn't include the seal you need. They might sell it separately.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You will find a wealth of information and support here. You can also find a lot of information by using the search function on posts. You live in a nice country - I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time in Norway in the past.

I would recommend fixing the leak and keeping the flame heater. Living in Michigan, this can be a big help for you. There is no reason the other lines should start leaking. I drove a Deuce in the Army in the early 70s that had a flame heater and it worked great. My current Deuce has an ether...

I lost 5th gear in my Deuce a while back. It started making a rattling sound when accelerating or especially under deceleration where the noise was louder. No load conditions resulted in no noise. Mine started shelling teeth on 5th gear, but I was able to limp home. I swapped out the...

Congratulations and good luck on the recoveries!

I would recommend contacting both Line-X and Sherwin Williams and ask to speak with their formulation chemist and ask them. I had a similar issue years ago when putting another type of epoxy coating on top of newly applied paint, and I contacted the Permite formulation chemist. He gave me...

I got a set of stock NOS blades from Saturn and they worked perfectly on my M35A2.

I have a brand new 25' reel of 2/0 4-conductor SO cable manufactured by Alpha for sale. If interested, send me a PM.

I agree completely with Heavysteven. Forget the mods until later. Make sure the brakes are in good order. I drove my Deuce ~700 miles home from Fort Indiantown Gap, PA to Hiawassee, GA last year with no problems. I was lucky in that all fluids were fresh and topped off, good batteries, and...

The fuel pressure at the injector is extremely high. If you loosen the fitting, you shouldefinitely see fuel seep as you crank the engine over.

What about a neighbor? You may be like me with no neighbors close by.

I would immediately suspect that whoever did the head gasket repair reconnected some wires incorrectly. Too much of a coincidence that the problem started when the vehicle was returned to service. As Ken mentioned above, download the TM and trace all wire for proper connection.

It is not that complicated to start the MEP-003A. I would recommend installing a manual transfer switch and training the wife, et al, how to throw the switch and start the engine. My wife picked it up without difficulty.

I lost 5th gear in my M35A2 and decided to replace the transmission. A good used take-out cost me $200.00. Shortly after I found another good trans for only $100.00. I find it hard to justify the time and trouble for a trans repair when good take-outs can be found for reasonable prices. I...

Congratulations on getting your EUC. Where is the truck located? Is it driveable? An alternative is to have it towed off base by a local wrecker and stored temporarily until you can pick it up.
