    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.

    Oiling o-rings and seals before installing?

    Vaseline, motor oil, and any other fluid except what it is working in will swell o-rings up un-necessarily. I have some "o-ring grease" here, commercial stuff specifically meant to swell up o-rings, that is for fixed static seal on vessals for NG and JP [almost everything JP] but it does not get...

    m35a2 Fuel Fiter

    I built the very best fuel filter set-up for my Deuce and had zero problems. That truck has the cleanest fuel tank there ever was. One of a kind. I changed (renewed) all those fuel filters one time and never again. Lube oil filters too. Turned out less expensive, like I am Mr. Frugal over here...

    What can a Multi-fuel run?

    Imported fuel is expensive. 30 Bucks for three gallons and 120 calories a tablespoon. I don't know what that is in BTU or octane or cetane but I know it fires good in the multi-fuel. Almost nothing on the coffee filter I used. This is going right in the tank. This is free post-turkey fuel. The...

    Emissions Issues and Accelerator Pedal Stop

    Hey, if they would want to play silly with my truck I would play too. Adjust the sitting idle to 1100 rpm and adjust the pedal stop bolt up. Under an engine no load situation why would I ever "snap it" above the 1800rpm torque peak. Someplace back in the past times some were known to fill...

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    A a Deuce I put one in the cheapest I could as a test. When cutting open the filter to see I found the media did not breakdown but did get fouled with crud. It works.

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    Put a coolant filter. Yes it is worth it. Are you going to keep the truck or NOT? You will see when you cut the old filter apart and examine the crap filtered out. Installation of a coolant filter is a decision. Protect your equipment.

    M35A2 Chip Truck

    All good opinions, I think you all answered the OP's question. That onion farm, Minkus, has a standard buy order for M35A3 trucks. And they make excellent drone videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMZnn-i9DHw He also said or inferred He can't get anybody to drive a stick good. That...

    M35A2 Chip Truck

    jasonjc gives good advice. Placing a heavy duty tactical military truck in daily service could work, but why. You need no downtime. The truck has to work. This is for your business which is not pleasure use. In commercial service one would find few that wanted to work on your M35A2, aggravating...
