Easy things first. I second starting with what the inside of the tank looks like (gunk?). Then fuel flow from the tank. In tank pump working? Fuel flow to the primary filter? Fuel flow to the secondary filters? Is the fuel shutoff on the injection pump all the way open (you need to work the...

On some stretches of asphalt road around here, going only 40 mph on regular tire pressure, can make the rear end "jump" sideways so much that I have to be quick on the steering wheel to catch the truck that is now pointing towards the ditch or into oncoming traffic. My truck is singled out on...

No, Rio kit is a pair of speedos, Ray Ban shades and plenty of sun block! Carnival is a good time to travel there.

The Canadian version of the M35 has a carrier rack over the cab roof for exactly that purpose. If you want to build yourself one, sketches with measurements are available...ok...I did a search....here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101939-CDN-MLVW-Roof-Rack-M35-related

Murphy's Law of self recovery winches, by cattlerepairman: 1) Any winch cable is at least three feet too short to reach the right anchor point Corollary to 1) If the winch cable is of sufficient length, the pull angle is out of spec 2) If the winch is equipped with a shear pin, it will break...

I have plenty of experience with hydraulic winches and some with electric ones. My own PTO winch on my truck still makes me anxious whenever I operate it. Spooling cable is easy - operating the PTO winch safely is not. The beefy PTO winch looks great on the truck and it belongs there. If I had...

Just go to www.lmgtfy.com (L et M e G oogle T hat F or You - LMGTFY) and go through the paces. The web site produces a link for this particular search that you can share. The site is meant for the passive-aggressive people that do a search in order to stick it to someone that they could...

Ok, I will get you started. Get a comfy place to read...this will take a while! No offence, but this link will, in addition to your power steering info, show what to type into Google to get steelsoldiers site results: http://bit.ly/1z02zp5

I just replaced mine and, indeed, used 2/0 welding cable which sells here for about $5 per foot. It is a good time to add a battery cutoff switch, if you do not have one, yet. 8ft should be plenty. I used the hammer-on copper lugs for the ends and it worked just fine. I understand that some...

Tucked her away for the winter. Heated warehouse. I'll miss her. I can sneak in on weekends and start her up and operate the brakes. I can fill the warehouse with smoke but need to shut off when the fire alarm triggers! :-)

So does mine, more so when it is cold. Normal, I'd say. Congrats on your leak fixing. I have a couple of seeping pinion seals and the middle and front axle need to be gone through. Very light seep, only after sitting for a week or so. Did not instill the sense of urgency to rip it all apart...

No, but I remember reading that one of the guys measured solargizer output and the difference between the solar panel being exposed directly to sun light as opposed to being behind glass (windshield) was huge, I want to say 50%.

So you can go "Hold my beer while I tell y'all a story!" :-)

You have a nice and clean truck! You need to add "flip front licence plate upside down" to the list!

I am from the "ragtop" fraction. I would seriously consider your hard top, if it looked like the original and had a price point that is significantly more sane than what people are asking for surplus ones. Great idea and I wish you success with the prototype!

Fuel filters. Try the -10 Technical Manual (TM). It is good to read the operator level TM at least.

My ex-service OCD does not allow me to leave winch cable criss-crossed for long periods of time. Re-wound all winch cable after cleaning and spraying with cable lube and hammering the first layer tightly into place. Winch works flawlessly under load (winched truck up a hill) and winch clutch...

Update: I read a LOT of winch repair and rebuild thread information. Fascinating. I recommend THIS thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?80417-Winch-Teardown-Q I felt that the most likely two issues with my winch clutch no longer dis-engaging were either a twisted clutch shaft or...

The Canadian military used these M135 until the 1980'. They are becoming somewhat rarer as many that were kept running by private owners were subsequently sold and "used up" by owners down the line. The parts train is also slowly drying up, from what I can see. It seems that many vendors simply...

The HH O-rings are Viton 227 and 230 and the little 013 (or 012; depending on your shutoff rod)
