A certain person from Alabama told me that if you lick the gauge and it tastes like peanut butter it's one of the "hot" ones.:roll:

Don't take it to a muffler shop. There was just a bunch of complete exhaust kits released on GL. PM doghead, I think he has several. There's also several on ebay.

A cab change is VERY easy and can be done in one day. I've done 2 with 2 gassers waiting, and it's not even an option in my eyes to fix one.:wink:

Why not cut the bed down like the prototypes did? Only a few bobbed trucks I've seen have done that. I was just looking at the May 1955 XM381 drawing and noticed it has a payload of 2 tons and runs singled 11.00 tires not 9.00 tires. And FYI the wheel base is 136 not 135 inches.

That doesn't make sence, the door shells are the same for all 81-87 chevy trucks 1/2 ton through dually.

I would have thought any 1981-1987 and blazer/suburban to 1991 would fit. The only difference maybe would be the shape of the vent window latch. I just put an 82 K-10 vent into my 1984 M1028A3 with no problems.

The newer ones are the pressed ones. I would GUESS that the 1 piece is stronger but have never seen either type fail if used/mounted correctly.

DH, we need to find the old poll and see when it was done. I will bet money the younger crowd currently, is a substantially higher percentage of people on SS now than on a poll from a few years ago.:wink:

I have a couple questions. First what exactly was the pulling truck? It was a F350 but what year and was it the dually? Second, was the trailer a gooseneck? Also, did it have singles or dual wheels? We don't know alot of information and it makes a huge difference in the outcome of this. Most...

The fording access in the back of the air cleaner assy must be blocked or it will keep running. I would think the mushroom would also work if it was in good shape. I just happened to have a board laying right there (was actually standing on it).

Those came from Ottocraft in Tracy City. If you look in some old military vehicles magazines (2008) you'll find the descriptions of them.

Some more info, Tonys was a turbo however, it doesn't appear that the turbo was the problem. There is no indication that it is at fault. I am curious since both trucks were always run on straight diesel, if the new sulfer rules on diesel fuel that went into effect early 2008 have any effects on...

Well during my runaway I wound up with the cable in my hand from pulling so hard. Twright also had one and the cable did not shut his off either, he also had to remove the mushroom and place a board over intake then cover the fording access point for the compressor with his hand.

Negative, The one runaway I had was a non turbo and the problem was the injection pump.:wink: Though turbos are another often cause for runaways.

Just removing the mushroom and covering the intake will not shut off a runaway engine. It will lower the RPM's quite a bit though. Remember almost all M35's do not have a fording kit installed, so there is about a 1" hole in the back of the air cleaner that must be plugged before the engine will...

How many M35A2's are you showing still in the active inventory? (not at GL or DRMS)

Yep, DUG you probably should keep the hat on. I am waiting for CARNAC to chime in and answer if it will be a trickle or a flood on GL. I am guessing the amount of standard M35A2's still in the active inventory is very low at this point. I know several are still at DRMS and even more at GL but...

OD Iron has the kits and has installed one.

Well I guess the tin foil hats can be put away till next time (and there will be a next time).:wink:
