Try getting a title these days for a truck without one...especially a military vehicle. It used to be very easy. There were several companies that could help you get a title, but most or all of them have been unavailable to help. So, yes, I offered a blanket statement to help him. If you...
Depending upon your truck, it can vary. Your truck may have the older (but better) and recently retrofitted M809 series filter under the fender. There should also be a spin on filter located on the driver's side of the block (back toward the firewall). Then, there also may be a small inline...
I believe they will fit on the truck, although I have never done it so I hope someone who has will confirm this. I do not believe that the 1600 spare will fit in the 1400 spare tire carrier. The A2s are not overpowered as they are and you are going to rob it of even more power...not sure you...
With regard to the power, have you changed your filters? If not, do so. Also, make sure you burn any old fuel through or empty it out (which would be better). I also suggest adding some good diesel conditioner.
In high range, the 6CTA has little power from a dead stop. Once the truck gets rolling, and the turbo starts to spool up, the truck should pull nicely. Every time I pull out somewhere, I am disappointed by the power. Now, in low range, the truck has serious power...but most of us run around...
Ethan was a good man and good friend; we talked often. I wish I were in a position to purchase this stuff, but I have other projects going on. In my opinion, the M35A2C is worth $4K even with the issues...probably $5K if you got it running properly.
Good luck with the sale.
Use 80W-90 gear oil. Any brand name would be fine. I use Valvoline. Some guys swear by synthetic; I used non-synthetic, but that is more because of price and the fact that these are hobby trucks for me and never get worked.
Like the others have said...it could be a number of things. Check the light switch...check the bulbs...check to make sure the turn signal switch on the steering column is grounded properly...make sure the lights themselves are grounded properly. If all of that checks out, it could be the...
Check out the picture of the torn floor mat. Do you see the dirt/mud that appears to be moist? I bet there is rust in the floor. Get underneath and inspect the underside of the floor board. Also, see if you can pry up the mat where it is loose. Condensation forms underneath the floor mat...
At full extension, I believe the boom can lift 4,500 pounds. I, for one, don't think it is going to be as useful as you think. In order to be able to get the full lifting capacity, you have the have the boom fully retracted, with the legs secured to the back of the truck and to the boom (this...
Letting them idle is better than nothing, but it is not enough for them. They need to be up to full operating temperature and really driven. Driving your truck provides the exercise that it needs.
Believe it or not, the wheel might be out of balance. A good friend on this list, GIJOECZAR, talked to me about this a little while back. He had a situation that seemed like flat spots on the tires that never smoothed out. He took the tires to a shop that shaved the uneven spots off of the...
