    m35a2 has no power to anything electrical

    I'd start at the batteries and then the main solenoid on the engine block. Make sure all the connections are tight.

    Looking for list of recommended tools

    Oh I LOVE the "Hi-Lift" jacks !!! I have three of the premium 60" models. One is on my Deuce, one on my CUCV, and one on my M105 trailer. I just had to use it last week on my M105 trailer to get the hitch off as the ground was to soft and sank my landing gear. I've used mine to even replace...

    Turbo to Exhaust Manifold Nuts + Bolts

    I use "anti-seize" also, but I install "Stainless Steel" nuts. They are stronger then copper or bronze and won't rust.

    Heater hoses

    What ? No pictures of my set-up ? I know it looks crazy what with two cab heaters, coolant filter and engine block heater but I thought I could get at least an honorary mention ! :shrugs:

    Heater plumbing?

    Yep, it is plumbed wrong. You need to take off from the fitting before the thermostat "pressure" side and have your return line go to the water pump "suction" side.

    Looking for list of recommended tools

    I've said that for decades now. Might have started during my Marine years. About the comment of military personnel taking care of the deuce. When I was a Sargent in the motor pool we had about 40 guys in our platoon. So when a deuce came in it was swarmed and put to rights in about two days.

    Well blew another head gasket :(

    It sounds like your cap is working since it had pressure behind it. That just leaves a crack somewhere. Either the heads or block. You might luck out and find the water pump is bad.

    Well blew another head gasket :(

    First off, "porkysplace" is correct. You never use any sealer on Fel-Pro head gaskets. That being said I would get your engine up to temperature or as close as possible and then pressure test it. With it hot any cracks will be opened up and you will find the problem pretty fast.

    M1031 Contact Maintenance Truck Arctic heater install

    Are you sure the glow plug has power and is working ? Our buses use the "Wabco" heater on them and that is a common problem.

    Swap the Box Seat for Springer Seat - Question

    I had the same problem happen to me. I just shimmed up the front mounting bolts of the seat with washers.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    One of the most common oil leak areas is the turbo outlet. It appears as if your turbo has blown a seal, but really it's just the amount of oil puking out the exhaust.

    I already had one and bought another one from "MWMules" . I was just ordering another one from him when I heard the news.

    You need to look in "TM 9-8615" for all the rebuild information.

    MRE Heater Bracket

    Yeah. Then some dirt-bag stole them from his storage unit !

    MRE Heater Bracket

    I used them in my tank days in the Marines. Those stupid tanks can get extremely cold ! All that metal setting for days at sub-freezing temperatures takes a long time to heat up. So a cup of "Hot Cocoa" would make it all better ! Plus a hot MRE is always better then an ice-cold meal.
