No, your not dumb. In fact your pretty smart to look for the problem before it became a "REALLY" big problem. A lot of people would just let it slid thinking it was nothing. One of my biggest "bugaboos" is electrical fires. Having had a big one in my past. So I'm always smelling the vehicle...

Your welcome.

Yes a wife can help slow the virus, but only for so long. Eventually the green fever gets so bad that something gives and then all H*LL breaks loose ! That's when I bought the first deuce !

Yes. I can see the "green virus" has infected you. Mine started with the purchase of a MEP-003. Soon they started multiplying. Now I have 8 generator units, three deuces, a CUCV, and a M105 trailer. So far science has not found a cure for the "green virus" . So hang on. It is going to be a wild...

This is not true. I debunked this "Urban" myth a few years ago. Here is a paper I just had on my desk from Delco-Remy. It clearly says to "solder" the connections. I posted a paper from "NASA" saying how to properly solder the connections for all the space vehicle's. Now if something is going to...

No kidding ! It was funny. For some reason most of the other mechanics did not like doing "King-Pin" jobs. Seems they where more then happy to let me do them all. It did get kind of annoying when they started leaving that "portable" king-pin press by my tool box though.

Or a lot of "brake clean" sprayed in the lines and then blown out with shop air.

Do you have any weight in the truck ? Or do you drive empty all the time ? You don't have any good hills where you live, so I would get something heavy to put in the bed and drive it pretty hard for a day or two. These engines need to have a good load on them to make them happy. If they don't...

OK, that was funny ! I loved doing King-Pin work though. I even own two large truck king-pin press's . At work we had this 100 ton portable press. It took two men and a boy to move, but it was considered a "portable" unit. I did so many king-pin jobs they used to keep the bushing reamer by my...

I bought the connectors from "Mouser Electronics" . They are a bit spendy but it gives the unit a true military look.

I copied the design from "The Stig" here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134679-M-series-flasher-relay-civvy-conversion-how-to/page2 Unlike some others I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

oops Ops

I made up a spare turn signal flasher unit with a replaceable relay. This way I'm not at the mercy of the "surplus dealers" and their high priced replacements.

Well I'm one step closer to my "Alaskan Adventure" . I finished the 12 volt towing box for my travel trailer. Now my deuce can tow any 12 volt trailer. Just plug it in and go. I have both the "7 pin Flat (RV) style" and "7 pin round (commercial) style" plugs. Plus the original 24 volt connector...

Yeah, looks like piston pieces to me too. Ugly is right !

OK then. Keep us posted on your findings.

I found it right off, and then ordered three ! Thanks again Frank.

Yes, emergency use only.

Thanks Frank ! I needed to finish rebuilding a couple of boost pumps, and now I can.

I have a M35A2C and mine has it mounted on the firewall in the engine compartment. It powers the horn.
