    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    The fuel system will be a disgusting mess and the brakes will be leaked out. Plan on flushing both and the cooling system as well.

    HMMWV Sealant

    That's some of the atomic body panel glue that AM General's robots squirt on the panel edges before assembly. Who knows what it really is. Avoid silicone as that can mess up future paint jobs.

    Rough Idle & Delayed throttle response

    Welcome. That screw is indeed the idle mixture adjustment. When you rebuilt it, did the check ball or balls (forgot quantity) go back in the right places?

    to turbo or not to turbo

    The GEP turbocharged engines are 2007 and newer. A CUCV engine will be a 1980's relic.

    HMMWV computer mount

    I have only seen the AN/UYK-128 mounted in HMMWVs. Putting a LEO B300 mount in a CUCV is possible, but it will interfere with the transfer shifter. Huge B300 fan here, been using a ex-USMC unit for going on 8 years now as my main platform at home, it is indestructible. The Gamber Johnson B300...

    1976 m880?

    M880 series trucks ALWAYS had M880, M882, M890 etc stamped on the Chrysler Corp data plate riveted to the center of the lower dash near the ash tray. Mine has open differentials and will spin all 4 wheels on dirt as well.

    1976 m880?

    Every M880 I have ever seen has been a carbon copy of one another, with the exception of the 1976-77 changes. That being, 318 2bbl, 727 trans, 203 transfer, open D44 front 3500 gvw, open D60 rear. You may have a special order truck?

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    I did this on mine, the trick is to take the same thickness out of both sides of the control arm. Helped some, I have the heavy gvw springs.

    B-29: The "Kee Bird" Disaster

    Did the "warbird community" have a better way to get the plane out of there that Darryl disregarded? We have all been there, when you are at the end of your rope, safety rules start to get disregarded.

    12 volt conversion

    I believe you can use the same 6 volt generator as is on your CJ2A, but use a 12 volt regulator with it. I would bring the generator to an old school auto electric repair shop and have them help you match everything up.

    B-29: The "Kee Bird" Disaster

    I learned about the Kee Bird for the first time watching the NOVA episode. First, the mechanic DIES after getting so sick after working on the plane and then it BURNS TO THE GROUND!! That has to be the saddest thing I have ever watched on TV. I was expecting a happy ending like most shows.

    2 man set up questions

    Each of your seat backs should have two quarter turn fasteners attached with tethers, these fasteners are what hold the seat backs down. Are yours missing?

    Brake Problems on my M35A2

    I would inpect the rt side wheel cylinders for internal corrosion. Also, when bleeding, verify that the stream from the bleeder seems to be the same pressure all around, to eliminate the possibility of line restrictions.

    Trial run = trials and tribulations

    You will fight that until the cows come home, time to remove and flush the tank.

    HMMWV w/e?

    I believe it means "with equipment" but I stand to be corrected. Embarrassing we don't know this, huh?

    Benefits of a M1078 as a firetruck.

    That's a no-no. Have to give it back to Forestry so they can auction it off on GSA!
