    M35a2 with a hydraulic 5ton winch

    Your probably right. What you need to find out is the exact displacement of the winch motor, then you can get the correct pump needed. But I'm sure you already knew that.

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    What's all this talk about "rehab" anyway ? Are you getting surgery for something ?

    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    Just a thought but check your transfer-case lever. It should be in the "up" position.

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    The usual culprit for the circuit breaker tripping is the fuel pumps built in "suppression" unit. This is on the power line to the pump. By cutting this out of the circuit you will have you pump back usually.

    Front end noise

    Since Gerhard hasn't showed up I'll answer the question. There is No spring in the constant velocity joint. I know most people will say this style of joint is weaker then the U-joint style but actually they are stronger in many ways. That is why the military used them for so many years. The...

    Pto rpm?

    You know Gerhard if you have some spare time it would be great to get "ALL" your transmission and transfer-case diagrams in one place ! In fact it should be put in the TM section ! I try and save and then print-out all your diagrams for my TM manuals but I know there are several I don't have...

    Re: Optima Battery Woes

    NOCO seems to be in the lead on the AGM charger market lately. They do make a most excellent charger.

    Re: Optima Battery Woes

    I used to buy the Interstate Battery Blems all the time ! My buddy owns a gas station in Seattle and used to get them for me. The problem is he went away from Interstate Batteries and now no more Blems for me ! :cry:

    M35a2 with a hydraulic 5ton winch

    He could just get the power steering pump from a 5 ton multifuel. That's what I'm doing for my steering project.

    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    Yes those boxes of parts bought and stored away for later use. It's like Christmas time when I come across some now since I've forgotten of a lot of things I've already bought !

    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    Zanther , looks like your a neighbor ! I'm between Woodinville and Duvall myself. Drive by Maltby all the time. Especially in spring time going out to "Flower World" .

    M35a2 with a hydraulic 5ton winch

    You will have to deal with a lot of extra weight though ! Possibly have to add a few extra leaf springs.

    Any Idea who made this steering Mod?

    You didn't show any of the steering column pictures but the only problem I see is the drag-link. Get that fixed and you will have a pretty good power steering unit on your hands. You can adjust the linkage to give you the proper turning radius you need if you get a "proper" drag-link . If the...

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    Parts should not be an issue with this truck. There is plenty of "Surplus Dealers" out there and still quite a few trucks just floating around in peoples back yards. In fact there was a bunch of NOS engines that were sold from the Gov Liquidation in California a few months ago. They are selling...

    Re: Optima Battery Woes

    The problem with Optima batteries is the top connecting bridge. It will break due to corrosion overtime and then not charge or anything else. We had the "Odyssey" training representative come out and give a class on their batteries once and they told us all the "secrets" of the other battery...

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    On the reliability issue, just like "gimpyrobb" and "clinto" said it depends. Any vehicle that has had good maintenance done on it will be reliable and any vehicle that is just driven until something breaks will not perform well. I don't care if it's a Honda, Chevy, Ford, Subaru, Military 6X6...

    I don't know of a proportioning valve that will flow that much fluid.

    M1028 6.2 diesel to 454 swap

    I love my 383 Hi-Torque ( good fuel mileage) but it would be nice when towing the RV over the mountains to have more power. Also I have a carb, and fuel injection would be nice. For all the guys out there who worry about converting there CUCV just remember it still is just a basic Chevy truck...
