    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I wondering about those pistons myself. To get every cylinder to have the same amount of low compression tells me there is one common denominator that is the culprit.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    There is something screwy going on here on the whole site. Pictures won't up-load, formatting not working. Seems like the site has a "bug" !

    Trans fluid question?

    It's your engine working harder with that overdrive. There will be a little more heat generated with the overdrive in the torque converter but most is really from the engine. Have you ever hand cranked a meat grinder ? When there is no load it turns really easy, but start adding meat and then it...

    Who saw the new TV show Diesel brothers?

    Yeah ! I think anyone in their right mind would never sell that truck for that price ! Maybe $8,000 to $10,000 more like it !

    Just inherited a m35a2 and need some assistance.

    No, your doing it right. You always use engine compression to help slow down a truck. You just must be "very" careful when doing this in a Deuce with a multifuel engine as it CANNOT be over revved ! Always watch your Tach when using engine compression to slow down. Some here don't like to take...

    M35A2 bumper extension brackets

    OK there is something wrong at this site concerning uploading pictures. I just tried to upload 10 pictures and only 6 came through. They all did the same thing, hit the upload button wait about 5 minutes and then the picture appears. Except in the case of the last four nothing appeared ! Well...

    M35A3 Air-Filter

    I checked the specs on the Wix filter 46845. It does not fit the housing. I found another filter from Wix 46908 that is pretty close. The correct filter W250C300 has these dimensions. Height 21" (with gasket), Width 8" and inner diameter of 4.25" (meaning it is 1.75" thick) . The Wix filter has...

    Spicer transmission case repair...

    We need a picture showing the damaged area. If there is still any threads left in the case then it probably can be repaired or at least sealed with "ATV" sealant.

    Deuce turbo issues

    I sure hope he doesn't have a oil supply problem then. He should have at least checked the oil pressure at the turbo to make sure.

    Deuce muffler option

    Thanks Shawn for showing me your install of the filter housing. Where did you get the 5" to 4" adapter ? I'm still cleaning mine up. There was a bit of rust inside I'm trying to remove with "Rust Remover" . It is taking a little longer then expected.

    M35A3 Air-Filter

    Does anyone know who sells the air-filter for the M35A3 besides the surplus dealers who want over $100.00 each for the filter ? I think I found a filter that might fit from WIX that sells for $60.00 ea but I would really like to use the original if at all possible.

    Deuce muffler option

    I just got my M35A3 air filter housing. To bad I didn't also get the muffler as now I need to do something with the air filter dust scavenger system. I might just cut off the top part of the housing and cut off the dust collector part and reweld it together.

    Longer wheel studs

    We installed these on our whole fleet of busses (1400) . They do let you know at a glance if your lug nuts have come loose.

    Auxiliary heater

    I received my M35A3 air-filter housing today. It needs a little cleaning up and then I need to mount it to the truck before I can install my second heater unit. First though I need to get a air-filter for it. Does anyone know if "Wix" or "Donaldson" or anyone else for that matter makes a filter...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    The tires perform the same you just need to be aware of the extra heat generated with the tubes in.

    Fording Project

    My wife sure doesn't call it awesome about all the stuff I have boxed up and laying around ! I've been a mechanic for almost 40 years and yes I'm a pack-rat. I love to pickup weird and unique stuff from shops getting rid of old inventory and going out of business. I still have a couple of oil...
