File a claim with GL.

2000 RPM is 55 mph. This is best cruising speed for me, gives 7 mpg. I don't run against the governor because I have to pay to fix the Big Cam if it comes unglued.

Body looks solid, that is the most important thing. Tow bar, roll bar, wheels, tires, mirrors, steering wheel, windshield and locking hubs are all not original to the vehicle. Someone did a nice job painting the registration number on the hood. Good luck with it!

NOS harnesses are not available, and repro ones are like over $400, and use the older style metal shell connectors, and do not have turn signals. You have a good idea though. Buy some bulk mil wire and the connectors and make up your own harness exactly to what you need.

The parts to build up your 302 are not hard to find. Nothing else will bolt to the Hydramatic. An easy swap is a GM 366 with Allison from a school bus or Ryder truck.

No such animal. The M135 goes down the road just fine at 55 mph, 58 is against the governor at 3400 RPM. Gets the same fuel economy as any other gas powered medium truck, about 5-6 mpg.

Sloryd here was having the same issues. Pulled out all his hair trying to diagnose. PM him for insight into timing the engine. I think in the end the problem was that the injector pump was air-bound and would not prime. We finally got it to spurt after endless cranking.

I guess today was not my day to check out. Thank you Almighty. I was busy removing the boom tip from the P&H M320T 20 ton crane for painting. I was too lazy to start the crane and swing the house around and lower the boom, and there was a giant hornet's nest in the pulleys, and I was too lazy...

Drive a chisel into the end of the key and pry up on the key using the chisel as a lever.

That is the water drive transmission from a GMC DUKW. (Amphibious 2 1/2 ton truck WWII). I would think there would be some demand for that, given all the Duck tour operators.

Is this exterior latex?

Does yours need an oil pump like most of them? Why did GL list so many of these trucks as needing an oil pump? I suspect CSMDavis got carried away with cut and paste on the descriptions. :-P

Csm Davis, Please help us out by finding someone in the area who can load a truck that does or does not roll onto a step deck trailer. (inexpensively) Thanks

M916 and M915A1

Neither. The big post is the output to the batts and the pigtail is the voltage sense. There is no simple way to make the 60 amp alternator put out some fixed amount. Put a battery charger on your batts at night and you should be able to drive around 50 miles or more if you leave the...

Thanks for the report. Tell us about this Angelia. Is she the new Ms Neely? What is your take on condition code? :grin:

$2.00 a mile for a step deck trailer. If your purchase site can't load that type of trailer, you will have to get a RGN (removable goose neck) trailer, for push-on loading, and those get more than double the rate. Be sure to get your arms around this one.

Rubber o ring around the carb float needle. Allows minor flooding.

Should be well into the green with the engine on. It will dip down when the glow plugs cycle. There is an allen head screw on the alt, if you remove that, underneath is a pot that will allow you to up the voltage some. That is if it is not fried. Put a voltmeter on it to be sure, should be...

Agreed. My 1967 M275A2 is set up the same way, with the exhaust coming out underneath into a muffler, dumping out in front of the tandem. The last contract deuce tractors had the LD465 NA engines in them. Yours looks to have been in service well into the 1980s, to have gotten the CARC paint...
