    1952 M35 Gasser ignition?

    Yes the resistor reduces 24 to 12 volts. With the ignitor cover off, stick a solid wire core ignition wire into the coil tower and crank, this will remove the cap and wires from the equation for diagnostics.

    1952 M-44 Studebaker Deuce questions

    Your VIN is the same as the mfg serial number M14479 which will also be stamped in the frame by the left front spring shackle. Go to your DMV and have them run the number. If it comes back with no data, ask them the process for lost title.

    Titling / ID issues

    I looked, your s/n is not there but it appears the change from 1964 to 1965 happened around s/n 10600 so you have a 1964 which was a great year to be born in.

    Titling / ID issues

    Your son probably got it exactly right. Check Carnac’s new VIN thread, your s/n might be in there.

    M809 Power Steering Pump Spewing Fluid via Vent

    This happens due to air getting sucked into the system in return lines that have pinhole leaks that don’t drip for some reason.

    2 12v or 1 24v Battery Tender?

    On the ex-military fire equipment I maintain, I fixed mounted the two BatteryMinders with a 110v whip cable that the fire crews know to disconnect just like on the pumpers.

    2 12v or 1 24v Battery Tender?

    I use two 12 volt tenders, they are more readily available and I can rotate them to other machines.

    New shoes.

    Yeah I'm wondering if I should switch to Bajas as well given the "issues" with the MTRs.

    Painting

    I use the CARC substitute from MullinsJeepParts.com. Super flat like real CARC.

    Injection pump questions.

    All looks good to me. The 24 volt version has that rubber waterproof connector. If for some unknown reason they installed a 24 volt solenoid in there, worst case it won't pull in.

    Upgraded running lights work great except in one specific scenario

    Swap left lamp to right and if the problem follows then yes ya got a defective lamp unit.

    Mystery rim damage?

    I have several used rims that have ugly radial scraping going on inside the rim. What causes this? Rims are straight from uparmored HMMWVs.

    Hercules Multifuel 6 cylinder

    Ok that is a LDT-465-1D engine, one of the last made in the 1980’s. You can place a want ad for the injection pump here on this site or call around to some of the site advertisers for help with the pump you need. If you need the actual part number for the pump, you can reference the -20P...

    Hercules Multifuel 6 cylinder

    We will need the model info from the mfgr data plate to answer your questions.

    M1009 rocker arm/timing question.

    No reason to align timing marks for your valvetrain repairs but it is a good idea to do so for replacing the injection pump.

    MTVR armor?

    After you get dimensions it’s super easy to CAD up drawings and send the DWGs to your local fabricator to CNC plasma cut steel pieces.

    Horsepower

    Yup the Army hated these trucks because of that reason they have no azz at all, the tractors with a loaded tank trailer were ridiculous slow up hill.

    M4 Sherman fixing....sorta

    Ha Ha never run? That is a creampuff compared to some that have been brought back from piles of scrap. Be careful on the carnage, I still have scars from deep cuts I got while grinding all that off a M47. The sharp edges just reach out and slice you.

    Durhamtown Lawsuit

    For that kind of award there needed to be “willful gross negligence” or some such legalese. If having culverts on your property constitutes negligence we are all in trouble.
