Replaced my busted block engine with a running engine from a parts truck. First I noticed a ticking sound and assume the rockers need adjusting. Puzzleing to me is oil ozing out around the #1 and #6 cylinder exhaust manifold. It's not the valve covers - they're dry. Bad valve guides? Injectors...
Dodging snow and rain, I finally got my LDT torn down. I knew I had lost a cylinder liner and piston, a relatively easy fix, but was concerned when draining the oil when I got 4 gallons of antifreeze first out of the oil pan. I had checked the heads first with the blacklite and spray and found...
A good while back I read of a receiver a member was building and selling. Before anyone asks, I did a fairly extensive search to no avail. It was a large steel plate that had 2 receiver slots and mounted to the rear crossmember. Actually mounted behind the bumperetts. Had a star shaped knockout...
Right side xfer case bolts that attach to the single mount sheared off. I have only one bolt in my full size M35. (a quick drill and tap while in frame). Have a logging chain wrapped around case and frame on my bobber. Both bolts are sheared. Is this common? I have yet to read of anyone else...
Have been searching with no luck for putting a turbo off a 5 ton on my LD M35A2.(Hope I didn't just overlook the thread) Has anyone done this? Will all the parts be available from the 5 ton? Will I have to swap the intake and exhaust manifolds? Don't know what series turbo it is but it is larger...
DON'T SHOOT, I'M UNARMED (not really) Got one Question. Have read and researched TM's and threads. I know I'm missing something in the translation. That said. For MORE FUEL in the IP there should be more or fewer threads showing or concerning the thin nut, clockwise or ccw, righty tighty, lefty...
I have an M35a2 with the LD-465-1C (nonturbo). The FDC is not bypassed. It does have a manifold heater. This truck smokes like a freight train. It has less power than my other deuce with an LDT-465-1D which does not smoke hardly at all. I've read the TM's and searched other threads. Would...
I Know,nopics
So I got a few with my cellphone. The quality may not be so great and some were taken at dusk.This is my 77? Kaiser. I used the 53 Frue M105 frame and suspension. In one pic you can see the bed in the back of my Deuce. I plan to do some painting before I mount the bed. Any...
May be in wrong forum. Please advise if so. Both my deuces have broken studs on right side of xfer case. Is this common ? I had to jackleg drill and tap on my 67 with xfer still on truck. Not fun but I don't have a xmission jack and can't afford a new one big enough to handle it. Today the studs...
I have received access to aproximately 500 gallons of new motor oil of different viscosities. 15wt to 50wt. No it's not hot. Oil became disposable due to a brand change in a large backup generator. Knowing the oil is not contaminated, would it be safe to pump straight into my deuce tank??
Noticed no hum coming from the fueltank so I checked it out. I got no (like that " got no " yeah I'm a hillbilly ) noise from the tank, no aggitation and no squirt from the primary fuel drain. My question is How is my engine running?
I am running 60% WMO 40% diesel and fuel conditioner. Again HOW ?

The weather is about to break so it's time to start wrenching on my M35. Do any members sell and ship brake shoes ? I will need at least 6 shoes and I would rather buy from a member than ERICK'S or CLARKS if the price is comparable.
Ok I've been reading threads every nite till I'm getting bugeyed so here's the question. Am I being to conservative or repair scared with my deuce? My stock deuce appears to run fine but since I bought it the speedo has seen 50mph once while going downhill and I usually cruise between 40 and...
I am running singles on the rear of my 67 AMGEN M35a2c. I am using the original tires and bud rims. I just removed the outer wheel and installed lugnuts like the front.I have seen pictures of this setup but their hubs did not stick out. My hubs protrude 7 or 8 inches. What am I doing wrong if...
