    Wiring on my '52

    I checked the Midwest Military site and Mr. Bizal sells a front and a rear wiring harness. Might be looked at as a bit pricey but when you factor in all your time and effort to not have to source the parts and fabricate it yourself it doesn't look bad at all. Plus it will get you back on the...

    Wiring on my '52

    I've got a 1952 M37 also, along with two M35A2's. The M37 uses the Douglas metal connectors while the M35A2's use the rubber Packard connectors. Most of the wire I've run into on these military vehicles has been the 14 Gauge (Prestolite) M13486/1-5 wire. I can't recall running into any...

    Primary spin on fuel filter question

    Thank you all very much! Thank you all for the help. I took off the plug on the line at the fitting at the top of the fuel pump and turned on the accessory switch and no fuel came out. Checked the plug at the fuel pump and got 26 volts DC when I turned on the accessory switch. Took the top...

    If the pump is working with a new dry primary filter and the lines dry any estimate on how long it should take for fuel to appear at the secondary and final filter asembly bleed valve? Is 4-5 minutes excessive?

    Primary spin on fuel filter question

    Hard to hear anything over that ferschlugginer low air pressure horn. Darn thing worked before I decided to get fancy and change the primary fuel filter to the spin-on type.

    Primary spin on fuel filter question

    Should I remove the new filter and see if it pumps to that point from the tank as a first step?

    Primary spin on fuel filter question

    Changed out military primary fuel filter for the spin-on one found on other threads on this forum. Fuel lines were dry for a couple months. Tech manual says to open the fuel bleeder valve located on the secondary and final fuel filter assembly, turn on the accessory switch (low air pressure horn...

    M35 Operating temp??

    Overheating I would definitely be concerned. Tech manual operating procedures says normal operation temp gauge should be 180-200 degrees F, and to stop engine immediately if engine temp rises sharply to 210 degrees F or more or stays below 180 degrees F. Mine was having the tendency to climb...

    difference between A2 and A3 bed

    Another difference I was doing some looking on the web a while back and I believe the A3 bed is the same as the A2 bed but it might have the cargo tie-downs installed as well as an extra "cut-out" on the rear face of the bed that mount 3 red side marker lights and the trailer connector facing...

    0-120 Oil Gauge Installation

    Oil Pressure range TM 9-2320-209-10-1 lists the startup oil pressure is 30 to 40 PSI. TM 9-2320-361-10 Section 2-4 says the normal oil pressure range is 10 to 75 PSI. Looks like the safe play is to have the 0-120 PSI transmitter and gauge rather than the 0-60 PSI setup.
