    SEE/HMMH CARC paint

    I will have to look at home, but I have used the Rapco CARC spray cans for Tan, Green, and Brown and it is essentially impossible to tell what I sprayed from a can and from a gun. My wheels were the exception (for the tan), but I believe that is due to the heat from the hubs/brakes caused the...

    California Title Registration Diesel Smog Law and GL loadout info for M35 Deuce 5 Ton

    That is a policy within DMV, which does not apply to parking enforcement or county ordinances, unless they call out items distributed by DMV (as in license plates or registration). DMV can say/state anything they want, they are just an agency of the state, but they do not issue nor enforce the...

    California Title Registration Diesel Smog Law and GL loadout info for M35 Deuce 5 Ton

    There certainly seems like a lot of historic vehicles floating around on the roads in CA. 41 new historic plates issued within 2 months of us getting our plates, as I got mine in January, and was registering mine the middle of November (2015).

    Shift lever light replacement

    What's that part called? My truck doesn't have the piece that has the lights or the letters to let me know what gear I am in.

    California Title Registration Diesel Smog Law and GL loadout info for M35 Deuce 5 Ton

    If you have a 5 ton then your GVWR is over 26,000lbs, so it puts you into the CDL requirements. If your truck doesn't require a CDL (under 26,000lbs, and let's not discuss the axle count), then you do not need to take the air brake test and not have an air brake restriction, as if you drive a...

    California Title Registration Diesel Smog Law and GL loadout info for M35 Deuce 5 Ton

    The Whittier code states unladen weight of 14,000lbs or greater is considered commercial (Ordinance 318 Section 10.40.020 D). It does also reference the CA vehicle code for commercial vehicles, so if you are over 14,000lbs, you need to meet the definition of the pickup. CVC §260.a. Definition...

    Is a smaller exhaust pipe an issue?

    Most guys don't bend the 3.5" and larger, they usually buy the premade ells and weld them together.

    California Title Registration Diesel Smog Law and GL loadout info for M35 Deuce 5 Ton

    The law for an air brake endorsement came in around 2010, but I do not have my code book in front of me. It addressed air over hydraulic braking specifically. Parking enforcement is a county/city agency and those are the codes they are most likely towing you for, not the state issued vehicle...

    Years of m35a2's

    I believe the last year of the A2 is 1989. I do know for a fact they built A2s during 1987, as I have one.

    No shortage of rolling stock

    They had quite a bit for sale a few weeks ago. Some went for a good price, others only had one bid and a few didn't receive any bids (those were pretty beat up). They probably learned to not do that many at one time, as a lot of folks that aren't businesses will not bid on more than a few at a...

    Was anyone here, the one with the five ton in the Folsom Veterans Day parade last year?

    Hmmwv power steering squealing help needed

    If it is squealing, that is more likely the belt, meaning the pump is not spinning freely. Adding fluid and bleeding was a good starting point, the next is to check the pump (as you mentioned).

    Engine wear above 55 mph (3000+ rpm)

    My buddy ran one at 65mph for many hours. He had his truck for at least a year (before it was blow up by the other people). Keep in mind the people that were driving these trucks before us "collectors" acquired them. They were 18-23yo men that had no one watching their driving habits. Not...

    ldy

    I don't daily drive my deuce, but I do start it up in the AM, when I drive to work, prior to me getting ready. It sits in my driveway (with the doors locked) and warms up, as I get dressed and such. By the time I get out to the truck and walk around it the temp gauge has already started to move...

    Pyro advice

    It makes shavings, not just powder (most folks that have drilled their manifolds witnessed this themselves). Yes, it is very big deal, as the exhaust turbine is what is on the other end of the exhaust manifold. That little turbine is spinning several times your engine speed, even when cold and...

    Pyro advice

    If you start up the truck and then start drilling and tapping, nothing is hot. When you finish, things will be warm, but this time of year, it feels good. Magnetizing the drill bit will still cause chips to end up in the exhausting impeller and do small damage.
