    Took a little bit of looking around to figure out what you meant by the splash guard in the MC. But no the splash plate is not removed. I will be knocking it out and reinstalling

    Brake frustrations!

    I gave it a couple of squirts of air oil when I first installed the air pack. And my truck has the remote reservoir kit for the master cylinder.

    Yes, the plastic Battery Box 12368318 will fit all 2-1/2 ton and the 5 ton trucks. I have found one listed on Eastern Surplus and was thinking on going that route.

    Hey. I want to thank you guys for the responses. I will try two brand new batteries in it and see what she does. One thing I need to do is get a new battery box. The bottom of the steel box has rusted to where it's completely gone. I should start with that so I have a place to put the...

    M35a2 Deuce won't Start

    Well. The batteries are hooked up in series. Everything is connected the way that the wiring diagrams show it to be. I went ahead and cleaned every ground that relates to the starter. I also just pulled the starter and opened it up to see if it was carboned up. But it was definitely clean...
