On the contrary, Pre-1985 or so M35's have anything but a redundant brake system (unless they've been upgraded). It's a single circuit system, unlike most passenger vehicles with dual circuit system. Meaning that if one item in the single circuit is lost, the whole system is inoperable. With dual circuit systems, you can lose either the front or back, and the other will still work.Thanks for all the replies. I just downloaded the Technical Manual (both versions) and will print them out later (I just prefer paper to a computer screen). I was unaware of a brake-failure problem. Are these trucks prone to losing the brakes? I thought they had some kind of redundant air system on top of the hydraulics.
Very simple to do. Just two valves somewhat behind the spare that you flip up.How often? What are the consequences if it is not done? Is it a pull pin?
Picking it up in FL. I have relatives in Pensacola I was thinking of visiting for a day or two before continuing the road trip. I really have no idea which way back to Vegas I will take. The northern route is shorter. The southern route is warmer. I guess I'll let the weather pretty much decide which way I go. Are you anywhere around the FL panhandle?i may of missed it, (at my age its easy to do) just where are you planing to fly to then drive back from, theres a good chance that there is a SS member close by, he would be happy to go over the truck with you, show you what you need to know and do. this would be a lot better then srarting out cold
by any chance a SS member is selling the truck
Accually you're doing more harm this way. The EGT and engine get hotter lugging than they will at high RPMs. You are doing just the opposite of what you're wanting to accomplish. Install a pyro and you'll see what I'm talking about.I will do my best to keep off the RPMs and try to lug her around at around 1500rpm or so, or cruise in overdrive at 35mphs for a few minutes to let the turbo cool down for shutdown.
And sometimes they just look at you like you just arrived in a flying saucer. I stopped at a different bank branch a while back and the ladys working inside looked nervous when I walked in. I parked the m35 right in front. The black stocking cap and coat probably didn't help any. I try to stop at that branch more now as its much easier to get in and out of with a big truck.I plan on an extra 15 min when I go anywhere, for public relations... I don't think have ever gone to the hardware store, feed store, gas station, etc without someone wanting to ask about the truck or ask about where/how I got it, etc....
