    Dead Pilot's M38a1

    I ended up with a new rescue this month. Got my hands on pretty clean 52 M38a1. Looks like someone started to restore but stopped. All the major parts, very little rust and the engine is free. Won't know if she starts up till I can clean out the fuel system. Going to go through all the brakes...

    Adding a Turbo to a non with side exhaust

    So I've been thinking about add a turbo to my M36. Currently it doesnt have a turbo but I have all the stuff to add the turbo minus the exhaust. I currently have the side exhaust and was tying to see if I can keep the side exhaust instead of going to the stack. Is there a reason why all the...

    Cab ground issue

    I'm back to working on M36 after some time off of it since I broke the dog bone after the brakes failed. Till I get the parts in for that repair I'm started back up in the cab and found that none of my gauges are working not even the horn. I have a new front harness installed and got a new...

    Dead Pilots M109a3

    I ended up with a M109a3. I started on this project for some one else and things changed due to medical stuff on their end. So I ended up with it. Luckily it's in pretty good shape. Just changed all the wheel cylinder, wheel seals and re packed the bearings. She runs great just needs some tires...

    Air pack rebuild issue

    In the process of rebuilding my brake system on my M36, I am on to rebuilding the air pack. Nothing came apart easily but it all did. The only part that didnt come apart was the pushrod bushing. So the question is this a replaceable part or is the whole pack trashed? Sent from my SM-G975U...

    Brake line flush

    I'm getting ready to do the brakes on my M36. I have no idea what's in my lines since it's been sitting for so long. I was just looking at what I could do to clear out the lines so I don't have to go through so much DOT 5. Would compressed air work then bleed the system ? Sent from my SM-G975U...

    Coolant system flush problem

    I'm trying to clean out my system before I put my radiator, thermostat and water pump back in. I spray water in through coolant manifold and it flows and comes out a bolt hole the water pump was bolted up to. But when I spray water in the oil cooler side it just backs up and pours out. So I'm...

    FDC bypass with non turbo

    I've seen a lot of info on everyone with the FDC bypass with turbos but havent been able to find anything on the non turbo bypass. I know nothing changes on what it done for the bypass. But since I dont have a turbo I shouldn't have to worry about exhaust temps right? Sent from my SM-N950U...

    Engine startup advice

    I am planning on trying to started up my M36a2 this coming week since I was able to get it home last week. The engine hasn't been started in about 6 years or so. The oil seems to be good from what I can tell. No water in the oil from the spots I checked. The fuel is old but the tank doesn't have...

    Cab air line routing

    Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how the air lines on the inside firewall. Neither of the cabs I had had the airlines on them. So I have a bunch of lines and parts. I looked at the TM and that wasnt too helpful. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Glass to frame seals

    I'm looking to find sources for the seals that go around around the glass on the inside of the frames for both the windshield and windows on the doors. When I took my glass out to clean the frames and repaint them the seals didn't survive. I found one place (oshkosh equipment supply) that has...

    Gauge cluster stenciling

    I'm sure its probably somewhere on here but the search function didn't help me too much. I'm in the process of repainting the cab and I was thinking about trying to redo the markings on the cluster. Any inputs on where to get a stencil made up for those? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    M1102 missing brake parts

    I finally got to checking out the m1102 I pick up last week. I went to check the wheel bearing and brake drive side was all good. Then I found a surprise when I removed the passenger side wheel. It seems like the whole brake drum and insides are gone and it's just the outer part that the wheel...

    New trailer added to my collection

    I just picked up a m1102 from a govplanet auction last week. Drove up to yermo today a picked it up and drove it back to fallbrook today. It drove back with no issues. From what I gathered from some paper work found it was in a roll over and then was sent to drmo I'm guessing. The frame and axle...

    Firewall grommets

    Does anyone have a source for the firewall grommets for the main wire harness and steering column? The other wires I'm not too worried about but those ones don't seem to be an easy find. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Alternator upgrading

    So my M36 didn't come with a generator or alternator and the bracket. So I'm trying to get some inputs to upgrade to something better or put the milspec one back in. I saw a few older post about people using wolverine technologies and one other I can't remember right now. So just looking for...
