    M35 power steering owners Opinion: Donor box or Char-Lynn steering assist unit best?

    You could run a steering servo, but you would have to mount a hydraulic ram for assist. Keep the stock box and steering, servo goes inline and powers a ram for assist. Probably a little less work than mounting a box.

    Who makes the best hub boot?

    They make boot guards, which work awesome for rocks, stumps and mud, but I'm sure if you went bombing through brush you'd still rip one. Here's mine.

    Who makes the best hub boot?

    Same thing happened to me. I've installed 6 sets now and never had a problem. This time I decided to buy the cheaper ones and they both ripped within 2 miles. The rubber is super thin and very easy to rip. Guess I'll order my next set from ouverson engineering.

    5 ton disc brakes

    I gotta ask. Whats the details on this truck? Seems like a fetch to drive an old school monster truck on the street. This is what I envision driving down the road. http://wildmanjeff.com/media/files/84_4wd7__8.jpg

    I don't think so, but I'll check.

    5 ton disc brakes

    If it's for an off road toy, I'd go pinion brakes. Cheap and work great. All of the huge mud trucks usually use same set up and seems to work great. Modern monster trucks use pinion brakes also.

    Generator issues

    Yea, voltage seemed more than reasonable to me. I should have another switch laying around. Only cable I didn't replace during the rebuild was the battery to frame, so I'm going to replace it just to be safe.

    Generator issues

    These lights are designed to run on 33 volts max, they all worked perfect today. What are y'all's thoughts on the gauge reading high? If it's charging within spec should I not rely on the gauge? I'm stumped. I'll go over all the connections better and see if I find anything.

    Generator issues

    Here's a pic. Batteries and cables are all new, 6 months old. I'll go back and recheck everything.

    Generator issues

    I'm guessing my truck has a generator, it doesn't have the regulator on the back, it's got a metal fan. I have pics if needed. Static battery voltage is 26.35, which seems high, water level is about an inch from the fill. Voltage while running is 29.4 at the battery and out of the generator...

    Thanks for the tips, grounds should be good, but I'll check. Which direction will decrease volts? Clockwise, counter?

    Good call, I'll check the batteries and pull the charging lead. The regulator external on these trucks?
