    Fuel pump issues

    A few good taps with a pin and it's tight as new. Thanks for the advice.

    Fuel pump issues

    I'll try that, when I put it together the fuse seemed to hold the clip in place but it's cockeyed quite a bit. Definitely don't want it falling out

    MV of the month June nomination

    No need to be self conscious guys, just because it isn't a show truck doesn't mean it's ineligible! To prove that I'll nominate two and a half ton Tilly the wonder Jeep, an absolute workhorse of rusty green iron. Who's going to run against her?

    Fuel lift pump on auxiliary switch

    After a day of dodging raindrops, sorting wires, and reading, I found a post from 2014 that suggests the hack job seen here is mostly correct, with the exception of wire 1 being hooked to nothing and burnt to a crisp. I am going to repair it and connect it along with wire 15 (battery voltage) to...

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    I like it how it is, cutouts sound like a lot of Dremel work.

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    Exterior box section: 16 1/2" Interior box section: 14" I have an A2, not an A2C, so no slats/drop sides, and mine came without bows or cover, but I hope this helps some. Edit: my data plate has a height clearance of 13 feet 2 inches, I'm assuming that's the cargo cover height, hopefully...

    Starting new thread for same old problem.....

    I went back and found where you listed the part number for the pump, 32gph, 4.5-9 psi, 1/8"x27 npt fittings. Is that correct? This one? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_6101034 If it is I think your guess is correct and it's not supplying nearly enough fuel to keep that thirsty girl fed...

    Fuel pump issues

    Putting it back together and I noticed the lead from the fuse to the pump on the distribution block inside the top cap is loose, the copper rivet and the fuse holder spin together with miniscule pressure applied, but I noticed there's a "stop block" on the distribution block, is it designed to...

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    Awesome! I can imagine it's a bittersweet feeling for you watching the movie. I talked to my wife this morning and she's on board to make the cover, she dabbles in miniatures so it's right up her alley. When you get the dimensions let me know and we'll set it up along with what color you want...

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    I'm most excited for this. The M35 is what got me in to MVs, it's my first MV, it will forever be my favorite wheeled MV. If you want/need pics for reference, I'll gladly volunteer whatever you may need, can even convert pics to line by line SVG if need be. Your work is beyond words, thank you...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I don't mean to tell you how to live your life, but please do NOT push yourself with that hernia! I almost lost my mother because she pushed herself while putting the operation off, recovery took months and was an uphill drag on ice! We'll be praying for you, stay strong and rest up

    Starting new thread for same old problem.....

    I don't think it's the pump, I think it's from gaining a sixteenth of an inch in line size. So I guess technically it is the pump, but there's nothing wrong with the unit itself other than it can't supply the volume necessary to keep the truck running. I could be wrong and it could be...
