    1970 5-ton 6x6 needing wiring diagram.

    Thanks for your fast reply. I have had this truck for about 10 years. I built a lake and my wife would push the earth scraper with it. I decided to get it licensed and couldn't find head lights so I had a wiring diagram, (which I can't find anywhere) and taped onto the center of the 2-12volt...

    My 5-ton stopped running all the sudden.

    Thanks for info. I first went to the spare engine and removed the cover. I noticed the way the shut off pulls the fuel control back to kill engine. I also noticed that the little lever was completely free to slide back and forth. I then took the cover off the truck engine. You are right...

    My 5-ton stopped running all the sudden.

    I bought this 1970 5-ton cab and chassis from GovDeals at lebanon, Missouri about 5 years ago. It was turned in by a local fire department. I called them before buying the truck and they said it had a new engine in it. It had all new goodyear 1100R20 tires and no bed. I was in the airforce...

    Engine stops running at a half tank

    Well Ridgerunner, you were pretty close to what the problem was. When I removed the pump, I noticed that it looked short. As you know Ridgerunner, there are two long brackets with holes down the sides. Someone had apparently pulled this pump and found that the output pressure hose was...

    Engine stops running at a half tank

    Thanks to you all I will learn someday to check out the whole site before posting in the wrong place. Sorry I think the bottom falling off the pump is the closest thing yet. I has to be something about the intake of the pump because it is sucking air into the system. Bubbles flowing through...

    Engine stops running at a half tank

    My M35A2 1971 runs and starts perfect. I always keep the fuel tank full. I am selling it and decided that I should not let a full tank of fuel go with it. I took out 30 gallons, started the engine, drove about a 100 feet and the engine died and would not restart. I put 15 gallons back in it...

    Panel light lens

    I have my M35A2 listed for sale in the classifieds. I have a SS member coming to check it out Sat. I had it advertised for a while in CraigsList for a $1000 more. One of the craigslist people didn't come to look at it when he said he would. He waited until I was in K.C. When I got home, I...

    Couple of heater questions

    I just got the bid on 4 of the winterizations kits just so I could put one in my M35A2. It turns out that my kits are definetly for a 5-ton. The Artic front cover is for a 5-ton without a winch. I had to make two brackets for the heater to mount in the right place. It was pretty simple to...

    This cold weather..

    I am still learning something every time i read a new thread. I was in AF from 60 to 65 and worked on Bomarc missiles in florida. I always wanted an army truck and finally bought an M35A2. It is in very good shape and I am trying to learn how to keep it that way. I am amazed at all the stuff...
