    Injection pump O ring replacement

    If diesel fuel leaks into the engine oil, is this caused by the fuel shut off shaft O ring leak, or can this be also caused by leaky hydraulic head O rings? Also0, can I replace these O rings with the fuel pump still mounted on the engine?

    Injection pump O ring replacement

    Someone on this site (do not remember the name) sells all three O-rings required, made of correct material. I think there is a youtube video on replacing the shut off O ring made by the same guy. Do some searching.

    Changing the Air Compressor belt

    I remember when I did this job for the first time, I had already had the special wrench, but the handle was too short so i could not loosen the pulley hub. I slipped a 3 ft pipe over the end of the wrench handle and that did it. As for the other (nut) wrench, I just used a large open end...

    Injection pump O ring replacement

    Is it easy to replace both the fuel shut off lever and the hydraulic head O-rings with the injection pump in place? What obvious precautions should be taken? Is it better to remove the pump from the engine? I saw a video on U tube for replacing the shut off lever O-ring, but did not find one...

    M934 licensing requirements in Florida

    Does this mean a commercial class C driver's license is required? Why ClassC? Class C CDL is for buses and plackarded trucks hauling hazardous materials. Regular non commercial driver's license is class E license and that's good enough for driving a deuce. I thought that having an air brake...

    M934 licensing requirements in Florida

    Can someone tell me what class driver's license is required in Florida to drive a M934 van truck with air brakes (I assume it has air brakes). I believe it can be registered as a motorhome in Florida. Any other registration to minimize the annual tag renewal fee in Florida?

    Fuel tank pump fuel line fitting

    I have hard time trying to loosen the main steel fuel line on the tank transfer pump. I sprayed penetrating oil on the nut but still cannot break it loose. I do not want to force it for fear of breaking the block fitting on the pump. What is the purpose off the internal hex small plug on the...

    Deuce fuel tank question

    I just wanted to replace the existing 50 gallon tank because it has a lot of sludge buildup in it . The new tank is of different size and will not fit the existing mounting brackets.

    Deuce fuel tank question

    Did they ever use different fuel tanks (instead of the 50 gallon single tank) on some deuce models? Like a couple of 55 gallon tanks for the tractor version, for example? I forget which truck uses two 55 gallon tanks, is it the 800 series wrecker, or tractor? Anyway, I do not believe it is...

    Diesel fuel problems

    The fuel shut off is definitely not the problem. I found out to my aggravation that to remove the primary filter, one must apparently remove the alternator to access the upper nut securing the filter canister. When I opened the petcock on that filter, nothing came out, meaning there is...

    Diesel fuel problems

    I drained most of the fuel tank and the walls of the tank and even the drain plug bottom are coated with reddish sludge. I doubt I have an issue with the fuel shut off, but I will check just to make sure. I need to see if the transfer pump is pumping any fuel at all because it intake could be...

    Diesel fuel problems

    I did not realize that diesel fuel goes bad in time just like gasoline. It seems to me that old formulation high sulfur diesel did not, at least not for a long time. I had a 5 gallon can of old diesel that sat for 15 years and it still smelled like good diesel fuel 15 year later. Anyway, I...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Thanks for the reply, do you happen to know about the same type 15W40 motor oil used in engine, transmission, and transfer case in this truck?

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I do not own an M35A3, but am thinking about getting one (possibly M109A4). Is it true that they use 15W40 motor oil for engine, transmission and the transfer case in that truck? What maximum sustained highway speed is this vehicle capable of without overreving the engine with standard size...
