    Holiday Weekend

    Bridgeton, NJ, Memorial Day Parade. Gotta draw straws to see what I'll take. Been in this parade every year since 1954, save two, as a Boy Scout, CW reenactor and the past ten years or so with a mil-vehicle. I'm usually the only one with a MV, since the NG quit participating. Everybody waves...

    Brake light problem..Grrrrrr

    Unplug the wires from the switch and jump them to see if you get brake lights. If so, the switch is defective. I think that I have a correct switch NOS $29.00 + UPS. You can just go to an auto parts store and get a generic 12 volt brake light switch. Yes, it'll work on 24 volt, but you lose the...

    Deuce home! Good/bad news...

    Correct Mike. One guy I know made one out of wood! Getting the transmission input shaft back into the clutch and pilot bearing can be a test, but it helps to know that the disk is centered. Then you know it will go in once it's lined up right.

    how to identiy an LDS-465?????

    >but in several cases they never "got around to it". Chances are, this would also be the case if you purchase and then have a problem.

    Make sure that you use a dummy spline to line the disk up. An extra transmission input shaft works real good, if you can find one. Maybe a shop will have one you can use or maybe you can buy a dummy spline that fits.

    LDS and LDT look the same. Ask for pics of the motor's data plate.

    Cargo covers on E-Bay

    Sold early on a Buy It Now deal. I've never heard of or seen a cover that is so universal, that is, fitting 2-1/2 ton and 5-ton. I've seen some beautiful vinyl 3-color cargo covers sold for the M35A2. They were cheap @ $225.00 NOS, but the sides were so long they came down past the tie down hooks.

    Knuckle boot question.....

    Dannell, I went to the site and glanced, but I didn't find the boots. The advantage to the zipper is not having to remove everything (wheel, drum, brakes and backing plate) in order to install them.

    A few more add-ons for a super sweet ride.

    Gimbled drink holders are available at marinas. Had 'em in my boats.

    Winch drive

    Thanks, Bill. Right now it looks like I have everything he needs. He added several items to what he posted. Just waiting to hear from him so I can pack and get a UPS quote.

    Fuel Pump Not Working

    2800; governor must have been modified. It's a wonder you didn't suck a valve.

    Air Reservoir Safety valve

    My M35A2 goes to about 120 psi and I think your truck is the same. Being on top is why I never noticed it on the trucks I had. I guess all you have to do is bring the air up and pull the pin and let some air out. The ones I did have on my civvy trucks had a ring on the pin. I don't know the...

    Lug Nut Torque Specs.

    Ya got that right, Dixie, Back when we had a fleet of heating oil delivery trucks my dad and a helper used two 5' pieces of pipe on a T-bar lug wrench to tighten them. It was also a 2-man job to loosen them, and a solid jolt was encountered when they finally broke loose. I got old and invested...

    Winch drive

    I think that I have what you need, the collar that slides onto the winch input shaft that has the holes for the shear pin and the U-joint. The shaft I have is complete on the winch end, but missing the pto end connection. I also have the correct aluminum shear pins with cotter pins @ $6.00. The...

    Air Reservoir Safety valve

    I'm puzzled. I've owned at least four M211s and one M135, but I don't recall that item. Might have been there and I just didn't see it. I suppose if you pull the pin, air will releease. If it's mounted on the bottom of the tank, you might get water first.

    M1008 wheel specs?

    I purchased several padded dashes from my local GMC dealer, over the years. The last time might have been the last time. Price was up a hundred bucks and the counterman said that the item was going to be discontinued.
