    New truck, carburetor symptoms?

    If you still want to get a mechanical fuel pump for your truck, NAPA M2090 will work. I just used one last week on a Chrysler 230 in another application. It was $47.48, and has a sediment bowl fuel filter made on the pump. Inlet and outlet are 1/8" NPT, so you should be able to use the fittings...

    John Tennis AKA JATonka

    Yes, I put them on dry. That came up in our conversation and John specifically said to put them on dry. I usually put a little of the appropriate type sealer or gasket adhesive on when assembling parts, but I figured I'd give this a try dry as suggested, and so far so good! When I...

    M816 Road Trip AR-TN-MS-AL-GA

    It's taken me long enough to get around to posting a followup, but here it is! The day started off a little foggy, but it turned out to be perfect weather for the drive home. I left western Arkansas at 4:10AM central time, and arrived home just North of Atlanta, GA at 7:15PM eastern time. The...

    John Tennis AKA JATonka

    I have a M35A2 that already had John's spin on oil filter adapter kit when I acquired the truck. It started to leak a little from between the original filter base and one of the adapters when it was really cold out side, but would stop after the truck ran for a few minutes and warmed up. When I...

    Goat soft top install

    The bead on the front of the top must be slid into the channel at the top of the windshield from one side or the other. It doesn't matter which side. It is usually easier if you have someone pulling on the end of the top while you feed and push it into the end of the channel. You may have to...

    Almost the proud powner of another mighty might

    Thanks for pointing that out, I forgot about the difference in the rear seats!

    Almost the proud powner of another mighty might

    There is no M422A2. Only M422 and M422A1. The M422A1 is 6" longer than the M422, and has 6" wide tool boxes right behind the front seats in front of the rear fenders. That is the only difference that I am aware of between the two from the factory. All Mighty Mites left the factory without a...

    breakdown columbus, miss

    2,800 PSI according to this manual. http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/troubleshooting%20the%20multifuel%20engine.pdf I spoke with him on the phone and he said it is broken off at the injector, so there may not be enough line there to attempt to put a compression fitting on. I...

    oval or round gpw muffler

    Depends on when it was built. The change happened in July 1942 according to this thread: G503.com Message Forums • View topic - Time line round muffler replacement? Also, you might look and see if your jeep still has any brackets on the bottom side of the body. The round muffler had larger...

    I have towed trailers with a gama goat before. No big deal.

    9:00 V 11:00 tires

    I think going with 11.00s on your truck is a good choice. I have 11.00s on my M35 too. I think selling two of them would be a bad choice. As someone who participated in the 2009 transcontinental convoy, I strongly suggest taking a couple extra spares! I know you have a truck with dual wheels...
