Thanks for the tips. Is there a way to manually prime the fuel system so I don't have to use ether to get the engine to start? Also, what is the best way to look for leaks?

Hello everyone. I have a 1970 M35A2 with a D turbo. The truck ran fine when I had time to run it regularly but, alas, life has gotten in the way and I no longer get to run it regularly. I tried to start it the other day and it wouldn't start. With the help of a little ether, I was finally...

I saw that thread, but I'm still unsure why the brakes won't pump up... if it's a master cylinder issue or if I just need to rebuild the wheel cylinder and power bleed them...

Hi, I have a 70 deuce that seems to be having some brake trouble. I started it up last weekend to move it around the yard and the brake pedal went to the floor. I assumed this was a leaking wheel cylinder so I checked all 6 hubs and sure enough, the right front was wet. I bought some...

I have a 1970 multi-fuel D turbo and I've run into a problem where the engine idles down around 500 or so and struggles to stay running. I little tug on the hand throttle and it idles smoothly. In addition, it has very little power and takes forever to get up to speed. I'd like to start...

Thanks to everyone for making our first rally a great one. Gabby and I had a ball.

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask or not, but I was wondering if anyone attending the rally in Richloam is coming through or near Juliette Ga and wouldn't mind pulling an m105 trailer? PM me to work out the details. Thanks in advance. If this is not the right place, please just point me...

I'll be visiting for the day on Saturday with my daughter... not planning to stay for dinner.

gov liquidation isn't giving anything away these days... I was just watching 4 M35A2's and they went for between 4000 and 5400... not including the auction fee and sales tax... I like the idea of an M109 but since they're hard to find, I may just build a custom camper for the back instead...

What a huge difference... I can't wait to get started with the paint on my new goodies...

I did learn one important lesson tonight... when you drain those air tanks, keep you fingers away from where the air is rushing out... water and debris under pressure stings a bit. :)

Before I left the sellers yard with the 2nd deuce, I noticed the oil was prob about 1-2 qts over-full. When I went out to drain the air tanks a little bit ago, I noticed something has spattered all down the underside of the truck. The under side of the fuel tank and spare tire, the middle and...

Yes, I'm picking a new to me deuce up tomorrow (and the tires are from another member near the same area). The stock tires are pretty well worn out on it. I figure I'll put the G177s aside while I run the stock tires out around town for a month or so... I have to save a few hundred to have...

I should be picking up a set of those myself pretty soon... can't wait! Any suggestions or things I should watch for?

Thanks recovery... I hope not to need one too soon, but I would like to get one eventually... I'm talking to a member in GA that has one for sale... just working on transportation. Rayzor, you were probably listening, but the drone of that engine is hard to resist...

I've been reading about upgrading a sprag to an air-shift. It seems pretty straightforward so far, just swap the sprag t-case with and air-shift t-case and run the requisite air lines, etc... Is it really that simple? (except that it probably weighs 500lbs) Has anyone here in sunny FL ever...

Thanks guys... somebody should have warned me... these things multiply almost as fast as my rabbits... a few months ago I thought... I'd really like to have a deuce and a half to play around with and maybe get outta Dodge from time to time... by this time tomorrow I'll have two and a trailer...

First purchases are home safe and sound... and so the collection begins... Thank you to all the members that helped this newbie along the way. Ray, you saved my bacon with the driving tips you provided... thank you, again.

Hughdidi, I love the filter link from TSC... I didn't know they had that kind of stuff. They have a water sep/filter too. I'll probably use an electric pump from TSC since I have to go there for the other parts. Great link, thanks!

great thread and really great pics... makes it really easy to understand for a newbie.
