Sounds like the same issue I have but with the stock tail light assemblies. If any of the bulb blow, or missing a bulb in the switch not complete the circuit? Otherwise Im thinkin bad switch or bad flasher(the little black box thing ma bobber) lol. I checked the tm's and I didnt find anything...

I know it sounds confusing but thats the best way I can explain it. I did it by the sync of the valvea and the sound of the motor. If that makes sense.

I will replace the rod after I get my parts and gaskets on there. When I bent a rod before and put the new one in, it didnt sound right. I shut the motor off, pull the rod out, turn the engine over a little, then replace the rod. I tried to eye the valvea to see if they were in sync with the...

I would look up the threads about the different motors. Do some browsing and you will find what your looking for. If you're looking to spend money upwards of four grand, I would check the classified section and see what you may be interested in. Most are priced for what they're worth and at...

This may be a dumb suggestion but. . . I love watching the videos posted on youtube from steelsoldiers members. Watching them inspired me even more to buy my duece. Is there anyway a link or a forum for videos from the rallies and ect about their mv? I noticed they're scatted on youtube but I...

After reading a lot of the replies, I am glad I got an A2. Lot less issues and very basic. When I tell people it does not have power sterring, they say "Omg!! How do you handle that?" I say "It keeps your arms strong and it's a great anti cell phone talking/texting system!" But really I hear...

True, I did not know there was a 24v motorcylce light. Thats good to know. Is that something easily obtained and whats the manufacture/ part number? I could use that for future reference.

Also look up the 2 1/2 ton M35 on google and read the wilkapedia, you'll learn a lot abouthe truck and its history. . .

Depends on the model for the year. They were discontinued in the nineties. The other dates listed that have the mwo means the year they were overhauled in the military. Like others said, do a lot of searchin, many different models. Some have manuals, others have automatic trans as well as...

I had a similar problem. I had two new military batteries and less than a year one shorted out. Caused my alt regulator to short out and I blew six bulbs and melted the red plastic in the instrument panel. I learned from a mechanic why it is a common problem. The military batteries are glass...

I also wondered, because I had a bent push rod, and I know the timing is off for that cylinder, is there an easy way to fix it or just keep adjusting it over and over again until it sounds right? I did it before and it took me over an hour.

I ordered after market light from auto value but it was a pain lookin through their book. I still did not get the right ones. I made them work after doin some riggin, but I would call C and C equipment or Tnj Murray's.They are both reasonably priced and plenty on hand. Also for small bulbs and...

Usually a lot. Depends how much coolant seeps in. Sometimes it is very little so you'll never notice it, other times there is a lot and you know something isn't right, especially when the motor is warm, you should have clear or black, if white, not good. I would perform all your checks and...

I hope you find the issue. It could be a number of things. I would check all hoses and clamps. Makes sure they're tight. Run truck up to temp and look for leaks while its running. When my head gasket blew, no coolant got into the oil, I had smoke and compression shootin out the head gasket. If...

Hope everything works out for you. When its all done, that thing will an eye catcher even over built up 4x4's and muscle cars. . . just something about those military trucks really catches everybody's attention. If you need to have work done or guidence, I delt with Dave at D and D euipment...

I feel good about what I've got done so far. I remember reading a thread where someone mentioned about TD on the block that it's worth fixing. I guess I didn't realize thats what it meant. Thanks, thats good to know.

You will probably laugh but. . . . I have to leave the motor in the truck because I dont have the equipment to pull it, and technically Im not suppose to work on vehicle at my rental home. So I got permission from the tow owner who towed my truck to his business yard, to work on it there. Plus I...

I dont worry about seperating water unless the oil looks creamy, then I discard it, other wise just ad dry gas to remove water. My drum stands in back right above the fuel tank. Never had problems with authorities but I imagine there is a law as to how much you can transport. You can always use...

Sorry that was my bad, I use my phone and for some reason it posted twice. Im still learning this thing. I tried to see if I can delete the other post since there arent any pics on that one but I could not find that option.

I know your situation. I did the same thing. I wasnt always able to run on just wmo but it did cut down my fuel cost. I called all the local garages, repair facilities, and told everyone I knew and those I worked with, I will pay a dollar a gallon. Most garages seem to use the liability factor...
