Brake Fluid Leak.
I just use the truck in the yard so no road worries. One day maybe but I have to find the leak first. I just replaced the axle boot on one side and looked at the slave cylinder but it was ok. Both axles have been leaking it might have hidden the brake leak. When i replace...
Ordered a tachometer cable and an e-brake cable. Both been needed for months.
I started it yesterday and topped up the brake fluid which was empty! Can't find the leak so far.
Thanks for the response. I've been working on installing a winch on my truck for several months now in my spare time which is always tight. Every turn requires me to learn something new and slows the progress. I will get several gaskets. I appreciate the help. ballencd
Does this "completely separate PTO" operate all the time the transmission is spinning? Or another way to ask. Can you drive the truck w/o the PTO in operation?
TM 9-2520-246-34P has a part number listed and says two are needed (I assume one under the PTO and one under the PTO cover) but no reference to thickness or if multiple need to be stacked for accurate gear depth. Does this really need to be set or is one gasket what most folks use? Inquiring...
M1007 - Thats not a bad idea....
I had not thought of that conversion. My 91 Burb is in great shape with only 124000 miles on it and it is already tan. I might start looking for a M1009 donor vehicle for the military parts. Mine is only a 1/2 ton but I don't four wheel at all. Just use it...
Very nice looking cage. Makes me want another M1009. I drove mine for 18 years and ended up selling it when I had 3 boys that had to be put in the back every time we went somewhere. I have a Suburban now, and like it, but its not an M1009 and I really miss the diesel. The Suburban has a/c too...
I think it looks great but would like to see another picture or two of the outside again. Thanks for the info on the Tube Clamps. They are pretty cool. Charlie
Arghhh!
Gringeltaube,
Thanks for the instructions. I should have caught that and have had the non-gear end apart several times when installing the seals and the actuator shaft. I will do it one more time. I have been working on this for several months as you know and never have more then a...
Can I pull gear end of winch off to replace the drum seal without removing the gears?
:whistle:I'm wanting to replace the drum seal on the drive end of my winch and want to know if the whole end of the winch can be removed without removing the ring and worm gear first? The manual says to...
Thanks for the pictures of the slider mounting. Looks very solid. What is the name of the connector you welded into the roll cage? I've never seen them before. I assume they are so you can remove to get access to something and/or get the cage into place...??? Nice job!
Really nice looking cage there. What are you bending and cutting the pipe with? How are you attaching the sliders to the frame? Any more pictures on the underside of the sliders? I'm needing some on my Suburban soon. Thanks and again.....Nice job!
Bobbed M35 with dump conversion pictures
I built a sub frame out of 2X2 square tubing and bolted it to the original bed mounts so the entire bed with lift can be removed if needed. The pump is also mounted to the sub frame as can be seen in the first two pictures.

Bobbed M35 with dumpconversion
I went to a local salvage yard and found a set of 22 ton springs for my M35 bobbed truck which was converted to a dump at the same time. I cut 32-33" off the rear of the rails, and installed the single spring set with grade 8 bolts. I also cut the bed down by...
