    M35 Heater NOS?

    The -10 TM shows pics. There's the heater box/core that goes under the hood, with coolant lines. There's a plenum/blower/duct unit. There's a set of control knobs/cables that have one for the damper, and one for defrost. There's another small control panel with a High/off/Low toggle switch). I...

    Missing a plug here?

    Its in the Operation, Installation, and Reference Data -10TM. I was reading it over again, since I was on babysitting duty today... (I blow up and print out the line drawings of the M35A2 to give him to color in). There should be a dummy threaded hole with a plug in it, to take out and use to...

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    I have no experience with it on a deuce, but they previous comments about scrub radius are worth noting. On smaller offroad trucks, where I've changed backspacing, or added a couple inches of width through spacers, the steering effort is noticably increased, especially if you ever find...

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Well, you do have the rears on a different path/track than the fronts. Sometimes big tires do like to follow ruts/depressions/crack/etc in the road. I wonder if flipping the hubs and reversing the rims to make the rears track the front would help. Overall, a good time to go through everything...

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Looks nice, do you have any pictures along the side, to show how far the rear tires are under/out from the bed? As for the sway, check pressures first, then take a look at your toe-in. You'll need some, but too much can also cause wobble/wandering.

    HEMTT wheel adaptor plates

    Yeah, in general people tend to look at bolts in these applications as shear pins taking the forces(drive flanges are a good example). Their main job is to provide clamping force, and the shear loads are actually handed by the friction between the clamped parts. Thinking back to the drive-flange...

    Deuces hard on asphalt?

    Yeah, my old V10 dodge 2500HD with big cap on the bag and the usual stuff I had was around 7600 lbs with me in it (as per the scrapyard scales), on skinny 245 tires. My 4 tire'd trailer was 7000lbs loaded, so I'd be 14000+ on 10 skinny tires with no damage to either of my driveways. But...
