I agree. I don't chime in much on posts here at SS, but I do try to look at what folks are talking about at least every other day if I can. I will add from experience or from what I have seen. I was told by my father at a very young age that once you think you are an expert at something you will...

Getting the hands dirty has been my life. But understanding how things work and why to me makes me more than just an average mechanic or grease monkey. This is some of what I have been looking at: PS Magazine 393 Pages 42, 43: And Floridianson this I believe is your addition about the cork...

That LO you are referring to is 22 years old. The military was only concerned with mission ready not longevity thinking. They had a big supply, support and maintenance command to fix the broke things usually looking like it did not cost much to the trucks operator point of view also. Now don't...

Ok guys, l have been doing a lot of research on the Rockwell axles on these trucks and yes the correct full level from the US Army "HeadShead" as it was called is 1/2" below the fill plug on level ground. Above that and the oil can go past the seal on the end of the axle and will mix and "wash...

Uh-oh here we go again. Tubing size, hose size and the end fitting that goes to that is confusing enough for most. Now start adding the thread size and pitch (length) of the thread of the fitting in relation to the size of the "hose or tube", that will just mess up all the works at the north...

Just got back from taking it to the show for staging. This is some pictures of before: It needed it.

The MVCC (Military Vehicle Collector's of Colorado) was asked to participate in this years Denver Auto Show. The only catch was the powers to be wanted to see pictures of the vehicles so they could say "yes or no" to being in the show. The photo that the club sent in of my wife's M1010 is from a...

The original color from the factory was burgandy or dark red. The replacements were gray. All Chevy CUCV also came with floor mats wall to wall and door to door but were removed in most cases because the troops were required to wash the truck clean inside out before turn in at the end of the...

I think you are looking for nsn 2590-00-739-7740. It's also military part number 73797744. It comes as two pieces to make hole and there are places that have them new. Including that one auction site. Hope this helps.

The copper nuts is an idea I did not think of and yes anti seize on all hardware is a very good idea. In your pictures that is what I ended up doing also. The two coolant manifolds that mount to the heads on my truck had a small leak, found that both were not flat when put on a flat surface, the...

Two of the fasteners are bolts with nuts and lockwashers. The other two are studs that are threaded into the manifold and use the same nuts and lockwashers. If you snapped the nuts off of the studs be very careful in removing bad studs, the cast metal of the manifold does not handle force well...

Rustystud, great job on this. It does look like something the military machine would come up with to adapt to a vehicle that did not have this function, probably the cost would be a heck of a lot more than you put into it, thanks for sharing this with the community. I was wondering what is the...

That part is aluminum, I'm not sure of the size of the plug but one possible fix you could look into is getting i piece of flat stock aluminum and have anyone very familiar with welding aluminum cap the "hole". Trying to smooth out the port and keeping it round and straight while on the engine...

A buddy had a late 80's Chevy 1 ton truck camper special that had the spare in front of the grill. Can't remember the mounting but it was a pita to open the hood and to do anything in the engine compartment. His truck had the 454 gas motor and a huge camper that extended about 2 feet past the...

Jbayer, can you post a picture of the bugs you found?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the lower knock out hole is part of the driver's side headlight assembly and on the newer trucks the knock out is not there. The side engine cover panel on the older trucks did not have the knock out while the newer ones did, so it looks like you got a mix of both...

I don't own the newer m35a3 but I know someone that dose and his transmission is looked up also. He thinks it my be do to the military's use of 30sae motor oil in the transmission instead of actual automatic transmission fluid. The oil gets old starts to crud up and that's all she wrote...

I'm in for this lino, top shelf work and design. Just and idea to bring the initial cost down. Have a hardware parts list for all the add-on fittings and the gauges you recommend for use along with the filter numbers. That way the person buying the "plate and mount with the internal regulator"...

Look in TM 9-2320-361-34 chapter 12 page 12-1, that shows the steering shaft assembly. Page 12-7 shows the breakdown on the gearbox. Also you can see a complete breakdown in TM 9-2320-361-34P, Figure 115. On Page 12-9 in the -34 part #5 there are two studs on bearings that slide in the channel...

Removing the entire unit will take some time and ability. Removing the arm from the gearbox is about the easiest thing to do. There should be alignment marks on both the arm and the shaft to put it back on. You will need to lift the front of the motor until the rear motor lifting bracket is...
