Hey guys, it's been I while since I've posted. I'm getting ready to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge from Summit in my M109. I don't have the truck at the house so I need some help with estimating the length of line from the sending port to the gauge. I'll come through the firewall...
My wife's truck has a pinhole in one of the air tanks so I ordered a NOS tank. Got it and hopped under the truck to swap the tank out. I pulled the old tank and sat it on the table next to the new tank. Turns out the new tank is plumbed for way larger fittings at the ends, 3/4" in fact. The...
All, The batteries on the the M35 I just picked up are D-E-D. I figured I'd try to desulfate then charge them before I run out and grab new batteries. It's nice and sunny here today and as soon as that solar plate hit the sun the Solargizer started to squeal. I pulled the leads from the batts...
The truck I picked up yesterday has some oil leaking where the air line connects to the compressor. I'm guessing it's engine oil that's blowing by the compressor piston. There's no oil in the air tanks so it's not too much getting by. I'm going to go pick up a new fitting to see if that'll...
I have the part number for the compressor belt from an earlier post by Recovry4x4:
Does anyone have the commercial part numbers for the alt belts on the deuce? I'm going to pick up mine and a buddy's new truck next week and I'd feel better if I had a spare set of belts with me.
How hard are the M149A2s to come by? And at what price? Looks like they're rare on GL. The other option might be to get an IBC or collapsible water tank from Northern and put it in the M101, but neither has the same aesthetic as the buffalo. My T/T has a 25 gallon tank. Not nearly enough...
I'm not looking to single out my 109, but I was interested in singling an M35 if we pick one up for my wife. I came across these in my search for rims:

I don't need the beadlocks because I'm not rockcrawling. I am...
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement valve for the air hookup in the crew compartment? The valve leaks and it's a huge PITA to open because of years of non use and multiple coats of paint. I put a quick connector on it, but I'd like to clean it up.
I just picked up my first MV. Much thanks to FMJ on here. I've been browsing the board for tips and I'm really impressed with the amount of collective knowledge on here. Good to know that if I can't figure it out, it's a sure thing that someone here already has.
