you have to now days, otherwise you never know what will happen...

Thanks for the tips and reply doghead! The FDC isn't bypassed, but again the oil doesn't seem to be diluted or to contain any diesel. I'm wondering if it is a front crank seal though, hate to see what that takes to replace... in either work or $$$ cost... :( Yes I do have about a gallon and...

Great Trick, have to remember that, Thanks!

This just in: A guy stopped by here in the walmart parking lot, and gave us a number to call. We did and we Might have a shop who will do the work. Will update when I can. Thanks All

Just running diesel, have never run wmo or anything, but the oil looks pure. Doesn't appear to be thinned or mixed, nor does it smell like diesel. I sure hope its not a head gasket.... good to know that if it was it could starve the valve train of oil. Appreciate the info Rayzer [thumbzup]

Thanks for the reply rosco! And you're right, its doable, just might take a few days. We are now all parked at the walmart parking lot, and have permission from the managers to stay here for a few days. So we're in no big rush, as we sure don't want to get any further into the mountains with...

Thanks jwaller! Yeah, thats what we're thinking. Hopefully we can get the lug nuts loose, either with 3/4 impact or with breaker bar. If so then yes we can fix it, as I just posted before I saw your post.

Appreciate all the help Everyone, it was a good try especially on a saturday. But it looks like everything is closed until monday. We may try to see if we have enough tools to do this ourselves in the walmart parking lot, as we are going to have to leave the hotel in an hour. The biggest thing...

We've tried All leads posted above, but they have seemingly turned into dead ends... :cry:

Ok, Thanks Again Artisan! We were able to get a hold of Steve, he's given us a couple ideas, one being a regular tire shop, so we may be able to figure something out here. Still working on it though, will update as things progress.

Thanks Artisan for the info! We'll contact them and see where that takes us.

Thanks Dave, Very Much Appreciate the help! We're running into the same thing on our end, we've called every shop we have found so far, and all of them also seem to be closed too. Looks like we may have to just sit tight until monday.

Thanks for the reply Flyingvan911 and that's a Good thought. But we had already disconnected the manifold heater fuel lines and wires back a few months ago (as we couldn't get it to work properly) and installed an ether system to replace it. Also the oil, on the dip stick or whats leaked out...

Thanks zout for the info! We called both, but only got answering machines, but hopefully they'll call back. We'll keeping looking in the mean time.

Hey All, its been a while since I've made a post. Just been Really Busy, and we are currently in the middle of moving. A few days ago we left from a friends place in Kansas, and took the 'eastern' route on hwy 385/85 toward North Dakota, which we then took Interstate 94 to Billings Montana...

OK, Ive been searching today... And there is a lot of posts here on SS about how heavy of a trailer you can pull with the deuce. BUT What about Payload (Whats in the Deuce Bed) PLUS pulling a Trailer?? Here is what I want to do: We have an M35A2 that we have owned for a little over a year...

After thinking about the wiring again. I do remember when I was going through the deuce wiring harness, the wires to the manifold heater would pretty bad. So I cut back to good wire, and added on a new lead and mil connector. I think I'm going to recheck that. I doubt its the problem, as I have...

I agree with you partially. Di-electric grease is electrically insulating, and is usually used for spark-plug boots and other similar rubber type connections, for ease of installation and to seal the connection. However, Di-Electric grease can also be used on almost any electrical connection...

I've went through most of the electrical system, BUT that is a possibility. I might take the connections apart and take a look. i do have electrical cleaner, and Di-electric grease.
