Here are some pictures. There is a picture of how much I had to raise the back of the cab to get the tank out and a picture when the tank is going back in. The rest are of the truck before I started working on it. I will take more as I go. I am working on it outside there is not room in the...

I think I am going to make an adapter to do a compression test to get a better idea of the condition of the engine. I would like to get away with rod bearings and head gaskets. It is a TD block with old style head gaskets on it. There is not a rebuild tag on the engine so is it possible it is...

I bought Wreckerman893's M275 a few weeks back. Great guy to deal with he arranged the transportation to get the truck home for me and spent a few days getting me some paperwork for the title thanks again Richard. I hope to do bussisness with you again on a trailer if you still have it. I...

Here is a video of the rockers with it running. Starting at the front of the engine. I am starting to think like jeepsinker it has a piston issue. I took a 3 foot 1x3 piece of oak and pushed down on top of all rockers while it is running and the sound did not change. http://youtu.be/NJKMYMFm0Uk

The noise may not have anything to do with the oil pressure ,but there does seem to be a delay in the noise on a cold start.

Would it run or damage something running without a valve opening and closing? if not it would be worth a try.

I started it cold and it has a little blow by I could not see it if I put my hand over the end I can feel it. When it is warm/hot I can see the blow by. I don't know what is normal or excessive. I does not seem excessive to me ,but I have only been playing with big diesels for a few years...

I have listened to each injector they all have a different sound, but I could not relate it to the engine knock.I have also cracked the line at each injector while running and the noise never changed but the engine ran rough with each one I cracked loose. Now I hate to even mention this because...

I have held them also took a piece of wood and pushed down on the top of the rocker while running. There was no change in the noise. I agree that is what it sounds like and I a hope it is something that easy.

It sounds like it is comming from the back of the engine last three cylinders. The video sounds different than when you are standing by it. It does sound somewhat normal on the video. Here is another one from under the truck. Maybe I am being paranoid I just do not want to damage the engine...

I have what sounds like an upper engine noise, but I am not sure. It is a 1983 Air Force M35A2C That has not had the truck or engine rebuilt as far as I can tell. It shows 11500 miles and 375 hours I don't know if this is actual or not. To give you the history that I know I bought this truck...

Thanks Rustystud and Peashooter. This should have been a working unit and it is unlikely it would have been working if that spring was missing.So after work today I thought maybe it dropped out when I lifted the top plate off and sure enough the spring was on the floor.When I removed the top...

I am converting the brakes on my m35a2 to the a3 dual circuit brakes and when I pulled the master cylinder apart to clean and replace the orings I noticed one of the small springs under one of the two plungers was missing. I assume both should have a spring.Anyone know of a source to get the...

I pulled my 22' camper today with my M1008 and I was hoping it would pull it better than it did. My truck has 6" lift and 37" tires I know the tires hurt me some. Inside the campground there are some hills and 20 mph is all it could do on one of them. I have a turbo from a 6.5 that I will be...

Good looking truck. I sold one that was 4C2053 1954 and it was converted to a M35A2. The number was painted on the inside of the doors also on the identifaction tag. It was not near as nice as yours.

I spent the last two afrternoons pulling the IP and swapping the booster pump with one from the original IP and reinstalling it. I moved the guage to the bleeder port on the filter housing. I does not run any different and still has the same issue. Fuel psi at idle is 40 psi. Could this be a...

First off Sorry for confusion Rustystud and thanks for taking time to help me. Maybe I can explain this better. With the lift pump running and the engine off I have about 8 psi. With the engine running the needle on my gauge is jumping around it is hard to get an exact reading but I would say...

Last night I put a gauge in the line between the filter and HH. there is a tee with a plug in one end and I put it there. The gauge I used is not very high quality so it could be off a few psi but, 7 or 8 psi with the lift pump running With the engine running the needle is jumping around so...

I don't think it is a rod I does not sound like other rod knocks I have herd. It it is not as loud in person as it is on the video. I have the trans cover off and it louder in the truck than outside. You can see a little blow by coming from the road draft tube. I loosened the injector lines...

Well I replaced the lift pump today I was using a in line pump temporarily. I dont have any leaks on the fuel system. I am not sure how to tell if it is sucking air but, no leaks anywhere with the lift pump running and the engine off or running. When I crack the bleeder no sign of air in the...
