    M35A2 Rear Spring Bearing Block Wear / Repair

    Normal, I think, kina hard to tell with the pics you took with a potato . That suspension moves around, it's ok .

    Clutch

    The truck doesn't know which style pressure plate you are using, as long as the dimensions are the same it'll work . However, in heavy truck and heavy applications a 3 finger is stronger and more longevitous IMO

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I do not, I tried to scratch the paint off a sticker on it, but all it said was "owning a modern dodge can be hazardous to your mental health" It is a Torklift model, and I can tell you it took a fair amount of work to make it fit, alot of cutting, welding, reconfiguring and I'm still putting...

    M35A2 brake upgrade using air brake chamber to push hydraulic master cylinder?

    It wouldn't have to push directly in a linear fashion, you can make a bellcrank and use anything that pushes or pulls . I've had a lot of different ideas for Deuce brakes bounce around inside my cranium over the years, some similar to this . But the first thing I would do is eliminate the weak...

    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    No kidding, have you thought about asking them if they'd consider adopting you, or just give you the farm outright so that you don't have to move them at all ??

    M923a2 ctis issue

    I cannot help you with this problem, I can however tell you that your future self will thank you when you have finally had enough of attempting to make an old wacky system work that had a multitude of issues from start, and you eliminate your CTIS . My analogy of troubleshooting a CTIS is like...

    Front end rebuild

    It shouldn't make any difference as long as the seal is still riding on the seal surface of the spindle, which I can pretty much guarantee you it is . Often times this can give the seal a new surface to ride on anyway instead of the same spot its been riding on for the last 40 years, so it's a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    M931A2 I insured it thru Hagerty yesterday for $298. Never used them before, phone call was uncomplicated and fairly quick, although I don't believe they're actually insuring the truck I think they're the middleman, just like when Progressive uses Artisans insurance . Matters none to me . Also...

    Front end rebuild

    Having done much axle work over the years I can tell you this: Moog and TRW are both chinee junk at this point unless you just happen upon some old stock . Spicer parts are what you want, they make "lifetime U-joints" that I recommend, and the original spicer parts in the red/white boxes are...

    Brake light and turn signal drivers side out only.

    Sounds like you have a short on that side, so it is a supply problem if you asked the bulb . Which is dimmer the front or the rear ? Whichever is dimmer your short is on that end . You can also feel for some heat in the wire, whichever one is warmer is going to be where your problem is, if...

    Tire tube change questions

    Dead deuce

    On second thought give that thing a tug or a bump, let It crack off, drive it around and allow the old Generator will do its job . Easy peasy

    Dead deuce

    Load test your batteries to make sure that they have amperage, and if they test good then use your multimeter to find out where the juice stops .
