    Wreckers: Do people buy them for hobby or use?

    Wreckers are handier than a two-peckered billy goat. Need something lifted, fire up the 936. Mine has "Farm plates" on it. Logs, equipment, storage containers, you name it.

Check your inner fender access panel, I had one not not secured and in sounded like the engine was coming apart. Place your hand on the panel and quiet. Removed it, gave it a...

    Cab and Body Vibrations

    Yep, nature of the beast. Sound just like my truck. Once started, use the hand throttle to raise the rpm just a skosh. My settles out around 725-750 rpm. These trucks do not like to sit around idling. Start, warm up, and drive.

    Axle replacement boot M932a2 ?

    Go with the zipper equipped replacements, a lot less work/hassle. They still provide the same intended function.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Oh man, better pull the maintenance logs and see who worked on that wheel. Looks like your intake mushroom may have departed during the excitement.

    Ok, just came in from the yard; M809 hood length- 63.5". M35A2 - 50.0", M35A3-52.5". These measurements were taken from the back/side edge to the front edge where it meets the grill.

    How can I stop melting terminals?

    Something was loose. I've had that happen. The cable bolts need to be tight. They get over looked sometimes. Securing the batteries is a must, lots of bumps and vibration adds to the issue.

    Just joined the Deuce club!

    Yep, I love those Fire Dept paint jobs. I'd keep it as is. Heck, you have recoveries down now. Go find a green one, can't just have one truck.

    M35A2 military conversion to diesel only?

    Yep, I live by that adage. Do a little research on your vehicle. You may what to ensure the FDC is operational. My trucks are all stock and nothing is bypassed, turned up, or modified. Keep them stock, they'll last forever.
