Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Maybe I'll try a $10 can of seal fixer until I'm ready to replace the clutch.

Does this engine have some form of PCV to relieve blowby pressure? I haven't actually climbed up into the hood to look. I guess it doesn't really matter. The rear seal has to be replaced. Do you know if it is a two piece rear seal that I can replace by dropping the pan? Or is it a seal that...

Thanks.

Oh so it's like a pcv valve for the valve cover? Maybe that's why the rear seal started leaking on the way home. Now the entire bell housing (& maybe the clutch?) is covered in oil. I just lifted the hood with one hand, then snapped the pic with the other. So I didn't get a good look at the...

I finally opened up the hood today. Is the oily pipe sticking out of the bottom of the turbo supposed to be like that? It kind of looks like some kind of hose should connect to it & take something bad somewhere else. There seems to be an awful lot of room in that general area. Am I missing...

What the heck is a dog bone? Did you happen to snap a photo?

That actually looks nice. You certainly spent some time cleaning the frame & chassis first. The only thing I don't like is the bridge ID plate. Maybe a slightly different shade of black like a flat charcoal would make it stand out, but not too much. And I love the single, hanging wiper...

Any updates on this Allison swap? I'm quite curious to see if you got it to work with the stock engine.

I think switching the inner tubes without installing new tires is inadvisable. Why dismount & possibly ruin/weaken the decades-old tires just to put in an inner tube? The bead separation process might further weaken an already over-the-hill tire. The truck I just bought has some seriously old...

Yes, but I've seen many adds on Ebay and elsewhere where the owner advises to not sand or grind the paint. I was just curious if EVERY truck was the same or if some were painted with special paint while others had regular paint. When I search past posts I get 12 sides to every question. Yes...

I never thought I'd say this in my lifetime, but I actually like the Camo colors. It fits the truck. The solid painted trucks just don't look as good IMHO.

Can I ask a question for the experts? Is every M35 in existence covered in CARC paint? That's the cancer-causing stuff right? Can you tell by my avatar if my truck has cancer-paint?

ANY vehicle can be made extraordinarily safe or extraordinarily dangerous. It depends on the modification, the quality of the modification, and your budget. I agree this truck is a great platform to modify. That's why I decided to buy one. I was under the impression that the big Michelin...

That's funny. The same thing happened to me. I drove 600 miles back home with the truck. When I checked the tires a few days later I had ~20 psi in both fronts, ~25 psi in both sets of outer rears, & ~ 12-15 psi in both sets of inner rears, both sides. How I made it 600+ miles without a tire...

Here's the battery box straight out of the truck. The small end angles were grinded off & my own larger angle added, forming the box. I added a bottom to keep dust & twigs out. Plasticoat was sprayed liberally to avoid direct metal/battery case contact I used a small piece of angle...

Be careful with this idea. Batteries give off hydrogen & hydrogen sulfide gas when charging. Both are flammable and poisonous. If you do this make sure you seal it from the cab & provide adequate venting underneath with good airflow. Not to mention if, God forbid, you end up in some kind of...

That HydroMax Spicergear brake system sounds better every day. Time & money. Time & money. I still think a solenoid purge with a toggle switch would blow that water out after a few cycles. What do the big 18 wheelers with air brakes use? That seems the logical solution short of redesigning...

Sorry, we simultaneously posted. Ignore my request for a pic. When were you thinking of ordering?

Do the headlights have Hi/Lo & is there anywhere their illumination lumens can be found? Could you post a pic? I might be interested in your group buy.
