I had the power steering pump come loose from the bracket and make a horrible vibration and some noise. These engines shake and rattle so much that half the bolts are bound to come loose at some point. I also had a bolt come loose under the valve cover. It holds the piece the rockers rock on...

TaylorTradingCo: See PM.

A "love tap" might have done her some good....there are a bunch of horrible drivers out there, with attitudes none the less.

I have a couple things I would like someone to preview/inspect early next week at Wright-Patt. Please PM me if your available. Thanks! cleb

If your getting good fuel pressure from the in tank pump, filters are good, etc, I would try adjusting the fuel screw. My first M35A2 was a -1D, and runs great. It started at ~5 degrees with a intermittent in tank pump, and probably some waste motor oil in the tank/filters. It took about 3 10...

Mine made that noise as well, pretty sure its normal.

I had the same starting issue with my M1009....I put all new AC13G's (IIRC) in, and after a couple weeks ALL 8 were fried with swollen heads. I took all 8 injectors out, then unscrewed the glow plugs, and pulled them out as far as they would go. Next I took a pair of vice grips, and bent the...

On your transfer case, check where its leaking. Mine is coming out of the speedometer adapter, and I haven't seen/heard of a replacement seal, just buying a new speedo adapter. Check the vent on the tcase as well, could be building up pressure when hot, and forcing fluid out. Mine really flows...

I did some water ops, and am now in the process of replacing my original cracked zippered boots. My gear oil looked like egg nog. Those who have gone with the one piece boots, I assume they keep the water out better? Not that I plan on doing much more work in the river, but it would be nice not...

I plan on $800-$1000 to recover a truck (M35A2), and that's only a 140 mile recovery + a $100 ferry ride. Be prepared to spend $2-3k if things go bad and you need a tow. The next/second recovery was cheeper for me as I didn't use everything on the first truck. BE PREPARED. TAKE EVERYTHING. I've...

Thanks so much for the info. I'll have to figure out how to press them, and get back to you on how they work out. Did you use a deuce rear bearing/race to do it? How did you prevent the inner part that the nuts snug up against from being at an angle after being pressed? Seems like it would be...

gringeltaube: Would turning down the seal on a lathe work as well? Probably more work and would have to try a few times to get it right. Kind of interesting I installed a similar New Star seal on the other side and no issues with that one. So it goes...

Update #2. Took a little while because of school, but was finally able to wrench on her a bit more today. I pulled the seal off, and ran the nut right against the bearing, set it where it should be, added the locking ring and second nut. Went for a spin, and not nearly the heat as before! It...

Update: I pulled the axle and drove around without it. Still extremely hot on the outer axle. Melted the plastic bag that I had on to keep the water out and oil in. Mechanic here thinks its a bent spindle, going to check with a dial indicator later and see if its out of whack. I kinda doubt its...

Hot Hub Hello all, I got my M35A2 at Ft. Lewis about a year ago. One the way back the most rear hub on the drivers side ran hot. I got the truck home, and after a month or 2, it started leaking gear oil into the brakes, and pushed the grease out. I took both sides on that axle apart...

Hello all, On my way to school last August (360 mile trip) my in tank pump failed, and my speedo adapter on the transfer case started leaking gear oil everywhere. So, I am in need of a good working takeout pump, and a speedo adapter with seal, that doesn't leak. Adapter is for stock 9.00x20...

And in the 2nd vid when hes near the end of the swamp the thing is blowing 4 different colors of smoke, white, black, grey, blue or a mixture. Sick engine for sure... I'm pretty sure the pump is turned up a bit, I've never seen a deuce smoke that much!

Welcome to SS! Do lots of reading, and have lots of fluids, filters, tools, and other supplies when you do go pick her up (http://defcon-3.net/gallery/m35a2_2_recovery/IMG_0957 - My CV ready for a recovery). If your not feeling up to it yourself, see if another member who has done it before is...

When I got my first M35A2 I went the GL route. I had the help of a member here throughout the process. He looked over the truck I picked, and came with me the day we picked it up. He was also going to provide a tow if something went wrong. It was WELL worth the money and peace of mind. It still...

As mentioned in my previous post, if the fuel system is healthy, the truck will run without the ITP working. There is a lift pump on the IP (IIRC) that moves things along. In colder weather the fuel will be thicker, and this lift pump will have a harder time. You might have air in the system...
