I installed a brand new old stock airomatic kit on my duece and after sitting for a month it started to leak for the first twenty minutes or so out the lower hole on the air ram.It was like a valve wasn't sealing. A few times it would fight me to steer straight. Quite alarming and very...

I mistakenly overloaded my M105 trailer when I was cleaning out a post world war 2 junkyard that had a bunch of old cars filled with generator and starter cores. I made what seemed like a small pile of cores in the trailer and loaded the duece with #1 prepared steel. I noticed that the m105...

My two cents-The CUCV m1008 and M1009 are a good alternative to buying a computerized or over emission controlled vehicle. I have over 20k on my 86 m1008 and can't say it was trouble free with a blown engine once ,glowplug issues and such but these problems had causes and solutions and I feel I...

Crazywelder . Had to register commercial. I don't think the antique plate would fly with full load of steel, M105 trailer full of stuff and driving on weekdays.

I make regular scrap metal runs from MV island to brockton in my M35 and must say that the only place I ever get pulled over is in Bridgewater but they have never checked my fuel. Rotary right of 495 in Bridgewater is a good place to avoid if you have any issues . I figure the injector pump...

ftw I have been aquiring military equipment to insure that no matter what happens I have a better chance of being able to survive. Financially or otherwise. As far as regulation and laws, enforcement has always been the issue in my opinion.If you cut off someones hand when they are found guilty...

no one is exempt from the consequences.

good thread. Must say though most liberals aren't rich. People who spend money are only making someone else richer. A country that saves its money becomes stronger.If you don't spend money you usually can't be taxed on it. The EPA no longer mandates effective clean air legislation.It is an...

Bear in mind that the EPA requires better fuel mileage and emissions but has nothing to say about the pollution created by the manufacture of the components to bring newer vehicles into compliance and the manufacturing of vehicles to replace existing vehicles that with proper maintenance would...

Sounds like you have all ready performed your welding task without incident but one other precaution I have learned the hard way is to always disconnect the ECU connector if your vehicle has a computer when arc welding. I fried a computer on a late eighties chevy van once when doing some exhaust...

Patiently awaiting my centrifuge from Numeric controls I have aquired most of the components for my waste oil recycling system. One item of interest to this post might be the use of a small electric water heater for the purpose of heating and dehydrating waste motor oil. This is what I intend to...

How much was the fluid damper?

Replace key damper and seal.Just blew a perfectly good 6.2 three weeks ago.Two months ago I noticed excessive wobble at crank pulley.Mistakenly assumed pulley was bad. Had a bad feeling but motor had no unusual vibration that I could detect until one day alternator light came on followed by...

Three weeks ago started up my 1008 and headed to work .got to the bank and noticed a vibration in addition to strange noise. Got my banking done and headed out.I was in a little of a huryy so I was cruising pretty fast (55 mph) all of a sudden vibration increased then the alternator light went...

I have pulled many trees and have had lots of different results and experiences. A few things I have noticed are for one ,pitch pines and similar knotty pines do have a touch of unpredictability as previously noted and can break suddenly withy unpredictable and sometimes dangerous results. Mostg...

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me.Just a thought Pacman

I have skidded logs with my m35 with a pintle hitch I mounted on the front bumper on to a 12 ton trailer with the winch . Works great . My average scrap load has varied between 5000 lbs to 9500 lbs in the duece.My m35 also has a dump body and so far it has handled any load I have put on it...

reliable schmiable I am in the scrap metal business and am currently using my m35a2 for scrap processing and my m1008 is an excellent support vehicle. Easily towed by the m35 and very useful for jumpstarting and other maintainance related duties. The trucks are very compatible and reliable . I...
