Pictures will be posted tomorrow on this thread. Installed the Racor 445R Spin-on filter / water separator today. I wanted to replace the two rubber fuel lines (in & out). But the rubber line from the filter to the IP steel line (under the manifold) seems impossible to get too. I have a...

Does anyone know what the micron rating of the breadbox fuel filter? I am installing a Racor spin-on filter system and it comes in 30, 10 and 2 micron filter cartridges. I am leaning towards the 2 micron but is that overkill??? Thanks!

Well, I began to chip away and my to do list to make my new CUCV road worthy and I replaced the fuel filter yesterday. Today I was hoping remove the relay card, install a momentary switch along with new Wellman 070 glow plugs. Well I completed the first two tasks without a problem. I can now...

I am going to replace my glow plugs this weekend, at least one is shot. I also think the GP controller card is toast. When I turn on the ignition key I do not hear the relay "clicking on and off". So today, as a test, I found a toggle that I had and temporary wired it up to the relay and a...

Slowly but surely getting my new m1008 on the road. Thanks to searches and great posts, looks like I need to replace my vacuum hoses and also may need to make an adjustment due to a hard shifting problem. Does anyone have the sizes for the vacuum lines? A search and TM review did not yield...

My private party purchase of my first CUCV (M1008) arrived from Rhode Island this afternoon. It is an extremely straight, rust-free (2 minor rust issues), dent-free Air Force (???) truck which replaces my M35A2. The CUCV appears to have been maintained extremely well by it's first civy owner...

I have had very good success (so far) running a combination in of on-road diesel, filtered UMO and gas (87oct). I am even running it in the truck this winter, but have not driven it many miles. Only once did I have a problem starting him this NH winter. Has anyone had ill-effects from the...

All, This will be my first winter driving the multi-fuel and I have been using a 75/20/5 (filtered wmo/diesel/gas). Yesterday morning we hit a low of 23 degrees and when I went to the start the deuce, first time in about two weeks and it took several attempts. When it finally started, it ran...

Well the NH winter is settling in and I need to install some sort of heater in Brutus. I found a great deal on depot rebuilt 60k btu multi-fuel heater, but I can't find controls for it and I think it is over-kill. I was leaning towards a muti-fuel heater because I had one in my Unimog 421...

Fellow Steelers, Just got a pretty good deal ($79.00) on a 24v Stewart Warner Multi-Fuel vehicle heater, depot rebuilt in 2004. My thinking it came out of a 10ton or even a tank. It is a model Model 78385-10560 M241B1. I have a few questions... Does anyone have the TM number on this...

Did the frustrating search and could not find my answer, so I had to post the question..... I need three of the red (or any color) lens covers for the directional and high beam indicator bulbs on the gauge cluster. So them on Ebay for $20 bucks and chocked. Any other sources or options guys...

I have read that adding a couple to a few onces of acetone will take care of any carbon issues in diesel and also in gas engines. I have been trying it in my 90 VW Jetta diesel and have found it running much cleaner, but I am only using about 10% filtered WMO. Anyone else using Acetone for a...

All, My M715 is sold and I have moved up in military vehicle tonage. With the tremendous mechanical and fabrication expertise of member beaubeau, I am now the proud owner of a 1970 M35A2, Army Truck on Steroids, aka Brutus. Both beaubeau and myself will be heading up to the Weare Rally...

I am in the process of setting up my filtering system for my deuce, so I have been visiting local garages to obtain a good monthly supply of oils. It seems most auto garages dump everything into their waste oil drums, including the deal-breaker, anti-freeze. So I figured I would visit small...

Trying to get all my ducks in a row before I start my project so I am looking for some advice when I begin my project of shortening my new deuce. Should I do singles all around or keep the duals on the rear? Plus's / minus's, advantages / disadvantages? Thanks very much!

Folks, I will be taking delivery of my newly purchased 70 M35A2 next month and will begin the "shortening / modification" process. Has anyone given any thought to renaming the newly redesigned truck. Bobbed / Shorty / Bob'd just doesn't do it justice. I think there will be significant...

All, I have done several searches for anti-theft ideas for the M35 and found the battery cut-off switch seems to be the most popular. Along with the chain and an old fashion Krock Lock, do you folks have any ideas. I might have to store the truck off my property when I am not using it because...

Will be picking up my new deuce in the next couple of weeks and I am already planning for another New England Winter next year. It has a soft top and no heater. I just completed an exhaustive search and did not come up with much. I have also got a few good suggestions from the current...

Any owners of a bobbed 5 ton? Would like to know how the truck handles on and off road and maybe a comparison (if possible) to a bobbed deuce. Thanks!

I am finishing up my 5th military vehicle (M715) www.neatstuff2sell.com project and now want to move up to an M35 Shorty. Are there any how-to, step-by-step specs/instructions posted here or elsewhere? Living up here in NH, there is only one guy in CT. that does these mods, so I might just...
