    Led tail light problem

    If the blackouts don't work and they are led's then my guess is they are toast. Ask me how I know. Seriously, these things are so poorly designed I won't waste my money on them. The only other reason they won't work is if your not getting power or bad ground. Run a temporary ground from the...

    Same mods?

    Anything or almost anything you can think of has been done to former m.v's. Cruise ebay and you can find some real gems. For the most part people don't change a deuce into something else other than bobbing. Even then its still obviously a deuce. You don't see many people trying to create a...

    metal in oil pan

    After studying the IP t.m. I don't believe it is the governor springs. They appear to be too large. However, the timing device is in the front of the pump. The springs are much smaller and I can easily see how they could come out and get chewed up by the pump drive gear and end up in the oil...

    metal in oil pan

    Hmm thats a very good question. I honestly don't know what the rings on a multifuel piston look like. What has me intrigued is in the top right of his photo I can't tell if thats more springs or twisted safety wire. There also appears to be a chunk of something that isn't spring or safety wire.

    metal in oil pan

    I spy springs and safety wire. I'd guess its from the injector pump. Probably the governor assembly. The governor does way more than limit the max rpm of the engine.

    M35A2 Front axle and brake service.

    Hmm interesting. Every truck I have serviced has had both inner and outer seals in the steer axle. I can see how the outer seal isn't nessissary since gear oil isn't supposed to be present in the steering knuckle.

    M35A2 Front axle and brake service.

    All 6 hubs have an inner and outer seal. The steer axle has 2 additional seals in the axle tube behind the steering knuckles. These keep gear oil inside the axle tube.

    Some thoughts on your bearings when hub flipping.

    Truthfully if your careful the proper tools would be anything softer than a hardened bearing race. These things aren't fragile. I use a long hardened chisel to beat them out and the race must be even harder. It doesn't leave a single mark on the backside of the race. I use a brass punch to...

    Deuce brake parts

    I was hoping to cross reference other brake parts based on what trucks the napa wheel cylinders fit. Turns out the other trucks listed are more rare and obscure than the deuce is. Even if I did find interchangeable parts they are more expensive than buying parts from the surplus dealers. O...

    Deuce brake parts

    I'm curious as to what civilian truck these cross reference to.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    About to install air o matic on my truck. Good write up m16y. As for the torque valve, they can be had brand new from maradyne. They are still making the air o matic for the m35. They aren't cheap though. I would attempt a rebuild even if I failed before I bought a new one. My kit is...

    Some thoughts on your bearings when hub flipping.

    I have flipped the races on many deuce hubs. Beat them out from the back. There are cut outs in the hub just for this purpose. Clean them up and freeze them. Then drift them back in with a brass punch. Easy as can be.

    Some thoughts on your bearings when hub flipping.

    Just flip the races. Keep the same race with the same bearing. New bearing = new race. They wear together. Don't mix and match new and old.

    Where to find differential lockers?

    Well I'll still be the guy who disagrees. I'm not talking about wide sweeping turns. Now this is just me and my personal needs for my truck, but I do a lot of tight maneuvers both on dirt and concrete/asphault. I have plenty of infuriating experiences with rear lockers pushing the front...

    Split brake system

    Hydroboost has been done. It works very well. However, it requires a power steering pump to be installed. To use 2 air packs is very simple. Add your new dual chamber MC and then mount a second air pack to the oppisite frame rail. Then plumb one brake line from the MC to one air pack and...
