    Inexpensive camper/utiliy box for m35a2

    I have been plugin away at the remodel. Installed a couple windows. finished gutting the inside. Put down some new floor and cut out part of the bed for holding tanks. A guy that works next door let me salvage what I wanted from a old motor home he has. I took the toilet/shower encloser, the...

    Code Enforcement Threat

    Yes he will likely not get any good sound advice. Yes there is no attorney to consult. But when you the one the city is gunning for it can be a great help just to vent and see that others care about your troubles.

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    That is why it makes no sense to me as why they go up. But My truck is driven six days a week on 100% used oil. When the EGTs start climbing I change the filters and they go back down. It has to be something to do with the injector pump or unbalanced cylinder output that runs them up. Maybe...

    Change my oil and this came out the drain plug.

    It was a spring from the Injector pump advance unit. There are three of them in there. Mine ran for a while with one missing. When the second one came out it destroyed the advance unit and punched a hole in the advance case. Thats how I found out what it was from. The drive gears on mine had...

    Deuce Fuel Mileage On Alternative Fuel

    I own a repair shop so I generate a steady stream from oil changes. It is getting harder to find free sources as the recycle company's are now paying to take your used oil. Some shops will sell it to you for around the same price they are paid. Last time I checked it was about .75 a gallon but...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    He is right. Oiled mine and had to rebuild it. Instead take the hose off the fast one and insert some kind of plastic Nipple into the hose and reattach it. It will restrict the air flow and slow it down. A small valve would also work and make the speed adjustable.

    Battery's not Staying charged

    Have you measured the charging voltage at the batteries? I had the same problem. My volt gauge is off. It reads about 4 volts higher than actual voltage. I adjusted the regulator measuring voltage at the batterys and have not had any more problems

    Change my oil and this came out the drain plug.

    Update As you know after pulling the sheet metal of the engine I found nothing damaged or missing. So i put it back together and it started right up and ran fine for about 15 minutes. Then I heard a sound that I would think a spring would make getting ground up and the truck died. I now have...

    4th Gear Grinds while downshifting

    When I first got my truck I had problems with grinding gears on down shifts. Also had problems shifting into seconded gear all the time. Drained out the GL5 and went to 40w motor oil and over a few weeks all these problems went away. I think the GL5 is just two slick for the synchros in some...

    NAPA replacement headlight? Or any other?

    You need to talk to Napa about your pricing. I remember that the napa one was expensive but it wasn't even close to $100.

    NAPA replacement headlight? Or any other?

    Napa can get 24 volt headlights. They won't have the pig tails on them, But you can cut the ones off the bad bulb ans solder them on the new one. Or buy a headlight plug and solder it to the pig tails and be plug and play from then on.

    Change my oil and this came out the drain plug.

    I was cleaning my shop today and came across my old hydraulic head. The spring on the piston looked familiar. I grabbed the most intact piece of chewed up spring and compared it. Same diameter and wire size! So a couple of questions. Is there enough fuel pressure in the injector pump circuit to...

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    Mine tend to go up. Never has made any sense to me. Also I start to get a misfire at idle.

    PNW-2013-Fifth Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy & Campout

    Misery love company. I don't feel so alone missing out this year now. I was really depressed because this year I was gonna' get that winch off your truck while you weren't looking. If I had made it, it would have been a wasted trip. Well with the exception of the food and friends and trucks and...
