Hey Bjorn, thanks for the info. I checked with my local Interstate dealer, he claims he can order a brand new 6TL for "around" $100, which is a lot better than I've seen in other posts. I'll try that route as soon as I can come up with a little extra pocket change and put the other battery back...

The "Multifuel Filter and Gasket Interchange" posting in the Technical Articles Forum lists the Donaldson P11-7551 Air Filter as the only commercial air filter which meets the 410 CFM requirement for the LD465 multifuel engine. Unfortunately, I cannot find a source for this filter. I even...

Hmm - no water drain on the air filter canister. How about (in addition to the vertical inlet) attaching one of those soft rubber one-way drains commonly found on the bottom of an automobile A/C evaporator to the bottom of the canister (on the "dirty air" side, it is lower than the "clean air"...

My new Deuce came with two near new 6TL batteries. I tested them with a battery hydrometer, one was great, all cells 1.275 - 1.300 S.G. (it just doesn't get much better than that). Unfortunately, the second one had one bad cell, > 1.100 S.G., while the remaining 5 cells were all 1.275 - 1.300...

My Deuce was rebuilt at Tooele in 1989. I'd expect that the fuel tank was cleaned during the rebuild, and I'd be very surprised if it has been cleaned since. Do you think I should clean it, and if so, what is a good DIY to do it.? I realize I could pull the tank off and have it steam cleaned...

How much diesel should be left if your fuel tank when you run out of fuel? When I picked up my Duece from Selfridge ANG Base last week, the fuel guage was not working. I had the foresight to bring a long, thin stick of wood with me just in case I needed to check the fuel level in the tank. Much...

0539 is the prefix for a M35A2 w/w. 11278 is the serial number for the manufacturer for the particular year your truck was made. I have the same problem, my data plate has the prefix and serial number but no model year. Try the main office of your state's DMV/DOT/SOS or whatever agency that...

Dave or Armada - Tell me about Clare, I'm only about an hour away. Will it be at General Jim's?

0539, Kaiser M35A2 wo/w, year unknown but probably 67-70, correct NSN for a M35A2 wo/w. Rebuilt at Tooele in '89, possibly winch was removed then. Any clues to look for to see it it was originally equipped with a winch?

Scrambler - I think you misunderstood what I was saying. My suggestion was to put a fuel shut off valve in the fuel line between the fuel pump and injection pump. A ball valve works best as you only have to move the handle 90 degrees from full on to full off. It doesn't make any difference if...

Just a suggestion - I used to have a '78 full size Chevy Blazer with the 6.2L diesel. After a few years, it developed a vacuum leak in the fuel system someplace - no visible leaks under pressure, but after sitting a while air would get into the system and let fuel drain back into the tank. In...

The question of whether you need a scrap dealer's license will vary from state to state. I was wondering the same thing, so I went to the Michigan Secretary Of State website (they handle vehicle dealers/titling/registration here), perused their listing of on line information, and found a...

I need some help figuring out why the driver's side outside door handle on my Deuce won't work. The door handle turns but will not unlatch the door. The inside door handle works fine, opens the door and locks the door w/o a problem. I pulled off the outside door handle, it appears fine and...

Hey guys (and gals) - If you're looking for a new truck, keep a watch on the autions at Selfridge ANG in Michigan! When I picked up my Deuce there Tuesday, they had a WHOLE bunch of trucks in the DRMO. Mine was parked next to what appeared to be a M818 wrecker, a saw a couple of dump trucks...

My new Deuce came with two fairly fresh 6TLMF (maintenance free?) batteries (green case). One is good, one has a bad cell. I checked both with my battery hydrometer, on the good one all the cells were 1.275-1.300 S.G. The bad one had one cell at >1.100 S.G., the rest of the cells were all...

Don't know if this will help or not, but back in the days whent I earned money by twisting wrenches, the old Chevy V-8 motors had a cannister style filter similar to that on the Deuce, except it hung down below the engine (not as much mess when changing the cartridge). A few years later Chevy...

Bjorn - Where did you get the circuit breaker & relay? Any part numbers for either? What is the purpose of the override switch - is it there just in case the relay fails?

Here is my new Deuce which I picked up yesterday (3/21/06) from Selfridge ANG Base in Michigan. After the usual fluid checks and airing up the tires (they had between 15 and 40 pounds of air per tire, must have still had the winter air in them!), I added a quart of Marvel Mystery oil to the...

I need a camo cargo cover for my M35A2, prefer a vinyl one piece cover. Also need the end curtains if it is not the one piece cover. Anyone have one they want to sell? I'm not real excited about spending $800 for a new GMA cover right now! I've tried Ebay and got outbid. I'll keep looking there...
