    M35a2 block heater

    Sounds like one for Myth Busters... They can afford multiple trucks with multiple heaters. Who in Ky wants a coolant heater on their truck? Bring them by and I will buy and install them and when I am done testing you can have the truck back and the heater.:razz: I will keep my truck without a...

    M35a2 block heater

    TM If the heat will disperse through the water evenly you would not have a water pump on your truck to move the hotter water out of the block and to the radiator where the heat could be diffused.:wink: Another way to think about it is to feel the water pipe coming out of the water heater in...

    HELP!!! Advice needed with GL

    I don't know what to say about this situation, except welcome to the GL customer crowd... They have gotten us all at one time or another and if they haven't gotten one of us yet.... they will. You are getting off easy. I lost 4 K on a bid once. It was on a lot advertised and pictured as one...

    Looking for Alcohol Evaporator Kit for M35A2

    Should work. The bubbling from the air passing through the anti-freeze will vaporize some alcohol and take it to the compressor. I think it would be smart to turn your pop of valve down to about 80 lbs so that the compressor is drawing air constantly on cold days. That will keep a steady supply...

    Curt receiver hitch for the Deuce, 18,000lb/1,800lb

    Thanks for the update: I looked up that part number and that is the hitch for a 2010 gmc/chevy 3500. That is interesting because it means that GM has narrowed down their frame on that truck... in the past GMs had a 42" wide frame. If anybody is looking for a hitch and doesn't know what...

    necessary addition to any deuce!

    I drive a concrete mixer and dump truck in the summer as a side job. The company I drive for has 98 trucks all with backup cameras and most of them don't work. They quite fixing them within a few months of installing them because it was a full time job for one of their mechanics to keep up...

    necessary addition to any deuce!

    Keep us posted on how it holds up. My experience with backup cameras on big trucks is that they don't have much of a life span.

    Why a 10 K bid deposit?

    I have been of the belief that the 10 K bid deposit on some items is for items that they know will end over that amount and is an easy way to make sure the bidder has the money available. Lately; I have noticed more and more that they are placing a 10 K bid deposit on more and more items that...

    Looking for Alcohol Evaporator Kit for M35A2

    Actually you are not plucked.... your truck has hydraulic breaks even without air. If the air brakes freeze on an airbrake truck it causes the spring brakes to engage and the truck quickly comes to a stop and cannot be moved until the air system is thawed out... On a deuce you will have less...

    Interesting Biodiesel news report from NY

    That is Google Adware. It sends what are called spiders out onto web pages... they "read" the content of the page and place ads on it according to what it thinks people reading that page will be interested in.... It is how many websites make money.... I used it when I had my business and it is...

    So then the evaporator only works when the system is compressing air?

    M35a2 block heater

    My truck does not have a heater and it starts right up down as low as 9 deg. without any assistance. I think the success of these heaters is because people are putting them on trucks that don't need them. We have a member in upstate NY right now who tried one from West and it does not work...

    Looking for Alcohol Evaporator Kit for M35A2

    I understand the system just fine. Look at the picture of the intake system and look where it is connected on the intake. Then take a vacuum gauge and hook it up to that port and see what it does when the compressor is started. It will surge. It would be a great place to hook a milking machine...

    M35a2 block heater

    If you want a heater I think you are better off with the freeze plug type. The problem with putting it on the water pump is that heat rises. It will rise to the top of the pump and hit the closed thermostat and that is as far as it will travel... Essentially you are warming the waterpump only...

    Deuce coolant leak

    What ever the problem was it has stopped leaking....may have just been a shrunk gasket from sitting for so long before I got him. The hoses mentioned look great on this truck. Did not see any dates on them, but they have no dry rot or cracking.

    Adjusting air compressor

    I am trying to turn the air pressure up to 120 on my truck, but the compressor kicks out at 98 PSI. Is the compressor adjustable?
