    Inside a 3 lever BO Switch...

    i would look at the contacts at the bulbs .It is 35yr old truck any corrosion or bad contacts will make it draw more amps. Leds will draw less than normal bulbs and should fix you up either way. so i would do more testing .I would pull all the bulbs and leave the switch unhooked then check for...

    How many miles is an M35A2 and A3 good for?

    this is getting interesting ?I somehow must be missing something .The engineers that made these engines tested and know the limits of the engine they set the governed rpm less than the limit of the engine.military trucks are rated way less than what they can do. they re rated at 100% duty cycle...

    Does anyone double-clutch?

    I put it in third if for any reason someone bumped the tcase lever it would just kill the engine .plus i leave the parking brake on even if it was in first it would kill the engine before moving the truck

    Does anyone double-clutch?

    i agree with deisel bob i always put my t case in neutral and trans in thrid while letting it warm up.There is no reason to double clutch a deuce it has a syncroed trans.Plus it has a ceramic clutch without a clutch brake doing so will cause the clutch to wear out prematurely.if you feel you...

    glow plugs on deuce?

    what makes a multi am multi has more to do with the hypercycle and the way the fuel enters the cyclinder than it does with the compression ratio.Most deisels mist fuel into the cyclinder while the multi it is sprayed right into the cup in the top of the piston . they probably need the high...

    Cylinder head port and polishing

    Porting increases air flow but also moves the power band up higher.But this doesnt help much on a multifuel as they cant take anymore rpm before the rods fail.Porting the intake will have little effect but porting the exhaust side can help lower egt .Lowering the egt can lower power output as...

    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    i agree the front shackles are more than strong enough to hold 3000lbs . i think the reason they rated them that low is for 2 reasons.first the front springs arent gonna handle much more than that.second the cable on the winch is rated at 10000lbs for winching but would have a much lower lift...
