If part of the radiator is either blocked or full of crud then it could seriously mess up the cooling capacity of the engine. Early on in my learning mechanical things, I replaced the radiator in my '76 Monte Carlo. Good hoses, good water pump, new radiator, new thermostat. It would after long...

I looked at buying one of those when I was searching for my 5 Ton. I settled on the M809 series first and then the Mack's second because of the trickiness of working on Macks. Our Generator repairman here at CNN (he has a side job running his own fleet of trucks and repairing over the road rigs...

Is spooge around the head like that at the rear indicative of a bad head gasket or is there always a touch of leakage and slobber?

Odd, looking at that diagram I don't seem to have that part. Seems like I've got a different intake unless I was mistaking the horizontal tube above that filter in the diagram for the intake. Guess I'll have to take a close look at the truck tomorrow.

Hmm, that's easy enough. I don't have anything now and it seems like an airfilter would make sense. I'll see what I can find at Napa or one of the other parts stores.

Does the Air compressor on the M35A2's need to get it's air from the Air Filter housing? If so, what kind of hose is used for this? Just a piece of heater hose with 2 clamps? Presumably you run it up and around the back of the engine?

The filter on the M35A3 seems like it'd be easy to change and service.

And as far as topping them up, fill them to just below the filler side level hole thingy.

The reason I saw for a red led is that the led's light production is a function of the type of led material, not the plastic around the LED. What this means is that a white LED is wasting energy producing colors that will not be allowed past the filtering effect of the red lens. Thus a red LED...

Man Hotrod I had you figured for an old Pharte. You're a youngun like me!

I think the brightness depends on the cost and quality of the bulbs. I bought a set of bulbs that are pretty good, but they're not significantly brighter than the standard bulbs. My main aim was to find some lower wattage draw bulbs that were able to handle the 24 volt setup on my equipment trailer.

Ron, you don't want to come play with us as well? I figure the three of us could recover you if you get stuck. :)

You should move to the south man. We've had Rain one day, then 3-4 days of sun and 50s to 60s. I washed my '42 Dingo yesterday after doing some spot blasting. Rolled it back in before the rain hit and was good. It was warm enough for jeans sneakers and a long-sleeve mock-T, and I'm in Georgia...

Duct-tape is not the preferred method of assembly!

I wonder, could you attack the a-frame support to via two cables to the corners of the bed and make it all clear the cab? Doh! Getting in and out of the cab might be tricky depending on the angles.

Roco makes Deuces and 5 tons in HO scale. Nice details too.

We need to make an expedition to get out and play with our Deuces and other MVs on some trails. basically show up with the heavy iron where the Jeep folks usually play. Any thoughts of when and where?

Where were you guys playing? I'm in Decatur, I'd love to come the next time you do.

Add a flow through muffler. It has no restriction, but a baffling area like a gun suppressor, works pretty well as it still slows down the sound waves coming down the pipe.

Sand blast or sand it by hand, prime and paint and then mount it up. The hole spacing was tricky, it took a bit of fiddly fitting, but I got it all together. I need to touch up the paint as the screw heads marred the paint/primer trying to fit the screws. Insert them into their holes, then...
