Looks like a nice truck Joe, sorry I can't help you out with your problem. By the way my M35A2 I bought from you was an excellent purchase. Even though I thought my wife was going to shoot me for awhile after I picked it up from you. She finally settled down and she likes the truck now.
After I installed my air-o-matic on my Duece, I noticed it acted like a giant steering stabilizer. It really smoothed out any unwanted steering wheel movement. It seems to work best when I'm in tight situations. For the price I paid for it I am very happy with the way it works. Almost...
On my new assembly from Saturn the T handle came off in my hand one of the first times that I used it. I also had to drill a hole and install a roll pin to keep it in place.
Mine was broken when I bought the truck, but it would shut down the engine. It just wouldn't return enough for me to start it again without reaching under the hood to push it back into position for starting. It kind of acted as a anti-theft device until I replaced the cable with a new one from...
With 11.00-20's on my truck and checking speed with my GPS I am traveling between 45-52 at about 2,200 RPM. I don't want to stress out my almost 40 year old truck too much.
Great idea with the wheel to lower the spare, I could see where it could break something important. I just lowered my tire today to check the cable, it was rusted bad and ready to break. I measured it and it's 72" long, so I bought a piece of .250" stainless cable and now no one should ever...
"I'm pretty sure it just lifts out of the base. The base will fit under the seat."
Exactly! I really don't want to be removing it too much, it is really awkwardly heavy.
Update
I went to harbor freight and bought a 1,000lb crank winch and welded that in place. I saw some small snatch blocks at Harbor Freight that I used the grooved pulleys from for the cable to go through the upper channel. It works great, I just have to put a cable retainer on the back...
I had trouble with the stock gauge, so I replaced it with a new 120psi sender and 120psi gauge and it worked well for over a year them it went haywire again. So I installed a manual pressure gauge, I have 55 or so psi at start and 50 when it is running down the highway.
I've had this lift intended for a pickup truck around for quite a few years. I finally got around to mounting it on my Duece. The base fits perfectly under the troop seat and also fits nicely out of the way under it. I needed to cut 5 inches out of the lift for it to fit under my cargo cover...
