    Left front tire on M35A2 900x20s keeps going flat??

    See if any of your suppliers can get Kleber or Michelin natural rubber tubes in that size. They are thick and nice. Next look for severe service tubes from Firestone. They are thicker rubber too. These are all higher but last so much better!

    M37 ran fine for last years parades, this year, not so much

    Put Seafoam in your 100% gas and it will help clean the whole system up. Put it in every tank.

    1009 hood cable came loose or broke

    Try hitting the hood straight down on the front corner of the hood on each side of the center line with the side of your hand pretty hard. Then pull the cable again. This will usually allow it to pop open. If you have a soldier b pull on the cable release while they hit down on the hood at the...

    Aux tanks under 50 gallons

    90 gallon tank filled 80% full is close to 75 gallon usable. Never fill these tanks completely full and let sit for extended periods of time. Fuel has to have room to expand when it heats up.

    I agree. If you want water in fuel use 55 gallon drums!!

    41-9 stamped in ring gear means 41 teeth on ring gear and 9 teeth on pinion gear. 41 divided by 9 equals 4.56 ratio. 586 is probably May 1986.

    No Start No Fuel Troubleshooting

    Power Service diesel additive is endorsed by Cummins now and I have endorsed it longer than them. I use it in all my tractors and pickups in EVERY TANK. It is your injectors and pumps and tanks best friend. I also do not use bio diesel. It does not store well. Seafoam is also good at cleaning...

    CUCV Dually

    What he said too. This tire is also more available if you need one anywhere! I would always run the same size tires front and back on any 4 wheel drive! Simplifies your spare too.
