I may have a challenge for the steel soldier gods. I have a M146 that I turned into a camper. After going on several trips to various campgrounds around my area I have seen something that I want to add to mine. A lot of campers have a wire running to the plug of their trailers to allow the...
I have M816 with the trusty 250 cummins. I have a few bad injector o-rings since I am getting fuel into the oil. I got the new o-rings but I need to know the torque specs for the injectors. I have the manuals on CD and all I can find is torque specs for the heads then the rocker arm "towers."...
As most of you know I have been working on a m146 turning it into a camper. It is finally done for the most part just some odds and ends here and there. Anyway. I finally used it last weekend but on the way to the campground the rear brakes "went out." Not matter what speed I was goin as...
As many of you have seen I have been working on redoing a M146. It is just about to the point of the window part of the rebuild. I want to know if you guys know were I can get some parts for this things. I need a few screen frames, 2 blackout shields, and a couple windows in general. They...
I recently got a M146 enclosed trailer to pull behind the M818. I am goin to turn it into a "camper". Nothing crazy just a bed, some heat and a/c a little carpet and sanding the floor to do stained hardwood. With the exception of the floor everything will be able to come out to return to...
I just about finished the Head gasket job on my '68 M35A2 and found that two of the orange rings at the tops of the injectors are bad. The ring between the injector and the head. They are puffing in and out with every compression stroke and I need to replace them too. Does anyone know where I...
My father and I recently got a 1971 M818 5ton tractor from Gov. Liq. For the most part the truck is great. But at around 45 or 50 the truck gets a horrible shake to it. the shake is side to side and doesn't transfer into the steering wheel. I checked some things and found that the passenger...
I am in the market for some new windshields. I was wondering what a blasted, and painted windshield frame for a deuce is worth. one with new glass, outer seal and all the arms and brackets. I know a new one without the lock or locking arms is around 160. is 180 too much to ask for one with...
I am in the market for a sand blaster but have no clue where to start. I know I would like a larger one and already have a large air compressor for it.( it runs jackhammers so i know it will work). I would like it to hold around 100 pounds or more of sand. But I am not too sure what I need in...
I was wondering if anyone knows the best place to get the gasket that goes between the glass and the frame. not the weatherstripping that seal the windshield frame to the large fold down windshield. I have found everything but the glass gasket. thanks for any and all info.
MODS........Not sure if this is the right location but it is about deuce parts. feel free to move it if need be.
I just ran into a little problem with an order I made over the weekend with OD Iron. I sent them an email explaining the problem and within 1 hour Mike called me and we worked it...
I have a flatbed trailer that I believe is a M390. does that make sense to anyone?? But it does have three crank down stabilizers with 10" or so round pads. two in the rear one in the front where the hitch meets the frame. It is about the size of a M105. It also has expanded metal for the...
I am in the process of repainting the deuce and have reached a roadblock sort of. I am having a hard time finding out what style the letter are for the U.S. ARMY and the hood number. I am pretty sure they are 3 inch. or might even be 4 I can't remember now. Please help me out I am running...
I am specing out gauges and think I will go ahead and get boost and pyro now and be done with it. Should I get a 0-35PSI of 0-60? I think 35 will be plenty but just want to make sure. Also I am looking for a half way looking military setup to mount them. You guys have any ideas besides...
I have heard that with a set of 5 ton LDS injectors in place of the 2.5 ton LDT injectors you can get a lot of extra horsepower without putting undo stress on all parts invovled. has anyone heard about this or is it a wifestail??
I am wondering how much trouble it is to bypass the FDC. Or whatever it is called. I know that you need to install a pyro and a boost gauge wouldn't be bad iddea either but what exactly needs to be done. is it pretty easy or a real PITA??? Thanks for any and all info.
Hi everyone. I am new here but looking for some help. I have a 68 m35a2 and i have had a leaking fluid on my front rear axle on the passenger side. I believe it is brake fluid since i have to top it off every 4 months or so. I am almost ready to tear into it but i want to make sure that i...
