    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    Good news. It's alive!!! https://youtube.com/shorts/otMfJGTqus4?feature=share First time we got the truck up to speed and let the clutch out it fired right up. Guess the shock and higher rpm did make a big difference. The truck has no brakes (fluid leak somewhere) and, of course, it busted...

    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    Wow, this has gotten way more guys interested in the results than I thought it would! Going to finally have some good and warm weather tomorrow to try to tow-start it. The only question is, the truck that I will be towing (and trying to start) is equipped with the air assist steering. Will...

    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    Already removed the air filter and tubing all of the way to the turbo. Had to remove it early on to replace the starter solenoid. I just have a helper use a board to simulate the air restriction of the filter.

    If cleaning the delivery valve yields nothing then I will pull the injectors back off and try that.

    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    I did not change out the fuel filters. I have a set of filters but I had them lined up for a different truck and figured I could do that after I get the truck running. Will a new set of fuel filters effect the situation? With as much fuel I have pumped through the IP whatever old fuel was in the...

    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    Hi, I have an M35a2 that has been sitting for about 12 or more years. Only previous history I have is that it was running when parked. Some other guys were supposedly able to jump it and get it to barely run on starting fluid about a year ago. I have read hours of threads and have tried all of...
