    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm looking for a hardtop for my M923 Cargo; Anybody know where I might find one?

    She won't start in the cold!

    Your Welcome, my Deuce hasn't had any more trouble since I replaced the batteries and changed the fuel filters. But when it's cold outside I do exactly as you just did and she'll fire right up much faster. Cheers, OneCool70Deuce:grd:

    I want a deuce

    I just didn't tell my gf about it until it was paid for and on it's way to Texas. She was kind of shocked and then after she saw the kind of attention it gets when we drive it in downtown Fort Worth at night; she figured out that it's way cool. I let her drive it once in the snow. That seemed...

    She won't start in the cold!

    You really have nothing better to do huh... I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WORDS AND ALWAYS HAVE. I don't take the responsibility for you stating to turn the idle speed up or down. That is what you stated and I refuse to acknowledge that I said something that came from you there...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Salude to Kyle... Civility can be had; just didn't like being given credit for words that I did not speak. I'm sure all of our trucks would benefit the overhaul of some very old and worn out parts, but unfortunately this is not my only project; so sometimes the most logical solution will...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Lead Design Engineer Drove the Deuce to work this morning...did the same procedure we have been discussing for the past day or so and it worked flawlessly again. :cookoo: Interesting you profess to have worked on everything...not surprised at all. I'll leave the rest of the answers to you...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Not even close... more pressure ='s more fuel ='s higher idle which would REQUIRE THE stop screw to be adjusted down. And no, I didn't say to adjust your idle speed screw to make it start easier. That came from your post and some reference to fiddling...remember?aua I simply said to pull...

    She won't start in the cold!

    You know what happens when you assume... You're assumption is wrong sir; not surprised you're telling to idle up my Deuce to make it start easier. The result of that would be a warm engine idling at a higher than specified rpms. Boy for someone trying to sound all textbook on this stuff; you...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Easier starting Deuce... 1. To help bleed off the possible hydraulic issue. It would allow some pressure release by having that lever pulled. 2. To allow the lift pump in the tank to more fully prime the system. 3. Because it works...

    She won't start in the cold!

    What works... "Your friend told you the essence of deuce starting religion, but either he didn't tell you the whole deal, or you forgot some of it." Well, lets just say that I don't feel the need to sit in my Deuce for the mentioned 5 minute cool down time, because I know better than to think...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Theory... A buddy of mine used to work on the M35A2's in Vietnam. He was a military mechanic and might a add a **** good one. Really knows his stuff about diesel engines. Anyway, I was driving my deuce about a month ago to NAPA and he was there. He started laughing first off and ask me what...

    She won't start in the cold!

    just my two cents... My Deuce has the same issues; I definately plan on checking out the manifold heater deal; HOWEVER, something I did yesterday to make my truck start almost as fast as my 1ton Ford Powerstroke, was... turn the main switch to the on position, hear tank pump running...

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    Roudy Texan I'm still going to drive mine whenever, however and hauling whatever in the Great State of Texas. Just think, some pencil $#@ ahole wrote those laws to keep us from creating more global warming? or was it to pay for their private jets to fly from DC to California every week...

    Snow in Texas and drove my M35A2 to work.

    Funny how everyone at work wants me to stop by their house to pick them up. Anybody know about any events in Texas? Rallys?

    My 1970 M35A2 is hard to start when it's cold...

    I believe so... Bought it from Andy at Army 6x6... It's in great shape and runs well once I've started it for the day, but that first time takes forever. Know anybody with the tarp and bow setup for sale?

    My 1970 M35A2 is hard to start when it's cold...

    Interesting stuff to check... I just replaced both batteries ($325)... Connections are perfect; engine spins over just fine. Smoke is white and blue; I've tried letting the intank pump prime for 15-20 seconds before, no difference... I'm going to try the fuel filters first and then go...

    My 1970 M35A2 is hard to start when it's cold...

    She runs and starts just fine when it's warmed up or even if it sits all day at work from 8am to 5pm. But then if I let it sit all night and try to start it in the morning again, she takes about 20-25 seconds to start hitting on all the cylinders, smokes out half the neighborhood and then...

    oil pressure gauge

    Man, I'm glad I read this post. My Deuce has the exact same issue and believe me tonight I plan on pulling the sender and taking look. thanks.

    My Deuce showed up yesterday...

    Do any of you know of an insurance company that will allow me to drive her more than 2500 miles a year, actually haul stuff and be covered? I'm a bit pissed right now b/c my insurance company can only find me these crappy $100 a year antique policies that basically state to only drive it in...
