Representative Roberts,
Sir I have two M35a2 army trucks I have for a hobby and personal use. I do not use these trucks for commercial ventures. I use them in parades, camping including transporting camping equipment and sometimes transporting other items. I put less than 3,000 miles on...
Jeepsinker, Thats what I did. My U-bolts were not long enough for 12 leaf springs. Took both 12 and 10 leaf springs apart. The top 2 leaves for my 10 leaf springs were broken, I replaced them with the top 2 leaves from 12 leaf springs. Used spring bolt from 12 leaf spring to reasemble 10 leaf...

Welcome to SS, The Lube Order will teach you a lot, Read over it and learn where all the points are. Check these points about once a year or after everytime your truck has been in heavy mud or water. You do this and you will get many years of good service from your truck.

I agree with everyone before me, the LO was written well before the new GO was put on market, the military changes as the market changes, when your engine was new it came with SAE 30 but was changed to 15W40 many years later, same goes with other fluids.
It's important that you have installed the support bracket from end of starter to engine block and tighten 2 mounting bolts evenly so you don't put starter head in a bind.
I have my valve out and apart now. This valve is much different than any other valve you have ever seen. The valve stem is very long and has two O rings. It is made of bronze and will bend very easy. When it bends it becomes harder to operate. When I took my valve apart it had a lot of corrosion...
