    Oil leaking at exhaust manifold?

    Replaced my busted block engine with a running engine from a parts truck. First I noticed a ticking sound and assume the rockers need adjusting. Puzzleing to me is oil ozing out around the #1 and #6 cylinder exhaust manifold. It's not the valve covers - they're dry. Bad valve guides? Injectors...

    Busted block

    Dodging snow and rain, I finally got my LDT torn down. I knew I had lost a cylinder liner and piston, a relatively easy fix, but was concerned when draining the oil when I got 4 gallons of antifreeze first out of the oil pan. I had checked the heads first with the blacklite and spray and found...

    m35 trailer hitch receiver

    A good while back I read of a receiver a member was building and selling. Before anyone asks, I did a fairly extensive search to no avail. It was a large steel plate that had 2 receiver slots and mounted to the rear crossmember. Actually mounted behind the bumperetts. Had a star shaped knockout...

    Have been searching with no luck for putting a turbo off a 5 ton on my LD M35A2.(Hope I didn't just overlook the thread) Has anyone done this? Will all the parts be available from the 5 ton?

    Too Much Smoke?

    I have an M35a2 with the LD-465-1C (nonturbo). The FDC is not bypassed. It does have a manifold heater. This truck smokes like a freight train. It has less power than my other deuce with an LDT-465-1D which does not smoke hardly at all. I've read the TM's and searched other threads. Would...

    Filter NEW motor oil ??

    I have received access to aproximately 500 gallons of new motor oil of different viscosities. 15wt to 50wt. No it's not hot. Oil became disposable due to a brand change in a large backup generator. Knowing the oil is not contaminated, would it be safe to pump straight into my deuce tank??

    Deuce Brake Parts Sales

    The weather is about to break so it's time to start wrenching on my M35. Do any members sell and ship brake shoes ? I will need at least 6 shoes and I would rather buy from a member than ERICK'S or CLARKS if the price is comparable.
