Glad the poster has an idea what the problem is... and thanks others for reminding me to register on the member map. That is a great use of the google map APIs. Sadly I don't see any other M35s up here in the west hills, even though I see one on Germantown from time to time. Cheers! Jeff

Recovery Update! I made it down to Southern Oregon over the weekend and was successful in getting the truck running again! I started by doing the test procedure outlined by RL above. I started up the truck, allowed full pressure to build, and applied the brakes a couple of times. They...

Excellent.. I have a new style on the truck right now, and as I understand it there are not rebuild kits for the new ones. Either way I am going to get a new one to have with me, and if it is possible to rebuild the other one I will have a spare. I'll also take a new MC with me. That is an...

It is pretty easy for me to remove the remote reservoir, so I'll do that test before I take anything apart. The remote reservoir is vented, and as far as I can tell, the level has not changed (other then the bleed I did this AM for a test). That makes sense, and it sounds like I should...

I have not adjusted them, but I will as soon as I get it home. The question is, would an air pack problem cause both the rock hard pedal as well as the locked rear brakes? Jeff

I took my M35A2 on it's first longer distance trip, and have run into a snag. About 2 hours south of Portland, and fortunatly about 5 miles from my desination, I had a brake problem. I stopped at a Safeway, and after coming back out and firing up the truck, it would not move. The brake pedal was...

Memphis had them in stock. woo hoo!. Unfortunately the fill plug in the front diff is completely rounded off, and will not budge even with vise grips (on the edge of the plug). I spent about an hour trying it loose. My next idea is to weld a bolt to it. Anyone see a problem with that...

For anyone else interested, here are the parts I ended up using from Napa. (See attached image)

Thanks for the suggestion list. I have contacted a few rockwell axel shops, plus boyce, and I'll call Eastern Surplus as well. Clarks is on my list after that. I'll post back if I get a hit somewhere! Jeff

I have continued on m quest to find a replacement fill plug for the Rockwell differential. As you can see in the picture attached, there are two plugs on the Rockwell diff. The one I am looking for is #4 in this picture, part number 5365-00-732-6126. A bit of google search confirms this is...

Thanks! I may be able to reuse most of mine, but I want to have spares on hand in case I have a problem. Now if only I could locate a replacement differential fill plug! Jeff

Cool... Did you re use the stock 'nuts', or did you buy new ones? If you bought new ones, did they look like 'A' or 'B' in the attached pictures?

Bumping an old thread to ask a question. In this thread it is suggested that the coupler needed for the return fuel line (assuming you are using DOT Nylon Air line and the brass insert (that goes into the line so it doesn't get cut from the crimp) is: McMaster#: 50815K104. I attached a...

I did my first maintenance yesterday and went to replace all the diff fluid. Two of the diffs have very damaged fill plugs (rounded out square holes). The drain plugs on the diff are easy to find as they are 3/4 NPT, but the full plugs are not a tapered thread. It was suggested by you and...

Thanks. I did a bit of searching, and found a few other threads about the XMLs. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/59061-15-5-xl-vs-395-xml-vs-t831-vs-14-5-1100xls.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/39273-tire-pressure-395s.html In both...

Thanks Guys! I suppose it makes sense that it could move, but I was surprised by the amount. I had just parked after a sharp turn, which may be why I didn't notice it before. I am also curious what PSI most people run the Goodyear MVTs 395s at? Mine are at 50psi right now, and it...

I recently swapped the stock NDTs for a set of 395s on Super Singles. After the swap I noticed the the front axel set of the tandem set is shifted a bit to one side. It was not really noticeable with the NDTs, but is a bit more obvious with the Goodyears. I have attached three pictures...

I live right on the Washington Country/Yamhill County line, so I am pretty close to Newberg and Dundee. I'd like to get email addresses for people in the area to make coordination easier. If you are interested in an Oregon/Portland Area gettogether, drop me an PM and I'll trade email...

Excellent idea.. I'll take a look at my schedule and see if I can squeeze that in. It would be great to meet some other M35 owners, and see how people have modified theirs. Good question... Depending on the time, I could meet just about anywhere. There are also a few good state parks that...

I'm in Oregon as well, in Hillsboro on the west side. I was considering planning a small meet up somewhere in Portland as I would like to meet some other M35 owners. I purchased my M35 just a month ago. I just swapped out the 9x20s for some super single 395s, plus I got the spin on filters for...
