    Fuel Line leak

    What is the FDC? And what would be the reason for bypassing it?

    Fuel Line leak

    Thanks guys. Just wanted to know the correct terminology, tubing used, and where to get the parts. I searched on here for a while to try and not sound like such a Nubie, but couldnt find what I needed. I will stop at Napa tomorrow after work with old line in hand and get it done for the weekend...

    Fuel Line leak

    I have a small "pin hole" in my fuel line. It is not gushing out, but more like a fine mist. The fuel line looks to be like hard plastic tube, but I haven't looked too hard at it since it has 15 coats to paint on it. Is it possible to seal the hole with a plastic weld or some other epoxy until I...

    M35A2 Insurance.. Got it!

    Insured my 1980 M35A2C through Nationwide. No limitations or restrictions at all. 50/100 full coverage crash, theft, etc. $548 per year. And I am 26 and have had a few points on my record. When I talked to my broker, I was told that Auto Ins. differs from state to state, and that is why we...

    Not starting

    Where is your "clicking" coming from? I'm having the same problem as you. My clicking is coming from the Starter Relay. I'm getting the starter tested this weekend as well as the batteries load tested. My truck pulls off just fine, and alt is showing to be chargeing too. I'll let you know what...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    Thanks 4X4, I will do that when it comes time to renew in Nov. That way I can put the tag I am transferring to it now back on my hunt truck. I plan on bobbing it in the future. I have been going through the "different answer every time" now. But all is good now that you recommend FFT. They are...

    You may not have been able to because the truck is over 5000 lbs. I was told by my Tag office here that a vehicle over 5000 lbs cannot be tagged as an Antique. When you Bob it I wonder if it will be under 5000? How much did it cost you to register for a year? $153.65?

    Called KC @ Florida Fast Title and got the process started. It was just a $5 vin search fee and will be a $115 filing fee plus my Tag transfer and Reg and Title fee. They do all the leg work. You don't even have to go to the Tag Office at all. They mail you docs to sign and you are good to go...

    No didn't try bypassing it. I didn't know you could. What is the purpose of the relay if it can be bypassed? I didn't want to mess with anything electronical and fry Tue wiring harness. I took some more pics today when I got home from work of the motor and I will try and post them shortly.

    Where did you find a Relay that wasnt over $100+ bucks? I found a used one but it was still $60.

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    Called my local battery supplier (Battery USA) and the 6TL is $211.95 each. Said he can do a Group 27 (just a little smaller than 6TL) for $70.95 or a Group 31 (Same as 6TL, just Rectangle and not Square like 6TL) for $86.95. Steve6x6x6 is running 2 27's and and said they are doing great. I...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    What Battrties should I be running? No one at any of my local battery suppliers can tell me what I need. Group 27 or Group 31 maybe? How many CCA per batt? Can having the wrong batteries be causing my problem?

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    Thanks guys. I will try that next. I think I can shut it off at the pump by just reconnecting the cable but will have the "block off" method ready just in case. To turn it by hand, I just need a pry-bar and socket in the camshaft pully correct?

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    Thanks Recovry4X4, I was thinking it was the starter. I just found out the guy that had it before me sunk it motor deep at our local mud hole. I was hopeing it was just gummed up from that and just needed a good cleaning or rebuild. Would it hurt to try and pull the truck off to start it? I...

    I was talking to a Diesel mach yesterday, and he stated that since I had to shut it down the way I did "fuel shut-off cable broke, and had to dump clutch to kill motor" that my starter could still be engauged and that is what is causing the starter relay to just "click" and not turn the motor...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    From the manuals I have looked at the solinoid is directly on the starter and the starter relay is closer to the block towards the top of the motor. If that is all correct, it is the relay that is making the click, not the solenoid. Sorry for the confusion in the previous post calling the relay...
