Hey all, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about this but had several incidents on the other firetrucks and have been chasing my tail to fix them and keep them that way. The fuel issue has been fixed on the station's M35A2. What I found is that the FDC was only partially bypassed. The fuel...

Thanks for everyone's help. This truck will be sidelined and the parts will be on order tomorrow. How would you guys recommend routing the relief/ vent when I split them?

The only problem is that we do not have a spare air pack laying around and would not get one shipped on time for tomorrow. I was thinking of just capping the air to the air pack and just go manual brakes.

the line runs down to the frame rail and disappears in a mass of tubing and wires and hoses so I am not sure where it goes from there but the hydraulic side of the brakes still work. the problem started when it was taken for a test drive and we were on the side of the road in the rain trying to...

It sounds like there is confusion how the air is getting into the slobber tube, there is an air line that connects about 1/2 way down and that is where the air is getting into the tube. I have thought of capping off the air line for now but not sure if that will damage the system or not. is it...

All good things to check thank you. This truck had the engine replaced recently and the shop who did it isn't familiar with these trucks so bad piping or wrong connections are possible. What manual would have the air system diagram in it. I have downloaded all the ones under the M35 folder and...

We checked the lines and with the brakes applied there is no air leaking. when the brakes are released the air comes out of the crank case vent tube and this is what has me lost.

I need some quick help please. Our fire department has a 63 White M35A2 and the air system will not hold pressure unless you hold the breaks. If the breaks are released then air comes out of the crankcase tube. We need this truck up and running for the storm this weekend and this problem showed...

is that the upper plate or take the lower plate off? Pics should be there now

There is a stack on this truck but it is hard to see in this picture. I have added some engine pics to the folder. The fuel adjustment is suppose to be near the "fuel rail" under a plate that has 2 screws that are lock wired together but I cannot find this plate. The only plate that has 2 screws...

The engine data plate is un readable so I do not know what year the engine is but I am almost positive that it does not have a turbo. I will post some pictures on Tuesday when I am back up at the station. I have tried to post a picture on this email but it will not let me on the message so I...

gringeltaube, It does have some lugging when running slowly but when it is up to speed then it is hard to tell.

It smokes heavily under power but not at an idol.

thanks for the info Thank you for the info. I will start with those things and let you know what I find. The reason I added the power issue is because it has had the tank reduced to 600 gallons and even empty it cannot climb hills at all with out being in 2nd gear and it doesn't matter the size...

I am the maintenance person for a M35 that has been made into a brush truck for my local fire station and there are issues we are having troubles with. I just now downloaded the manuals for the M35 but was wondering if someone could possible give a few pointers. Right now it has a used multi...
