Last week I posted a thread about my M35A2 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?188613-1967-Kaiser-M35A2-oil-pressure-problem&highlight=. I just barely made it home that night with failing oil pressure. The next day I checked the oil and according to the dipstick I found it to be about 6...

I've had this truck for two years now. I use it very infrequently. I've done some work on it but nothing major. It has always run just fine. The other day I took a 15 mile round trip and on the way back I began to notice that at traffic lights while idling my oil pressure gauge had dropped to...

Could someone please tell me what the correct lamp numbers are for this truck. The marker lights and BO lights are different numbers. Is this correct or should they be the same. I know that the turn signal lamp is a larger bulb. Thanks, Lenny

I haven't run my truck all winter. I would hate to subject it to all the salt they use on the roads here in New Hampshire. However it started right up the other day and it runs fine, however I found that in both front light units (that hold turn signal, black out, and marker lamps) the marker...

On my M35A2 there is a valve on the front panel that controls air to the wiper motors. The people I bought this truck from have this valve so tight that it will not move I will need to put pliers on it to get it started, however before I do this, to open this valve from a closed position do I...

We want to replace a defective Sprague transfer in my truck with an air shift. Does anyone know of a reasonable source for an air shift unit and of course we'll also need a parts kit as well. We were just quoted a price from Eastern for a rebuilt unit well over 2000.00 Thanks, Lenny

I have a 1953 M37; I recently had to remove the throttle cable from the dashboard and after repairs were completed re install it. It was very tight working and after cramming it all back together I took a test drive. About 2 miles up the road I noticed that the temperature gage was reading...

I would like to build just the harness that connects the different circuits to the lighting control switch. I have a source for the multi conductor switch connector as well as the individual connectors. This is going into a plain vanilla M37 with no turn signals. The schematic is easy enough to...

My truck has been sitting for awhile outside. I just replaced the fuel pump and got it going but I have no lights on anything. In looking at the schematic of the truck it seems like 24 volts is fed into the light switch from somewhere, (I can't tell where) but it appears to go in on terminal...

There is a fuel shut off valve on the line that comes from the tank. This valve is located just to the right and just below the fuel pump. It is an inline valve with a handle, not unlike a sort of "ball" valve. The truck ha been sitting for almost a year now and I would like to try to start...

I retrofitted the air tanks on my truck last year with the military kit that comes with two brass cable operated air valves and two cables. Through last Summer and Fall they worked flawlessly, eliminating my having to crawl under the truck to do this. This past winter however I took the truck...

I thought that the wipers worked off intake manifold vacuum. Now I'm learning that the "vacuum"section of the fuel pump has something to do with this too. I have also heard that some people have gone to civilian fuel pumps without losing much in the wiper function. Can someone please explain to...

Last Fall I took the truck out for an 8 mile ride. It was point A to point B with no stops. The engine seemed to be running OK at driving speed. I got to my destination and as I was pulling into the parking lot naturally I slowed up and I became aware that the engine was running poorly. I...

My front seats are both worn. I would like to replace them both if costs permit. The passenger seat is just saggy and I can live with that but the drivers seat needs reupholstering. Also the plywood base underneath the drivers seat is partially rotted and needs to be replaced. If I absolutely...

Hi Guys I tried to drop the oil this morning just like I've been doing for the past 33 years. However this time I put the 1/2 inch drive into the drain plug and stripped it out. We tried using a cold chisel and a good sharp pair of vise grips on it. The cold chisel just sliced metal off the rim...

Hello to the group This past Spring I removed the thermostat and used an acid based flush to clean out all the nasty stuff from my cooling system. The water was pretty rusty and dirty and it took awhile before it ran clear. I ran the truck a few days like this, flushed it again with water...

I got this truck a few months ago and I have never had any problems with the flashers until the other day. I don't know if it is related, but I'm constantly forgetting that theses flashers don't automatically cancel like my civilian vehicles do. So consequently I'll almost constantly forget...

We got this truck last Winter and have been working on it the last few months. So it hadn't really been driven much. This Spring we got it out on the toad and noticed that it was running up around 220 after going up and down some hills for a few miles. I drained the old antifreeze, which...

Hi guys, The last guy who replaced the tachometer cable on this truck apparently didn't feel like dealing with the lower L bracket and so in order to keep it away from the fan belt he eliminated that bracket and routed the cable behind the pipe that feeds the oil cooler. Over time this...

I recently picked up this 71 Kaiser, and it has the type of transfer case that I'm told is supposed to engage the front axle automatically when slippage is detected. I'm told that these were apparently very troublesome, the adjustment procedure is a nightmare, and most never worked well...
