Moving trucks around today presented a great photo opportunity....

I had four dead Hawkers on my M936 and swapped in two Auto Craft Gold batteries (Part # 34FT-2). They are a good fit with plenty of clearance. The wiring is still a bit sloppy and I need to add some wood blocks to secure the smaller batteries. But the good news is that it worked and the truck...

Wow, thanks for the post! That’s not the first place I’d check for an air leak. Now I’ll have to look at my M936.

I think you need to drive it to the rally in March 2021!!! rofl

Tiny, you have my best wishes for a full recovery. I hope you are feeling good and back to working on MV’s in no time!

I’ll echo M35fan’s comments. I’m sorry for your family’s loss. Also, you shouldn’t have to stand on the breaks. The last time I had to “stand on it” in my truck, it turned out that I had a leaking wheel cylinder. Keep us posted on your progress with the truck!

Things rarely go as planned. I backed the Deuce into the shop early last March and tore the center axel down to replace a leaking wheel cylinder. I had the drums turned and got new cylinders and pads. My intent was to have it put back together by mid-March in time for the annual Texas rally...

Sir, I saw your post this morning. Then I fainted. I’m just now coming to.... Wholly cow! Your collection is amazing!

Yesterday I bought a M936A2 and a M810 and it turned into a day I'll remember for a long time to come. Also, I have a feeling that Wes Simpson won't forget it any time soon either. A friend of mine is selling his MV collection. When I expressed interest in his wrecker last July, he made me an...

That is a great looking truck! Congratulations! If you decide that you really need a truck with a turbo, feel free to drop that one in my driveway anytime!

How does freezing the gasket help to install them?

Wow! Those pictures and the video are amazing! Thanks for posting them. Sir, if you want a 2.5 ton cargo truck, why don’t you make an offer on one of his other trucks? Why are you negotiating for the M45?

That’s a beautiful truck! Does it run?

There is a number stamped on the frame of my M35A2. It is located on the front passenger side frame rail above the front spring hanger, and it appears to be an upside-down "2061." What is it? There are no visible numbers on the driver's side under the left front fender. If there are numbers...

Howdy from just north of Houston, Texas. Welcome to the site. If you get the opportunity, post some pictures of your old iron!

Just curious, why did you drain and refill the oil before swapping oil filters?

How did the rear 1101 connect to your gooseneck trailer? Did you get a picture of it?

I’m curious (and this may be a dumb question), but what are the symptoms (what is the truck doing / not doing) that leads your friend to conclude that there is no air assist?
