Hello SS I've decided the time has come to fix an oil leak on the front of our M813, I'm tired of oil coating the inside of the engine area. I have assumed it was the front crank seal behind the harmonic balancer. Pulled the grill, radiator and harmonic balancer to get to the seal. Looking at...

Road speed Hey Tim, My old GMC likes to run around 45mph, I can push it to 50 but it sure sounds wound up. Average MPG is 5-6 Karl

Topless Picture of my first deuce in a parade, always liked running without the top. Every truck I have purchased with a hard top has had the hard top traded for a soft top. Karl

Amber lights Welcome fellow M-series GMC owner, Here is a pic of my front marker lights converted to full amber lens. These were made by milling out the front light cover and siliconing in a full lens, easy to switch back to original style covers for shows. I also have adapted the black out...

M211 Hello Tim, Try Alfa Haven who is an advertiser here or Memphis Equipment. Before I was able to purchase an original air horn to cleaner hose I used 3"(?) flex duct used for truck heater ducting. Good luck, Karl

VA Rally Hey Mike, Are your plans to return to the same camping area Friday and Saturday nights? I had planned on rigging one of my M105 + shelter as a camper, did not want to tow it during the trail rides and was hoping I could leave it in one location. I could be available in March to help...

Replacement seat cushions I have replaced the original horse hair stuffing in our vehicles seats with sleeping mat. The military sleeping mat material is closed foam and will not adsorb water. We use the old cushions as patterns, since the sleeping mat material is only 1/2" thick we glue 3-4...

VA Rally Hey Mike, What are your thoughts on trail clearances, will a 5 ton with rear cargo cover installed be OK or too tall? I'm debating whether to pull the M105 with the S250 shelter as a camper or just use the back of the 5 ton w / cover. I don't want to damage my new rear cover for the...

Hydramatic JasonS, One of my parts tranny came out of an old Cadillac (40s vintage?) and I have used some parts for my GMC. The Caddy tranny does not have the two speed reduction unit of couse. I don't know how much of the interal parts are interchangeable. Karl

Hydramatic questions Majortom, great information on these trucks, Maybe you can help with a problem that I have been trying to work out on my GMC. My tranny is set up with a REB shifter, when cold the tranny will slip in 1st and 2nd in high range, does not slip in low range. Once the tranny is...

Hydramatic As a follow up to this original post, the referb tranny supplied by Memphis was bad, ended loosing reverse completely. After a little effort on my part Memphis did supply a replacement tranny even though it was out of their 90 day warranty. Karl

Chambersburg I have always had an easy go with the guys at Chambersburg. While waiting for the EUCs to clear use the time to prep the vehicles for the trip home. Just call them and make sure it is Ok in advance. On past sells I have been able to drive my civiy truck in through the gate and work...

Multi-fuel heads I have had the pleasure of doing this job twice on two M35s I have owned. Easy to do, just read and follow the TMs. Most have had bad luck with the surplus head bolt wrenchs, I made up my own by welding a 1/2" drive socket to the end of a shortened box wrench. No need to remove...
