    Power bleeding a Dual circuit truck

    Haven't gotten to this point on my dual circuit adventures yet but figured I'd ask while it was on my mind, since I just found a dual circuit master cylinder new on the cheaps. Can the deuce dual circuit master cylinder be power bled like the standard master can? (essentially tap a hole in the...

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    Awesome! thank you guys so much for all your hard work! And this is super timely, since I just got my 1100 xzl's so it's time to dig into the axles/brakes/everything else

    M35 fuel filter issues

    I'm not sure why I've never thought to put a gauge on the tank, I have seen that port there multiple times and just thought "man that's an awful wired spot to put a set-screw" didn't even cross my mind to put a gauge on it... jeepers the things you learn after one random day of looking at threads.

    Mechanical Brake Light Switch

    I thought about Doing just that with a mechanical NC limit switch and bracket, so that it would engage right on the shaft of the master cylinder, (or rather disengage as soon as you moved the pedal approximately 1/8") but with a new air switch being $20 and considering that these switches are...

    Swapping out bed for FMTV bed

    Thanks for the info, I have a pretty good visualization in my head of what you are talking about (I think) makes sense, either way I'm not chomping at the bit to do this as i just moved and currently have a severe lack of space until i get the garage setup/ power ran, just figured I'd make an...

    Swapping out bed for FMTV bed

    So there are currently a couple FMTV beds in good shape soon to be up for sale. Space is currently limited in the garage/driveway, but that begs the question If one had a fairly rusty deuce bed in need of replacing/repair, would it be worth it to attempt to adapt one of these suckers onto the...

    M35A3 Food Truck Finally Operational not complete

    kinda toward the middle you can see they actually added a drop down, If they don't outright serve from there then they prolly also have a tent or something to setup just outside the truck for all the Point-of-sale stuff. either way that center bit looks low enough to serve from

    Starter not turning over on M35A2

    Occasionally starter solenoid will wear down a bad spot and or get some crud into the contact, just mash the start button a few times in rapid succession. it'll usually work :whistle: Edit: few is relative, normally first push works every time, but after i got the truck in the fall there was...

    M35 Front Bumper Extensions

    well considering the deuce was essentially made with the cheapest steel possible... Nah all the torque strength comes from the shape/thickness, just get some a36 or equivalent mild steel and call it a day

    I remember seeing some mention of this awhile back, ̶W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶o̶w̶e̶r̶p̶l̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶o̶d̶?̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶e̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶g̶u̶e̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶d̶i̶t̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ ̶L̶D̶T̶?̶ ̶g̶o̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶L̶D̶S̶,̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶e̶l̶s̶e̶...

    M35a2 oils

    That shell spirax 50w, do you mean Spirax s6 gME 50? I can't seem to find another with 50w, and if so who do you get it through, local vendor or elsewhere?

    Fording Project

    But that sounds like effort, I mean, what, a soapbox is like a foot and a half tall? That's far too much vertical movement, horizontal is much easier... Though I suppose the Side step for the deuce us about the same height so methinks I'll just go drive around for a bit and get back to you...

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    Agreed, there is enough places to tuck stuff away on the frame you could prolly stash an entire extra deuce under there.

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    I'd definitely be interested in something like this, Recently purchased a deuce and am going to overhaul the entire brake system once i get a chance to get it all apart. I've been hunting at the local truck parts lot through the deuces/5 tons that they have hoping to luck out and catch one with...
