In a commercial truck without an engine brake or a retarder a downhill grade usually has to be driven in the gear one would use to climb said grade. This is to ensure that it is not only the service brakes that stand between you and a smoking wreck at the bottom of the hill. This knowledge was...

@Gunfreak25 I admire your tenacity. Sometimes, walking away for a while is the right thing to do. Do something else, something fun...you never know what that brain comes up with when left to mull over things without pressure. Thanks for documenting your journey so well.

@Yukon Russ Welcome and good luck with your truck preservation effort! I don't have anything (knowledge or parts) for the old gasser M35.

Looks like a fantastic way to build a dump truck; no futzing around with cutting frame and welding on hinges etc. Thanks for the details!

@Mackafd That subframe assembly looks as if it weighed half the payload of a Deuce already! So this is complete with pump, just needs the PTO part set up and a tank? Out of interest, is it difficult to adapt a suitable dump bed to it?

@Gunfreak25 When mine had the fluttery exhaust, died randomly and often felt during driving like I had lifted my foot off the throttle (although I was standing on it!) it turned out to be fuel filters. I had discarded that idea, because they were next to new. Changed filters...problem went...

@Mullaney Yes, the delineator panels are on magnets. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I finally got around to mounting and wiring the marker lights on the bed. The three red rear center lights I mounted on the tailgate. I did not want to cut out the panel under the bed (M35A3 style), I did not want to mount them underneath said panel because that interferes with the pintle and...

Have you considered buying a lottery ticket too? You seem to have it going on! Win a 5 ton on the first bid and it turns out to be an easy fix runner! Did you knock Murphy unconscious or what?? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

My aftermarket LED headlights did fit; I guess there is individual differences. Where do they hit? The ceramic (?) wire passthroughs at the back of the bucket?

12 point head connecting rod bolts for White 2-155 tractors were what I used. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ldt-465-connecting-rod-failure.187533/ Here is one source: https://www.farmlandtractor.com/i-157326-r401091706-white-oliver-connecting-rod-bolt.html?brand:6 Here is another...

The LDS-465-2 is a higher rpm version that is rated for up to 2850 rpm under full load and 3100 rpm no load. LDS-465-2: 195 HP @ 2800 RPM 425 LbFt @ 2000 RPM Others may chime in but I think it exists in small numbers only and was found in 8x8 vehicles. I am sure that engine can make a Deuce...

@Gunfreak25 I admire your tenacity. This will be a thoroughly gone through truck. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

At least the motor mounts, front and back, are readily available. Wow, you were not kidding regarding "that radiator hose should be straight"!

Apologies if I offended. Never my intent.

@montaillou I think your idea is interesting and I also do not think it addresses the real weak spot of single circuit air assisted hydraulic brakes. The brakes work fine without air pressure (albeit not as effectively). There is a mechanical connection between the pedal and the hydraulic...

They are simply a result of standardizing the axles so that there is not a different differential chunk, depending on which position the axle is in. All three axles use identical centre differential parts (and that includes the top loader flanges, although they are really only needed on the rear...

Nitpicking, I know, but did the fuel shutoff plunger that connects the cable outside and the lever inside of the IP also move freely? That bugger can rust and stick as well. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

In case you do not get fuel at the injectors, check the fuel delivery from the tank forward. - get a cheap pressure gauge that screws into a 1/8 in NPT port. There is a square plug on top of the tank where the fuel pump sits. You can put the gauge in place of that plug. With the accessory...

The engine will fire on ether because ether replaces fuel and you already have air and compression. No, it cannot be electrical. The multifuel needs fuel, air and compression to start. Your issue is "no fuel". Next check....loosen one of the injection lines at an injector and wrap a paper...
