When you start talking about the lift, driveshaft changes and such. ColoradoK5.com has a much more experienced member group for those things than many people here.

White smoke. Dirty white that smells like diesel or puffy bleached white that might have a bit of antifreeze smell? If I is the dirty oily white let the engine run for an extended bit of time. 45 minutes or more. After you have checked the cooling system and are sure you are not getting any...

Mine did as well.

Did you remove the ground wire bolts between the radiator and the fender on both sides and clean all of that real well? If you switches are all good, your dimmer is good, your lights themselves are good and your grounds are good. Then the firewall plug or a rubbed raw wire is your issue...

The stock axle and springs will probably do what you want them to do. You might want to check local and federal laws about what is required of the trailer to legally haul another vehicle before you get too far into this though.

I don't recall that question ever being asked before. What exactly are you wanting to do with the frame? I ask because for most vehicles the military weight rating is for off road when operated by a 17 year old idiot with a heavy right foot. If you are building an expedition trailer out of it...

I did a York compressor based OBA system with M35 air tanks on my M715 14 years ago. I used semi truck air brake lines to plumb quick connect fittings to both bumpers. Cutting off a male fitting and welding on a 1” round plate made a great plug to keep out crud. It worked great! Until it...

The Governor just sealed the event for good. No more that 10 people gatherings. National and state parks are closing as well. I went to the store this morning to get a few pounds of beef. I found out there is no ground beef in this town. With no known date for more deliveries. I ended up going...

Thanks for the update Rory.

A&M has cancelled all events and gatherings of more than 50 people for the rest of the semester. Online classes only for now. The museum website still says the living history weekend is a go. However, with the way things are falling. This might fall too. If that happens, I think we should...

There you go. The president of the LSMVPA has spoken.

Come over to the Texas Rally in Bryan 3 weeks from now and you will get a chance. If you can’t make it. The Lone Star MVPA meets every 3rd Wednesday at Camp Mabry. Lots of M35 owners are members. Great group of people too. I’m sure a test drive can be arranged.

Since it is basically a new to you used vehicle. You don’t know anything about it. The starter solenoid is unknown to you until it is pulled and looked at. I had a non Delco solenoid on one of my trucks when it came to me. It stuck on and ran away one night. I don’t recall ever reading about a...

I had one doing what you now describe. Check your isolated ground wire to the intake manifold at both ends. That fixed one. Another truck years ago had the same issue. Voltage was good running and I just lived with it. Until it started flickering brightly when I hit big bumps. The positive lead...

I hate to assume. But, are you by chance talking about a CUCV? If so, how did you check the alternator? Did you load test the batteries and are they fully charged?

A spare will also fit under the rear of a M101A2 with a wind up civilian truck/suv winch. I don't seem to have any pictures here at work of mine. I will get it at home this weekend.

Welcome to the fun. Just so you know. Typing in all capitals is considered yelling and bad manners. I have one of each of the pumps you listed on non turbo charged 6.2 engines and can't tell a difference when driving. Pretty much any of the 6.2 pumps will work on a healthy engine with good...

The mechanical fuel system is not connected in anyway to the fuel gauge. Yes, the fuel pick up sock mentioned is on the same housing as the fuel level sender in the tank but I can't think of any thing that would connect the fuel gauge moving with fuel not getting picked up. Unless you have a...

The glow plugs on a stock M1009 are 12 volt. They get the same glow plugs as a 1985 Chevy or a 1998 Chevy for that matter. Delco 9G or 12G is what they came with when new. I would suggest Delco 60G to put in now. The 60 G is self limiting so the chance of swelling or exploding are greatly...

Looks very stout Rich.
