    Hit a bump and NO lights

    That would have been good information to include in the first post. Do you have this: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/nn10.pdf That is the only literature that might help you since your truck is now in the "experimental wiring system" category.

    Hit a bump and NO lights

    You checked the fuse but maybe the fuse isn't making contact after the fuse. If you can remove the fuse and use a pick to bend the fuse holder contacts in a bit along with cleaning them. It might help. However, that doesn't explain your 8 volts. Or the getting bright just before it went dark...

    Looking for a new idle air control valve

    OK. So a fast idle solenoid is what you need? I thought some shop was trying to take you for a long expensive ride by your first post. Are you sure the solenoid is bad? They don't have the power to open the throttle by themselves. You have to push the throttle down to around half way and...

    1953 m35a1?

    Memphis and Antelope Valley are where I found most of my Gasser specific parts. There is also a good bit on Ebay sometimes. Kind of odd, but carb rebuild kits for that massive Holley are listed sometimes.

    Is this a GEP Navistar block?

    I just walked around my classroom looking at the valley of a few engines. 1985 CUCV 6.2 no dots. 1987 Chevy 6.2 no dots. 1994 NA Chevy 6.5 dots. 1995 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 1997 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 2005 GEP 6500 dots spelling out 506. I have a 1988 6.2 at home that I could look at to see if...

    1953 m35a1?

    Before you go buying parts. Do you want to keep it military spark plugs and wires or go civilian? Everything is different is why I ask and you can be spending money on parts you don't need.

    Looking for a new idle air control valve

    There is no idle air control valve on a 6.2 diesel. It does have a vacuum control module to regulate how much vacuum the transmission vacuum module gets based on throttle position. It looks like a little black plastic thing on the passenger side of the Injection Pump with a pair of vacuum...

    Banks Sidewinder Turbo Exhuast Manifold

    Rich said it all. Either works and both require some kind of small customization. The Banks set up if you get a complete set up actually is more square body friendly with the cross over pipe in front and not hitting the front drive shaft and the down pipe going inside the frame compared to the...

    1953 m35a1?

    The Gasser engine idles at 450 rpm. It sounds like a well oiled sewing machine at the block and like a monster waiting to be let loose at the exhaust. The sounds are awesome to a gear head. I have gotten a best of 4.89 mpg driving mine on the highway at 48-52 mph and a worst of 4.2 mpg on the...

    F-111 Aardvark - Brenham, Texas

    I saw the pictures on Facebook and wondered if you were involved. Cool.

    Fast idle and advance temp sensor.

    Yes. The non green wire at the sensor on the outside of the passenger rear cylinder head should have 12 volts with the key on all the time. I have an easier time going over the engine to get to the sensor. If you have young knees. Going through the wheel well might be easier.

    M1031 6.2 Engine Questions

    Something doesn't add up here. The vacuum lines by the IP and the plastic fitting that looks like an F are for the transmission shifting. They have nothing to do with how the engine runs. You could remove them and the engine shouldn't change. Glad you got it fixed, but something just doesn't...

    Banks 6.2 turbo kit from a c30 on my m998?

    As pointed out, you can do it, but it isn't recommended. There are a lot of threads on here where people try to argue about how a side mount turbo will work. I think I have seen a picture of one installed once, maybe. The truck wasn't done though, just the turbo on there without most of the...

    Valve Cover Sealant

    Permatex Right Stuff in the aerosol can works real well for that. The thing to remember is the length of the valve cover bolts. If they bottom out in the bolt hole. Then the chances of cracking the head at that spot go up. So, lay it on thick if not including the gasket. I use the gasket and...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    It has been hot here. HOT hot. Perfect time to test out the cooling system. However, I just haven't wanted to abuse the truck for no reason. Yesterday I had a reason. Colton is back at A&M for the fall semester. He called to tell me the drivers tie rod pulled out of the steering rack on...

    Onboard air

    Have you looked into the CO2 tank set ups? I converted a York compressor to fit on my M715 years ago. Added M35 air tanks under the bed, plumbed lines to both bumpers and loved it for the first few years. Then I had to use it about 8 hours straight recovering my M35 gasser. Running impact...

    Front wiring harness swap blues

    No doubt about it. M trucks are so easy to work on compared to the new civilian anything.

    Front wiring harness swap blues

    When I did the Gasser M35 10 years ago. I thought the wiring was easy. All the old stuff was just cut out and every fastener was broken. I put it back together with all new. Also, no body work. I could do it all sitting on a stool or standing. That is is what makes this difficult. Being part...

    Front wiring harness swap blues

    I started about a year ago removing the broken wiring harness from my M35A2 whistler. I had everything under the dash and at the lights disconnected. Then the hurricane hit, I had family members evacuate to me and I hot wired the truck started to move it out of the way. Life happened and I just...
