Front blinker bulb holders shorting out as mentioned above, front bulb holders with broken off ground tabs and broken front holder ground wires are all common problems with this model truck.
The -20 tells you things to check in the great troubleshooting section. Then it tells you to "trace...
Pistolnut and I are talking about me dragging his Whistler behind mine to the event. We will then spend some of Friday and Saturday afternoon swapping out the entire wiring harness. Our thinking is that all of us spent hours sitting around talking last year after we got back from the show. We...
Scratch my M715 from the event. It has a nice window on the side of the oil pan now. Long story. Anyway, it will probably be just the M35A2 for me this time around.
I did mine last summer and can't remember any problems. I think you are looking at the nut that holds the stud on. Look at it from the outside of the truck. I am pretty sure I just used an impact over the tire to get the nut off.
I know I spent more time getting tools and stuff out/picked...
Looks like the modified M715 gang is all here. Getting along real well too.
Adam, what ever number engine you were on in 2006 when we all played together at WITC sure did impress me. Glad you are getting back to driving it again.
All the non M715 owners reading this:
The M715 doesn't really...
Having Dueces, A M715 which is basically the first CUCV truck and a pair of M1009s. Along with a USAF 6.2 powered Sububan. Plus a pair of M101 and M105 trailers. I have to decide each morning which to drive and plan out which to spend money on to drive next week or next month. My family...
My M1009 consistently got 19-22 mpg all stock. I put 33x12.50 tires on and running the same gps road speed still got 19-22 mpg in all kinds of driving. It couldn't pull hills above 52 mph either.
I put in a new pump and haven't gotten better than 17 in the last 4 months running the same basic...
The LU4 winch used on M37 and M715 trucks uses one of those curved dish type plugs to seal the bottom of the selector shaft. Just like on the yoke. Set in the the hole and whack it with a hammer. The last one I replaced maybe cost a dollar.
I enjoy driving my Gasser M35 more than I do the Whistler M35A2. I also use the Gasser for chores around the house. Mainly because I can talk and listen to people further away than the end of my arms.
However, as mentioned above. They are about double the cost to go down the road as a...
More than likely, you will need a u-joint type socket to get it off from way back behind the t-case. Wrap the flexible part of the socket with electrical tape to make it stiffer and just put the bolt back in with it.
3/8" bolt should be torqued to around 35 ft-lbs.
I was going to suggest that as well. When I first heard the sound and had a delayed shift. I checked the fluid level. It was fine, but there was a fine coating of the silver slimy stuff on the stick. Less than 2000 miles on the filter and fluid, but before that, who knows? I got it off the...
You are the third member to use Camp Wood as your location. The other two actually live the Houston area, but have land out your way. I drive something green out to your town several times a year normally.
Your Sheriff is very supportive of MV's licensed under the FMV guidlines. One of your...
CUCV trucks all had the round air filter with a single oblong shaped air opening over the passenger side valve cover. Basically, the same air filter housing the civilian trucks used. GM used plastic ducting/tubing and such to try and quiet down the air noise heard inside the truck. I know...
Glad you got your shifting fixed. I plugged one of the vacuum lines all the way back in on mine and all is well.
I have been thinking about that noise though and think I found it. Air filter inlet. The Bomber had a plastic noise baffle on the intake when I got it. No outside air inlet...
