Check the ground on the bracket for the parking brake. That ground controls just about everything under the dash in some form or other. Can you hear the horn relay clicking when you push the button? If all that checks out, put a test light in the horn wire at the horn and see if power is...

A stock M1009 will have a 3.08 gear ratio and the gov loc rear. Try the truck off road before you do much to it. You will be amazed at how well it works once you put the tcase in 4 low. I love the off road performance. If you don't like the way it is or feel the need to power your way...

If it is happening with the truck sitting still. That means you have narrowed it down to what is moving at that time. Check your power steering pump bolts. There should be 3 that are behind the pulley. If they get loose, they will rub on the pulley and make weird noises. Or, just fall out...

Yep, check your balancer, replace if the rubber is coming off or missing. Now, going down the road. Especially in town or on roads with walls, the single exhaust echo on the drivers side only gives you half the exhaust note and it sounds kind of off. After that, you are down to injectors...

I do not know the cause yet. I did drive it to work this morning and the volt meter was where it should be. The truck will get driven today and maybe tomorrow. Then I will bring it into my class for my students to do ball joints, tie rod ends, front u-joints, turn the rotors and such all in...

I don't have a measurement of how tall I went. I actually cut down some M35 up rights and bows. I will try to get a tape measure on the center of the bows tonight.

Some back ground first. Direct Drive 27MT 24 volt starter. Rebuilt by a very good rebuilder a year ago next week after it wouldn't turn the engine anymore. Basically all internal parts new. New solenoid with "24V" stamped in the side of it. I have never let the starter turn more than 5...

Yes, that is a CUCV cargo cover. They are the only one with zippers. I use one for camping in a 101 with extended uprights and a 101 top on the 101 for hauling stuff.

Ok. Roll all the windows up, close the valence vents and open the front windshields about 3 inches. As long as you stay above 30mph, you will not be hot. Bring lots of water to drink because constant air blowing on your face will dry you out real fast. I have driven a M109 across I-10 in West...

The question that brought this thread back from the dead was can a 1 ton truck flat tow a M35? Yes it can. Can it be done with highway speeds? No. Is it safe? No. I don't understand your anger. You asked a question and some of us that have been there and done that answered. Yet, you...

Mermite can inserts fit great. Leave dents when you start the truck and forget to remove them though. Best cover I have read about is 2 liter soda jugs cut to a snug fit over the pipe. If you forget, they don't leave dents in what they fly into.

You can move a M35 with a 1 ton truck. However, you max safe speed could just be in the 20-25 range. I flat towed my M35 Gasser behind the M715 back in 2007. I had all my tools and a pair of M715 engines/tranmissions in the bed of the M715. Max speed for flat ground was 27 mph. Above that...

The exposed threads with two nuts on it is what he is talking about down near the pump housing. Yours have this? It probablyis under a sheet metal cover that is safety wired on. That cover sure does rattle sometimes sitting in my glove box.

The direct drive starter is big and very heavy. The motor shaft is directly connected to the Bendix gear. not much to fail or make noise except the Bendix. The reduction gear starter has just that. Reduction gears. The motor is smaller and offset above the Bendix housing some. It can have...

Once you remove the lunette nut. Hit the lunette as hard as you can with the biggest sledge hammer you can swing on the top left or right of the ring. The trailer will laugh at you. Don't take it personal. Hit it again on the other side of the lunette as the first swing. It will probably...

Do you have a gear reduction starter that has gears between the motor and the Bendix?

Mine had a lake of oil. I told a student to put some oil dry in there. I didn't watch him though. He had at least 50 pounds of the stuff in the can and looked like he was playing in a sand box working the clean stuff down to the oil. Two shop vac tub fulls later we had a clean can and there...

The block half of the oil cooler lines are 1/2" NPT. I screwed a pair of brass barb fittings in and made a loop with 3/8" fuel line. Also learned the cans have a drain plug under the flywheel end. Only learned this after we slopped all the spilt oil from the removed filter. Wanted to pass...

Just attach to the chain on the trailer so you don't bend the tabs. Then attach at the tab on the trailer. My max loaded so far has been 600 pounds and no bends anywhere. Be sure you have a rear landing leg, the trailer hooked to a truck or at least 100 pounds at the very front. Otherwise...

A M1008 cargo cover is about 1" too short to fit without pulling on a 101. It will fit though and gives more head room than a M35 in the back.
