I love the Ps comics with Connie. They are very helpfull diagnostic tools. That is why I specified Marvel in the post above because super heroes don't work on MV's. They also don't look as good as Connie.

The -20 talks you through how to wire it. The simple version is this. The truck has two circuit breakers on the out side of the steering column on the engine side of the firewall. One is the horn and I forgot what the other one does. Wire #11 is power in to the breaker. Use one of the fancy T...

Diesel engines need to be spun fast to start. 75° is still not warm enough for a 6.2 to start without glow plugs. At least not without 5-10 seconds of cranking. Cranking at the proper speed that is. If you go back, look at the volt meter and see where it is when you turn on the key. Right...

I didn't see it mentioned in the thread yet. Engine heat is needed. That is why the artic cover for the front end blocks off the radiator just about all the way. A M35 has a great cooling system for summer use. It is too good for winter time. Unless you are on the throttle on the road at...

Yeah, you might be about the same cost to drive it since you are only looking at 700-800 miles. That is just 2 tanks of fuel.

We were blowing pumpkins up with that stuff a few weeks ago and thought it was neat. How much did you pack into that car?

The military tires have 100% sidewall aspect ratios when it is written as 11.00 or 16.00. That means that a tire 11.00 inches wide will have an 11 inch sidewall as well. Times that by 2 because the sidewall is on the top and bottom, add in the rim size to get how tall the tire is...

Are the plugs still working as noticed by fast starts and the volt meter being way down before and during cold starts for about 20 seconds? If so, then checking the bulb is what the -20 says to do. Then it has you pulling the control card and jumping a few wires to test it. I would suggest...

Glad you made it there and back with no troubles.

Sorry about that then. I look at Chiltons as just a step above Marvel Comics when it comes to actually helping repair a vehicle. I figured since you are an experience mechanic type you would have the same opinion and took that as a critique on my post. All good.

I don't get it Westech? My answer was short, but factual. The 6.2 uses roller tipped hydraulic lifters. The rocker arms are on a shaft that is held down by a few bolts. That means there is no adjustment of any kind for the valves. They only way the valves could not be working is if the...

What voltage do you have at the wires on the back of the alternator key on and key off with the plugs off?

TXdodgeman43 has the same mount on his M35A2. He got it as a kit from somewhere. The Dzus fasteners that came with the kit had a female part that installed under the step. I have bugged him for the past year about finding another kit and we haven't seen one. A fast way to get to your...

Lincoln, you haven't met Pistolnut yet. His M35A2 we recovered from the other side of SA in 2005. The several dozen layers of paint on the truck left a lead lined cloud in the air as they flaked off the first 100 miles or so. The truck runs great, but still needs some things. The M715 was in...

Al, I will get you one. Sermis thought he might have some of the military pins with the push button and was going to check.

Have you followed the steps Warthog outlined in post #6 above? What did you find?

Hydraulic lifters. Once they are set during build, they are set. Now, if yours are clattering away, then maybe they have worked loose, but a bent push rod would probably let you know that happened before the noise.

Top off the tank, check all your fluids, have a spare tire and all that is needed to put it on, simple hand tools (Don't forget most of the truck is metric or Torx), a cell phone and the number of at least one member here on the site. Then, just make sure you top off the tank after 200 or so...

Yes, the drivers alternator charges the front battery. Have you actually put a volt meter on the front battery and confirmed it is not showing 14.4 volts with the engine running? A bad battery, loose connections, corroded terminals could all cause a low battery with everything else working...

Actually, I would suggest checking your fuses for one that is loose in the panel. Specifically, the very bottom red 10 amp one. Have you cleaned your fuse panel, fuses and made sure they are making good contact? Next I would suggest you take a look at the ground at the top of the parking...
