I have driving examples of both. The Gasser is great for parades and working around the place. No noise, smooth and with a 400 rpm idle will crawl super slow. It will top out around 65-70 mph on flat ground. 4.5-5 mpg is what I get. Hot starts are a pain. Parts are out there and really...

What year is your truck and does it have the really old water cooled air compressor? This a huge long shot, but worth asking. Do you have a water coolant heater? Those heater cases will hold a lot of coolant before you can see any leaks. Not 2 gallons though. Most radiator shops will have...

Exactly. The G-742 trucks which are the M34, M35, etc.. started with Timken top loading axles. Rockwell bought out Timken and with just a few changes inside, made them for the next 40 years the same. All 3 of mine still have the Timken tags on them. The G-749? M135, M211 trucks had GM axles...

M35 shackles and pins fit just fine. I put a pair on the rear of my M1009 to tie it down to the trailer. I haven't removed them yet since. Only one of us would notice they are wrong anyway.

The -10 tells you which light lights up when during the start process. Then, the huge electrical troubleshooting section in the -20 takes you through how to make each light come on for test purposes.

Lets see if this works?

Get the special ball joint adjusting socket too! Read the -20 and you will find that the upper ball joints are adjustable on both the M1009 and the K5 civi blazer. The book actually talks you through adjusting the ball joint. Only if you can't adjust anymore does it say to replace them. To...

I pulled mine from the '52 Gasser M35 apart because it had been sitting for about 20 years and would barely move. That is how I know the ears break off real easy. Both of mine did. Flux cored aluminum rod and a torch fixed it just fine. I should have just bought a new one since I spent about...

Thanks, that is what you were looking for, right?

Be very careful pushing that pin out. The cast pedal ears will break off if you look at them wrong. At least that has been my experience. I agree with the above. Get the pedal unhooked from the linkage and verify that it is the problem. You will need a helper to get the two hold down bolts...

Here is how a 1952 b/o stop light was. I put regular lights on both sides so I can have blinkers. That means my lenses are not correct. Bucket placement, mounts and such are.

He is saying that your mechanic is trying to bs money out of you. As proven in a few post above. A TH400 does have a sprag in it. You can't tell it is bad by looking at the outside though. Only by tearing it apart and maybe driving it and connecting the problem with a specific part. Not by...

One more thing to add. The multifuel engine loves to be used. Just idling or driving around town for a while will make it start to get mad and leak, stumble, slobber, run bad, etc... I think one of the manuals or maybe the ps cartoon even has "load truck to maximum GVW and drive 100 miles, see...

Yes, those 12 I think nuts are all that hold the drum on. You really should look through the -20 for the M44 series trucks. It takes you through the brake inspection process and hub removal with pictures and everything. One important reminder is this. The bearins on a M35 are supposed to be...

Compared to a modern turbo diesel 1 ton truck. The M35 is pretty slow and under powered on the open road. That might be what you read about. I have flat towed other M35's for hundreds of miles. Sure, you know they are there and a good hill will slow you down. But, they will still pull...

If you are looking for short term fixes because a rebuild is probably in the cards. Try adding Trans X if you need to add some fluid. I had that stuff get me 150 miles home one time years ago when I picked up a truck with a TH350. Reverse worked and drive got the truck to rocking forward, but...

You only need a 9/16 to pull drum off once the tires are removed. However, I doubt the drum will come off once the nuts are all removed. It will be stuck to the hub. OTC part number 1911 is the socket you need to pull the hub off. Which is the better way to go. You get to check your gear...

Sorry, front open and rear with the Gov Loc limited slip. 3.08:1 ratio

10 bolt front and rear.

Do the Ohm check of each plug. Also remember that the glow plugs are not a permanent installment. They were made to be replaced every few years even if they check out ok. Just for kicks, put a volt meter on the pink wire to the IP. Verify that voltage is there and stays there while you are...
