    Zero Oil Pressure

    That makes me think that your sending unit and gauge are not made for each other. It's half what most read. Def check what others have suggested first.

    M109a2 roof rack ideas

    This is what we did. Branch pusher and cab-over rack. We will also add solar panels between the rails on top of the box.

    Inexpensive camper/utiliy box for m35a2

    Don't want to hijack the thread . . . but since it was first mentioned here . . . Uncle, Picked up one of those 50 gal step tanks. Mine measures 16" high, the space is 15 1/4". Did you have to do some mod'ing to make it fit? Was looking at maybe cutting the lip that sticks down from the cab. Is...

    ODDBALLs M109 w trailer

    A far as I've been able to tell they didn't make one out of ally to fit the 109's. I've been thinking of having one made, or mod'd. Elise and I have a two person waltz that we do taking the ladder up and down. 8)

    The Jacqueline Cochran Air Show (Thermal Air Show)

    What would the route be . . . through J-Tree? I would guess not. We might have to connect in Palm Springs as well. Could always route through J-Tree, then the park, which would drop us out on Box Canyon and down to Mecca. Could then roll into Thermal from the south :twisted...

    My first Deuce

    Those just sound like normal, minor, bads. rofl That's just how the trannys find their level . . . once they get it sort out it's up to you to remember what the level needs to be. lol The oil pressure could be a miss matched sender/ gauge and the axle could be leaking because of a plugged vent.

    Has anyone used Rubatex for sound dampening?

    Is there a reason not to use the reg fatmat under the hood?

    Check your fuel pump!!!

    Had some of those issues when I was working on our fuel probs this winter. Ended up using an old screw driver to cold chisel a groove into the side and turning it that way . . . w/ a hammer and a chisel. I then replaced all of those screws w/ allen headed screws . . . no more probs. Details...

    M109 VIN question need help

    With ours we checked all the axle, etc. tags and came up w/ a lot of `72 year dates on parts that looked orig. We didn't have a date stamp on the data plate either.

    Riverside SOCAL Meet 25 May

    Guess this is not going to happen again while you're here. Hope your trip north(?) goes well. I'll be headed for N.Nev the start of Aug. If you're anywhere near there maybe we can get in some Dirt Track Travel :beer:

    A type of Skid Plate?

    Those are all the things that I'm moving. Fuel tanks (2) - in bed, Batts - where fuel tank was, tool box - gone / steps lifted to the level of the tool rack, spare - in bed w/ hoist and stand up mount on the side. I will relocate fuel line as well. Will post pics as it progresses.

    My guess is fuel delivery issue...

    Dang, I had one of those once . . . `course it was caved in on one side, maybe I should have saved it and tried to straighten it. ;)

    My guess is fuel delivery issue...

    You don't really have to drop the tank. There's a plug in the bottom. If you take the pump out (which you can do on a cargo bed) to check the hose, you will have access into the tank. I drained, filtered, refilled, drained, filtered, refilled a few times. Leave the last bit in the bucket every...
