    M35A2 LDT - Advanced Timing Question

    Might be worth adjusting the fuel screw. You running straight diesel or a fuel blend?

    M35A2 LDT - Advanced Timing Question

    Does it seem like the truck is lagging bad? If not, I'd leave it be.

    Modifying magnetic light kit if you dont have a slave adapter

    Looks good Ken! I thought about these lights too, it is a good deal for what you get.

    Starting problem

    Is there a click at all? Sometimes you have to press the start button numerous times. Mine does that every once in a blue moon. If that doesn't work, or no click, then you may have other problems.

    GA M35A2 officially insured

    I got Hagerty as well and they gave me a mileage limit of 2500 per year,but I also pay less than $450/year with fully coverage. The mistake they made was they never asked for the mileage on the truck, and I drove mine a little over 8k since I got it last June. If they don't ask, don't tell. I...

    Hurricane Ian projected to reach cat 4 - FL panhandle landfall

    Hurricanes can be a bit dicey to predict as conditions continue to change. In this case I'd plan for the worse if you're in the path in which it's predicted.

    Adding rollover protection to the MTVR:

    🤦 I figured it was steel like many other MV's.

    Hard top seals?

    I would go with the tube sealant. Let it dry for a period of time before assembly and no juices will be squeezed out so to speak. Honestly any silicone will do the job, but I wouldn't assemble with the sealant being wet (just applied) or you may never get it apart again, that and it may make a...

    Hard top seals?

    From what I understand, all that frame work helps provide some rigidity but also holds up the rubber or foam padding that usually goes on there. Is it really needed? Probably not, but it would help to hold up insulation and other little do-dads,lol.

    Batteries

    No problem. Like Mark said, that also affects your charging/battery system. You can also get a jump from another truck charging one at a time. When my batteries were going bad, it took about 15-20mins per battery using my Dakota that has a decent alternator and a V8. Smaller vehicles with...

    Batteries

    Yup. I've done that a time or two before I figured that out!

    Adding rollover protection to the MTVR:

    The damage actually doesn't seem so bad when you consider the amount of weight and force being applied. If no internal roll cage is desired, perhaps an exterior roll cage. Could run some strong tubing from the headache rack that's bolted to the bed and frame, come up above the cab and then run...

    Batteries

    No. I always charge one at a time. Everytime I've tried in series, it takes much longer and usually one battery takes majority of the charge and isn't sufficient to start engine. I would however, if I'm using a trickle charger along with a battery equalizer.

    Hard top seals?

    Tactical Repair has a video about these seals. I'll see if I can find it. You'll want to watch Tactical Repairs video series, weatherproofing the cab (M35 series). For the front top windshield weatherstripping, that rubber piece will probably work the best or be the easiest to work with, but...

    M35A2 vs. M35A3 In Snow and Ice

    Is the ram powered by a hydraulic pump?

    M35A2 vs. M35A3 In Snow and Ice

    Haha, well, even some pictures of how you mounted it could help! I have a pretty good idea of how I'd do it, but I always like to see how others have done it and compare it to my idea so I can make the best educated decision. Either way though, that deuce looks good with the plow on it!

    Winterization/arctic kit

    If it's a long the seam, then at least that's an easy fix with seam sealer. Could also apply seam tape after the sealer to make sure it's fully sealed. Another option is to use silicone and thin it down with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Test on a small section of vinyl to make sure no...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That looks really good!
