    Are 6TL Batteries worth it?

    If your trying to use the batts from the funvee to do anything other than start it. Try and re think what your goal is. Running your house-toys off batts with a solar cell are not going to be reliable with the 6tl/tn or even the group 31. All are made for starting and slow recharge. Not any...

    M35a2 knock

    That would be way better than a bad bearing

    M35a2 knock

    I hate to say it but it sounds like a bad wrist pin bearing. A rod bearing would sound more at the bottom. Pull your oil filters and see if there’s some metal in there. If you don’t see anything in there. Drain the oil and check the magnets on the plugs.

    Stuck ujoints

    I would spend a little more time under the truck with a grease gun looking for fittings in the near future. Might save you more time in the future using a hammer. 😉

    M109A3 (M35A2) Shop Van overheating .... my steps to cure

    Gauges , sending units are not really as accurate as we would hope. More of a guide , loose wires , bad grounds etc. years of shaking around will cause things to go out of calibration. I have watched mine just start bouncing all over on a flat pice of ground. Put in a different gauge , sending...

    Starting research ld 465 1c turbo upgrade

    It also has a larger intake and air filter. Turbo won’t do squat if you can’t get air into it.

    Noise at very low speed

    I still haven’t got my SF97 either. , I do all my driving at O-dark 30. But I live in a fairly rural area. I thought I had huge suspension issues , at above 40 it felt like the wheels were going to fall off. Everything shook like I owed it money. A new set of csm tires and dumping those run...

    What engine can i use?

    I had a friend that had a V8 (gas) in an M-211. I think it was a 455 from some Cadillac , only had a few thousand Miles and had better top end but no low end tork. After checking the motor I found you could slide the crank about 3/8 of an inch in and out. the main “thrust” bearings were totally...

    New to this... 1952 Studebaker 6x6 M35, need good advice!

    Don’t put “gas” in the truck !🤯 it won’t last. It’s designed for diesel fuel “but” can run on other types of fuel , that is in case of AN EMERGENCY ! It’s your truck. Do as it as you want. There are LOTS of posts here on using waste oil an such. Also DON’T use either when trying to start. You...

    MEP-803A Hole Drilled in Fuel Tank from GovPlanet

    Gvmnt efficiency at its finest , how low on the IQ table are you when your drilling holes in fuel tanks ? I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that “person” isn’t long for this life. I’m just spitballing here but using an electric drill to make holes in fuel/gas tanks isn’t conducive to longevity. 🤔

    M1009 Crash/Rebuild

    You can replace all the broken /bent stuff , easy way to tell would be if nothing will align , door , hood etc. even now if looking at the passenger door , is the gap between the door and fender bigger ? Just shimming the crap out of everything will not fix the bent frame
