Holy Cow..! You have all the answers! Thank you so much for the links and knowledge. I have followed your links and I am leaning towards the COM 5203 In Tank replacement pump. It is expensive, but it seems like a better fit. I have an external pump (12v) that looks like the Airtex E8131...
Hello everyone! I finally got my deuce to run, but it wasn't long before it shut off. I figured it had a "Fuel Related Issue" and I was correct. I extracted about 25 gallons of yellow goo, sludge, water, and weird stuff from the tank using a syphon hose. I then decided to remove the fuel...
Today, I found out what "Needs Brake Work" means. There is absolutely no pedal pressure, as if there is no brake fluid. I spent time looking at the master cylinder, trying to figure out how to add brake fluid. Until now, I simply removed the cap, added the fluid, reset the rubber vacuum...
I was able to get the parts spreadsheet - Yeah!!!. I was reading the posts and I saw that there is a Wiki for these trucks. How does a member access the Wiki? I cannot seem to find a link or path for the Wiki. Thank you for the help!
Haven't yet brought it home. The owner states that he does drive it, but when I tried to start it I was unsuccessful. After reading this post, I am thankful it didn't start because I didn't think to do a PMCS before I cranked it. You would think that after 24 years of AFS, I would have done...
I did download many of the TM's for my truck, but I didn't get them all. I have never seen so many manuals for one family of trucks. I can only guess why the TM's are broken into sub-texts, such as TM 9-2320-209-10-1, TM 9-2320-209-10-2, etc. I imagine that if they were all in one manual, it...
I hope to get the truck home in the next couple of weeks. I will be certain to post pics when I get it home. It is UGLY right now, but I like to paint and have a couple of gallons of OD Green. It needs some body work and somebody put a mechanical winch on it but I don't know if it is...
Wow... that was FAST! Hopefully, I will learn all of this over time. I can't wait to bring my truck home. I hope to pick it up soon. The seller stated that it needs "Brake Work" and has a "Bad U-Joint", so I will have to fix that stuff first. Hopefully, I will be able to get a copy of the...
Hello All! I finally bought an M35A2 (NSN 2320-00-077-1616). I know absolutely NOTHING about this truck but I am super excited to learn about it and repair it as well as I can. I have listed some questions below that I am sure you folks can answer:
How do I determine which engine I have?
How...
I just bought a deuce (00-077-1616), but it needs help, which means I need help! I tried to download the spreadsheet, but of course, I was not successful. If you have an opportunity, would you please email the spreadsheet to me at rmesgt@gmail.com. Additionally, I think this is an AWESOME...
THANK YOU SO MUCH for quick and insightful reply! I didn't think to check the -34P manual. I am chagrined and will be certain to do so going forward. Also, thank you for the torque specification. Fortunately , the yoke shaft is clean and smooth, so I don't have to repair or replace it.
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted but I ran into a hiccup in regards to the transfer case {NP208} in my M1008. I noticed that ATF was dripping from between the front yoke and the drive shaft u-joint. I removed the four bolts that hold the drive shaft u-joint to the front yoke...
I sent the email below to the folks at Pioneer Automotive explaining the problems with their cable (CA-8603) and what I did to fix the problems to make the cable work on my truck. I did not receive a response and probably won't, but if I do, I will let you all know...

Thank you so much for your reply to my post. I followed the link and got an EXTENSIVE EDUCATION. I will look into the part number identified in the link to see if I can locate one as a spare. I still think an adjustable cable bracket above the fuel injector pump would be the best "fix" so...
Hello All... I had to replace the accelerator cable on my M1008 today. I had to do the same thing several years ago on my M1009. I bought the replacement cable from O'Reilly Auto (Part # CA-8503 $23.39) and installed it, sort of... Rather than install the cable completely, I connected it to...
