Paint code used My local Sherwin Williams rep was very helpful when I was looking for paint to use on my truck. She got together with the support people who recommended SHER-CRYL HPA (High Performance Acrylic) Can be sprayed, rolled, or brushed and looks pretty good to me. Went with 24084...

Thanks for doing the leg work on this. I don't plan on missing it this time. Been real busy lately - will get back to you soon. October date leaves me plenty more time to get work done on the truck.

If you mean "rotate" the driveshaft side to side it may just be normal play. Depends how big the pieces you found inside are. Do you drive much with the front axle engaged? Pulling one out to inspect is a lot of work. I just did it since parts of a broken collar came out of the drain hole...

Thanks! Just to be clear - are you guys lubing the felt channels or leaving them dry?

Does anyone recommend anything to lubricate the channels the glass rides in? Installed NOS doors complete with windows etc. and it is very hard to roll up the windows. Had to pull them up a bit at a time and work the crank. Have not gone inside them yet to look for trouble but I didn't expect to...

I am not certain but it seems likely. I notice the same thing from the tanks on my truck and the compressor is lubed from the engine oil supply so any blow by will end up in the air system. This is true even with industrial compressed air systems and the water and oil is often removed thru the...

After much reading on these forums and researching oils I had gone with Mobil Delvac 50W Synthetic Transmission Fluid. Thought it would be great but I ended up having a harder time shifting after that. Certain gears grinding more going in etc. Switched to an ISO150 40W non-synthetic circulating...

Have fun guys and be careful. Hope to be there next time - way too much to get done with the weather etc.

Been working on truck like crazy in hopes of getting out there with you. Broke into front axle to change seals and boots etc. only to discover a broken collar in the bottom of the pumpkin. Have a good takeout from Boyce in the back of my truck planning to get it in next weekend. Big job pulling...

Last bucket of oil was a brand new 5 gallon pail of Mobilube 80w90. Went in looking perfect. Pulled the driver side apart yesterday. Other than oil that came out of the spindle when I took out the bottom bolts it looked pretty good. Some water in the boot though. Axle shaft had water on it...

Good morning gents, Last night I drained the oil in my front diff prior to tearing it all down and replacing boots and seals. When I loosened the drain plug pure water came out at first - nice and clear - maybe half a cup. Once the water stopped I had to unscrew the plug further for the oil to...

Have you had any luck with this? I got mine running - lift pump plug must have gotten oxidized or loose being knocked with the battery charger. Poor troubleshooting on my end.

Let me know what you do to get it started. I removed, cleaned, and installed new o-rings. Put it all back together. Same thing, crank on it a while but no start. I have not tried bleeding anything as a previous post seemed to indicate that is not necessary. I let the fuel pump run for about an...

Easy to find something else that needs fixing! I have the boots, knowing I was doing this job and that they were all cracked. Hadn't considered how to get the old fittings off past the sleeves. Would like to be able to change them now while it's apart.

Does anyone have a method for changing the rubber caps that go over the connectors where the fuel lines come into the top of the HH? Looks like you would need to remove the flare sleeves and then the nuts to get them on. Mine are really on there - and not sure where to get new sleeves anyway...

Very True Bill about the tank gender at the time. Read a book about the Battle of Cambrai, pretty remarkable story. Being a tanker wasn't so great in those days and it wasn't long before the Germans developed AT Rifles and rounds for cannon which could really put a hurtin' on those early tanks.

Is there a similar place to look for the actual service record of a vehicle? I have an M35A2 and would like to know where it was based so I can put the correct markings on it.

Sounds good Rusty thanks for the information. Perhaps by the time I need to change the filters again the new setup will be available.

I understand now. From reading the previous posts it seemed to me that the "Bases" would somehow thread into the existing original filter setup and "Adapt" them for use with modern spin-on filters. If I am understanding correctly these bases are use to replace the originals. If I am still wrong...

Would also like to know the part numbers for the bases and filters you would use to convert this. Make life a lot easier and sounds pretty inexpensive.
