    HUGE KUDO'S to OD Iron

    Wallew, don't feel too bad. I did some alternator work on a civilian vehicle many years ago, and the battery kept going dead. I finally realized that when I put the alternator back together, I had neglected to remove the pin that was holding the brushes out of the way during reassembly. Brushes...

    Added Air Coupler

    My M35 had an outlet under the dash. Since I have 1 MV, a coupler, and no gladhand adapter, I put mine under the dash. I tested it with my impact wrench, and I can take lug nuts off with it. Scott

    1986 M1009 Information needed

    The 3 speed automatics (TH 400) are controlled with vacuum. The early model TH 700-R4, up to 1989 (I think) are controlled with a cable from the throttle linkage. The late model 700-R4, or 4L60E, is electronically controlled. Any Chevrolet transmission will bolt to the block, but almost...

    Well, if Sam is bringing up the rear, I am grateful to be the slow guy this time. That puts me in front, as far away from him as possible:twisted:. Scott

    You may have some valves stuck in the valve body. A transmission man could help you with that. Good Luck. Scott

    Deuce Catastrophic Engine Failure

    I hope you can find a cheap and easy way to get your truck back n the road. There's a guy somewhere around Ballinger with a lot of military equipment. I saw his place one weekend while I was passing through. My question is, how many people on this site know where Eula, TX is? I do:-D Hint...

    What's the advantage of 24volt system?

    Maybefixit, you assume correctly. Most gasoline engines have around 9:1 compression ratio. The old diesels, GM, Ford, and Dodge, all had a compression ratio of about 22:1. With the higher compression, relatively large cubic inch motors, and glow plugs or manifold heaters, one battery was really...

    horn stuck in traffic

    Pawnshop drove his M35 to a friend's house and parked. Friend was sitting in the driver's seat, and bumped the horn button. Horn began honking, and refused to stop. Unhooked wires from the horn, still honking. Sam drained the air tanks, and he and friend went to the Lowe's to get a cap for the...

    **HELP** Quick Question regarding the EUC

    I won my first auction (a duece) in December, EUC approved, and duece brought home in January, and got the sale and export letter in February. I assumed (and you know how that works) that it was a form letter, and ignored it. I just bought a M105 trailer, got the EUC back in about a week, picked...

    Deuce door

    I also put the west coast mirrors on my duece. One of my pins was stuck and broken. The top half moved with the door, and the bottom half stayed still. I took off the door, put the hinge on the ground with a socket underneath, and pounded. No go. I had to drill the pin out in my drill press. I...

    Adjusting the steering wheel position

    Pull your pittman arm off, and see if it has a flat spline every 90 degrees. If so, straighten your steering wheel, put your pittman arm back on, and drive off. Scott

    CUCV brakes dragging....

    Sarge, master cylinders rarely stick, but I suppose it's possible. If it was sticking, I would think the pedal would have a lot of play, and then hit solidly. It may be that you are too ugly to own a CUCV, but I doubt it, being the handsome devil that you are. Doghead may be on to something. Of...
