    Driveline Vibration...very specific

    Besides the obvious ujoints already mentioned. Check the crossmember holding the transmisison/tcase and everything associated with the mount for them. Somebody already mentioned tcase mount, but that could be the actual bolt together part or the rubber mount to the cross member. Check both...

    German STORCH of WWII

    The actual truth behind the shade lined roads is Napoleon had the trees planted so his army could march in the shade. The Germans just returned the favor and reversed the flow 3 times over the following 150 years.

    Fresh fuel tune up

    6 years ago tomorrow Sermis, Boxcar and myself picked up 4 M35A2's, 3 M105A3's and a M101A2 from Warthog. We had 3 people picking up 4 truck and 4 trailers. Part of the recovery process was the 3 barrels of WMO Sermis allowed us to bring along. My truck always ran pretty good, but has never...

    German STORCH of WWII

    I was at an airshow in Hearne, TX probably 20 years ago now. One of those flew in. The guy let me climb around on it. Very interesting plane. Be neat to have, but a Carbon Cub kit will do the same and cost a bunch less.

    cold idle

    If yours is there, getting power but not working. Pull the rubber boot off. Look real close and you will probably find one of the hair thin leads from the plug broken. Very carefully solder it in place is my suggestion. The cold advance solenoid and the fast idle solenoid really do help a...

    cold idle

    I have had broken fast idle solenoid operations before. It really doesn't matter much at start up until the outside temp is below 30° or so. The engine will chug, chug some if no throttle is applied. Of course, the colder the air, the worse it will run. Normal summer operations without the...

    How many of you use your cucv's everyday ?

    Colton got his license yesterday. So, now RED is a daily driver for him. That gives me at least 2 MV's leaving the house each morning.

    M1009 Understanding Warm Start Woes

    Anytime the inside of the engine is below 150˚, it is considered cold. The glow plugs normally kick in below 125˚. You could just be in the dead zone between the two.

    How many of you use your cucv's everyday ?

    Every day here as well. One of the M1009's or the former USAF 6.2 Suburban. Maybe one or two days a month something else gets driven to work.

    Low idle in drive when stopped?

    If it just started after not doing it before. I would suggest a fuel filter change and a look at the lift pump.
  11. Barrman

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    Here is my suggestion: Allow the "new post" button to work even after someone has logged on, hit it and then logged off. As in I might need to look up the part numbers for a M35A2 secondary fuel filters. However, I know if I get on the site and haven't been here in a few days. All the post...

    Windshield replacement

    The antenna adaptor is available from LMC for less than $20 to your door if I remember correctly.

    Few questions on fuel delivery

    Check the return line check valve on the IP. Even though the pump was rebuilt "a few years ago" it still could be your problem.

    glow plug problem after putting new cab on m1008

    The cold timing advance and fast idle (green wires on the IP) are controlled by a temperature sensor on the outside rear of the passenger side head. Nothing to do with the glow plug system. Totally seperate. A picture of how you have the solenoid for the glow plugs wired up would probably...

    Overhaul questions/ FDC bypass at Tooele? Always?

    I started not to post, but figured since nobody has anwered in 3 days, something needs to be said. I don't have any M35 parts are work here with me so I can't go check. However, I think the fuel fittings are non standard sizes. I re use all of my fittings. It has been a while since I messed...

    m1008 Window Roll Up issues

    I have had 2 of my 8 window regulators (The big gear and little gear the window crank attaches to) lock up on me. Nothing to do but buy a new one and install it. If yours goes fine for a bit then feels like it locks up, it is probably the bearings behind the crank handle shaft. As stated...

    Temperature light operation

    Yes, it should light up as you are cranking. That is proper opperation. The trouble shooting section of the -20 takes you through when it should light and how to test it as well.

    Injection pump screw

    I have had them break on me as well. All of the 5 or 6 I have broken were above the pump housing once the lid was removed. Go ahead and pull the cover. There might be enough left to turn the rest of the screw out with your fingers or a pair of pliers.

    UGH, M1008 fuel system woes.

    What you described could be any number of issues. Have you followed the -20 troubleshooting section on engine starting and symptoms of not running well?

    Dual Alternators with AC Compressor (not m1010)

    Here you go. Very nice people on the phone to talk with. I have not ordered from them however so have no clue about actual customer service. http://www.cpifabtx.com/catalog.html
