Sounds like you are way short on engine power. Mine goes 60+ with ease. The axles have 5:38 ratio, there is no ratio that would make it slower only faster.

Old 2 cycle Detroit Diesels had that feature. Never heard of a 4 cycle Diesel engines having it. These multifuel runaways typically happen when the fuel control lever in the injection pump is gummed up from sitting for years. If you drive your truck periodically you should be fine.

Lots of civi trucks, google “Reo Gold Comet”

Sure, that is an OA-331 "Gold Comet" gasoline engine used in M35 series trucks in the 1950s. 331 cubic inches, overhead valve. Made by Reo Motors and Continental Motors

I don’t have any ideas other than that you will have to continue diagnostics to find either a vacuum leak or carburetor issues. Mine would routinely flood the carb due to float needle sticking open due to fuel trash. Then it would run rough and smoke too.

Engine in vid sounds great. Mine is a bit clattery sounding also. On the vacuum circuit, the only vacuum use during normal (no wipers) operation should be the crankcase ventilation valve. Engine vacuum is also routed to the fuel/vacuum pump, then the wipers. It’s possible the vacuum pump...

I use the SW Kem-lustral wrought iron flat black and it is perfect in every way. I source this from my local store. It might be possible to source these paints from your local store as well. I know the FS numbers are in their system.

Right 500 psi way to high even at 100 ambient.

Two reasons. When the system is opened to do the repair, air and humidity enters the system. Air is “non-condensable” meaning it can’t function as refrigerant. Moisture will cause corrosion inside the system.

Ugh something failed big time. Maybe you can find out what blew out yourself. Look for oily spots in the area you described. If something like an evaporator coil blew, you will need to find that part and either replace it yourself or supply it to the shop. They won’t have access to military...

Best part is load out what 1 hour from the house? Nice buy!

If you are using a M62, just rig up a drag winch pull with as many part line as you have snatch blocks for and the truck will pull out. Don’t even try the ridiculous nylon strap jerk pulls you see on u tube.

So what happens when he sells someone generic 3/8” J30R7 fuel/emission hose and someone clueless installs it on a fuel injection system that requires J30R9 high pressure hose?

What’s important to know about the viscous clutch is fording. With that clutch, if the engine is red hot after a highway run, fan fully engaged, and you enter deep water, all the blades will break off the fan, and puncture the radiator. This obviously is a show stopper to Uncle but maybe not you.

I have extracted CCKWs from 30+ year naps in the woods and usually they roll ok once you pull them loose. That can take massive pulling effort. The IH is a much heavier duty truck than the Jimmy.

Not sure what truck you are working with. But yes a 6 hole Budd pattern is used on M35A2, M34, CCKW, Half track, M8M20 etc.

AMG did put the viscous clutch on H1s, Tobash yours should have it.

Agree with msgjd. 20" M34 Reo combat wheels are not the same as WWII 20" combat wheels used on halftracks M8/M20s etc.

It's a 1967. Shows up in the Carnac historical VIN database which means it was one of the last to get surplused out. The 4K7721 is the US Army registration number which is stenciled on the hood sides. And that year would be Kaiser Jeep manufacturer.
