    Who won what on 12 NOV?

    Andy & James, I was wanting to bid on the trailers at Hooks also. The lady from GL said they are approx 7 miles off base at a remote location and didn't seem inclined about stacking them as I was looking to purchase 2 also. I hope you can find somebody thats willing to help. Good deal on the...

    How About A V8?

    Why take something so simple and make it overly complex with a Duramax? For conversion sake take a B series Cummins with a P7100 pump and slap on bigger tires to get the Cummins to the sweet spot RPM range on the highway. The B series will run without batteries unlike a common rail diesel...

    is 60k to many miles

    snatch it up! Sounds like a decent truck. With 60k miles on the odometer and 1,200 hours that averages right at 50mph which is a pretty smokin fast average for an M35! One of the gauges were most likely replaced as most MV's average around 20-25mph when you divide miles and hours. I've...

    Awesome! Good looking setup! I would think those XL's singled with some weight in the bed would push pretty good.

    818 Why so hard to start!!!!!

    Unhook the fuel line right at the outlet of the fuel filter and put thefuel line in a gallon of clean diesel fuel. Truck should start right up and idle smoothly. As others have mentioned a crack in a fuel line or bad selector valve can cause hard starting, poor throttle response and irregular...

    M35a3 questions, inflating tires, trans fluid

    We are picking up an M35a3 tomorrow (I know, I know I make fun of them but had to try one for the prices they have been bringing) Assuming that a few of the tires will be flat and the possiblity that the central air inflation doesn't work how do you manually inflate the tires? Do they have...

    Help with H1 purchase

    H1's I've always kept a close eye on the civilian H1 prices as they seem like a neat vehicle to own. The 6.5 ltr Chevy diesel scares the heck out of me though. I know some will state that they have 300k on theirs with no issues but the majority of the ones I have seen have replaced motors...

    MEP-002AA2 5kw gen-set questions??

    Thanks again!!!! Thanks guys! I've printed your responses off so I have all of the filter #'s. Call me a redneck but I'm kind of hoping the gen set is obnoxious loud. I have one 3KW mil gen set with the Yanmar diesel and really love it. My dad and I must have watched that Yanmar run for 5...

    Thanks Scott, Thanks again for business and for all the compliments from this thread! We are going to miss having your truck around to look at! Just in case any of you are somewhat local or like to make weekend trips there is a REALLY nice truck pull coming up next weekend in our area...

    Got the M814 Home

    keep it! It sound like the repairs needed are pretty minor, I'd say keep it. The M814's are neat trucks. Andy
