Lincoln, you haven't met Pistolnut yet. His M35A2 we recovered from the other side of SA in 2005. The several dozen layers of paint on the truck left a lead lined cloud in the air as they flaked off the first 100 miles or so. The truck runs great, but still needs some things. The M715 was in...

Al, I will get you one. Sermis thought he might have some of the military pins with the push button and was going to check.

Have you followed the steps Warthog outlined in post #6 above? What did you find?

Hydraulic lifters. Once they are set during build, they are set. Now, if yours are clattering away, then maybe they have worked loose, but a bent push rod would probably let you know that happened before the noise.

Top off the tank, check all your fluids, have a spare tire and all that is needed to put it on, simple hand tools (Don't forget most of the truck is metric or Torx), a cell phone and the number of at least one member here on the site. Then, just make sure you top off the tank after 200 or so...

Yes, the drivers alternator charges the front battery. Have you actually put a volt meter on the front battery and confirmed it is not showing 14.4 volts with the engine running? A bad battery, loose connections, corroded terminals could all cause a low battery with everything else working...

Actually, I would suggest checking your fuses for one that is loose in the panel. Specifically, the very bottom red 10 amp one. Have you cleaned your fuse panel, fuses and made sure they are making good contact? Next I would suggest you take a look at the ground at the top of the parking...

For the most part, a coil is a coil. The resistance at the coil is what makes it 6,12 or 24. 3 Ohms resistance and you have a 24V coil. If yours is hot, pull it out and shake it. If you hear and feel sloshing around, then it is bad. good coils don't have the oil sloshing around.

Accelerator pump in the carb, gummed up carb or just the wonderful 10% ethenal fuel we are forced to run? Yes, the coil could be failiing. When it starts to run bad, feel the coil. If it is just about too hot to touch, that is your problem.

Not trying to be picky, but this needs to be written. A SF-97 (Standard Form number 97) is not a title. It is a Federal government form saying they were the original owners of a never titled vehicle. A SF-97 is not transferrable to another person. The person who's name is on the SF-97 has to...

Add Boxcar with a M35A2 and 2 kids to your list. He will be coming out of Bastrop and joining up with me near Manhiem for a Friday evening arrival.

Several things have to be written in the proper order here. Hopefully I can do that. All the CUCV's with the NP208 tcase had the same speedometer gears inside when they left the factory. The M1009 being the odd geared truck, got the cable reduction box added on externally. The reduction box...

An extra leaf spring was added to make it a "3/4" ton. Same axles as the K5. Just find parts for a 1985 K5 and they will match.

Fast answer is one that has been used as a daily driver for at least 3 or 4 months. That is about how long it takes all the kinks to work themselves out of a 25 year old truck that probably sat more than ran for most of those years. Long answer is that just about everything electrical on the...

Over 65 seems to get most people 17 mpg or so. 60-65 20 mpg. The M1009 has the most road friendly gearing of just about any military vehicle ever used. It also has just about the best braking system of any military vehicle. Can one do 70 mph safely concerning the engine? Yes. Can it...

"official" what? You lost me on that one.

Does the dual range give you anything other than 1:1 in high? Plug your numbers into a site like this: Randy's Ring & Pinion. RPM Calculator. If your truck is still stock electrically, then the STE/ICE tester will give you a rpm reading. Using pulse sensors in conjunction with an aftermarket...

They have 2003-2007, David Doyle standard catalog and 2008-2009 all listed out in the first two pages of this: CDs/DVDs - OldCarsBookStore.com

Should be right at 2000 or so: 4Lo.com :: Final Gear Ratio, Crawl Ratio, Tire Size Calculators

I didn't remember the dates of the dvd. Just that I spent hour and hours looking through it. Thanks for the correct ones.
