Are you doing the glass only on the vent window or the entire frame? Glass only is pretty easy. The entire frame is easy too if the screws actually come out and aren't stripped.

Did you actually put power to the pins on the gauge cluster and see the light come on? The cluster in the post by Warthog about repair ended up in my truck. I had to pull it to mess with the speedometer. I put it back and some of the lights didn't work. I pulled it again and went through each...

Keep your fingers and thumbs out of the steering wheel when you do this. The front axle engages when the rear tire achieve a 6% spin. Then, presto chango, the front tires are spinning. If the wheel is turned, one tires gets good traction or something like that. Then the steering wheel will...

If a simple look doesn't find anything. Try picking the truck up by the frame and see what the extended leaf springs look like. I had a busted rear leaf spring hanger on the 715 that would make a noise I couldn't figure out until I picked it up and the axle stayed on the ground. Are your...

The stock units are 27SI sized.

They are out of business and selling.

I thought we were still tag teaming this? You posted, I saw it and did the next step. I figured you would have posted the other manual that used to be on the Delco site.

I have driving examples of both. The Gasser is great for parades and working around the place. No noise, smooth and with a 400 rpm idle will crawl super slow. It will top out around 65-70 mph on flat ground. 4.5-5 mpg is what I get. Hot starts are a pain. Parts are out there and really...

What year is your truck and does it have the really old water cooled air compressor? This a huge long shot, but worth asking. Do you have a water coolant heater? Those heater cases will hold a lot of coolant before you can see any leaks. Not 2 gallons though. Most radiator shops will have...

Exactly. The G-742 trucks which are the M34, M35, etc.. started with Timken top loading axles. Rockwell bought out Timken and with just a few changes inside, made them for the next 40 years the same. All 3 of mine still have the Timken tags on them. The G-749? M135, M211 trucks had GM axles...

M35 shackles and pins fit just fine. I put a pair on the rear of my M1009 to tie it down to the trailer. I haven't removed them yet since. Only one of us would notice they are wrong anyway.

The -10 tells you which light lights up when during the start process. Then, the huge electrical troubleshooting section in the -20 takes you through how to make each light come on for test purposes.

Lets see if this works?

Get the special ball joint adjusting socket too! Read the -20 and you will find that the upper ball joints are adjustable on both the M1009 and the K5 civi blazer. The book actually talks you through adjusting the ball joint. Only if you can't adjust anymore does it say to replace them. To...

I pulled mine from the '52 Gasser M35 apart because it had been sitting for about 20 years and would barely move. That is how I know the ears break off real easy. Both of mine did. Flux cored aluminum rod and a torch fixed it just fine. I should have just bought a new one since I spent about...

Thanks, that is what you were looking for, right?

Be very careful pushing that pin out. The cast pedal ears will break off if you look at them wrong. At least that has been my experience. I agree with the above. Get the pedal unhooked from the linkage and verify that it is the problem. You will need a helper to get the two hold down bolts...

Here is how a 1952 b/o stop light was. I put regular lights on both sides so I can have blinkers. That means my lenses are not correct. Bucket placement, mounts and such are.

He is saying that your mechanic is trying to bs money out of you. As proven in a few post above. A TH400 does have a sprag in it. You can't tell it is bad by looking at the outside though. Only by tearing it apart and maybe driving it and connecting the problem with a specific part. Not by...

One more thing to add. The multifuel engine loves to be used. Just idling or driving around town for a while will make it start to get mad and leak, stumble, slobber, run bad, etc... I think one of the manuals or maybe the ps cartoon even has "load truck to maximum GVW and drive 100 miles, see...
