Yes, those 12 I think nuts are all that hold the drum on. You really should look through the -20 for the M44 series trucks. It takes you through the brake inspection process and hub removal with pictures and everything. One important reminder is this. The bearins on a M35 are supposed to be...

Compared to a modern turbo diesel 1 ton truck. The M35 is pretty slow and under powered on the open road. That might be what you read about. I have flat towed other M35's for hundreds of miles. Sure, you know they are there and a good hill will slow you down. But, they will still pull...

If you are looking for short term fixes because a rebuild is probably in the cards. Try adding Trans X if you need to add some fluid. I had that stuff get me 150 miles home one time years ago when I picked up a truck with a TH350. Reverse worked and drive got the truck to rocking forward, but...

You only need a 9/16 to pull drum off once the tires are removed. However, I doubt the drum will come off once the nuts are all removed. It will be stuck to the hub. OTC part number 1911 is the socket you need to pull the hub off. Which is the better way to go. You get to check your gear...

Sorry, front open and rear with the Gov Loc limited slip. 3.08:1 ratio

10 bolt front and rear.

Do the Ohm check of each plug. Also remember that the glow plugs are not a permanent installment. They were made to be replaced every few years even if they check out ok. Just for kicks, put a volt meter on the pink wire to the IP. Verify that voltage is there and stays there while you are...

You are correct. The vacuum just has to do with shifting. The transmission should still move the truck in forward and reverse. If I am reading this correctly. You drove the truck, pulled the modulator, put a new one in and now the truck won't go forward. Nothing else was done at the same...

The die is a great way fo finding fuel leaks. However, he seems to maybe have an air leak in his fuel lines. Not the same thing. Air molecules are smaller than fuel molecules. That means air will fit through a small hole that diesel won't. Since the line from the lift pump back to the tank...

Another month and more stuff done. Rebuilt starter, new rear battery, new battery cables, rebuilt speedometer so it actaully shows how fast I am going and doesn't bounce anymore. Cleaned up all the connections on the gauge panel so all the lights actually work now. Fixed the fuel sender wire...

Yep, just get any 3/8" bolt and weld a nut on it. Or put a pair of nuts on it to jamb against each other. Then stick the head of the bolt in the plug and put a wrench on the nut to remove.

Start with the adjustment. It might be a good idea to pull the linkage all the way off. That way you can cycle the transmission through the gears and put it all the way in park where the detent centers it in park. Get out from under the truck and try pushing it. If it works like it should...

Nice pictures. Where were you?

The flywheel on automatic transmission engines are called flex plates. Because they do flex. I replied a few post up a week or so ago to check the vacuum line for the transmission. I had zip tied mine to the filler tube because for the last 3 months every now and then. I would get a metalic...

Head gasket? Pull your radiator cap while the engine is running. Does it seem to have pressure coming out with the coolant cold? Are you using coolant? White smoke after start up is normally a sign of coolant in the combustion chamber. Of course, a real bad one will leave a white cloud...

The truck is a 12V Chevy except for the starting system, glow plug power supply and slave system (jump start). The 12V part of the truck has to tell the 24V starting system to start when you turn the key. There is a relay under the dash that closes on the 24V side when the 12V from the...

No it doesn't make sense. However, all true design military vehicles such as the M35, M37, etc... Have wierd things happen if a ground is not good. Take the 4 bulb bucket tail lights on your 101. If you unplug all but one light power wire. Then undo the ground bolts at the back. Chances are a...

Prices are hard to say because each of us is willing to spend a different amount for something. Based on my experiences and those of others here that have been written about. Expect to do the following: Rebuild or replace at least one alternator Glow plugs will need replaced Maybe glow...

If you look real close at the rubber on the plug, you will see little letters next to the pins. Here is what the pins do: A=wire 24 B=wire 22/460 C= wire 24 D=wire 90 ground E=wire 21 F=wire 23 J=wire 22/461 Here is a listing of what the wire numbers mean: M-SERIES VEHICLES CIRCUIT NUMBERS

Remove any of your battery terminals. Put an amp meter in to complete the circuit with everything turned off. If you are showing anything besides 0, then something is still on. I would start by unplugging the white plug on the side of an alternator. Once the plug is off look at your meter...
