There was a set on E-bay about a month ago Tom. I didn't buy them at $25 and have been kicking myself ever since. If you find a source, please share since I need them as well. Oh, on the side removal, they really don't weigh all that much more than a tailgate. Just hard to handle because...

The air is easy. Remove the solenoid and start up the truck. Air should be coming out of the solenoid hole. If it does, the you can pretty much be sure the truck air psi is the same as what is at your horn. (Drain the tanks before you pull the solenoid!) Electrical wise there are two wires...

RE: Re: RE: Wiring help!? The starter solenoid is just a remote solenoid that is activated by your foot. It is bolted to the starter, but if you really wanted to, you could find a 24V solenoid to replace it with that is switch or button activated. Think farm tractor for a possible source...

Wheel Cylinder cover maybe, but that is all I can see that doesn't look pretty good for a used set of brakes. That wheel cylinder piston looks to be in great shape.

I have never seen any Navy marked up M715's I don't think. Haven't seen any Air Force Blue ones either for that matter. Most of us are either an Army color or USMC Green when the paint is done spraying. That being said, I do remember a few conversations about Navy trucks. Just can't remember...

Thanks for the information about the heaters David. Here is a shot taken today of my running OA331. Not much different than the other picture above, but at least it is a little cleaner.

RE: Re: chopped Looks good Tom. Does the Lamgorgini figure into the dump conversion?

There is a hatch in the cab floor between the drivers seat and the pedals. Open it up and look down. The brake master cylinder is down there. The cap is a screw in pipe fitting looking thing. It should have a hole on the top/side for a 3/16 sized or so vent line.

I believe you are right about the engine mounted thingy. It was part of some rigged up heater system. Below is a picture of may parts truck engine all stock. I can't find a good picture of my running Gasser. I would suggest the loose line underneath goes to the brake master cylinder cap.

RE: Problem? I agree. The spindle surface between the bearings is not machined smooth when built. My M715 spindles are the same. They are so rough you can't run a rag over it without a hand full of lent being left on the rough spindle surface. Or am I missing something in the pictures?

My son Colton who will be 9 next week almost ran me over when he was 3. I was sitting on a roll around shop stool in front of my Mini. He was wanting to "help" me work on it. I was redoing the clutch slave cylinder and needed to set the throw out bearing clearance with the engine running. I...

Once you drive one around and spend a few months here, you will figure out what parts are most likely to cause you trouble on a trip. Preventative maintenance is the key though. Fluids, lubricants, brakes, hoses and tires. Take care of them at home and not much is left to fail on the road...

According to my manuals, the 9.00 tired trucks should have a toe-in of 1/16"-3/16". The 11.00 tired trucks are supposed to be 1/16"-1/8". Modern computerized alignment machines think in degrees more than inches. The degree measurement will be the same no matter what the tire size. So, if you...

Don't use the flex hose. I had a brand new NAPA one fail with a little over a year of use and about 6K miles. I had it on the upper radiator to engine location. It failed at one of the outter folds. Once I got it off, I was able to pull several of the outter folds apart with just my fingers.

Yeah, I was looking at that video the other day trying to see if the intake was braced off the windshield frame or gun mount.

Anybody have any info on how they hooked up or looked like? I have all 5 of the 6 TM's that apply to the Gasser M35's. Yet, I can not find a single picture or drawing of what the Gasser fording intake tube looked like or how it mounted to the truck. Same goes for the exhaust pipe extension...

RE: Re: RE: towbar mounting kit w/towbar I am also interested in your mount set up and how you made it. Thanks

You would be better off buying a new trailer wire from one of the usual suspects for around $20.00.

"Death Wobble" is normally associated with solid front axle smaller vehicles like a baby Jeep or p/u truck. But, the result is the same. You will be driving along just fine until you reach or specific speed or hit a bump in a turn. Then the steering wheel will start going back and forth, the...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Axle Breather Valves Sailer The fording kit for most military vehicles uses engine blow by to pressurize the engine/transmission/t-case and axles. The axle/transmission/t-case vent lines all go to the air filter housing area depending on the vehicle and tie into the engine...
