A project I meant to do last year, but ran out of time before my Idaho trip (then subsequently put off) was to install pyrometer (Exhaust Gas Temperature, EGT) and boost gauges. I ordered from www.DieselManor.com the following:
R-12021 - ISSPRO EV2 Pyrometer 1600F Black, white illumination...
I've had a slipping belt on the original alternator, when I ran it at full load (~50+ Amps). Removing my 12V alternator to get both belts back in stock configuration on the 24V alternator resolved the belt slipping for me...
My brother (member MidKnightBomber with 14 years experience using Solid Works professionally for work) and I sat down today and took a stab at trying to make this bracket fully functional, but as simple and cost effective as possible to machine.
Since neither him nor I have this part in person...
Hey, those both look like equally good options!
I'm just going to attach pictures and links here since Amazon links are allowed :)

I came here to write mostly what Porkysplace said regarding brakes as your #1 concern followed by fuel. Beyond what he already covered, personally, my only other main concern to get it home would be wheel bearings. Do they have enough grease? Any grease?
I would be surprised if every single...
On my M35A2 I put those rubber bump stops on the bumperetts so they wouldn't interfere or rub on the cargo cover. I *REALLY* like having them. They are one of my favorite practical mods. (I believe they're also used as rear cab supports.)...
I finished the LED tail light conversion. Minor wire repairs were needed (a plug had been ripped off and the bare wires were twisted together) and I added another ground wire for the right-side LED lights.
As I've stated before, the goal is for it to have both the military 12-pin and...
I was under the impression that the power bleeder was to be connected directly to the top of the master cylinder via a barbed nipple, bypassing the reservoirs, but the M35A3 is a bit different than the M35A2 in that regard as I had to add my own reservoir. This is why I don't care to use a power...
Yes, the air pack does have to be bled, and should be the first (while someone is applying the brakes). After that, you can bleed the brakes like you do all of your other vehicles, using two people just as you described. Start at the wheel cylinder farthest from the master cylinder, and then the...
I am hesitant to post this large wall of text, as I have no intent or interest in creating a discussion about auto insurance (I have that well in hand). However, I did still want to share it as it is part of the experience of owning this truck.

Does a Premium SteelSoldiers membership remove the banners and advertising on the site, or do certain ads remain regardless? I'm not referring to the Classifieds.
The "Upgrade" section is short on information. It only says:

Very cool Rusty!! I want one now ;P
It sounds like it will freeze water, or does it need to already be frozen? (no, I haven't read the whole manual yet)
According to the Operations manual, its Payload volume is 2 cubic feet, or 56.6 liters.

They are NOT "split rims" or "widow makers". They are wheels with an exterior locking ring, or "lock ring wheels" for short. Exterior lock ring wheels are quite common on trucks and trailers from that era (M37's, M35A2's, M105's, even civilian trucks from that time period too). Tire shops that...
.... great. Do I dare ask?
Well, there's only one of me, you 2 still want in? You can have the lower bunks, and it'd be 17% cheaper for each of you now. :roll:
