    Winter storage ,keep the critters out of the cab.

    I just use LOTS of moth balls in everything I care about. They always work. I store a lot of canvas and can't afford to have it ruined. I spread 2 boxes twice a year in my canvas bus. Just my humble opinion. JT out

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    Actually, it is a fiber gasket. It is the correct gasket for the Multifuel filter base. My instruction sheet advises the customer to retorque the hex nipple to 60 Ft. Lbs at the next filter change. That takes care of any torque relief due to the adaptor settling in to the gasket..... The...

    Why Doesn't My M35A2 Horn Work ?

    Try to buy the upgraded horn button kit. It has a sealed horn button that fits in a spacer that you just screw in place of the old larger multi part horn button kit. Check all the dealers, someone should have one for you,. JT out

    I'm really glad to see some of you are actually moving the axle back a little and lengthing the driveshaft.

    55mph detonation post mortum. . .

    Recovery4x4 has this one covered, just get ahold of Tom Bauer at M35tom on this site and buy his correct head gaskets. Then you need to buy a cheap engine gasket set to get rest of the gaskets needed to do a head job. Don't forget to get your heads planed while you have them off. They are never...
