Put some gasoline on a rag and hold it over the intake. Hold it tight so it doesn’t get sucked in.

There’s still some good deals out there but please remember….was running when parked means it’s not running now and make sure the engine is cold and the truck isn’t running when you show up to look at one. Have the seller start it after you arrive without starting fluid.

Just buy a standard grease gun. It should work on everything on your truck.

Dang..didn’t notice the different centers on that first rim. I’d just put combats or LMTVS on the front. You just can’t turn quite as sharp as with the Hemitts

Looks like an LMTV rim and probably only has bud style on one side. Combat rims have 10 bolts, LMTVs have 20 and I believe Hemitts have 17.

That box is your failsafe box. The flasher box should be on the firewall up above your left foot area.

That order is correct on the switches. If the yellow lever is down the truck is in high. If the lever is all the way up it’s in low and should also be in 6x6. If you want 6x6 in high you have to flip the switch under the lights to “in”. Very important!!! Absolutely do not use reverse if...

Take a good look at the starting and shutting off sequence on your switches also. If done in the wrong sequence you can fry your PCB box.

The lever on the floor also engages the 6x6 when pulled up and put in low unless your truck has been modified in some way.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m35a2-parking-brake.162866/ This older thread should have a lot of advice on the whole rebuild.

The fuel lever should move easily and freely. Take it apart and clean it till it snaps back and forth easily. The two screws holding it with wire might be too tight or it’s gummed up inside. If the truck started easily but won’t start now you probably lost the button under the hydraulic...

Is the cable moving freely. We had one a while back that had rusted up and just need some WD-40 sprayed in.

A disfunctional parking brake is exactly how diesels start when left in gear. Please use wheel chocks until it’s fixed.

I think your going to be very surprised at how good that deuce does in the sand. Around here we buy deuces and 5 tons specially for the sand and rarely get stuck unless we’re towing something really heavy. Like 98G says..if you start getting stuck immediately stop and air down. I run my 5 ton...

Sounds like a great time to get to know your truck and get your hands dirty. There’s nothing better than the feeling of doing the work yourself and the sense of relief know that if something goes wrong you understand the system/truck and know what to do. Saves a lot of money too!!

Finally someone points out where it’s at!!!! I’m deleting mine. It drives me crazy.

I’m sure you have already checked this but how dirty is your air filter?

I need an electric fuel pump on my five ton. Please please send us pictures so we can all get one😂

What kind of tires are those on the front??

How old are the batteries?
