    Multifuel valve adjustment hot or cold?

    TM9-2320-209-34-2-1 shows the adjustment procedure but does not say anything about engine temp. Since it's part of a sequence after repairing the head, I'm guessing it's done cold. Any thoughts? Thanks Lance

    Parting out an M353 3-1/2 ton generator trailer

    A while back I bought an M353 generator trailer to get the XLs off it for one of my M105s. The tail lights are spoken for, too. The front leveling legs with the wheels under them are missing. The air tank is badly dented. The rest of it is there. In the next few days I'll be pulling the...

    Chattering starter solinoid

    My M1008, which has been used several times a week and had been an easy starting truck, has had some starting issues lately. Previous to this it started up with no issues and cold weather wasn't an issue. About 3 weeks ago, the start relay died and was replaced with a spare OEM relay. Last...

    Has anyone used an M809 series front axle for a rear steering axle under a bobbed M809 truck? I'm tinkering with the idea of sticking one under the rear and am looking for info or input on axle capacity and spring options. Does anyone know if the rated capacity of the axle is due to inherent...

    Front locking hub service info needed

    Geez, I'm looking in both the -20 and the -34 for info on servicing the locking hubs for M1008s and M1009s. Either I'm denser than usual or it's not there. Can someone please throw an old dog a bone and point me in the right direction? Thanks Lance

    Holy jumping shift lever, Batman!!

    Riddle me this, Batman.... I've got an M35A2 with a condition that concerns me. When the clutch is let out in a forward gear, the shift lever jumps to the right about 3/4 to 7/8". It does it the same whether it's in high or low transfer and in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. I didn't check 4th or...

    M818 frame dimension needed

    Can someone who has access to an M818 please measure the length of the frame behind the tool box and spare to the end of the frame? Also, the rough distance from the Tool box and Spare to the front axle center line. It would help me to plan for a possible M818 bob job. Thanks Lance

    Bobbing an M818

    I've been mulling over the possibility of bobbing a 5 ton and mounting a, M105 bed or shortened standard cargo bed on it. Has anyone done it? A search of the current forum comes up dry. Searching on the "old" site only comes up with no results at all. Any info or thread links would be...

    Multifuel valve adjustment TM?

    OK, I've searched for the TM number for this and come up empty. Can anyone please point me to the correct TM for the procedure? My M35A2C has never been a perky as my other deuces and has a fair amount of discharge from the road draft hose. I'm hoping a valve adjustment will help. The engine...

    Grooving and siping 11.00R20 XLs?

    One of my deuces has singled 11.00R20 XLs on it and it's M105A2 trailer. The hubs are flipped. Since the truck does get use on snowy and icy roads and off road on the farm and in the woodlots, I am thinking of grooving and siping them. Any thoughts? How deep of a groove? One groove and two...

    CUCV 4x4 question

    During the Rausch Creek trip my M1008 got "high centered" on a rock at the rear differential. It had both rear tires off the ground and both front tires firmly on the ground. The transfer was in "4 low" with the front hubs locked. The front wheels would not turn to pull it off. The rears...

    frequent log-ins needed

    I'm guessing that this is the right place to ask this: After singing in my sign-in times out after only a few minutes. Just a few minutes ago I posted a reply and a few moments later I had to sign back in. This happens a dozen times a day (if I'm around the computer) I don't believe it to be...

    Is TB 43-0209 Color, Marking and Painting available online?

    I'm looking for a digital copy of the TB to get paint pattern and marking info on M35s, CUCVs and M105 and M101 trailers. I'd also like to paint an S-280 to match my 35A2C's body and cargo cover so it looks "right" when in the truck. Thanks Lance
