this is my project for this weekend...fingers crossed I get the hose routing correct.

UPS was delayed. Originally, my filters were scheduled to be delivered yesterday. I had planned on changing the filters this morning and then taking it in for the oil change this afternoon. Since UPS had a delay, I went ahead and did the oil today and will do the filters when they arrive...

Today I went to a local diesel shop and had them drain/refill the oil in the truck. Tomorrow my new oil filters, coolant filters, and coolant filter mount should arrive (assuming UPS is on the ball). Unfortunately UPS delivers to my area between 6-8pm so I'll have to wait until next week to...

I just placed an order for a coolant filter base, 2 coolant filters, and 2 oil filters. My next days off are going to be M35A2 maintenance days....no better way to enjoy some days off.

lol yup I shared it on the FB group and recognized his profile picture as soon as he replied. He is a pretty cool dude.

when you do your greasing, do you just do a few squirts per zerk or do you fully push out all the old grease? I do a mix of both depending on I feel that day

I vote tear it apart and learn about all the internals as you go. then keep what you want, sell what you want, and scrap anything damaged.

oh man I agree 100%. My truck is an A2 with the stack. After riding in a truck with the rear dump I wish mine was rear dump instead.

If you were given a blank check to either purchase or, if the truck no longer exists, build a replica of any variant of the M44 series of trucks, which variant would you pick? Post pics of your choice. At first I thought a Vietnam era gun-truck was tempting, but in the end I would pick an...

nice truck! I LOVE how the rear/side dump exhaust looks when under load.

are you going to post a video of it running? I LOVE that LDS sound

This morning I was looking for cool M35 videos on youtube...because work is dead. I found this cool video of a 465LDT running with only one head installed. I have seen other videos of other engines doing this...but this is the first time seeing one of our engines. It's pretty wild to see the...

green trucks are faster, too...because science!

I burned a holiday on my "friday" (weds) and spent the day enjoying a truck work day. I replaced all the fuel filters (I'm still recovering from an algae bloom in my fuel tank), flushed/bled the brake system, and gave it a quick rinse to clean off all the west texas dirt. Everything went...

Yesterday I popped the new battery into the my truck so I could circulate the anti-alage I put in the fuel tank a few weeks back. During the install process I pinched a battery cable....ugh. I did a temporary repair so I could crank the truck (without starting a fire) & circulate the anti-algae...

I bought a new battery monday...$200 from my OReillys in Lubbock, TX. I thought about going with group 31s but in the end I really wanted to keep it as original as I can...so I saved some extra pennies and ordered a new 6tl. the counter guy was telling me about another local deuce owner who is...

my days off have been approved so if all goes well I am planning on being there. I'm going to bring my 4x4 truck instead of my MV. The wife is preggo and can't handle riding in the M35A2 from Lubbock to central texas and back again.

awesome! thanks!
