    M135 Engine Power Issue

    You could run your choke out a little when accelerating engine in park and it should rev up. You could at least do that and see if there is a change. Also the accelerator pump wouldn't cause you to not get above 30mph over a long stretch in the interstate I wouldn't think. That's my two cents...

    M135 Engine Power Issue

    Mine had something wrong with the Huey Duey, you know part # AM in the figure. Also ended up replacing RR. The resistor ohm-ed out exactly the same as the old one. The truck would start but step on the gas and it would die like a fuel issue. Was maddening. This distributor has more crap, I mean...

    G749 Parts List

    Okay so figured out the air compressor regulator hose assembly. The regulator side is a usdot jounce fitting Parker pn 66rbsv-6-3/4 firewall fitting on the hose is a Parker pn 68rb-6-4 and the usdot rated hose is 271-6-rl these are not crimp style fittings-they tried to manufacture with crimp...

    Those seats look nice. I take it you're not house broke and therefore forced to seat on the driver seat while watching TV ��?? I'm sure OD is just around the corner

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    So just had a quick question about rims. Why are some of these galvanized and some aren't. This particular one referenced the face has rust but the back side and most of it, including the locking ring is galvanized. At first I speculated that it was a Canadian manufactured truck thing, as these...

    You know that old expression, how does it go??? Oh yeah head for the hills!!! These old trucks can't drive quick enough for me when its time to leave behind people and civilization. The peace + quiet and solitude are something I treasure. Oh yes and the view of the mtns. These are the crazy...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    I would suspect that you are correct. My wife was out brushing her horses and asked what I thought and I said I was thinking it would be good if the g749 had a stack that was correct and similiar to the m35. I don't was the answer she was looking for as she said -no what do you think about he...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    I went out and checked it again last night and it was werid-the voltage would spike to 12v then drop down to 8.5v. I'd take the probe off and retouch it and it would do the same thing-12v then drop to 8.5v. Testing capacitors set to ohms and reversing the leads will do the same thing. Maybe it...

    Plowboy would you have any pictures of how they piped it in? I don't have a heater in mine....I just roll down the window and try to not to breathe in the cab to keep from fogging the windows up. Got a few questions to ask the g749 gurus-I had really weak spark after that last cold snap-enough...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    I can probably sneak in there with a caliper and measure them. They are pretty small, which might explain why they've used a re-circ type heater. My grandpa was always against them cause he felt somehow they pressurized and ruined the water pump seals. I'm not too sure that's true as the...

    Block heaters Well last night we had some cold come in(colder than what we've already had) and the 211 decided it was thinking of Hawaii and tropical weather. It was in vacation and not really wanting to start. I'm not to crazy at starting it without A block heater when it's cold anyways. So...
