And the wreck didn't involve the m35. It was an 80s F250 in case you all were wondering.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
From post #1 of this thread;The reason I was asking about the year and model is if this is a dual brake system deuce it would have the front brake booster on that side where it's leaking. Old DOT 5 brake fluid is amber in color and when spilled on concrete it can look like water.
Yes, single brakes according to my research. And the puddle is still there.From post #1 of this thread;
[h=1]Front Axle Engagement[/h] Hello all, I have a 1980 M35A2C
So no dual brake circut there.
Have you checked all the fluids to see if any are low ?Yes, single brakes according to my research. And the puddle is still there.
So You have not ever looked under the truck seeking fluid or air leaks or have actually seen the air Pak(s) ?Yes, single brakes according to my research. ~ ~
Yes, only one air pack. I take it the dual circuit brakes have two? I also read dual circuit trucks have an extra light or something on the dash. I have a peice of cardboard under it so when I go check it today I'll see if anything changed.So You have not ever looked under the truck seeking fluid or air leaks or have actually seen the air Pak(s) ?
Interesting. It is sitting on a cement driveway.
Get a creeper and a flashlight and go look at it all.
Yes absolutely. I have an emergency pack of things I take along on all trips. Jury is still out if I want to risk it or not. I certainly don't want to damage anything.Well if you do decide to take it , I would recommend taking spare fuel filters.

Alright thank you! That will be the next place I check.It looks to have coolant dried up on the rear of the head in the picture.
Head gasket maybe,
Each head has a small freeze plug front and back.
The intake manifold is water-jacketed as well. Small hoses and gaskets to check there.
Unless there is classic, complete head gasket failure (oil pouring out, compression leak, milk coffee coolant) I would recommend to do a cold re-torque of the head nuts first, then to run it and re-evaluate. Torque values have changed over the years, no guarantee it was torqued correctly in the first place and it can be surprising to see how much looser the nuts get after endless heating/cooling cycles.I am starting to fear that it is a head gasket. Maybe a freeze plug, would be great if it was but is not looking promising.
