Super helpful we have dozens of these trucks on the farm so this information is excellent

Nice one man ,you helped me out your cool dood😊

Wow Garrett ! Dam that's a bit of knowledge, IM scratching my head 🧐from remembering from some times when I had helped with some engine repairs and others rebuilding some. I'm keeping up with your in depth information. I mean I did follow along a bit but so much to learn about. you are a gold mine when it comes to these vehicle's. one day I hope you will be back in the states with your own business & shop again but I understand it takes time to do what you got to do for now. Hey G-man I did something stupid, I wasn't thinking and had my Park brake on and moved my truck about 30 yards and got out & smelled the drum brake, could I have messed anything up? it seams to still be working, may I have weakened anything? Take care we are always thinking about you over there. Your missed and glad to see your smiling face now and then. take care Pard.- from Appalachia by God.🤠

I have overheating issue I thing this what I missing thank you man

Great to see you posting again, Gareth. You sound like you are in a better head space than you were a while ago.🫡👍👍 Question reference the version of the engine in M543A2: we appear to have blown out the frost plug on the back end of our forward head as she's leaking a lot of water when we run it (never more than 5 or so minutes as we run tests). We got the valve cover off and swept a hacksaw blade through the gap between the two heads and there is something right about where the frost plug should be. We'll be pulling off the rockers and the injectors so we can pull that head. We've got a brand new late pattern head gasket, intake and exhaust gasket, and a valve cover gasket. Will a commercially available frost plug fit or is the darn thing sone weird size that I have to order online? Related question, do I need to put anything on the new head gasket when we reinstall the head? Cheers from the rapidly cooling Great White North!😁🍺🍺🍁

Umm that's interesting to use a weaker acid like vinegar to dilute the sulfuric acid in the case of an accident 🤔🧐🤔 Maybe using water would be better, or can make a wash of baking soda and water 💦 🌊 Anyways if that's all you got in a bad situation, it would be better than pouring sulfuric acid on 😳 😱 Anyways thanks for the upload ☺️👍

Good ideas! Do you think it is nessesary to plan the heads? I've done my head gaskets 3 years ago and now I have a little bit of oil coming down the block underneath the heads in the passenger side.

Would re torqing my heads posibly extend head gasket life?

Would putting a marine 5.9 cummins in be a good idea? If i smoke the motor im cummins swapping it. I like the mutifuel, but getting parts over the counter is preferable.

Nice girl !

We're they eyeballing you 😅?

Would eliminating the 20 seconds of no oil pressure help with connecting rod failure? I put a primer pump on mine so it has a little oressure before the engine starts and then the pressure comes up right away after it fires up.

Glad to see you back. Once we get finished setting up at the new place I cannot wait to start upgrading my duece. All goes well I'll have some info I can pass around after I really get into it. Going to need the big boy to do lots of work soon; these kinds of upgrades will be close to the top.

What’s the ARP head stud part numbers? I know there’s 3 lengths of studs in the heads but I never got anywhere with my research into it.

You will have to acquire the "read any language as long as it is on a ration" skillbook on your adventures. I assume you are there as a contractor for mil vehicle maintenance, since you are stuck there for a bit, doing the exploring Korea videos might be interesting. I at least have been enjoying them, was mil for many years but managed to avoid Korea.

You need to get your butt back stateside. Really miss your content.

Good to hear from you

MDS also sucks

Great info thank you

The groove o matic is awesome! I made something similar to oring the block on my old 7 seconf Eagle Talon. I've had amazing luck with these motors but I did the brokey cranky thing on the last one. Pretty sure it was from going from 10mph to zero instantly and the entire drivetrain stopping but who knows. They didn't radius the edges when they ground it for the rebuild so it could have been a stress riser too. Tempting to forge that damn crank into a giant dildo sharpener or something awful to shame it for the nightmare it put me through! Maybe some kind of freaky anvil so I can beat on it for eternity. lol! Balancer looked ok. I still have most of a motor in AZ if anyone needs it. I'm trying not to scrap it but sick of tripping on it too. I was excited to have the LDS there for a bit and wanted to put a different turbo on it but it went to a good home. Looks like mine is actually getting a ve pumped 6bt and the FSO6406a though. I just have to figure out how to get it out of a diesel pusher with the cradle thing. I spent all day degreasing, pressure washing and head scratching, and rebuilding the pressure washer...again... I'm hoping to go grab the sae flywheel adapter and clutch stuff this week. I may end up with an extra FS5106 if all works out, and still have everything to bolt one to a LDT/LDS so if anyone wants to get crazy drivetrain swapping, check the classifieds at steelsoldiers. I'm in the band for fecesbook groups again. :(

🤔Before I bought my 1953 REO with the 331 gasser... I test drove a few of the MF units.. Wasn't much of fan the engine, and I didn't know about any of these "known" issues😮Glad I went with the gas unit now😎obsolescence I can handle, having all those issues would be a no go for ME on top of the obsolete technology😉

Garrett, I am installing the Jatonka spin-on oil filter conversion. What convinced me is the video showing the 9+ second delay before oil pressure comes up on the gauge versus 3 seconds with the spin-on filters. I would imagine that hundreds of starts with zero oil pressure for 10 seconds each time has to accelerate wear on bearings. It is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that I believe is worth it. Just my humble novice opinion. Thank you for the videos, they are quite valuable to those of us who are becoming familiar with deuces. I hope things in your life have taken a turn for the better. - Chris

I have a new old stock engine in my m54a2... Only drive it 8 times a year for a 50mile round trip drive. I hope it lasts another 50 years.

Good ideas, new to the multi fuels myself, but not new to big diesels. I recently bought a deuce, between your videos, and bits from the steel soldiers forums, has been a learning experience... Appreciate the deuce specific maintenance videos, have saved me from some mistakes...

I'm planning on doing a Disck Break swap on my m35a2 My question was, if I do Swap over to disk Brakes. Knowing originally I have to use dot five With the old system. Knowing the new brakes are coming off of a F350 Dully and a lincoln continental break line Would it be feasible to stay with dot 5 or can I go Lower. Just want to know your Opinion is. Thanks.

Hey Brother, I hope alls well!!!!!

Good to hear from you, thanks for the good info!

Welcome back

I just checked to see if you shot anymore videos lol. You are absolutely correct over 30 countries won't allow junk U.S. food in their country! No doubt you are eating healthier over there!

That's a funny thing. Thanks for posting mate, from 🇦🇺. Who would have thought, something so simple. Then again, why wouldn't the lost its the bolts on the assembly line. Thanks again.

i change the tank.... solved ....lol...

Without the multifuel it just ain't a M35A2.

You are going far beyond what is necessary to clean for this procedure. You can also use cork instead of silicone, and it lasts longer. Cork is the original material used.

Not standard issued one. Manufacturer of ROK MRE made some commercial version and you had it. Actual one includes more things like a little pack of chocolate ball, a pound cake, and one more side meal.

Welcome Back. Good info.

Happy to see your doing well.

Good to hear from you

You need a wide lens camera.

The plate came off my electric pump. It 100% would not start with out it on. Got the plate back on. Fired right up. (After days of troubleshooting)

I have an M35A2 ....and also a SUZUKI CAPPUCCINO....3 cylinder turbo RWD 😂🤙

1989 Laredo was perfect, but was being stupid and doing burnouts and now every gear is forward 😅

Thank you sir

I just watched your video, I found it extremely hopeful, specially the trick with sealing the tab, I cannot believe how easily that seal tab shared off. Please keep the M35A2 videos coming. Thank you.

Would aluma weld rods work for it

Good and clear thanks.

Just curious as to if the CTIS on equipped trailers is separate from the truck system, or can the trailer ones be operated from controller in the truck through the 12 pin?
