Yeah, I have an ether injector kit on my M54A2 and I have seen several on
M35A2's. I have figured out where the activation button is yet on my truck,
and I suspect it is under the hood. If you really want one on your truck
you can buy them commercially.

My '87 Amtran Army bus has one that works great from a button on the dash.
It has an alcohol injector system for the air brakes, too, to keep any water
in the air brake system from freezing. Both of these extreme cold weather
systems came installed from the manufacturer. The bus spent it's service
life in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks, where it can and does occasionally get
down to 70 degrees at night.

Well, I thought you guys would appreciate a little deuce trivia.
I found the leak I've been whining about - There had been oil /fuel
dribbling out both intake manifold gaskets to head...
turns out preheater fuel valve was leaking raw fuel into intake, getting
sooted up on its way out. Apparently not uncommon.

I've heard there's an upgrade/replacement ether injector kit
for the deuce. Anyone heard of it/seen it?
