Top SPEED Of A M35A2 In 6x6????

[frank8003]

Hey Guys,
What is the Top Speed for a 1967 M35A2 with 6x6 Engage (WITH AIR SHIFT SWITCH FOR TRANSFER CASE ON) And what are some thing to not do in 6X6. For example don't drive on the highway on a clear sunny day doing 65mph with 6x6 Engage is not a good idea. Also is there any TM manual, Books, or literature that talk about this subject???

Thanks
-Chris

65 mph?

He will never get the flux capacitor to kick in at 65 mph.

I havent had an m35 in a while but im pretty sure it says right on the dash what your max speeds are in hi and low.

G'day everyone,.....

The top speed of an M35 is about 120 mph. It has a lot of mass, but wind resistance is significant. I'm talking about it free-falling to the ground.

You should be able to 'Buff that out',...



Wheel bearings might have a flat spot in them though,....

So, do you have the "overdrive" kit installed ?

So. I can use these post as a defense for my speeding ticket honest your honor. I had it locked in an pedal to the metal at 56. Not 68 as the officer alludes. It’s just the NOISE that made him THINK I was going fast But seriously I like to run mine about 53. 55 on the interstate It really loves 48 Every thing just seems to harmonize there

My M35a2 will do 70mph at 2500rpm with No problems on the garden state parkway in New Jersey. Truck is stock no after market parts beside big tires (Goodyears MV/T). The only problem is it takes a runway to get up to that speed.

It was Jeepsinker’s truck.... LDS motor and “overdrive” kit....

The picture isn’t exactly relevant to this thread, but I couldn’t help posting it.

The only way that would be true in mine would be if it were Km.
