Humm .. Now thats an interesting cost effective thought :-)

Ok ... so I am about a year late .. better late that never ... I took some measurements of the above pipe and found that it didn't seem to be standard... at least that I know of. Any ideas of the size of Cap I should buy to cap this off? The measurements of the connector are - External...

Great point ...I keep forgetting to look under the truck to check the bolts, etc ... Last week I found I was missing a bolt off the alternator bracket. These are great trucks but man they sure can shake themselves apart if they want to.

The FM is from Apr 1991 and the Tactical Convoy Handbook is estimated at Apr 2003 which contains an interesting section on Hardening a Truck with Sandbags.

If there are any die hard collectors out there who don't want to wear out their seat canvas or someone like me who uses their truck for work.... I purchased a Dickies Heavy Duty Canvas Seat Cover $25 (for one). It is not a perfect fit because it is a "universal" fit, but it really isn't that...

Thanks for the pictures ... Looks great, but may be the pain exceeded the gain :-) If I could fit a 5 ton in my drive way... clam shell would be my choice ... nothing better than bring your tools with you where ever you go.

Do you have any pictures of the "swat truck" that sounds interesting?

more pic's Note the wood over head ... interesting idea.

I saw this and thought you guys would enjoy what one police department did to their deuce / M35a2. I tried to get a lot of pic's incase someone here is interested in trying this on their truck.

I purchased 9 pallets of wood pellets last month during MA Tax break weekend for November delivery but temp dropped so much needed to pick up 2 pallets early. Word got around fast at Lowes by the time I parked and got to the service desk and told them I need to pick up a few pallets early ...

I would guess that the O-Ring or Air Pipe gasket in the rim gave out at 80psi. Though I agree with many that these things are rated for 50 - 60 PSI and most likely can handle double that because of the gov spec buffer but at 10 years old .. I doubt it can stand up to 80psi consistantly...

Gladhand leak was an issue for me. The on-off valve for the gladhand was frozen open so I had to replace the rubber gasket in the gladhand along with the steel cover. At some point I will get to replacing the on-off valve but not any time soon.

:driver: Everyone has been very helpful to me, so happy to return the favor :driver:

Hi, I had a leak in my M35a3 wheel assembly and took the thing apart to replace the seals and a few cracked brass connectors. As I didn't know what I was doing I took pictures in case I need to undo something that I shouldn't have done. Turns out I must have done something right as the wheel...

Thanks everyone ... Black new o-ring it is :-) Thanks Patriot, I did get spare nuts and grommets for the CTIS pipe that enters the wheel. As you pointed out, that appears to the be the weak point for me (major rust build up and I can't even see the grommet under there).
