I have a M36A3 that came out of Kuwait. Have owned for about ten years. Its been a good truck.

I have a real slantback. Mine has the turret on top. It leaks but really not all that bad. Pete

Posting pictures of the Good Years on my A3. Its tight in the rear. Threw in a picture of my dog, Jango (because he looks cool). Pete

I have a M36A3-its long wheelbase model. Put 395s on it, front lock outs and automatic air drains on tanks. Have had it for about 7 years. They run great and are dependable. Enjoy your truck. Pete

I had a rattle coming from mine. I found the lower bolt that holds it to engine (view from beneath the truck), had been broke off. I installed a new one-rattle gone. Pete

OK. Thanks you guys for tips. I am at farm on Saturday and will try these. Pete

Truck sat for about a year, but started right up. Ran well but for some reason lost power when in gear. Stop and let it run for a bit and it seemed to have more power for a shorter duration. Limped it back to barn where it could barely idle. Let it sit for a week and went to start it. Fired...

I will check that today. Pete

The sound is more metallic. I have been doing more investigating (fiddling) with her. Good, because I am now learning this truck and how cool the mechanicals are. I found the thermal switch that operates cadilac valve was not working. My fan never cycled out-it was always back toward engine...

I notice that the unit in front of fan moves with rotation of fan a bit. I am wondering that the noise might be coming from fan hub insides. Like a pawl that is loose or dragging.

Looked at the fluid in the power steer pump before and after-its not frothy or bubbly. Used an aluminum tube to ear-cadilac valve, power steer pump and water pump are not making the noise. Its seemingly more around the fan. Its not the little crimped bracket that holds shroud back-checked that...

I will grab a piece of aluminum on my way out tonight. Will give it a go and also get video.

I would appreciate the help. Steering back and forth feels normal until the last few degrees of wheel turn were the steering wheel turns harder. The noise-not a whine-does not seem to change when doing this. I have done the, run engine, turn full right, shut of engine for 15 minutes, then repeat...

Rattle is back. Sounds like ball bearings in front of engine. Water pump bearings are free of play. Need help here.
