I'd like to try it with a cheerleader. That being said, my trusty A3 has a smaller steering wheel and power steering so it is more user friendly. I kind of wish the seat had a little more tilt, it is still like driving in a straight back chair.

Didn't find it on any of the usual parts suppliers. NAPA on the other hand, had one on hand for $32 bucks. Haldex p/n KN20001

That is a very nice hood ornament, with her support you can get green and rusty for a long time. Welcome to the fun, now you can light your neighbors homes and be your own power company in bad weather.

I have an A3 with a bad air leak on the front axel solenoid in the cab. Both plastic elbows were cracked and I replaced them with suitable brass ones and the in and out air lines are snug and leak free. The valve is apparently the problem. It has a pressure relief hole directly behind the...

I am stuffing a couple of new 6TL's in my truck this weekend. I am even in town that weekend. I'd like to bring my trusty M35A3 out for a visit. Anybody else going to be there?

I call mine, the "Big Yellow Dog". It is an A3 that was being prepped for a trip to Iraq, they painted it desert tan in the parking lot, swapped on two new steer tires and a new passenger seat and in mid-2007 they stopped bringing unarmored vehicles to the war. It went to DRMO and moved home...

I'm sure this topic is discussed somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it. I am registering my truck for the first time since the new draconian socialist laws took effect. Apparently if it is over 16,001 pounds and a truck it is a commerical truck in Washington state with no regard given to...

I am southwest of town and have an M35A3, no slave cable thou.

I am also voting fuel issues. If you can swap fuel filters and bleed lines I'd do that. I took my A3 out for moving day last Saturday and put four hours on it with no problems, since it is winter, I drain the filters when she is warming up to check for moisture.

Keep chugging. I recovered my M35A3 from Georgia about three years ago. It ran a red-hot smoking 50 mph through rain, snow and miserable heat and made it 2500 miles without a hitch. I'm pretty sure it is the only one around eastern Washington. It averaged about 10mpg. Good luck with the...

I bought a 1.5 ton trailer to accompany my deuce a couple of years ago. It was fully rebuilt in late 2009 and had no problems until I backed it up and pinched the airbrake line. I now have a cut line. Anyone have a source for a new line? It is possible to take it down to the nearest truck...

Switch the trans to ATF as soon as possible,you can still buy the filter kit from Allison and the al filter is a Baldwin that is easy to find. It will run quite a bit cooler and a lot more trouble free when you are done. I'm over on the east side of Washington.

Bummer, my A3 has decent tires and I have a full set of six new spares for it. Never been mounted, new tires. If I do not wear my current set out they will go with the truck if I sell it. Any problems with clearance between the duals?

You would be amazed where you see members of the M35 family. There are A3's in several countries because we give them away. I've seen A2's pictured in various african countries, working as UN relief trucks, southeast asia has tons of them, Mexico and Philipines as well. If you could easily...

Hmmmm you could buy my truck and get six good tires on the truck and six new tires in the back.:)
