    M35 a2 vs m35 a3

    Ok ok ok so maybe i push the power steering a little much but i do enjoy it. why does everybody dislike the front of the A3 deuces I like it it is different, the only thing i don't like is how the front of the hood is higher besides that i like the front end. I also heard some one talking about...

    M35A2 or A3 ?

    When i picked up my M813A1 from Ft. Meade in MD. i got to drive an A3 and was very impressed with it. Take this from experience NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER BUY A PIG IN A POKE ALWAYS GO AND PREVIEW YOUR TRUCK EVEN IF YOU MUST TAKE OFF WORK ITS WAY WORTH IT AND MAY JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT THE...

    M35 a2 vs m35 a3

    A3 definateley front end does look a little strange at first but i would choose an A3 over an A2 no.1 newer because of rebuild, no.2 quieter because of insulation and flooring, no.3 CAT diesel engine, no.4 overal nicer truck persoanlly

    M35A2 or A3 ?

    Having seen both the A2 and A3 deuces i would go with the A3 they do have some problems with that CTIS but im sure that can be fixed properley. The A3's are much newer being they were rebuilt in the early 90's as part of the extended service program they are much nicer on the inside as well. A2...

    M35 vs M813???

    I personally preffer the 5 ton i enjoy my M813A1 W/W yes they are bigger ride rougher cost more to purchase and fuel the parts are a little harder to get only because they weren't as highly produced like the deuce. But it sits higher looks cooler personally. has HYDRUALIC POWER STEERING from the...

    5 ton 818 Battery

    Also the man at the battery store told me that they do make two styles of the 8D one is a "starting battery" and the other is a "deep cycle battery" obviously the choice is yours but remember that deep cycles are designed to be run low before recharge like you have a bunch of accessories running...

    5 ton 818 Battery

    Im with 73M819 I run two big 8D series batteries that are designed for heavy equipment and I have. No problems starting no matter what the temp is. Also at about $200 a piece without a core they are still cheaper than those darn 6TL's which will run you about $800 for four they're around $175 a...

    cleaning out rust inside M813A1 fuel tank

    Pulled the tank off the M813A1 today to sand and paint it figured I should pull the sending unit and the pickup tube to see what the inside of the tank looks like. Wasn't terribly rusted but way more than I feel comfortable leaving alone. Any suggestions on how to clean this rust?;)

    Anybody ever use railroad to get GL buy home

    Yeah I can't tell you how many businesses used to use rail but no longer do because of the big rail roads not wanting to switch cars I believe that the rising cost of diesel will bring these small industries back and we will be restoring the rail heads we tore out 30 years ago when rail was...
