This is great guys! It looks like I will be getting two sets of GI chains for the rear from a surplus dealer. I already have a set of GI chains for the front. I just have to find them. Are the GI chains pretty good or should I go aftermarket? The GI chains are NOS and never used I believe. The...

How do I get a hold of Colman's? Thank you.

Okay. I am learning a lot here. I like the idea of "three railers". Is that something I could pick up at a Flying J or a Pilot? It would be great to not have to pay for shipping! Now I have been told I only need to put chains on the corners and not all three axles. That does not make sense to...

Does anyone have any suggestions on some good tire chain set ups for my duce for deep snow and or mud? I am sticking with the stock duelies in the rear. I know some of you are going to yell for me to switch to Super Singles but I don't think that is the best idea for me. I really like the...

Thanks guys. The question was not so much will there be enough heat as does the defroster have enough heat and air movement to fully defrost the windshield in the dead of winter? I was thinking that with two men in the cab and cold temps out side the defroster may have a hard time keeping the...

Can anyone tell me how the defroster works on a M35 in very clod weather? I am guessing not very good. I have an auxiliary form of cabin heat and I was thinking that a couple little 24 volt fans blowing on the windshield with the heat in the cabin may do the trick. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

I have not driven my duce in a month or so and today I took it out for a run. The breaks were real soft and I had to put the peddle almost to the floor to get her stopped. The air pressure is fine and I can hear the air pressure release when I take my foot off the break. There is no sign of...

Readyman, I am in the process of putting together a fording kit also. Can you give us more details about where you got all your hardware, part numbers, prices,etc? That would be a big help. Thanks!

Readyman, This is all great information. I just PMed you so I hope you get it. So far I have not had good luck PMing some guys. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a low pressure regulator for a fording kit? I understand that these were pretty common on the 5 tons but not so much on the duces. The unit takes the full air pressure from the compressor and reduces it to about 2.5 psi. I am looking for just the regulator...

The question still remains. How can one make a "fordable" M35 without having to find a stock fording kit? For new guys like me I would really like to find the directions to find the parts (off the shelf?) and the instructions on how to install it if possible. I just don't even know where to...

Great! Thank you.

Ditto!

Cranetruck, I have tried a number of times to send you a PM. It does not look like they are getting through. Can you think of another way to contact you? This is crazy! Thank you.

Cranetruck, No problem at all. I never doubted you like I said. i certinly do not want anyone to think you did not answer me on perpose. As soon as I saw your last reply i cheked my "sent" file for my PM and my note is not there so it was never even sent it looks like. :oops: I kind of figured...

Craintruck, Thanks for the reply. Like I said, you most likely get a bunch of requests and don't have time for all of them. I was careful about what I wrote because I did not want to offend you or anyone else. I hope I did not. Maybe my PM never got to you. There is a good chance of that. I...

Kenny, I understand. I am really trying to get my truck set up with a fording kit (home made) but trying to get quality info is tough! I have PMed Craintruck but he never got back to me. He most likely gets a lot of them so I understand. If you ever run across any directions with a parts list...

Where can we get a copy of that MVM article?? There seems to be a lot of interest in the fording capabilities and even more questions. Thanks for anyone's help!

A new motor or a new shaft for $22.00? Thanks.

That's what I'm finding. I am hoping someone has a few "parts" wiper motors laying around I could get one of these shafts from. Thanks.
