Somebody was selling a crated rebuilt front axle for the deuce and listed the shipping weight as 1,250 lbs! Holy smoke! I thought these things weigh 400 lbs at most. I guess I was wrong. What about the rear axles? Are they just as heavy? I was thinking about buying a used rear axle for...

Has someone put together a comprehensive list of military truck salvage yards and truck dealers in Florida and maybe Georgia? Some time ago I stumbled upon some yard near Miami near the airport but I do not remember the exact location. Also, there was a military truck salvage yard right off...

I used to buy M35 parts from the CMS company which was located in Augusta, GA, off of Mike Padgett's Highway. They used to rebuild M35 trucks for the US government and they had very part in stock and a yard full of used parts. They went out of business about 5 years ago. There was an outfit...

I know about that place, they used to sell military trucks years ago, but lately i did not see anything out there. I bought some M35 parts from them in the past.

How do I turn off the automatic E-mail notifications when replies to threads I participate in are posted in this forum? These notifications are cluttering my mailbox.

Does this version have any engine management system, i.e. engine computer, or any electronic engine/transmission controls? If yes, are they prone to problems? I assume you can use manual lockout hubs on the front axles of this deuce, just like on the A2 versions. Have they upgraded the...

In more than 10 years of owning my M109 I came across several very low quality parts which I bought from surplus dealers and which had the appearance of being genuine military contract items. They came in sealed packages bearing the part National Stock Number, contract number, etc. I...

Left hand thread studs should have a letter 'L" stamped on the end. Well, at least that was the case with my '70 Chrysler Newport which has left hand thread lug nuts on the left side.

I noticed on a photo of M35A3 data plate that the towing capacity has been reduced to 6,000 lbs. The M35A2s had 10,000 lbs towing limit. Why the reduction?

Are you saying that the whole issue is simply caused by imbalance in the wheel, and not some bizarre suspension flaw? That's good to know.

Is balancing singles required by the Army TO? No such requirement exists for M35 equipped with 9X20 NDT tires.

To remove engines/transmissions, I would recommend a relatively cheap gantry crane you can buy at harborfreight for about $ 600 on sale, plus the cost of trolley and a 2 ton hoist. This crane is way overbuilt for its 2,000 lbs rating, and quite sturdy. 2,000 lb capacity is enough to remove a...

How about "never work without them? ;-)

Check out the custom ROPS on these 8X8 Tatra trucks:

This is really sad news. I feel bad for his family. May he rest in peace. .

What kind of mileage can one realistically expect out of an M820 expandible van with the 855 cu in Cummins/5 speed manual transmission and standard 11 X 20 NDT military tires? Also, what is the highest possible cruising speed for this vehicle? I have an M109 (2.5 ton shop van) now and I am...

I am beginning to wonder if these boots are not just some Chinese made junk made of substandard rubber that is not even grease resistant. The zippered boot set I just bought off eBay has the zippers riveted on and the rubber feels fresh and pliable. But so did the rubber on previous boots...

Isn't there at least one known dealer that consistently sells good quality boots?

What is the top speed of an M35A3?

Can someone post which boots are good quality ( both solid and zippered kind)?
