    Dueling out m35a3. can it be done

    This is how my A3 looks on 11.00 x 20 tires. These are Firestone 831s. I did not employ a conversion kit. I plugged the lines and that was four years ago. No issues. Flipping the rear hubs is not as complicated as it sounds and the tires will be street legal. It provides a good opportunity to do...

    m45a1?

    The picture and the description do not add up. It sure looks like a Mack. However, trucks built on the M45A1 Chassis, ran on the LDS-427 engine, and were a 2 1/2-ton, 6 X 6, with 9.00 X 20 tires

    Drive 55 mph or less with only short bursts to 60 mph and the alternator light issue as described should resolve itself.

    Noise levels in cab after installing DynaMat

    I have used this stuff on my CUCV, the M35, and the M54. It works exceptionally well. Easy to cut and work and really lasts. After cleaning the floors, painting with epoxy and spraying with Eastern's rust hogging rubberized undercoat, I apply NOICO matting. Less expensive but heavy to ship. I...

    Outage 9-22-2016

    Wheeew! I am so glad I came out of the bunker tonight to make sure all the animals were free and roaming before finally sealing the door when I found this message. I saw the site go down earlier today and I just knew that bad news had to be coming over the horizon so I swept up the family and...

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    This is the part of the question that is easy to solve. However, the bigger question is How are you going to stop this beast since it weighs more than your towing vehicle, Secondly, this trailer will push your light weight/non-dually truck's rear end around in a turn on dry pavement...even for...

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    Thank you. The photo was taken in late May. The day was spent cutting the barley crop having been planted the previous fall. The trailer is ready an m796 bolster trailer with a 20 foot aluminum drop side bed. Great hay hauler.

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    I can't afford to own junk. I purchased my M35A3 with 2900 miles in 2009. It now has 36,000 and a few miles. It is driven every few days, always parked indoors except when loaded, and maintained regularly. It has never failed to work when called upon. Never a road call, breakdown...nothing.

    M54 steering leak

    You might also wish to upgrade to the M809 truck series steering. The M54s were upgraded to the newer steering found on the M809 series when they went through depot rebuilds.
