Well I just had the first insurance company call me back with a quote: 1. What Year and Type of Deuce? M35A3 2. What kind of Policy? Quote for Full Coverage & Liability 3. Is it under a standard policy or an "antique car/truck" policy? Standard - Actual Use (not parade only etc) 4. What...

Well, so far I have either gotten "We don't insure that type of vehicle" or "...We can insure it, but only for use in parades or meets..." or they took all the info and just haven't gotten back to me, but maybe I'll here from those couple tomorrow. I noticed that there seems to be a lot...

Exactly! Well Said ColdWarrior Good info so far Everyone! Also some good tips on what kinds or "restrictions" or lack there of, that should be discussed with your insurance company before agreeing upon a policy. Something to keep in mind depending upon what you may want to use your deuce for...

Congrats on the Win [thumbzup] Hope you have an un-eventful and Easy Recovery

Hi All! I had seen a couple posts scattered here and there about insurance. But I thought I would start a thread just about Insurance for the Deuce. One thing this will do, is get everyone better informed. Who knows, you may be paying way to much $$$'s for your insurance, and someone may...

Which Deuce? M35A2 or M35A3?

We just bought an A3, haven't even picked it up yet. But I've been trying to search and read all the maintenance threads concerning the A3. After reading this thread, and seeing the prices for wheel bearings on the A3. Checking and Repacking the bearings is going to be one of the first things I...

New A3 Deuce Owner here. And after reading this thread :shock: and all the stories, I got to ask some questions: On the M35A3 Cat, if a run-away/engine over-speed condition occurs: First: Can it be stopped if it is caused by the introduction of an external fuel source (i.e. oil from turbo...

Now that is something I didn't know. I'll try to look one up. Thanks for the tip mckeeranger! [thumbzup]

Well... was hoping to get by for less than $3600 just for tires. But like you said, its cheaper than ICU or funeral.... and not worth the risk to me or anyone else. And even if nothing else happened, I don't want to break down on the side of the road someplace when it can be prevented. Been...

Wow, that's a long way. Have to ask him about that. I do remember him mentioning that he had sold a truck that was taken to Alaska. So maybe these tires will at least make it the 150 miles from his place back home... I would hate to have a blow out... especially a front tire! I've begun doing...

Wow... :shock: And here I thought I had at least read most of the "major" maintenance and "stuff to check first" threads. But I haven't read the first thing about the michelin tires being prone to blowout. I hope they're not in that date category, I have to drive it about 150 miles to get it...

Thanks Jimmy! I thought it may have been. Might have to contact Kenny and get one of those [thumbzup]

(I might need to start this in a new thread...) Ok, I've done some searching here on the forums, and I'm now considering putting in some things to make it "slightly harder" to steal, or at least to keep people from messing with the deuce. I have read about the battery kill switches. But...

Hey Thanks! Yeah the color looks like an odd shade, but I think at least part of that is just due to the photo/camera.

I've been seriously considering adding a CB. I installed a Cobra CB in my 08' Honda Element that I sold a few months ago. What kind of CB setup did you go with in your deuce? Adding a AM/FM Radio is a nice idea. Did you use your 12vdc for the radio? Or did you go find a 24vdc radio? I am...

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm kind of liking the color honestly. I might just leave it instead of going camo. Looking forward to picking it up :driver:

Hey Tlauden! Thanks for the comments! Yeah I think the green is starting to grow on me :-) The extra lights are a good idea, especially if we were driving on the interstate at night, or in rain/fog type conditions too. Most Interstates here are 70mph, so even more of a difference between the...

Hey Islandguydon, Thanks for the Comment [thumbzup] Hummm.... I could call it "The Mean Green Machine"... lol islandguydon & SPCWaring what is the sticker about?

:funny: I hate Fluorescent lighting when it comes to viewing the color on anything! I used to work in a place where we had a ton of different automotive paint, and of course like every other business, we had fluorescent lighting... Well, every week when we went to re-stock the paint...
