Looking good! You will enjoy the power steering. My M35A3 only has air assist steering, but it makes it much more enjoyable to drive. The power steering will be even better.

Much of the internal rust may just wipe off since it appears to be surface rust. You could try to get as much as you can. I would not try to use a wire brush, especially a motor-driven wire brush since one or more wires from the wheel may come out and end up in the transmission. It looks like...

Bows are normally very easy to find since they are identical to M35A2 bows. You now have a very nice truck.

Definitely re-core the old radiator. I've done that on several different vehicles with 100% success. As an aside, the same radiator shop has boiled out several fuel tanks for me, again with 100% success.

That's too much work for me. When I bought 5 new Pirelli tires from CSM Army tires for my FLU419, my local tire shop, Thomas Tire in Blairsville, Georgia mounted them for $30.00 each including disposal of the old tires.

Reliability issues was one of the main reasons they are being replaced by the military.

As others have said never use starter fluid. Starter fluid can easily damage the engine and is absolutely never needed. If everything is correct, the MEP003A will start up very easily, even in cold weather. If it won't start, don't keep cranking as you are only torturing your starter. Make...

I think I would just find another engine.

I haven't looked at mine, but at least it's mounted externally to the alternator.

I would suspect the problem is a faulty voltage regulator. I looked up the FLU voltage regulator for a friend a while back and I think it was around $50.00 at EI.

I found my frame numbers, but some were very difficult to read. WDB419101 1?141066 (I believe the second digit may be a 1.) I may take some white paint and try to fill the digits in to make them more readable.

I would call Red Dot back and try to talk with one of their engineers instead of customer service who I'm assuming you already talked to the first time. I personally don't think there would be a problem if the side of the drain pay would catch the condensate and you can drain it, but who knows...

What number are you looking for on the frame?

I believe supercapacitors are the future if they can figure out how to get the energy out at the rate needed. Supercapacitors are amazing. Very quick charging and a tremendous capacity for storing energy.

I have a 1998 M35A3 with Air-O-Matic steering. In my case, the steering is great. I haven't experienced any of the above-mentioned problems and I've had it for almost 12 years and put a lot of miles on it.

That thing would look almost new with a little paint. What does the interior look like? Mechanicals are the most important. If it runs great, that's 95%.

I'm going to go ahead and reserve a cabin in the morning. I tried online this evening, but I keep getting an error message. Edit: I'm now reserved for Cabin #2 Miner's Manor. I have no idea where it's at because I can't find it on the map.

I was looking for one a while back and gave up. Oregon no longer manufactures the 160ATSA195. I ended up purchasing an Oregon 160PXDK095, which is a commercial replacement for the 160ATSA195. You should place an ad in the Parts For Sale forum. I would also place an ad on Ebay. How much as...

I went with Pirellis and love them. I didn't want any taller tires that would raise the center of gravity since I'm on mountainous terrain. I got the Pirellis from CSM Army Tires for a really good price.

Congratulations on your truck. The M35A3 trucks are very good and reliable. If someone has switched to ATF, hopefully it is Dexron 3 compatible since most other ATF fluids will damage seals and o-rings in the transmission. If it was me, I would go ahead and switch to Dexron 3 by repeated...
