You need the cab reinforcement plate installed regardless of whether you intend to shoot or not. The M66 gun ring is very heavy. I have a reinforcement plate in my M35A3 and the cab still flexes quite a bit and moans and groans. Depending on the prior use of your poles, you may need to cut...

Do you have the vent open on the fuel tank?

You guys have scared me a little. I have an M35A3 with a CAT 3116 engine. I went out and looked at that oil line. It looks brand new on my engine. However, my engine is very smooth, even while driving. Virtually no vibration other than normal diesel engine noise.

How much was your truck worth? You may be better off finding another truck and totaling yours. Finding the parts won't be hard, but finding them locally might be. As Cattlerepairman said, the labor is the main concern and could be significant. If you do go the repair route, don't accept...

Thanks for the help. Everything you said makes a lot of sense. I'll pass this on. Thanks.

I know someone that is interested in buying a SEE that is currently not running, is not likely to be running without a lot of work, but needs to get it loaded on a trailer for transport. Unfortunately, the front bucket is down on the ground. Fortunately, the backhoe is in the stowed position...

I was right. I removed the leaking rubber fuel line. It had a crack right at one end where I couldn't see it until removed. I went to O'Reilly's to get a new piece of 1/4" fuel line and found that they were out of fuel line. Went across the road to Autozone and they had it. Took about 15...

Someone should take that project on.

Went for a ~15 mile ride on my M1030M1 diesel motorcycle yesterday. It was a great ride until I discovered that diesel fuel was spraying all over the engine. I made it back home and attempted to find the leak. It appears that one of the rubber fuel lines has ruptured, which is a good thing...

I didn't want autostart with my MEP003A. I wanted to keep it simple. The more complicated, the more chances for malfunction. I have a 400 amp Square D transfer switch that I throw after I start the generator. My MEP003A is set up to run the entire house. I have never warmed the generator up...

Why didn't you just repair the surge brakes? They are very simple and replacement parts are easy to find. When I got my M116A2 trailer, the surge brakes didn't work. I replaced the shock absorber and one broken hydraulic line. I think the total was about $35.00 for parts. I flushed out the...

I've had extremely good luck with Interstate 6TLs. Both of my deuces came from the military with Interstate 6TLs and I got a lot of years out of them. I replaced both with Interstate 6TLs from my local parts store and they are still performing strong after several years. Both were serviced...

Perhaps the altitude limit is for EPA emissions. I have an M35A3 with a CAT 3116 engine and it doesn't have any sticker limiting altitude.

Welcome to the site! What part of Georgia are you from?

Use your IR gun where the temperature sending unit is located. If you are going to pull the thermostat to test it, I would go ahead and replace it with a new one. Just because looking into the radiator tank looks clean doesn't mean your radiator core isn't plugged up. Another possibility is...

Free All is all over on Ebay.

A 1 inch impact will almost certainly do it, but make sure you have adequate air supply for the 1 inch impact. If that doesn't work use a nut splitter or cut it off with a Dremel.

What model truck do you have? All M35 trucks with a manual transmission can be shifted in and out of hi and low range while driving. However, M35A3 trucks are equipped with an Allison automatic transmission and require being stopped and the transmission in neutral to shift the transfer case.

You can definitely shift while moving. It is designed to be able to be shifted while driving.

You have an M35A3. Have you downloaded and read the TMs? TM 9-2320-386-24-1-1 has troubleshooting procedures for the Prestolite alternator in your truck. If you don't have a complete set of the TMs for your truck, you should go to www.jatonkam35s.com and download all of the M35A3 manuals you...
