    M35A2 or M35A3? Pro's and Cons of each

    Just as everyone stated above. I'd be more concerned with the lack of parts and how expensive replacement parts would be if you do find them. Also, just my personal thing. If you like the looks of igor then A3 all the way:???:

    M109 camper. need help

    The land power plug is located on the front of the box, passenger side about 3/4 the way up the box. Most are a 2 prong plug that is nearly impossible to find mating plug for. The 24v power goes from the battery to the little black circuit breaker plug that is bolted to your van box. It is just...

    Would anyone know why my radio and VIC kit will not work together?

    I'm wondering what your switch setting is on the AM-1780. The one off on the far right corner that you adjust with a screwdriver. Is it on INT ONLY, OTHER, RETRANS?

    M109 camper. need help

    Ah, the only thing electically hooked to the box from the truck (at least with mine) is a measely little 14 or 12 gauge wire. This wire is hooked directly to the battery to provide the 24v to the box. Everything else is via land power on the huge power receptacle on the front of the box.

    M109 camper. need help

    Hate to do the "did you do a search" thing but there are at least 3-6 awesome write-ups on the 109 camper thing. I am doing the same project with my m109A3, the link is in just below. The first and foremost thing I would start with is making sure everything under the hood is good to go and make...

    Tow Bar Questions, input needed

    Tractor supply should have the pins you need. Albeit they won't be exactly what the military uses.

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    Completed the Air-O-Matic install today. It was a challenge drilling though the frame to accodate for the air regulator fittings for a few reasons. Just didn't seem right to put a nice 3/4 hole in the frame. Plus my cordless drill was having some troubles grabbing all that metal. After an hour I...

    I've heard these heaters fail prematurely when plugged in w/out being immersed in water.

    TM for belt change?

    You DO NOT have to remove the fan. Loosen the alternator and push it up towards the engine to loosen the alternator belts (2). The air compressor pulley is a two part pulley. You will see there are two bolts on the pulley on the forward most part of the pulley. You will need to loosen or remove...

    Kats 11619 block heater

    I just saw this pic of a GL deuce. Hmm, is that a block heater on the thermostat housing? Is this a possible location for a block heater? Would this cause premature opening of the thermostat?

    Kats 11619 block heater

    I am trying to figure out where I am going to put my block heater. I just got the brand new Kats 11619 off e-bay for $12 shipped.[thumbzup] Now, I haven't tried it but the heater element looks to be a bit long to fit here (see white arrow in pic). Has anyone placed this heater here? I don't want...

    Do I have an exhaust leak???

    Hmm, I get a slight burning in the back of my throat when I'm working on her during idle from inhaling that good ole soot. I haven't gotten this from driving her. Have you checked your exhaust joints and manifold for leaks? Plus the lower portion of the J pipe is notorious for rusting...I'd...

    It only has the one vent on the geared side of things. My other 3 winched trucks don't have any venting.

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    Today was one soggy, rainy, windy, nasty, and cold day. All these description brought up several excuses of why I shouldn't work on G&C. However, one thought came to mind....Air-O-Matic. I've had this AOM kit from the days brianrbull liquidated all those kits last year. I bought this kit for the...

    While the radiator is off...

    I just got a 3' stick of 2" NAPA radiator hose and a 50' spool of 5/8" Goodyear heater hose to do my 3 trucks. I'll cut the hoses to length. I did, however, went with NOS 2002 USGI lower radiator hose as the "Newer" New Star stuff is plagued with complaints on rubber qualitiy. With the location...

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    OK, been tackling the coolant issue for about a week and a half. I replaced all the 2" coolant hoses and the 5/8" heater hoses over the past week or so. As stated in a previous thread, I thought I had some overheating issues. Turns out the water temp gauge wasn't grounded to the gauge panel:x...
