They will definitely fit, but whether they are safe or not is another question. The bead and rim are different. Many say it is not safe while others run the 395s without problem.

Whenever I'm winching something that is even remotely close to approaching the shear pin failure point, I use a snatch block.

:ditto: As mentioned previously, there is no reason your tires should leak air if the proper procedures are used. I simply clean both wheel halves, install new o-rings without any sealant. The TM says not to use sealant. I also install new grommets and torque to 45-60 lb-ft. I also have the...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. We are waiting for photos of your truck. I'd like to hear more about it.

The first thing to do is change the fuel filter. The filter is a CAT 7E9783. After changing the filter, open the drain on the water separator. While someone cranks the engine, check to see if fuel is expelled from the drain. If so, this eliminates the fuel pump, leaving the IP as a potential...

I''m leaving Hiawassee Thursday morning, joining someone in Demorest and another truck near Athens. You are welcome to join us, but you are probably too far away.

Only 125 miles for me in my M35A3 (or my A2 if my A3 is still out of commission). Are we there yet?

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I would recommend getting the raised pintle. I have an F150 4X4 that I pull an M116A2 trailer with, and this trailer is a modified M101A2. With the raised pintle, the trailer is almost level. Your 4X2 will be sitting lower and I think you will be happier with the...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Try JATONKAM35s HOME ON THE WEB .

Ditto. Aside from most body parts being the same, most of the mechanical parts are completely different. I have the same problem accessing M35A3.net from work or using my work computer. I was notified that I was not permitted to try to access the site anymore due to language. I was then...

The paint is great - the cans are junk. I found that I have almost no clogs if I invert the can several times during the spraying and clear the nozzle. However, my big problem is that the nozzles leak and liquid paint accumulates on the top of the cans. When the can is tilted, the paint...

I would raise both front wheels off the ground and make sure everything turns freely. As others have said, it isn't likely it is a steering box issue with your symptoms.

:funny:

One of my hub seal retainers (inner) was badly damaged by someone in the Army. I went ahead and replaced both the inner and outer. The hub seal retainers are held in place by the bearing races, so I had to drive out the bearing races with a brass drift. The inner race was a ***** to get out...

Good luck with yours. It is actually not that difficult to work on. You should check out this thread. M35A3 rear wheel bearing packing, with photos I've spent most of my time waiting on parts to arrive. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I needed until I got it apart.

Time for an update. I located new hub seal retainers. I removed both bearing races and hub seal retainers. I was amazed at the damage I found on the inner hub seal retainer, along with a small amount of damage to the inner surface of the hub itself. Someone in the Army really did a number on...

Congratulations on a good recovery! I sounds like you got one of the good trucks. Have fun with your new toy.

GL lists virtually all A3s as 93 models. When you get your truck, look at the date code tags on the axles and any other place you can find and you can narrow down the actual manufacturing date. What many don't realize is that when you apply for the SF97, the date that comes back on the SF97 is...

Ditto on the seats - I may be interested.

I would seriously think that if you were supplied with written documentation from AM General affirming that the truck is indeed the very first M35A3 produced, that it would be worth more money than any other A3. If the church has it for sale, I would recommend that they stress the fact that it...
