Update - I replaced the air dryer with an NOS dryer I got on Ebay. My dryer was really corroded and so I decided to just replace the whole unit. I didn't really think the dryer was causing my air pressure problem as I had settled on the compressor governor / unloader as the culprit and planned...

Clinto, I will be coming from North Georgia, departing Thursday morning from Hiawassee. I know there are several others that have indicated they may be departing from North Georgia as well and some on Thursday. It would be very easy for MVs from East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, North...

I don't know how I missed that post when I searched, I had even posted on it. After seeing it I remembered it. Terry McClanahan (American Outfitters) has a new telephone number - 619-390-4268. Terry is a very interesting guy and knows a lot about M35A3s. He was very helpful on the telephone...

While rebuilding one of the hubs on my M35A3, I discovered that one of my CTIS hub seal retainers was bent and battered. This was likely the cause of the seal failure. This is the retainer that holds the quad o-ring seal and each hub has two. It appears that someone in the military beat on...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I would definitley have someone check out the truck that knows Deuces. Look for rust as well since a 54 model is 57 years old. This could be a good deal, but I personally would look for something newer near you or look at GL I picked up my 69 Kaiser Jeep A2 W/W at...

WM, put me in for three large shirts.

The frequency of my MEP-003A will vary slightly like yours when big loads come on and off line. It is normally not a big issue. As far as load testing goes, I simply throw the transfer switch, which is manual and supplies the entire house, and turn on all the lights, both ovens, all cook top...

Ditto on the Fram Filters. My M35A2 and even my MEP-003A genset came with Fram filters. The only exception was my M35A3 which came with CAT oil and fuel filters and Fleetguard winch hydraulic fluid filter.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You don't want to part out that Deuce! I'm glad you are looking for a winch because that means you aren't parting it out. You will enjoy it and it looks like you have a good truck to start with. It isn't difficult to put a winch on. The best thing is to find...

You are correct.

My cat dealer had samples of all major filter brands cut open along with CAT filter. If this was legitimate, the CAT filter appeared to be significantly better. Who knows? The price I paid for CAT filters (oil and fuel) wasn't that bad. I went to a CAT offroad dealer and the filters had to...

I already got a cabin reserved this year - reserved it early as I knew they would go fast. I know last year some cabins became available at the last minute when some cancellations came it. Probably worth while calling them every once in a while if someone still wants a cabin.

The 545 is not a lock-up transmission and the 1545 is a lock-up transmission. Should be more economical to run, but I have no idea about the difference in reliability between the two. Mine is a 1545P. I attached another Allison document regarding Dexron III and TranSynd dated April 2002.

I called the Allison Technical Assistance Center at 800-252-2583. I have to warn you if you call them that I almost had to argue to get to talk to someone and I got transferred several times. It was an effort to obtain that telephone number.

Dexron III and all other Dexrons are a trademark of General Motors. Any petrolium company that wanted to market transmission fluid that complied with the GM standard for Dexron III had to pay GM a royalty to use the Dexron III name. GM has now rescinded the standard for Dexron III so no company...

The 34787s went right in on my truck without difficulty. I've never experienced any bottoming, even offroading. I live on 32 acres of extremely rough land in the mountains and most of my driving is offroad. I replaced my shocks because my front tires were wearing badly, especially the...

There is also normally a small yellow sticker on a truck, or anything else for that matter, that came from GL that has the original acquisition cost. Both of my deuces had it on a headlight.

I'll try to take a photo tonight and post it.

The solvents are most likely not an issue. It's what is dissolved or suspended in the solvents that would bother me. I personally wouldn't touch it. It could end up being some expensive fuel.

WM, if you are willing to sell the ammo box mount separately, how much would you want for it?
