I have both an M35A2 and an M35A3. I like them both. Both appear to be very reliable. I was going to sell one or the other, but I can't make my mind up so I will most likely keep both. Don't tell my wife! I've had my A2 for about a year and a half and drive it regularly and use it on my...

I seriously doubt highway performance would be impacted, but I'm not an expert. I have no idea what the impact is on driving in heavy rain for instance.

The tires were intended to be directional by Michelin and self-cleaning, like the tires on a tractor. The 'V' in the tread is supposed to be pointing rearward when in contact with the ground on both sides for all wheels. That being said, Michelin also says that they can be run in either...

When I picked up my A3 from Sparta, the tires were not all mounted the same way. They were installed correctly on both sides. The spare was set up like the drivers side. I've seen a lot of A3s still at GL lots, some with the tires mounted correctly and others all mounted the same. Obviously...

Unfortunately, the A3 wheels are only rated for 60 psi.

I have now talked with two people at CM Automotive. They are quite proud of their CTIS system on the M35A3 and state that it is very reliable and simple. Both people told me that it is not fair that people are buying these trucks at auction and complaining, because these CTIS systems are...

A few weeks ago I saw a procedure in the TM for testing the axle seals to see if they hold pressure, and now I can't fid it. I'll keep looking. I do remember that the procedure included installing a pressure gauge, pressurizing the system and seeing how long the system held pressure. There...

I would put a wanted ad in the classifieds for the M149 lid. It might take a while, but eventually someone will part one out.

I work for Honeywell International, and we have a manufacturing plant located on Brooksbank Avenue in N. Vancouver. You should finish your pilots license. You have excellent opportunities for flying in BC.

Your M109A3 is still a multifuel, no problems. The fuel viscosity compensator simply adjusts the IP to account for different energy levels in the fuel so that the engine behaves more similarly regardless of the fuel. I'd leave the viscosity compensator by-passed if it was me.

:ditto: Does the sound occur both in hi and low range? And only when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear? I would be more inclined to think it was the transmission once you eliminate the possibilities outlined by Gringeltaube. I had a similar sound develop suddenly in my M35A2 while driving. I...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You live in two great places. I travel to North Vancouver several times per year to visit one of our manufacturing plants, and elsewhere in BC to visit customers. I also travel to Denmark, both Copenhagen and Silkeborg. What model Cessna do you fly? I fly a 1978...

I would make sure you have good clean connections on both batteries and every other high amperage connection from the batteries. Also check the batteries ground connections and the engine ground.

Rick, I'm not an expert on the MEP-002A. I have an MEP-003A, which has a lot of similarities. I don't think there is a filter in the IP, but I could be wrong. If you are certain that it is missing on both cylinders, there is still the possibility that the IP is pulling in some air some place...

Are you hearing some sort of noise, or just asking the question? If you are hearing some noise, it should not be the glow plug.

I never take mine over 2500 RPM. Try running it the 60 miles or so until it starts losing power. Come to a stop on a slight hill and see if it will roll freely or if something is dragging.

Some thoughts on your problem- - - Unless the erratic running is happening with both cylinders, I would think you can rule out filters. I think you can narrow the problem down to one of the following, but not necessarily in that order. 1. IP problem 2. Injector problem 3. Sticking valve...

I've been doing some research on how the CTIS system from CM Automotive works. I decided to look for patents on the system. A man by the name of Chander Mittal started CM Automotive and he has several patents. Patent number 5,629,873 appears to cover the M35A3 CTIS system and is a very...

Good looking truck and trailer! When backing up, I always put the transfer case in low range. It makes backing up much easier.

:ditto: I have used my winch a lot, and have never sheared a pin. I have a military aluminum shear pin. I have found the hardest thing about replacing the cable is installing the hook. When winding my cable, I attached the hook to my Polaris ATV on a slight hill. I use a piece of 2X4 to...
