According to Carnac, it is a 97, but the axles and other equipment have 1998 date tags on them, so I have been calling it a 98. I'm going to re-submit the paperwork through my local county tag office. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will go through without difficulty. If not, I'm stuck supplying...

I've seen that happen a lot. I think it must be new bidders that don't have a clue, bidding against each other.

I finally received my SF-97 for my new M35A3 after about a 30-day wait. I had a very fast EUC experience of only 12 days, but the SF-97 was another story. Today, I went to the Dept of Motor Vehicles office to apply for a title. This was the State office in Atlanta, not a county tag office...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and congratulations on picking up your M1009. Good luck with your project.

First, welcome to the site. Here are some answers to your questions. a. It is the buyer's responsibility to load. With that being said, GL reps on site will often assist in the loading. Talk to the local GL reps, don't bother with the GL folks in Arizona. b. There are many shippers that can...

That's what happens when you post in a hurry and are tired! Sorry Carnac!

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Good luck with your search for an M1009.

Most of the vehicles stayed in Vietnam. As for Europe, I was stationed in Germany in 1970-71 with 2/36th Infantry, 3rd Armored Division (S). I was stationed at Ayers Kaserne near Butzbach. During this time-frame there were about 300,000 troops. I have to tell you, we drove the **** out of...

I now have the official word from Castrol and Allison on the compatibility of TranSynd and motor oil. I have heard concerns that to switch to TranSynd, that it is better to switch to Dexron III first and then go to TranSynd. I plan on replacing the motor oil in my Allison 1545P with TranSynd...

Great photos!

When sending the info to CARNAC, also include the registration number in addition to the VIN. Often, you can wet sand the rear and front bumpers and uncover the numbers. That is what I did and mine matched what CARNAC came up with. Make sure you use the correct format exactly as he outlines in...

I haven't heard that, but in some ways that makes sense. In my case I was only going 45 and the A3 decelerated very quickly once the tire blew. I just hung on and steered.

Mine will occasionally stick. I spray the linkage with carb cleaner and manually move it around and it loosens up. I have found that if I exercise the genset once per month, I never have any issues.

Have you tried flashing the generator? Sometimes I need to flash mine to get output, sometimes not. Simply turn the selector to the start position for a few seconds and see if it starts putting out. Sometimes I have to do this several times. Don't worry, the starter will not engage. One...

I'm going to use the drain and fill with mine as well.

You are looking at Off-road diesel. It is the same as regular diesel but is dyed red to show that no road taxes were paid. Be careful - burning that stuff can be expensive if you get caught!

My A3 was sold by GL as a 93. Carmac looked it up and came up with 97. The rear axel tags say 1/23/98 and 1/26/98. The Allison transmission also has a 98 date on it. The engine says 93. I believe mine has a serial number reserved for 97, but was not built until 98. I'm registering it as...

Has anyone had any luck eliminating moisture build-up under the front floormats in the M35A3? Any water that leaks in seems to go under the floormats and collect there as well as moisture condensing from the air. The rubber floormats don't let it 'breathe' and dry out.
