I have State Farm for both my M35A2 and my M35A3 - no problems.

I think you meant to post this to: Fuel Tank Question - Status Report on my MEP-002A

Fun, aren't they!

I recently recovered an M35A3 from Fort McCoy and completed a 1000+ mile trip home, most of it on the expressway. My newly acquired A3 averaged 6.37 MPG over the whole trip. I have driven my 1969 Kaiser Jeep Hercules LDT with D turbo several thousand miles since I recovered it. I currently...

Not having a baffle inside the tank would make cleaning the tank much easier! Mine had the baffle and it was a bear. Good idea using the xylene. I'll remember that for next time, although I hope there isn't a next time.

I've also found that putting a thin film of silicone grease on the seals and the covers makes them much easier to install and remove and eliminates a lot of friction between the bare steel and the seal. I'm not sure if this is recommended, but it works for me.

I agree, I've had a couple sets of Michelin tires on cars in the past that experienced severe cracking on the sidewalls and I had to replace them with a lot of tread left. However, the Michelin X 14.5X20R radials on my A3 show zero signs of cracking or deterioration from the outside, including...

I need some help identifying the year of manufacture for my M35A3W/W. It was sold as a 1993, but the two rear axles have 01/98 date tags. The front axle has a 10/97 date tag, as does the winch hydraulic unit. A. Serial Number: 503726 B. Registration Number: NKOHM6 or NK0HM6 (Not sure if 3rd...

You can correct the year on your title with the state. It normally isn't that difficult. I would recommend doing it. I think 53 is a good target on the CTIS. The wheels are rated at a max of 60 psi and any higher you are getting fairly close to the limit on the wheels.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You will find a lot of good advice and help on this site to help with your CUCV. Good luck with your recovery.

Make sure the valve is shut off. Then, go to NAPA and buy some new rubber seals for the gladhand. One of the first things I do when I pick up a new MV is replace all the gladhand seals. The gladhand covers are only there to keep dirt out.

The date code branded on the tires is in a format that I couldn't read. However, the spare I moounted had a paper sticker attached to the tread from Michelin that had a date of 05/88 on it.

The tank on my MEP-003A was in a similar condition. I also tried MEK, which didn't do anything. I found that very hot soapy water worked the best. After removing all fittings, I reached inside with a brillo pad and tried to clean as much as I could. After 4 or 5 brillo pads, I half filled...

There was a post on SS that I read once that included an attachment that explained the whole history of the multifuel engine, the licensing agreement from the German patent owners and Continental, and how the pocket on the top of the piston swirled and mixed the fuel after the injection...

The best place to look for tire chains for a Deuce is on E-bay in my opinion.

:ditto:

I just found out that my A3 is either a 1998 or 1999, most likely a 1998. GL advertised it as a 1993 as they do for most A3s. Both rear axles are date stamped January 1998. The front axle is date stamped October 1997. The winch hydraulics are stamped October 1997. Several other stickers on...

I think you mean inverter that would give you 117 VAC? Or do you mean a converter to take 24 VDC to 12 VDC? I have seen people take a plug that fits the slave receptacle to get a 24 VDC feed to inverters and 24 VDC power tools. I personally have a cigar lighter extensiion cord that I...

If you are talking about highway driving, pulling the connecting shaft between the two rear differentials will not cause any difficulties involving traction. This is very easy to do. Running lockouts on the front means that when the lockouts are 'out' , you are not spinning the front...

My M35A2 is a 69 Kaiser Jeep with a D turbo. I routinely get 10-12 mpg on the highway when I drive it very conservatively. I try to maintain 52 mph as the vibrations seem to fade at that speed.
