I know this post is kind of old, but there's a gear kit to go from 6.72 to 4.90. Rockwell has info on their site.

What kind of fuel economy do they get? I have read the 900s get around 7, curious if that's accurate. There are a lot more options for the m35s now than just old surplus. Delco alternators have been fitted to much success, hydraulic heads and injection pumps are now being rebuilt with success...

That would be such an awesome setup. Also I just read the 939 had the roomiest cab as well. For what it would cost though you could probably do the manual swap and have driveshafts made for the FMTV to handle the faster rotation. Then you have one off pieces on the truck and all the problems...

All true, and must be factored in. Parts availability is probably higher for the FMTV as well. I'm told A3 wheels on an A2 with the right tires eliminates a lot of those issues, I don't know yet because I'm brand new. If there's no reliable way to put a manual in an fmtv, an A2 on super singles...

Tidbit of info for newbies or anyone who doesn't know, our engines may not reach operating temp in cold weather, so how do you know if its warm enough to run safely? Well I can't speak for all of us, but my turbo unit told me. After sitting for a week, I went out, flipped the battery switch, did...

Does it have to be an LMTV? An M35A2 with service van body would make a nice rv, but won't go very fast. Then you have a manual and a 2 speed transfer case and an all fuel engine that only needs electricity to start and have gauges. Basically everything you want out of an LMTV on close to the...

Yeah.... If I tried wvo right now it'd probably solidify in the lines before it reached the HH, waaay too cold 😆. I'll have to pick up a hydrometer, and I like the idea of an added fuel cell on the truck itself, one for clean winter fuel and one for waste summer smokeshows. Now I just need...

I agree, but I had the ball hitch trailers long before I had the truck. It's a 20k Curt commercial, not a bad unit 😎

Awesome rig! Just in time to miss the blizzard 😆

Definitely will, thank you. Don't need things growing in my fuel tank.

Did it, loaded with around 6k on a ball hitch, in the snow. Absolutely phenomenal

I knew what the second clasp was, just didn't know they made brass ones. Thanks for the info about the anti fly up latches

Is it bad for us or just the 5 tons? Apologies if this is redundant, my search came up empty

Amongst the oohs and aaahs I found a couple things I'm unsure of, no idea what the larger clasps are for and i didn't know they made hood clasps with brass caps. Also found a speedometer showing 5 miles on the odometer 👍. Hoping someone can tell me what the latches are and catch me up on brass...

That's how it's done!!!

I have read going to a more rural DMV office helps out there as opposed to the city, not sure where you tried. Not sure why they wouldn't register it if it passed inspection, especially since you have commercial insurance on it. Sounds to me like office incompetence.

Honestly, a setup like this is waaaaaaaaay easier. The switches have push button style breakers and are 12v or 24v capable and illuminated. To each their own though, like you said, figuring it out is part of if not most of the fun.

I went through the same conundrum, just with an m35, bought it KNOWING reliability is an issue if it's neglected, haven't regretted it. Dollar for dollar, a wrangler and a hmmwv are going to be about the same, and be about the same amount of work, especially now days. I say do it, buy a cheaper...

Chances are then that's a one off someone had done, or did as practice. It's awesome, looks pretty light too, in comparison.

I'm sure there are restrictions, haven't looked that deep yet. I'll post findings here when I do though.
