    M35A3 Owners unite

    I agree with Jerry. Though I have 395's on my A3, i run it at 50 MPH or 2500 RPM. I drive it and grease it all of the time. The more its driven the better it is for the truck.

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Had mine out for a Military Appreciation event in St Francis, MN this past weekend. On way back from event, took it to a game refuge and drove trails for an hour. Put about 70 miles on here with zero issue. Fuel consumption was not bad either-gauge didn't move a whole lot. I am gentle on...

    Better Lug nuts for super singles
