The larger tires provide more speed though I seldom go over 50 MPH. One curious thing I discovered, the speedometer in the truck read faster than actual speed. After tire change I used a GPS and now fing the speedometer matches the speedometer exactly! Wonder if I have an A2 speedometer in my...

Mounted a set of 395's on Hemtt wheels on my M36A3. They look and run great. I have an M35A3 that needs new shoes. After seeing how great the big Goodyears look on the A3 wheels, I think I will choose this route. The handling and driving difference between the tires (Goodyears vs stock...

Thank you for offer to do this

I used the 383 green and brown on my truck. Did a light sanding on existing paint. Used a metal prep (POR15) then just started spraying. I did multiple coats of medium thickness. Paint looks bad when you apply it. After a couple of days it settles down and looks great. Just ordered for for my...

Drive her over to my place in Centerville. We can compare notes and run the trucks on an un developed 1/4 mile strip in the back of my lot. I have one that goes pretty quick. Pete

Hmmm...possible that you have a plugged vent (back of cab), transmission got warm and forced fluid out of vent under pressure? Have you checked your fluid level? When I flushed mine, I ended up a quart low-took for test spin and it did not want to shift. Filled it up and it returned to normal.

Put one on my truck. Pete

Check you emergency brake linkage. When the grease gets cold, the spring return is not strong enough to pull it back. Going forward seems to drive the brake shoes into the drum on the E brake. Loosen up your e brake handle knob and see if it helps. If not-check your fluid level-it may be low. Pete

Andy1234 is who I got mine from. He is in St Louis. Pete

Get them from ANDY1234-he is a SS fella. I purchased from him-he is in St Loiue. Kit is fully complete and new-no junk. They look great and hardly anybody else has one on their truck. More women are waving at me when they see me now. Pretty sure its my new battery box. Pete

Nice truck. Its over the top.

Not sure about the low air cut off switch-didnt know there was one. If it does have one, it could also contribute-perhaps it holds air in when pressure drops and lets air out when full pressure. Given the air cylinder is a two way unit-if air cant get out-it cant get in (assist). There sure are...

1/4" port is way to small for a cylinder of this size. Smaller the port-the slower the piston extension. Add to the possibility of crud in the port-and you have issues keeping the air cylinder charged. The stuff we build here uses 3 and 4" air cylinders. We have found small regulators really...

Not sure but that sounds like flow. It acts sort of like a fuel filter that is plugged. Turn a little and the reserve air volume in piston is able to move the steering wheels until that compressed air volume is expanded in cylinder-when you are hitting the hard spot-perhaps the flow through...

The system operates fine at the maximum pressure the air comp puts out. I did notice that the regulator mounted to frame is very small. Regulators and solenoid valves used in comp air systems have a "CV" value. CV value refers to flow. The greater the size of valve and ports-the greater the...

Didnt know this-where does one find info on this?

Few things to do. First, look up under the frame near the steering box. There is a pressure regulator-take the cap off and set it for full pressure. Follow the line where it exits through the frame-there is a hose that is prone to leaking that goes from the bulkhead fitting in frame and to the...

I too have searched for a solution. I have also looked underneath the truck, replacing transmission is easier said than done. Got to thinking. To make engine run slower at speed, the ratio of engine to final drive needs to go down, so... A small gear multiplier mounted to the input side of the...

Well, I removed the front axel covers and checked wheel movement and noise-its clean and no grinding or free play. Put them back on and still get a bit of harshness. Looked at removing the front drive shaft-lot of work here. Will save that for another day. I did shoot some WD40 in where the...

I bought it from andy1234-he has posted to this thread He was decent to deal with and shipped fast This modification is well worth it-no regrets I now have clean air in cab-well mostly. I am now the only source emitting gas in cab!
