    M35a3 wheels on a M35a2

    I don’t think so. As long as the tires don’t rub on the inside. Don’t know how wide the tires your installing are. But if it’s the 395’s no.

    M35a3 wheels on a M35a2

    Not quite. Flipping the hub moves the wheel out a few inches so it doesn’t look funny with the inside rim only. The studs are the same length , the “nut” that goes on the inside wheel has threads on it for another nut to hold on the outside wheel.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    I was asking about the gaskets , only because you didn’t indicate that before you started that there was water in the motor and after you replaced the intake gasket it fill the motor with water , I figured the intake didn’t seat properly on the heads or the gasket was wrong. Even with a cracked...

    Alternative Fuel For M998

    Since I live in so cal. I’ve been seeing a lot of this bio diesel. And found this write up. Thought I’d share it. If you have a diesel-powered motorhome, or tow vehicle, you are probably used to seeing fuel pumps labeled with biodiesel content. Typically, they are marked with B-5 and up to B20...

    i got my Duce registered as historical right out of the box with a sf97. First don’t go to a main ( big city ) dmv. Those ppl are not bright.

    Assessing tire condition- NDT bias tires

    Dry rot is a crap shoot. I have had tires with cracks that I drove on for years , made in the 60’s recapped in the 70’s driven till 2020. Still worked till I put on some “newer” shoes. Have some “army” recaps from the 90’s that looked new but came apart as soon as they hit blacktop.

    🤣 I just washed out my 1123 over the weekend. I couldn’t believe how much mud I took out of it.
