    Two-tone grill?

    My A3 came desert tan with a flat black grill, it took a bit to grow on me, but I like it. Besides it is the way the lazy folks in the Army painted it for it's trip to the desert.

    To CTIS or not to CTIS

    My CTIS worked flawlessly for about a week, my truck has 6K when purchased and two brand new steer tires. I am betting at least one wheel sensor is bad and two tires tend to leak down after two weeks. My truck was an early 1999 built truck BTW. My opinion would be to leave it off, air the...

    more m35a3 than 5,484

    They sold a lot of high number trucks at that auction, all from Ellsworth. They had 5452, 5468,5472, 5476 and 5477 as well as 5486 and 0050. They averaged close to $7250.00 per truck with buyers commission and tax. They had a winch truck go for only $5762 but it had replaced gages and was...

    more m35a3 than 5,484

    It would not be suprising to find a few more out there, nobody has ever actually answered the question of how many were made.

    M35A3 engine stall

    After the service it just seemed like it had a lot quicker throttle response, a bit more torque and idled better. The guy who worked on it, loved it and was suprised how great it ran. He was a long time Cat mechanic and knew about the problems with the 3116 engines. All of the specs were in...

    M35A3 engine stall

    I too wish it would go 60 but it don't. That being said, spending a ton of money for 7-10 mph seems pretty pointless. I get right at 50mph @2550rpm or so. I got my 500 hour work done for about half of the first quote. Maybe a little shopping around? It can't hurt to ask for the cash price...

    Opportunity knocks***

    Well what is he asking? If you are not interested would you be willing to let a nice guy like me for instance:mrgreen: pay the asking price, shipping and some cash for your labor to get it shipped west?

    Got my first Deuce.

    My brother lives south of there and is freezing his butt off. He has six acres of parking if you need help, PM me for details. I picked a deuce out of there last April and they were very nice to deal with. If it is running and off the lot there is plenty of parking if you head straight...

    Lets see your DEUCE!

    Here is a pic of my set-up. At some point I'd like to create some form of camper with either the truck or trailer. Right noe the truck has too much work to do that. I've been wondering about the possibility of mounting a truck camper in the trailer and what works to keep it secure.

    The Deuce A2 or A3?

    Just a quick comment on the 3116 engine. There are engines with issues, but there are also tens of thousands of engines with milions of miles and hours on them that have had zero problems. As of yet, no one with a deuce has had a single complaint.

    Got my snow plow mounted!

    Hey Plow King, I'm a couple of three miles north as the deuce drives. Above the Cheney/Spokane, highway. I'll have to keep an eye out for an extra deuce when I am out driving around the countryside. Mine is a tan A3.

    Got my snow plow mounted!

    Where do you hide your truck? I have not seen another deuce around town except for the one plowing the shopping center at Shadle and whatever is parked at Army Dave's. Next time is snows like yesterday you might have to drive out to my place, haha. We actually had a county snowplow drive...

    Deuce Quarter-Mile Times & Speed ? ? ?

    Well my trusty A3 has a top speed of 56mph, so 0-60 times are almost out of the question,,hahaha. I did hit 60 on a slight down hill right after I got the truck, it was bouncy. 1/4 miles times? Having never done it offically, I'd still put it in the 20-30 second range. Merging onto the...

    M35a3 question

    Great brakes. Most A3 owners here have had good luck with their trucks, they are low hours and in pretty solid shape right out of the gate. CTIS systems usually suck, when they work they are great, when they die it is best to leave the off and air tires the old fashioned way. Tires are...

    M35A3 Tire Replacement

    My truck had two brand spanking new steer tires and I have two new tires in my shop I got for 200 a piece. I need two more at some point but am going to run my rear tires until they rot. After talking to my brother I am thinking a swap to a commerical 22" rim tire will probably be in my...

    Is this an A3 filter??

    It looks like a standard deuce oil or fuel filter to me, but I have been wrong before.

    How hard to title an a3?

    Washington state was ok with a SF97 and bill of sale, they seemed tohave registered a mil vech before. Of course getting a title is taking forever and a day. They feel that as long as you have registration there is no rush to do the rest of their job.

    New gal from NY

    Some of these guys have never talked to a gurl in real life, don't let the marriage proposals and requests for a picture throw you,,:-P. That being said, this place has just about every OD painted truck ever made covered in one place or another. I'm sure somebody can help on about anything...
