Hi Carnac, in the 2011 vin info thread you answered a vin question on my m35a3 and found out that it was rebuilt in 1998 but is there any way of telling the exact year the m35a2 part of the truck was built? I have tried to decipher the vin myself and I think I have it narrowed down between 1972...

Has anyone ever tried Slime tubeless tire sealant in there a3's I used it in three of my tires that would go flat in under one day and now 2/3 of them hold air for more than 3 weeks and one still goes flat in about 2 days now.

Does anyone else have the problem on their a3 about the low air buzzer turning on whenever you make a turn? I recently hooked it up because it wasn't before and now I think I know why. When I turn the steering wheel the air gauge always jumps up and down then the buzzer sounds to tell me that I...

While we are on the topic I was wondering if there is a way to tell when the m35a2 part of the truck was built in order to get it registered as historic. I know that it was rebuilt in 1998 (THANKS CARNAC) but I would like to figure out when it was built in the first place.

is there a way to do it without sending it the the manufacturer?

Does anyone know how to adjust the air pressure that the CTIS puts in the tires on an m923a2? The tires air up to 70psi but with a tank of water on it the tires get pretty flat so I am wondering if anyone knows how to adjust it to 90psi instead of 70.

If I coated the fitting in thread lock glue would that help at all?

I rubbed down the spout with sandpaper and washed it off with gasoline and sprayed it a medium gloss black. the tank itself I just rubbed down with sandpaper and primed it with white rustoleum and the finished color was a nature green.

The inside is in great shape probably because there was still a little fuel in it so rust didn't effect it. If I ever came across any POR 15 I would like to coat the inside just to be sure that it never will rust though.

The other day I went to a garage sale and came across a great buy on an old USMC jerry can. It was only a buck so I thought that even if it leaked it would only be out a dollar so, I bought and tested it and sure enough it didn't leak. So here are pictures of me painting it from start to finish.

The other day I went for a ride in my m931a2 and about two miles into my trip I noticed that I wasn't building air pressure any more so I decided to turn around and go home but just not use any brakes on the way to conserve air in the tanks. When I got home again my tanks were both at about 55...

This is going to be something that I have to do in the near future so can you tell me whether or not these steps are correct? 1 remove the entire rim with the tire still on it from the axle 2 undo the bolts holding the two haves of the rim together 3 remove the tire and beadlock from the rim 4...

Glad you posted this. I will have to tear down two of my rims and replace the o-ring sometime this summer.

I have posted this in another thread, but I haven't found a good way to fix it yet. The problem is that by the air line that hooks up to my front axle switch leaks a lot of air. I tightened up the brass piece but now the air leaks from between the hose and the brass fitting. Does anyone have an...

:funny: rofl

I cleaned it(with some help from the rain), I took apart the rear axle, and I got my low air buzzer working again(which I now sorta regret).:-|

That reminds me, the wheels on half the truck are backwards so when I put everything back together could I turn it around so it is facing the right direction?

Ok, I finally found it. It was located in the hole between the pipe and the rim. How much work is it to repair the leak. I need to unhook CTIS, remove wheel, seperate wheel and rim, switch o-ring, reassemble wheel and rim, put wheel back on, hook up CTIS. did I miss anything?

Would I be able to see if the grommet/ o-ring is leaking with soapy water or is it one of those guess and check moments?

If you guys go to TM 9-2320-386-24P page 120 could you guys tell me what numbers of the parts do I need to replace. ex 11 PAOZZ 5325014375810 2W783 RG22 .GROMMET,NONMETALLIC................ 1
