    Decoding my VIN #

    The 85 is the contract # and it could take many years to complete a contract. The 89 is the year of mfg as far as the AF was concerned... The weight of the M35A2C with winch is 13700 lbs and with the on road capacity of 10000 lbs the GVW is 23700 lbs. Remember that the 2 1/2 ton rating is...

    RE: out The LED dies on some of them, but the system still works... Use your voltmeter on it and you will see...Pulsing only occurs some small fraction of the time... They take a lot of abuse...

    fuel gague question

    Gauges are at the mercy of the float. When you move or bounce, the fuel surges and the float goes up and down, your gauge is dampened, so the move is not immediate, but sedate. It is normal...as the tank is long fore and aft and you get a lot of fuel movement.

    M35 in use questions

    As far as carrying the 5 ton dies, look at the specs for the truck... The carrying capacity cross country is 2 1/2 tons, but on the road is 5 tons...and overloading the gov't specs is routinely done. So long as you don't have too far to travel, such as 100s of miles, you should be fine. In...
