The 3-lever switch is a work of art. However, there are many ignorant of such offerings...and they are always in a hurry. Maybe dock their pay for every dead battery instance. Less work for you.

Wise words!

Does Ouverson make just one set of gears to lower the ratio or two sets? Being double reduction, just curious.

Is one a gasser with the leRoi?

Next thing will be "Where can I buy disc brake kits for my M35? Ka-ching!$$$

The real estate for the trans (and engine) in the truck is just very small. That is what make an exchange very troublesome, as it requires the relocation of the transfer and modifications of the drive shafts. Every gearbox I've seen is larger than the Spicer 3053A. I even successfully used...

I suppose no thermo is better than a stuck one. They usually operate with an ether ampule or some eutetic metal spring. I was taught if it stuck, pull it and block it to stay in the open position and put it back in. It might run cold then, but a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator...

Two things: 1..Air shift transfer! 2..They don't make 'em anymore.

The reason the M35's hung around a long time is one can flip the switch and go without the problems plaguing the newer trucks. Mission capable is how they refer to vehicle status.

No thermostat will let an engine run hot, it needs one for it's diversion properties.

As a bobbed truck uses front springs in a rear Hotchkiss suspension, axle travel is usually less than as with tandems. Size the driveshaft to give about 1/2" free space upon full bottoming. Just make sure you have enough in there when unloaded and bouncing around so as not to have it come out!

Star surrounds were only used during WW2.

At 12' wide, you own the road. Laws? We don't need any stinkin' laws!

Life with 16.5 wheels? Nah.

My M54A1 w/14.00-20's does 59.9 mph @ 2100 rpm (governed Mack ENDT-673 & GPS readout). Very tiring, just maintaining the concentration necessary on good roads up there. 55 is much more comfy.

Wouldn't trade mine for a newer job. Nope. G744

Not much new under the sun...

Or nothing quite like a Detroit 2-53 running at high idle with a straight pipe. They are inversely proportional, size to noise ratio. The Freddy Mercury of Diesel noise, no? D

That's why I said to make a suitable cage just in the cab. Kinda like spacecraft with a capsule; don't try and save the whole rocket If the cab sheared off partially or completely, the occupants would still be in a hardened safety zone. I've seen how older 5-ton tacticals look after a...

Looks to be one hot rig you've got there, lol. DG
