    Air-O-Matic adjustment

    You should never try to turn the wheels while the vehicle is stationary. This is true for all vehicles as it places significant stresses on the steering system components. Jack the front end off the ground and cycle back and forth. I didn't use MMO, i used air tool oil exclusively and i added...

    Air-O-Matic adjustment

    The Air-O-Matic on my M35A3 is installed the same as your photo. Not sure if it really makes a difference which way it's installed as long is it's plumbed correctly. However, I've attached Bulletin 82809 from Air-O-Matic which specifically states that "The rotating end of the torque valve is to...

    MEP 003 Need Help.. Fuel Not Priming

    Before you do anything else, do as Doghead said and clean all filters on the fuel pumps and replace the large fuel filters, Fram C1125PL. You can also replace the filters on the pumps, but these are very expensive and hard to find. They are relatively easy to clean. You should also flush out...

    RED diesel fuel?

    I had a friend that paid dearly in Alabama when his pickup was checked and he had offroad in it. They check the color, not the composition. Remember also that the fine is for not paying road taxes. Remember, there were no road taxes paid on ATF either. Offroad is plentiful in rural areas...

    A3 transmission questions

    You can definitely exceed the engine red line in an A3 and it is very easy to do.

    A3 transmission questions

    There is no slipping in an A3. The 1545 transmission locks up.

    M923a3 Cargo Cover restoration

    It sounds like the Dulicolor paint is designed for interior use from your description. I would recommend contacting the Dulicolor technical serivice group and ask the question if it is good for exterior use.

    "Marble in blender" sound

    I agree. Sometimes sounds can fool you by sounding like they are coming from one place, when actually the sound is actually coming from another place. That being said, you might want to drop the oil pan and check inside.

    M715 (not telephone truck) Maintenance Truck

    I remember we had some of those when I was in back in the early 70s, but I never drove one and never looked inside the box. I loved the M715s i drove, but I remember they had some issues with camshaft lubrication and the transfer cases overheated. They were a very good off-road vehicle. Neat...

    M101 - Landing gear lean, is this normal?

    I looked at the TMs I have on both the 101 and 116 trailers and the leg is shown as vertical in all of the drawings I saw. Also, if you look at the bottom of the foot, the foot doesn't set flat against the ground if the leg is tilted.

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    I've got my truck mostly loaded tonight, but still need to stop by and pick up ice, drinks and food at the Ingles in the morning. Jim Reese and I should be arriving at DT sometime after noon in our deuces. I decided to bring my Polaris ATP this year, along with an ATV trailer I would like to sell.

    No, but I did try mothballs. Worked great in repelling the wife. Ammonia might work even better!

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    You guys that arrived early are killing me. Here I sit working my tail off and two more days before I can leave. I haven't even decided which truck I'm bringing. I will be towing my M149A2 water buffalo this year and dropping it off at Clintos after the rally for some PM he's helping me...

    Winter storage ,keep the critters out of the cab.

    Peppermint oil works great as long as you get good quality peppermint oil. My last bar of Irish Spring soap got eaten by the mice. At first I thought it worked, but not after they started eating it.

    Atlanta Agent needed

    In Georgia, a Class C license is not legal to drive the truck. You would either need a Class B or A CDL or a Class E.
