Welcome back Case! That was one **** of a story! Unbelievable string of bad luck - that is except for you finding and marrying Victoria. You definitely need to plan on attending the GA rally this year. Every year that rally gets better.

I know it's popular to knock the reliability of the CTIS on M35A3 trucks, but I have to say that mine works very well and I've had only one problem. This problem was caused by an idiot in the military mangling the seal retainers on one of the rear axles. A relatively easy fix. However, I...

Hi Russ, Welcome to the site! You will find a lot of good information here and a lot of good people willing to help. I have spent a lot of time over the years working in the UK and all of it enjoyable. I was fortunate enough to visit Pickering during War Weekend a few years ago. A very good...

I saw it in 1970 -71 in M114s, M35s and M715s. I forgot, a few times in a 151A1. Mostly in M114A1E1s though for alerts and training. I was stationed at Ayers Kaserne near Butzbach, but I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time driving to different units scattered around the country...

I just got off the telephone with Erik. The pressure protection valve Gimpy found for sale at Erik's is definitely the one that fits the M35A3, according to Erik. it is a slightly different design, but is the current replacement. Looking at the one on my A3, I believe it will be a simple task...

Navo, you are correct. My valve looks a little different from the one at Erik's. I'm going to call Erik today and make sure it will fit the A3. I'll let everyone know what I find out.

Mine is located on the passenger side air tank facing the outside of the truck but up near the top. Fairly easy to get to when you need to bang on it. I'll have to see how easy it is to replace.

It's worth a lot more. Laying on your back in the mud, snow or rain and banging on that valve gets old very fast.

Gimp, I owe you one! I've been looking for that valve for a long time. I called Erik several months ago and he said he didn't have any.

Navo, I have had the same problems as you with my A3. I've also experienced the same problems AceHigh mentioned. If the problem is the valve AceHigh mentioned, hitting it with a rubber hammer is not adequate. You need to really whack it with steel. At least that's what mine takes when it...

Nice looking truck! I'm glad the recovery went smoothly. Sounds like you were prepared.

Where in Georgia are you located? I'm near Hiawassee in Towns County in the NE Gerogia mountains. I have both an A2 and an A3. If you are near, you are welcome to stop by and go for a ride and drive one or both if you want. If you are interested in MVs, you definitely need to come to the...

Good luck with your surgery. I would recommend calling Delk's (+1 336-629-0991) and find out what they want for a used 60 Hz box. They have almost everything and I've found the prices reasonable in most cases.

Yellow headlights are very popular in France and some other European countries because they cut down the glare from oncoming traffic. A lot of U.S. Army vehicles in France had yellow headlights, especially larger trucks. In December 1966 Charles DeGaulle ordered all U.S. troops out of France...

Did you clean the fuel filters on the fuel pumps? White smoke from a diesel is an indication of lack of fuel. The fuel pump filters on my 003A were highly varnished up and had crud in them.

I sympathize with you. Definitely search for the A2 VIN. It is stamped on the frame just behind the drivers wheel. There are a lot of posts on SS about how to locate the VIN. The stampings are sometimes very hard to read as some of them are light stampings. You will likely need to remove a...

The original A2 VIN should be there. However, you are going to need to convince the State of California to not only change the year of manufacture, but also the model and VIN numbers on an existing title. I doubt you will have luck with that. I'd leave it titled as a 99 A3 if it was me...

I'm glad you got your 003A running OK. Over the years, I've purchased a lot of old equipment, MV and otherwise, that has had old diesel fuel in the tank. I've also noticed that often, the old fuel has a yellowish or orangish tint to it. Sometimes it smells bad, othertimes not. I wonder if...

That looks like a neat charger, but I have no experience with Noco chargers. You might want to google Noco charger problems and see what pops up.
