That sounds like an excellent mod the government should have implemented.

Ditto on the fuel filters

A friend of mine gave me a lead on an M3A1 halftrack in a old salvage yard. I followed his directions and found the wrong salvage yard, which only had an old M37 W/W. Unfortunately, the M37 was missing the winch and the body was basically a 'screen', being a rusted-out hulk. I talked with the...

Welcome to the site! You have one very sharp looking CCKW!

You have a very sharp looking 1/4 ton. They are a lot of fun to drive and actually very safe if driven properly.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! There are a lot of us up in North Georgia with MVs. You definitely must come to the Georgia Rally October 10 - 14. Several of us convoyed to the 2011 rally from North Georgia and I suspect we'll do the same this year.

Drew, I can't believe anyone on SS would send you an angry message. It was absolutely obvious that the site had been hacked. Thanks for the good work and definitely keep V.

Ditto!

You're welcome to ride down in my A3 with me if you'd like. Hiawassee is about 4 hours from Butler, so you'd save about two hours driving round trip.

I hope your dog is OK.

TD is correct. Gl-5 should not be used with yellow-metal, which means it should never be used in the transmission or transfer case of a deuce. GL-5 has additives that are very corrosive toyellow metal. I use GL-1 in my transmission and transfer case as it has zero corrosive properties.

I don't know about the laws in California, but in most states a Class C license is all that is required to drive a deuce because it does not have air brakes and is under the weight limit. My total annual tag and taxes on my 98 A3 are $43.00. To me it makes no sense to register the truck other...

All M35A3s built after VIN # 504923 came from AM General with composite hoods. This occurred in 1998. Does your truck have a composite hood or a steel hood?

I determined that my A3 was a 1998 by the tags. I looked at all three axle tags, the winch hydraulic tag, and several other tags. My tags were all Nov 97 - Feb 98 and mostly in the Jan - Feb 98. I then put 1998 on the SF97 application so mine is now titled as a 98.

Nice looking truck! What is that on the passenger floorboard?

As Carl said above, when you start, the solenoid actuates. Sometimes they will stick. Turn the power on, and then physically pull down on the solenoid. Mine used to stick periodically when I first got it, but I cleaned the linkage with carb cleaner and then lubricated it, which eliminated the...

Something personal came up and I couldn't make it. I hope everyone has a good time. Maybe next time.

I live on a gravel / dirt road that is mostly large rocks and potholes. Everytime I drive down the 1/2 mile road, I can feel the cab flexing and screeching, even when I keep it down to 2 - 3 mph.

I'm leaving Hiawassee at 0700. I'm leaving early because my A3 only goes 45 and I'm staying off the interstate. The 57th Fighter Group is 104 miles from where I live.

Ditto! Even with the plate installed in the cab, there is a lot of flexing of the cab with that heavy ring up there. You will tear up your truck for sure if you don't have the plate installed.
