    Battery charger warning

    I have a 5-amp 24 VDC charger from Schauer. I use it for my airplane, genset and deuces. It is fully automatic and you can get one for around $75.00. I have never had any problems. For your wiring problem, the first place to start is with the schematic. As 3dAngus stated, all you can do is...

    MEP-003A Batteries

    I have a magnetic block heater for my MEP-003A. Simply place it under the aluminum pan with a block of wood under it. It's actually easier if you use two blocks of wood. Size them so that it presses the heater firmly against the pan. It works great. That being said, I seldom use the heater...

    MEP 003A ch6pl Oil Filter Question

    I would definitley pull it off and put it right. It doesn't take that long and then you know it's OK.

    That truck is too nice not to restore!

    M35A3 Overflow tank sight glass threads

    Mine isn't leaking, but it seems to be worthless as you can't really see anything through the glass. Like AceHigh, I would simply plug it and forget it.

    MEP-003A Batteries

    I'm running Exide Orbitals in mine. They work great and I got them for a very good price directly from Exide.

    BOLO missing truck

    It is felony in Georgia to write a bad check. I would be demanding that an arrest warrant be issued due to the bad check.

    Premium Membership Explained

    I've changed my mind. I initially didn't like the idea of using anything to differentiate between members. The more I think about it, the more I like it because it will likely cause more members to upgrade to 'Premium'. The more members that upgrade = more funds to run and improve the site...

    Line-X or Rhino Bedliner On Underside of A3 Hood?

    I just looked at the specs for Line-X. It is rated for use up to 250 deg F, but they also say that they have a similar product for commercial use that is good for up to 350 deg. F. I can't believe that the hood on an A3 would get over 250 deg F. The next warm day that I drive my deuce, I'll...

    I know they have a lot of problems to keep running, but they do look good!

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I do almost the same thing. I have a 5 foot pry bar that is designed to move heavy machinery. Damaging the stud threads is a real possibility and prying with a bar can get the wheel on without even touching the threads if one is careful.

    Line-X or Rhino Bedliner On Underside of A3 Hood?

    The ability to stand the heat is a very good question. I have Rhino sprayed in the bed of a trailer I have. The color is black and it gets extremely hot in the sun, which is probably a very common problem. I'm not sure how hot it would get under the hood, but the heat is the reason I wanted...

    Line-X or Rhino Bedliner On Underside of A3 Hood?

    As most people know, if you have an M35A3 with an atrocious riveted steel hood, they rust and corrode badly on the bottom side. One factor is the inssulation that is riveted under the hood which tends to trap water. Water also gets under the rivets and under the central band of steel holding...

    I would have loved to get my hands on that! Too rich for my blood though. I hope someone from SS got it.

    Tire Dismounting on A3 Using Tractor With Forks I finally got around to dismounting my passenger side rear tire on my A3 today. I don't know how anyone does this without a tractor with forks. It makes the job extremely easy, both dismounting and remounting. Unfortunately, in my case I...

    It looks like I made the same mistake. I ordered new AM General inner seals/X-rings from Terry McClanahan, which I've used on my A3. I also ordered the following Buna-N O-rings from McMaster Carr: P/N 9452K149 Dash 143 O-ring 9452K158 Dash 151 O-ring 90025K396 Dash 238 X-ring...

    How to disable surge brakes on trailer

    Replacing the shock will likely solve your problem. Disconnecting the brake lines will only make a mess and the MC will be banging in and out as the lunette moves if you don't have a pin installed. I would replace the shock or insert a pin.
