I just noticed that you stated that you run 100% WMO that is mostly filtered. If you are not filtering all of your WMO very thoroughly, you will be looking for a new IP very shortly. IPs are expensive. :sad:

Motomacguyver is dead on with his post. I bought all of my o-rings and X-rings from McMaster Carr and have a lifetime supply. These are very easy to replace once the hub is removed and the TM has very good directions. What I am doing every time I pull a wheel from my A3 is to pull the hub and...

:funny:

When filters are clogging, you get white smoke and less power. There is no way you can get more power by burning less fuel.

I would recommend replacing the start button as well since it has been abused with high current. Or at least have a spare.

What do they make you do to the front unit? Crush it, cut in half, shred? I'm wondering if the de-mil can be reversed?

I'm not sure, but it is likely that the truck needs shocks anyway and they aren't that expensive. I never take my A2 over 52. Running at 50 - 52 is the sweet spot - any faster and it just doesn't feel right. These trucks are over 40 years old but very dependable if driven easy.

I'm glad you made it back safe. The photos of that truck don't look that bad. Are you sure it's bad enough to scrap it out?

That's why I drove mine the 1,000 miles at 45 MPH non-stop. Many many hours freezing cold and a sore rear but, only cost was fuel, replacement for blown tire and service charge for changing wheel. My payback per hour was decent, plus I actually had fun. The other advantage was that I knew a...

Not to answer for Oddshot, but when I replaced my A2 shocks, I used Monroe 34787 shocks, which are sold at NAPA under 76787. They were a perfect fit with 1/2 inch studs. I know others swear that Monroe 66903 is better, but the 66903 only has 3/8 inch studs whereas the military shocks are 1/2...

I recovered an M35A3 from Sparta last January. I couldn't find anyone cheap enough, so I drove it back to GA, about 1,000 miles. Of course, Fort Myers is a lot further.

I bid on two 30D36R 3kw gensets, but they went crazy high.

I've got both. I like both, but so far the A2 has been much much more dependable than the A3, gets better mileage and goes faster. However, I'm keeping both, but don't tell my wife.

When I first recovered my A3 the trans temp gauge hovered around 150 for normal highway driving and about 200 - 225 for stop and go traffic. Once I switched to Dexron III, it dropped to 115 - 225 for normal highway driving. With the Dexron III and short trips of less than 10 - 15 miles, the...

Thanks for handling the shirts this year WM. You did an absolutely fantastic job with the design and everything else involved with the shirts. I know it was a lot of work.

Ditto on the axle housings not being pressurized - or at least they are not supposed to be. From the OP, I couldn't tell if air is coming from the bolt holes or not. If air is coming from the bolt holes or from the axle vent, one or more of the CTIS hub seals is shot. On the oil in the...

That is very interesting. I need to do some research. I've been told by more than one source that 3116 engines do not have sleeves. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

These regulators have a very high failure rate. Either bypass it or replace it. They are an easy to find item and quite easy to replace. This would also be a good time to give one or two squirts of air tool oil into the input side of the actuator.

The CAT 3116 engine isn't a throwaway engine. People call it that because it is a sleeveless engine which means that when it is rebuilt, you cannot replace the sleeves. Most of the M35A3s out there have very little mileage on them and it is very unlikely that most people with A3s would drive...

It looks like it's time for some work then. Or, time to spend some money. Make sure you read the TM on doing this. The wheel/tire is about 382 pounds and can hurt you. Make sure the tire is completely deflated when beginning. When you first remove the CTIS wheel valve, look for differential...
