The paint is great - the cans are junk. I found that I have almost no clogs if I invert the can several times during the spraying and clear the nozzle. However, my big problem is that the nozzles leak and liquid paint accumulates on the top of the cans. When the can is tilted, the paint...

I would raise both front wheels off the ground and make sure everything turns freely. As others have said, it isn't likely it is a steering box issue with your symptoms.

:funny:

One of my hub seal retainers (inner) was badly damaged by someone in the Army. I went ahead and replaced both the inner and outer. The hub seal retainers are held in place by the bearing races, so I had to drive out the bearing races with a brass drift. The inner race was a ***** to get out...

Good luck with yours. It is actually not that difficult to work on. You should check out this thread. M35A3 rear wheel bearing packing, with photos I've spent most of my time waiting on parts to arrive. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I needed until I got it apart.

Time for an update. I located new hub seal retainers. I removed both bearing races and hub seal retainers. I was amazed at the damage I found on the inner hub seal retainer, along with a small amount of damage to the inner surface of the hub itself. Someone in the Army really did a number on...

Congratulations on a good recovery! I sounds like you got one of the good trucks. Have fun with your new toy.

GL lists virtually all A3s as 93 models. When you get your truck, look at the date code tags on the axles and any other place you can find and you can narrow down the actual manufacturing date. What many don't realize is that when you apply for the SF97, the date that comes back on the SF97 is...

Ditto on the seats - I may be interested.

I would seriously think that if you were supplied with written documentation from AM General affirming that the truck is indeed the very first M35A3 produced, that it would be worth more money than any other A3. If the church has it for sale, I would recommend that they stress the fact that it...

Ditto. If you hit something with a wheel, even something small, it will cause the wheel to spin exactly as you described. That's why you never get your fingers or hands inside the spokes. You can break an arm, etc. I learned my lesson years ago with a dislocated thumb. Also, if you have the...

You mentioned that you had the problem before replacing the starter. Unless your luck is extremely bad and you are experiencing two bad starters, you need to look elsewhere. I hope you didn't dispose of the original starter, because it is probably still good. Start by removing all battery...

My A3 has a VIN of 503726. Axel and most other date codes are mostly early 98 and the winch hydraulics are dated 12/97. I registered it as a 98. After S/N 504923 in 1998, all trucks produced had composit hoods.

I use a very thin film of Vaseline on the rubber. If everything is lined up properly, it should slide in without difficulty. I always start at the drivers side, but that's not important. For the door channels, sometimes the fabric will overhang the rubber and try to go into the channel as...

nopics You can get a good idea of the re-manufacture date by looking at the date codes on the axles and anywhere else you can find them. That is the date I used for registration purposes. Have fun with your truck.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers from North Georgia!

Good luck on the recovery! Check out the brakes - the most important part of the truck. Have fun!

Mine is very difficult to get to. I would recommend removing it, taking it apart and cleaning everything thoroughly. If it does have a gasket, which it most likely does, you can make a new gasket. If it can't be repaired, replace it with a new pressure relief valve.

Best to bring flip-flops for that shower. Anyone see the chocolate candy with nuts scattered around on the wet floor in the puddle by the toilet last year? I almost ran out the door until I figured out what it was!

I would change the oil out in any event for GL-1. In my opinion, this probably won't help, but it should be changed anyway and you can look for metal fragments in the drained oil. Then, assuming the drained oil is clean, try the shift tower offered by 91W350.
