RE: Re: RE: Fuel milage w 465-1d M35A2 W/W I have an 06 F350 dually crew-cab (6.0 PSD) with the tow-boss gears (4.30:1) and stock 245/75-17 tires. I get about 16.5mpg at 65, and over 18 at 55mph (about 12 in town). Gets about 9.5 mpg towing my 30 foot toy hauler loaded (about 12K). Never had...

I'm getting about the same in my deuce...this is with an LDS-465-A motor (5-ton). The motor is fresh (some 500 miles on it) and the truck is still running stock 9.00x20 NDCC tires. I wonder what the milage will be when I get the 14.50s mounted...

Maybe Enjoyable to "Drive" and "Play" are two different things. Deuce does not have power steering (well, some may have air-o-matic refits installed). In town they are a bear (yeah, yeah, 70psi in the front tires helps). However, they are smaller (relatively) and easier to maneuver...

I just bought a set of 14.50R20 Michelin XLs from them. Quick, easy, had the tires (to Oregon) in less than a week. $150 each (+s&h). Great company...highly recommended.

There's a few over there that aren't on the map...I know that much. One near Milton Keynes that I know of for sure (we've chatted before). Where abouts in Gloucestershire are you located? With fuel prices being what they are today, I would take that into consideration when making the...

Al, There's a few Brits online here. Check out the locater map: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=GoogleMap Good luck with getting that truck. It would help us to identify it if you could get a few more pics of the dataplates on the dash, and maybe a few shots from under the hood...

Gear oil is not heavy enough for the bearings in the rockwell axles. They need to be greased and kept greased. See the following PS mag articles http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?set_albumName=album11&id=ps264_p38_39_breather_valves&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php (bottom of page 39)...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: hyd power steering info What about those of us with M35 frames built in the mid/late 80's?

Re: RE: M35A3 wheels on my truck! Even rarer... Give Mike at OD Iron a call...he can make you up a set of wheels for a lot less.

Wow! Great post! Just a few differences for mine (1988 M35A2C) that I thought I would throw in: small horn button No front pintle hitch No vinyl seats No evaporator (could have gone when new engine was swapped in) Plastic battery box NATO slave cable (clearly installed after delivery) I think...

:roll: Put away the photoshop before someone gets hurt...

RE: Re: RE: Look how clean this 1999 M35a3 is on GL It looks like there is only one "M35A3" on GL right now. Easy to find...

RE: Can Before chasing ghosts, I would do a full tune-up on it. It's much better to debug engine problems when you have known good parts. Also make sure you have good fuel in the tank (never trust the old stuff). Hook up a vacuum gauge that you can use while driving (plumb it into the intake...

Pretty much if it's an '88, it should be USAF (most likely). Note also that the bus parked next to it is painted USAF blue, so that's another good sign that it came from an AF base (assuming they all came in to the DRMO lot at the same time). I haven't seen flappers on anything other than USAF...

Very nice. What is that orange cylinder under the hood? Ether start kit? Nice... I thought mine had low miles...wow. Snag it...you'll be glad you did.

All the parking brake will do is make a lot of smoke...

Everything you could ever want to know about the G742 series trucks: http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Catalog-U-S-Military-Vehicles/dp/087349508X/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product Page 129 has the info on the M36 (190" wheelbase) trucks.

There is going to be a national MVPA convention in Portland August 14-18th at the expo center. Check out the MVPA site for more info.

Here's the flightline sticker (I had a spare): If you look at the pics that Kenny posted of that 87, you can just see said sticker below the blue warranty plate. I'm trying to secure a stack of these from some contacts I have at a local base that is closing...if I can get them I will make them...

Man that's cool! I can't wait to get mine out on the sand dunes here in Oregon...
