    Reliability A2 Vs A3

I have the A2 for it's multifuel capabilities and because it's fun to drive a manual vehicle. The A3 is very comfortable to drive and the Mrs. can handle it well. As Wildchild states; you need...

    Stomped on brakes and blew something. .

    Won't be to difficult to trouble shoot, fluid on both sides of the wheel leads to a bad wheel cylinder assembly. Please check the rest of the system if recent service has not been accomplished. Age is the common denominator.

    Another Fuel Tank Thread

    Be careful with he red slime in the tanks, it is microbrial growth. Do not get in an open cut, mouth, or eyes. It will get you very ill. If is not completely killed off it will continue to grow and contaminate the fuel system. Acetone will kill it, clean and use a product like Bio Bore in the...

    M35a2 dilemma

    Just caught up to this thread, nice find, I also have a hard time parting out a good running truck. Pull off what you need for your good truck and keep it running for a woods truck, like you said; for when the kids want to drive something and get it dirty and you won't mind a dent. JC

    New guy from Indiana.

    Welcome from the Bluegrass state. A lot of MV guys and the MVPA in Indiania. Look at M101 or M1101/02 trailers. They may still be big for a Jeep. Get a deuse or 5 ton, problem solved. JC

    New M816 in MO need help and advice.

    My M813 likes to cruise @52 mph. The M816 weight will keep that a little slower. Biggest concern is the brakes, keep an eye on the m/c and look it over for any leaking wheel cylinders. Check for a mushy/spongy brake pedal. M809 brakes in good order will stop the truck on a dime. Drain the water...
