I am going to grease up my deuce for the first time since I've owned it. It's very long overdue, but better late than never, right? I plan on buying some kind of lithium grease from either Tractor Supply or the local John Deere dealer and hitting the zerks. While I've run both manual and...

Nice jeep! My dad has a 1952 MD awaiting kingpin bearings on the front end. He bought the jeep because it reminds him of the orange CJ-5 he had in high school. I'm glad you took it out for a spin. I'm looking forward to nicer weather and taking the top off my deuce for about the same feeling (y)

Is there any M35A3 data around, or are those too new? I remember CARNAC posting some A3 VINs in the past... I think it would be awesome to see what trucks were recycled, but that was probably never tracked.

Make sure your towing vehicle is big enough. The truck weighs about 14,000 lbs empty.

I have a list of nearly 200 Deuces of all flavors and years that I pulled from the 2009 VIN thread. I think I have enough data for people to date trucks based on the serial number. If that's not what you're looking for, the lists for the other trucks CARNAC has posted here don't offer much...

No, the A3s didn't come with an in-tank fuel pump. I'm wondering if I should try to carefully drain the separator while it's running. Any FMTV guys know? I know the same motor was used in some LMTVs.

I've been doing some more reading about the warmup and it seems like a good idea to idle the truck for about five minutes before increasing engine speed, mainly because the turbocharger needs to have proper oil circulation to prevent damage at higher speeds. I saw a dashboard plate on an M35A2...

I attempted to drain the fuel/water separator on my M35A3. I opened the valve and nothing came out. Looking at the fuel/water separator, nothing sticks out to me that would function as a vent button or anything to release any vacuum on the separator. I ran a small allen wrench through the...

I'm bringing this topic back to life to see how opinions have changed within the past decade. When this was originally posted, HMMWVs weren't being surplussed like they are now. It doesn't seem that parts availability is as big an issue now. My wife wants a HMMWV some day but I want to keep...

This is an engine question in general, although any information regarding the Cat 3116 specifically is welcome. The TM for my truck says that the engine should be at an operating temperature of 160 degrees before applying a heavy load. On a 40 degree day, this takes a half-hour at 1200 RPM to...

I might downsize it myself. I don't think it's much good at 250. I haven't examined the system in great detail, but I'm not sure it can handle anywhere near 200 without breaking something. It took me about an hour total to do because I had to work around some stiff hoses. I managed to reuse...

Did the A3s get winch covers as well? I don't think I've seen modern trucks come with them. The covers really complete the look of winches. My dad got a NOS one for his halftrack and it looks awesome!

The valve is set at 250 psi. This is correct according to the part cross-reference, but wouldn't the air gauge in the cab pop before the pressure gets that high?

I put an extra air safety valve on my truck at the compressor per an Army MWO. The truck was supposed to get it by 2005 but was missed.

I was always under the impression that the M35A3 got the Allison AT1545P later on in manufacturing, and older units were built with the AT545. However, I recently discovered that my truck actually has an AT1545P transmission, dated 1995, along with the transfercase and axles. My truck is S/N...

That's only if I don't use the pre-mixed stuff, right?

This week I'm going to remove the cab heater coil since it is leaking and I want to try to repair it. The unit maintenance manual says that the cooling system needs to be drained for this. I'm tempted to leave the heater valve closed and take my chances, but my real chances are that I'll...

After some digging, I found a web version of the MWO in question here: http://trucks25ton.tpub.com/MWO-9-2320-386-20-1/index.htm So the stated purpose is to add a backup safety valve. Is this redundancy a thing on modern trucks? Also, part numbers are included. I haven't dug deep yet to...
