It could be coming from the bottom of the turbo. There should be a hose to take those exhaust gases down to axle level.

Blown head gasket possibly... How long was the truck running and was it smoking the whole time?

Rick, you are in luck...Chris just happens to be selling this one!

RE: Re: RE: m925 a2 series etc Mike, those trucks in ME are not A2s. There is a big difference. This guy wants to find an M925A2. While I love all of the M939 series trucks, the A2s are a different beast altogether. I suppose it depends upon the truck and the motor, but my experience is...

That makes sense since the motor was turning 2,500 RPM at 50 MPH. That's a bit fast in the RPM department for my liking, but the manual says that the motor should not be rev'ed over 2,700.

I stand corrected, Sir! :wink:

I just read the manual and it states that the CAT motor can run at a maximum permissible RPM of 2,700. I am not sure I'd want to run it up that high for prolonged use. Personally, I think 2,500 is about the maximum I'd want to push it, but I really don't know the truck yet.

READYMAN, yes, the truck came out of IL. A friend of mine spoke to the Staff Sergeant, too. He basically said that they were using the truck until earlier this year and he really did not want to turn it in...but he received the paperwork indicating that the truck had to be turned in and he...

I actually think $20K is a bit on the low side for a nice M925A2. I'd say more like $25K for a nice truck...

James: Beautiful trucks and nice pics. I know who we are going to have to see if/when the truck sales end! You are amassing a serious collection!

Thanks, Kenny!

Does anyone know where I can find one of the later one-piece hoods for an M35A3? I believe they were fiberglass, but I might be mistaken. I will try to take some pics in the next few days. Here are a couple of pics from the auction.

RE: From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book By the way, David, thanks for sharing the info on the truck! When you return, you are welcome to put the truck throught it's paces...

RE: From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book I was one of the people that did not like the truck, but it was based mainly on its looks and the reviews I've read from active-duty soldiers who have operated them. The truck has grown on me. I said it once before...the only way I'd buy one is if I...

I just got my M35A3 home and, after swapping out the batteries, fired her up. Man, that truck is nice! I am not sure why the Army did not warm up to them. They truly seem like a huge improvement over the old M35A2. I have heard that the CTIS was problematic. Fortunately, mine works. The...

I can't wait to see the videos!

Nice looking MUTT, Jason!

I am attaching a few pics of a 4 color M109A3 that I own. I agree, when it is clean, I prefer the 4 color camo over the later 3 color camo scheme. With that said, it is almost impossible to find really clean examples of the 4 color trucks because they most often have been repainted with the 3...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: motor life span The most common failure mode that I've seen is a rod through the block. Let's face it guys, most of us drive our trucks way faster than they were designed. Assuming your truck is stock, if you are driving 55 mph, you are driving your deuce too fast...

Very cool. I HAVE to go next year.
