Out of all of the M35A3s that have been released over the last few years, I can only remember one truck that was truly in rough shape. If they are just integrating the A3s into the Reserve and National Guard units, why are such cherry trucks coming out? The trucks that came out of PA recently...

Take this for what it is worth...a rumor from a fairly well placed source...but I heard from the same guy that told me about the M35s and related variants being out of the system by early next year, that all of the M809 series trucks will be out of the system by early 2010. I suspect that...

I just got mine. Eric is a great guy to deal with and I am VERY happy with the ladder I got. It was just as he described.

Check with HALFTRACK (Jason)...he's got all kinds of stuff and, if he does not have it, he may know who you should check with. He lives near New Orleans.

The only unknown factor in the equation is how quickly DRMS/GL can liquidate the trucks. Just based on the volume of trucks coming out so far this year, and also based on things such as the last poster's info, I'd say the end is near.

Mike: The larger tires that some guys are putting on their trucks might help your cause a bit. I am not familiar with their use so I can't offer an opinion. Perhaps, JWALLER and RIZZO (among others) can chime in with some of their experiences. I think I've heard of guys running 1400s on a...

Read any post to which she responded and there will be a PM button below her post. I know she has PM because she has PM'ed me before.

The bullet hole might have been self-inflicted. I once owned a HMMWV that had two bullet holes through the floorboard on the passenger side that looked consistent with an M16 round...or so a friend that does ballistic testing for the military told me.

I don't believe you'll find a commercial trucker who is willing to pull/tow the trailer home for insurance reasons. I have asked and been told just this. You will probably have to get it loaded onto a trailer to get it home. Now, if you can find a guy with an M818 or M52, they might be...

Mike: The truck you are looking at has 1100 X 20 Michelin XLs so, right off the bat, you are ahead of most other deuce owners when it comes to off-road capabilities.

I am guessing the guy bought them as scrap. Apparently, it is easier for the govt to rid itself of scrap than by selling the trucks individually. I will add that I believe, if trucks are sold as scrap, they have to be scrapped. In other words, if these trucks were sold to this dealer as...

FREIGHTTRAIN has already hit on what I would have said...width and turning radius. Plus, with no power steering, it is difficult to turn the steering wheel when you are in tight and are not moving.

The first sentence should have read "...early next year."

I have been told that ALL M35A2s will be out of the system by early year. By the numbers flowing out this year so far, that may not be far off the mark. I would be shocked if there are any M35A2s or related variants in the system in five years, with the possible exception of the A3s. However...

CRASH_AF: He is referring to the Freightliner trucks, I believe, NOT the BMY produced M939A2 series trucks.

1stdeuce: If you sleep with the devil, you are bound to get burned. Keep dealing with GL and you will definitely get screwed in some manner. For every one person such as yourself that has had a great GL experience, there are dozens that have had terrible experiences. Good luck with your...

I would bet those tires are Michelins, not Firestones. I've never seen a Firestone produced XL tire. The tires are non-directional, but I always mount mine so they are facing the "correct" way.

Most of these trucks have more mileage that we want to believe. Don't ever trust the odometer. There are more important indicators of wear than mileage or hours. Check the seats, the brake pedal, the door hinges, how the truck runs, the condition of the exhaust, etc. I had an M1028 with only...

I agree with HOLE...the less you tell the DMV, the better.

RE: M62A2 JATONKA: I had an M543A2 that whistled pretty well. I don't want to say that it whistled like a deuce with a C motor, but it definitely whistled more than a deuce with a D motor. By the way, above I said the motor was an LDS4651C, I meant to say "1A" as JATONKA has correctly...
