    M35A3 Air tank draining

    Thanks. Does it matter whether the valves are rotated left or right (they seem to turn both ways?) Also...what would it cost to put in automatic valves (ballpark)?

    M35A3 Air tank draining

    How do you drain the air tanks on the deuce? There are 3 oblong valves...do you unscrew them all the way or just turn 90 degrees (ball valves?) How frequently should this be done? Thanks.

    M35A3 Noob questions

    Loving my truck. Few questions though: 1. It seems to have a governor...a hex bolt sticking up under the gas pedal. Should I leave it be, crank it down to allow more pedal movement, or remove it? 2. How important is it to let it idle after running to cool the turbo? Should I do this every...

    M35A3 tires/rims prices?

    New wheels are great. I picked them up from C&C...cost me an arm and a leg but they were brand new with run flats. I've only driven the truck once since I put them on last week and its a nice step up in performance. On a cost benefit basis, though, the jury is still out.

    M35A3 tires/rims prices?

    I just upgraded my M35A3C (avatar pic) to 47" tires and am looking to sell the 7 tires and rims. Five are excellent (95% tread), one has a cracked sidewall, and one is brand new (spare). Came off an Air Force deuce with 4400 miles. What's the going rate for these? I'll list them for sale in...

    CUCV Road Trip and what I learned

    Great post. Where did you get your refurbished seats? Also, I'll need a new dash/console panel as mine is cracked, and a few other interior cosmetic parts any suggestions where to get them? I just got it registered/insured/inspected, and I'll be painting it in a few weeks. Thanks.

    Historic tags for 97 M35A3

    Any way to determine the age of the truck based on the VIN stamp on the frame? Six digit number on data panel?

    Historic tags for 97 M35A3

    Thanks guys. My M35A3 deuce arrived and i'm looking forward to making her a beut. The SF97 form asks for the VIN...i'm guessing this is not the NSN or six digit number on the data panel. Where is the VIN?

    CUCV Camp Shelby Haul

    Hi...looking to haul a CUCV from Camp Shelby to Conshohocken, PA 19428. The vehicle starts but has a flat rear tire and it doesn't look like it has a spare. Could you give me a quote to haul it including loading and unloading? Thanks. Steve

    Historic tags for 97 M35A3

    I've seen some guys tag their 90's A3's with historic plates. It looks like there are some cost savings with title and insurance for doing so. How do you tag a 90's truck as historic? Thanks.

    Wait...my first EUC was sent out about the same time. Are they going to remove my gauges? This is for an M35A3. I figured it would be a couple months since its my first one.

    Make Death Wobble Sticky

    Still new to the site and close to buying an A3. What's confounding me and what seems like a lot of guys is the death wobble. There are a lot of threads on this with many suggestions...why not make a sticky thread with one or more of the veterans offering a list of possible remedies? It seems...
