WW2 jeeps were only expected to last 60 days in combat, therefore they used less steel in their engine blocks and heads I believe. Makes me wonder if there's a chart somewhere 🤔 EDITED to add more context to the jeep's life expectancy.

Maybe it had to do with the contract proposals and the DoD was none the wiser 🤷‍♂️ The M35A3 is the same way - it doesn't have the same Cat 3116 as the FMTV which can do well over 200 HP compared to the A3's 170. It's my understanding that it's all the same block like the two multifuel...

According to a tire size-speed calculator I looked up, going from a 9.00R20 (40" diameter) to a 395/85R20 (46" diameter) adds 15% to whatever the truck's speedometer is showing. So if you have an M35 (not A3) that goes from the stock tires to the 395s you're doing about 58 mph when your...

Is there enough sheet metal on an old oil pan to weld a patch on?
