Do you remember if you manually pried the bead around the pipe stub, or did the bead just pop over it? My hope is that I could just jump on the rim again and have it just pop off with the bead popping over the pipe stub without getting caught on it and causing damage. The first wheel I did I...

Is there risk damaging the exposed threaded part of the rim air tube dismounting the tire this way? I was thinking about ways to make this part of the tire dismount easier and can't help but think the tire bead may damage the air pipe where it gets bolted to the rim. The last tire I did I...

It just occurred to me that I got @tobyS confused with @fuzzytoaster , which I realized when tobyS' signature line mentioned the 4x4 A3 :p Navy A3s are news to me, but I'm still an A3 newbie :p There's a Mission BBQ that's going to open soon in Henrietta, NY, and they have an M35A3 parked...

That's pretty awesome! What are the truck S/Ns? I'm curious how late in production they were built and if other Navy A3s were built in the same run. The issues with the AT1545 are well-documented around the forum. The main issue has to do with the control pistons (I think) that control 4th...

I just realized that you said they were Navy M35A3s. I didn't know the Navy even had them, so that's pretty cool :cool:

I've discovered in my wheel work so far that the wheel weights are mounted inconsistently, and the TM doesn't help much either. On some wheels they're on the 3rd stud CCW from the air pipe, and on some wheels they're on the 4th stud CCW from the air pipe. I took a closer look at the TM wheel...

Welcome to the club! Do you know if they came out of the service in that green? I usually don't see A3s in plain OD.

I would take it to your local Allison shop. The Penn Power Group here quoted me $250-$300 to flush the system and fill it with Dexron III. But if you don't want to spend that money, a forum search will spell out the DIY flushing process for you. Automatic transmissions aren't exactly my forte...

Yet another old M35A3 thread. I'm looking for other M35A3 owners in Western NY. I know of two others who are members on this board, but I'm wondering if there's anyone else. I think it would be fun to get our A3s together at the ESATA truck show in Stafford at some point!
