USAFSS-ColdWarrior:
Did you guys ever figure out if there are weight and mileage/use limitations with that registration? I carry a copy of the codes for military vehicles in both of my trucks, but they were registered before I knew of the exemptions as...

NO need for reading glasses with the size of the instruction sheet drawings, John Hancock!8-) I noticed that with every DoD kit for the deuce that the drawings are huge, wonder what it cost to do those even for the rifle mounts? I love the Air O Matic I got from...

Maddawg308:
Take it to any reputable auto glass/house glass shop and they should be able to take it apart and install a new glass for you cheaper then the going EBAY windshield rate. My truck had a crack in the corner of the driver's windshield when I got her...

From the dashboard shot, I'd say you'd need at least a Pilot's license to drive the critter!!:razz: Man, it would take years to figure out how to start the machine, much less drive one....aua

Professorpg:
Congratulations on the win, all I can do at present is look and drool (some people say I drool (or droll) constantly, but that's another story for another time):shock:. However, you will find the SEE a most useful machine, but a not very fast truck (at least...

MADDAWG308:
I wish to thank you for the video of the stripped bridge truck at that tractor pull..... THAT guy did it with what, just a spare tire on the frame? I guess that the bridge truck's longer wheelbase might have helped also, but track conditions and tire conditions...

:D AND you guys thought we could let a subject line like the one on this thread post pass?
It cries out for advice on different subjects, and pyschoanalysis around here is FREE! (We're all probably psycho in some manner....:twisted:)!

M35A2:
RE picture 5 of the engine bay. At the 3:00 position on your auir clearner is a capped line after what appears to be a bourdon loop, with the plugged tip pointing forward....(My truck doesn't have this particular line, but there is a goosenecked copper vent line in...

Such Angst over a dipstick! Herr Dr. Freud would have told you that all anxieties are related to performance, and size is important!.......:twisted: It's no major thing to straighten a dipstick, and if you get good at reading your dipstick, you will figure out when...

Permit me to express my deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. These occurances often make us wonder what the plan is, and why such things have to happen, but the Supreme Architect does have a plan and we must do our parts to fit in, though we don't see the end of...

I'll weigh in on the side of the Unimog almost 99.9999% of the time. Why? I've had lots of American light and heavy duty trucks from a 1951 Ford F6 dump, to a 1985 Chevrolet S-10 (a very big mistake), to a 1989 Ford F250 4X4 that was an exceptional truck and an oddball from...

I had a set of 5 G177 1100R20 M+S for my Unimog and I chose not to cut the fenders to mount them, so i sold them to one of our members in ARK for his bobbed deuce.[thumbzup] If I could have come across two more 95% tread copies, I would have singled the deuce, as these...

M35A2:
I believe a few of the members here have answered your questions, perhaps better then I can. The Air Shift uses an independent air cylinder to pull in the front axle clutch, and a resturn spring incorpiorated in the unit releases the clutch when the air is exhausted...

M35A2:
The deuce with Spraugue unit system is designed that all 4 sets of rear tires drive all the time. Unfortunately the corollary is that on tight turns on pavement the deuce tries to swing about the 2nd axle, scuffing the rear axles tires terribly. The Sprague is...

Scootertrs:
Could it be a possibility that your truck might have 5th gear still in it as an underdrive gear? The normal top end of an unconverted M35A2 with 5th as an underdrive should be in the 44-45-46 MPH region, if what all I've heard and read is correct...

Guido:
Let's hear more about the CCKW :drool:and the 60CM railroad tracks under the truck (guessing guage, I could be off).[thumbzup] Because Australia was part of Her or His Majesty's Dominions of old, there may have been some tendency to reutilize the 60 CM (1'-11-1/2")...

OL AG '89:
The section on the Texas code used to be on Olive Drab under vehicle registration or some such. I carry copies of the codes in my truck cabs, but so far, having been to OK and TX, none of the cops have bothered me due to the truck plates and license sticker in...

Old goat:
Air-o-Matics always vent from the actuating cylinder when the wheels are returned to center from either direction. Likely the malfunctions you guys are having are minor, perhaps too much grease has gotten in somewhere it ought not to have, but as...

M35A2:
The triangular ears on the front hubs may be additional lifting points, but as I am most familiar with the M35A2's, other members here will likely chime in with the information you need. Personally, I am more taken with the air shift modification to the transfer...
