    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    Polyurethane paints were never intended for use on parts exposed to temperatures greater than 250F and only for short term exposure. This same caution applies to all paints. CARC coatings are not applied to any untreated surfaces. The use of a primer is required. Anodized aluminum...

    Unloading my new M35A3

    The M35A3 will have either an Allison AT545 or a AT1545 transmission. Just about any school bus that has an auto transmission uses this transmission. As mentioned, just Google up Allison AT545 transmission, lots of hits. Same for Ebay. Do yourself a favor, have the transmission serviced...

    What model trailer is this ?

    Appears to be an early version of an 1101/1102 trailer. Probably has a steel bed verses the aluminum one used on the 1101/1102. It's got 8 bolt HMMWV wheels and bias belted tires.

    Removing traces of gov liquidation

    CARC paint has the texture of 150-180 grit sand paper. While you can remove the GL grease marker from the peaks, the valleys still hold the remains. Using a polishing compound to remove the marker would effectively remove the paint also. A mixture of MEK and mineral spirits and a stiff...

    2642 miles in 3.5 days in an M814 Ohio to Washington State.

    I know it's late on the left coast, but in post 9 he stated that he purchased 419.318 gallons of fuel. With the trip being listed as 2642 miles, that works out to 6.3007073390600928173844194620789 miles per gallon, if thats close enough. Now where is that tongue in cheek emoticon?:beer...

    M101A2 "Features"?

    1993 or up in year of manufacture or remanufacture would be correct for a M101A3 trailer. The remanufactured trailerwon't have the 4 inch frame, but will be retro fitted with the drop axle an the 6 leaf spring pack. In M105A3 trailers, 1997 was the first year of manufacture for this trailer...

    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    If the vehicle has CARC applied, there will be a stencil indicating the date of application. No stencil, no CARC. Vehicles that were built prior to 1987 or so would have been either field or depot CARC'd. I've worked on testing or applications of CARC coatings for almost 25 years. The Army...

    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    The PR-3500 stripper that I mentioned is safe for use on aluminum and will not harm the anodized aluminum. You will have to use some type of conversion coating prior to the application of paint unless you use an acid based wash primer prior to the specified epoxy primer. AM General will...

    Is there any interest in a cummins Allison swap

    The 5.9 Cummins would be a very good swap. All the power you ever wanted/needed. Lower cost parts, and an easy hook-up. The Allison 545 wouldn't be since it lacks an overdrive gear which limits the top speed to around 53 mph with stock 9.00x20 tires. The M35A3 with stock singles tops out at...

    101 stacked on 101?

    Stakes should be 1 1/4 X 1 3/4" by what mdmorgan posted and make them 18"long. Take a small hand saw with you and cut the stakes so that they stick out of the pocket by a couple of inches.
