Regardless of what turbo it has, you will love the truck when you get it. Post pictures when you get it home. Woot!

If it really is an M35A2 it will be turbo charged. If the truck is something else, like an M109A3 (looks like a deuce but has a job shack on the back) then it may not be turbo charged. Do you have a photo of the engine by any chance? Preferably from the passenger side?

LDS turbo came first on the 427 cubic inch multifuel engines. (That's the turbo my truck has) "C" Whistler Turbo was popular in the 60's to sometime in the 70's "D" Non-whistler Turbo from the 70's on out. Not sure of the exact year they changed, but it really doesn't matter because the odds of...

Totally random. The military likes to swap parts with whatever is at hand at the time of maintenance. My LDT-D engine has the old skool LDS turbo on it and the truck was built in 1978.

Sounds like a locomotive horn. :-D

It annoys me that I didn't see this thread sooner. :grumpy: I would love to pick up some of those tires for my deuce.

OD_Coyote showed me a great way to disable the truck. I'm going to use a quick disconnect on the battery and padlock the battery box closed. Someone could still push start it but at least it would stop kids from accidentally starting the truck. One of these would make a great battery disconnect:

End curtains arrive today! Thanks again. :-D

Because I really like this site, and think it could be so much more to so many more people. Is it wrong to wish for good things on something you like?

Seems to indicate it's a needed feature then, doesn't it?

If there is a lack of moderators, why not promote a few old timers to regulate the new forum?

This site really needs a General Discussions forum. As pointed out in this thread, the Conversations forum is to be used for MV discussions only. It would be extremely handy to have one forum dedicated to off topic posts, general discussions and friendly chatting not related to military...

As a fellow M105A2 owner and Washatonian, let me welcome you to the site. Be warned, the trailer won't be enough. You WILL want a truck to go with it. It's only a matter of time. :-D You can kind of see my M105A2 behind Goliath:

PM sent!

I still need a set. Just need to work out my finances for the next couple weeks to see if there is enough cash to afford it. (stupid recession) Any idea what shipping would be to zip code 98072?

Very cool Chris! Hope to see the truck in person with those new tires. :-D

Wow, that truck is well equipped. I see you even have wiper washers. Nice! :cool:

I located mine in the tool box because it was originally in a cardboard box under the passenger seat and slid around when I was driving on bumpy roads.

I bought mine from Olympic Controls. Highly recommended!

Wow, that's a beauty! Congrats. :-D
