Yeah, it's the same engine and transmission as the other M35A2s. The transfer case is the air shift variety. They didn't go to the Allison auto until they went with the Cat engine in the A3. The increased cruising speed is directly attributable to the 395's. First gear is low enough that the...

It's an '87. One of the late AF trucks with the dual circuit brakes. White multifuel with the D turbo. Driving it about 550miles home, with a stop on the way to pick up a tcase for an 809series truck. Cruising at an indicated 48mph, which should be right about 60 actual. It'll go faster, but...

I acquired it. Am now in the process of driving it from Logan NM to Washington KS...

Presumably all copper wiring in deuces. Aluminum is used in high tension power lines, and other applications not subjected to flexion or where weight is paramount. And also in inferior quality electrical items such as chinese jumper cables and welders.

While aluminum is vastly inferior to copper, it is not generally a poor conductor. 61% the ampacity of copper.

Which TM and where is this procedure described? Should I even consider doing this by myself?

I'll chime in. Another flavor of DRASH. This one has the tank as part of the generator, not part of the trailer. (I suspect the original question was "which trailers have onboard tanks?" ) This type is 20kW.

Resolved. Tcase swap pending. We'll open up the dead one and see what failed and post details. Weeks to a couple of months.

With the propensity these things have for leaking, and the amount of badness antifreeze would cause if it got loose in the tcase, I would advocate heavily to change that.... Not that it's any of my business.

No..... Look for a reman engine in a can before doing that. Edit to add screenshot. Not my ad, just one example for reference.

The cooling loop is not really needed. It may have some utility in sustained operation under high loads in desert conditions, but your tcase is unlikely to overheat with it bypassed. I probably wouldn't pull the tcase apart just to replace the cooling loop. Even though the cooling loop is...

I have a pair of GSS seats. Delivery may be available- I'm driving from Washington KS to Freeport IL next week.

I suggest duct tape.

The offset is different. They stick out the sides more. Thanks, BTW :)

Please post back with your results. I hope to learn from your experiences. Thanks!

Unless you articulate the suspension pretty severely, 16.00s won't contact the bed no matter how heavily you load it. Off road with the suspension all twisted up and they'll contact even with the bed empty. On road, you can load the truck as heavily as you like and you can't make them touch...

395s would be my choice if you don't want to change wheels . They're just a bit shorter than the 14.00s you currently have. No clearance issues. The primary reason to get away from the 14.00s is cost and future availability. The military is still using 395's and 16.00's so there will be a...

I'd change to 395's or 16.00's if replacing all 6. Any tire shop should be able to do it. If you have difficulty finding a shop that's willing, try the places that do heavy equipment or tractors.

My understanding is starter run-on is for sure a bad relay. So we have a pretty solid diagnosis. (Correct me if this is a misconception) If replacing a bad relay, replacing with a higher reliability relay is a good idea. Pre-emptively replacing the weaker relay with one less prone to fail...
