. Good Deal!! Nice way to start. Especially as a mechanic.

. Welcome to the Outfit! From what I have been able to find, it seems the earliest M35a2 dates back to 1967. Lots were built by Kaiser Jeep back then. Be sure to visit the Technical Manuals (TM's) section and download the books on how to repair and diagnose your New-To-You truck. Chances...

. Absolutely!! Nice toy to have too...

. Like @DieselAddict said, ground it. The reasoning is pure simple safety and logic. There really aren't but two choices: 1. Drive (and test) the ground 2. As the human, YOU can be the ground (bad for your health) Humans being mostly water and maybe on damp grass or dirt conduct electricity...

. @cucvrus , I sure hope you have some sort of blade to spread that rock around... Happy chipping and stay dry if you can.

. Dang right! If you have a trailer to haul it home on - that beats doing roadside mechanical work any day of the week!

. On the left (driver side) frame rail behind the wheel/tire

. The manual way... Remove the tire, remove the hub, knock out the bearings and manually grease them. Remember too that the military has a parts crib full of spare parts - while you have to go to the store or order on-line. (or try to knock the old seals out carefully and hope nothing gets...

. North Carolina for example requires a tag and the insurance is inherited from your vehicle. South Carolina doesn't require a tag. You will need to comply with "the rules of the road" in your state.

. There is an old saying that "self bragging is half scandle" but in this case, you really need to nominate your truck. You know more about it than we do, and in the monthly contest, when @papabear shuts down the nominations you need to campaign for your truck to get votes. You know, what...

. Got to remember that the Army has more manpower than most construction companies. Those neat grease fittings on commercial trailers hubs aren't on military trailers...

. Nice piece of information @Zed254 ! Thanks for sharing.

. Yeah! Thanks @Floridianson !!

. Might be the cheapest fix you ever did to a MV. And it makes more difference than most things too! Congrats and happy that you got them replaced...

. Doesn't show you much, but there is a door behind the speed gauge that holds the paper. Square hole to turn the paper and a series of pens for speed and rpm. If somebody has a 915, 916, or a 920 maybe they could snap a picture of it open...

. Thanks @SCSG-G4 Who says you should READ THE TM's? Like maybe in the -10 where it tells you that the bilge pumps operate only when the engine is running? Was that important? CRITICAL INFORMATION can be found in those crusty old books... .

. We have a nominations thread that pops up on the first day of the month. @papabear runs that operation for the group. Link for March 2022 is below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mv-of-the-month-march-2022.208043/#post-2429539 Then on the 15th day of the month, the nominations...

. That is definitely an adventure!

. Better and better... Gotta hear this thing going "Udden Udden"...

. Not really sure how it is supposed to work, but back in the day when companies treated their employees a little better - the tachograph was used to measure the rules - but also was used to verify new routes. Carolina Freight (now defunct) used them on everything. So long as the driver and the...
