If possible, I would improve the "Banned" notification screen to actually inform the user that they're banned and provide an email address or some sort of information on who to contact if you think the ban occurred in error. For nearly 2 days I thought the site was down as I received a blank...

As noted earlier, in October 2015 (about 1490 miles, 48.4 hours ago), I added a 12V alternator. This required one of the belts from the 24V alternator. With the addition of a pair of 24V air compressors this year, I found out that at full, or near full, load the 24V alternator requires both...

Update: So as I've been driving the truck with the electrical air compressors, sometimes there would be a belt squeal, which would stop when I turned the switch for the air compressors to "Off". I have a 12V alternator above the stock alternator, which required one of the belts to be longer to...

All: Many of the links in this thread are (or were) broken, and I have reported to the Forum Moderators the updated corrected links. Many of the links by shenkmen were referencing this post of his bench top test of a sending unit using an air compressor...

If you run dual 11.00x20 Goodyear G177's in the rear, you are correct, there is no room for chains on the inner tires, you'll likely even have the tire rub the trunnion cap and bolt heads...

I thought that also included replacing all 60 wheel studs too though?

Csm Davis, your message box is full. Will you accept any help covering maintenance costs?

Looks very nice! How do you handle driving your truck to Lodi? Do you have more than a regular driver license? (I've read California requires a greater licensing for 3-axle rigs, even if your license is perfectly fine in the state you're from.)

The military probably would have medically disqualified that person from driving, if not also serving entirely.

Hey Mr. red, it's been quiet, what is the latest news? Have you received any sort of compensation for the very likely bad studs? I take it your truck is still stranded down South? I hope you got home?

A coworker and friend asked me to bring my truck to the church youth group that he leads tonight. I talked about my M35A2, answered questions, and told a couple of stories. A stranger was driving by as I was showing my truck to the youth and he had to stop and talk too. He was a nice fellow...

Looks really nice, clean, and fresh in the pictures! I'd recommend buying troop seats, uprights and bows for it at the same time as those suckers are hard to ship and you'll probably wish you had them later.

Bonedoc, it's been two months, did you get your switch installed? :-D I like seeing what others did and how their lights look too.

I have been disappointed by the lack of pictures in this thread. :whistle: nopics

On Thursday, August 10th I noticed that the water pump was leaking out on my daily driver 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup, but I needed to get an axle from an M101A1 trailer axle to Fastenal to ship to Florida on Friday. The deuce saved the day. It was actually probably a better choice to haul the...

So now you're making a 7 hour drive too! Change that engine oil and filter too ;)

I, uh, I'm adding removable surplus pads to the troop seats. And so can you: http://www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/us-gi-issue-seat-cushion.html More detailed info: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?167360-Valence-s-1972-M35A2&p=2043283&viewfull=1#post2043283

I now have troop seat bench pads, and they are still military surplus and a pretty dang good fit and the perfect color! I will need to make tie down straps, but that should be easy with some buckles and 1" nylon straps. Dimensions: 74.5" long x 13" deep x 1" thick So they're a little long (2...
