Ken from Epowersteering.com said they have used this kit on several M35A2s over the last couple of years. He said he recommends putting a 20 amp resettable fuse in line to prevent the Assist motor (estimated at 1 horsepower) from over torquing the original steering gearbox. Also using the...
Hey Jay,
So, since I’ll have to cut the steering shaft on the deuce to install hydraulic power steering, I think I’ll just install the EPAS unit from a Equinox/Vue and see how that works out. I found a control circuit that will control the power output of the assist motor. It’s usually in a...
Thanks! I already have the MRAPs and 395’s, just not on the truck yet. I’m still resurrecting it. There’s a steering gear for a Volvo rig that has the pitman arm sandwiched between the frame rail and the steering box. I just need measurements to see if the box will fit between the wheel and...
Hey! So I’ve been researching this as much as possible to try and avoid this issue. In your opinion, looking at the tires and setup you have, how can this setup be changed to avoid the rubbing? Move the box higher up into the fender to clear or at least give more room? Or move the box back...

Then I can finish my fuel system and get it running at least. Definitely message me and keep me in the loop about get-togethers. Lafayette is supposed to...
Thanks! It had a tanker on the back for the Forestry service that I removed. It needs a lot of clean up and going through every system to get it working properly.
Greetings from Cajun country! I have a 1966 M275A2 that’s a mess and I’m just starting to resurrect it to a functional vehicle. I’ve read a lot of useful information on here and still have a ton more to learn! Thanks!
