Alternative uses as trailer or is your goal to keep it kitchen? One mod I like is Bolster wheels with hummmer tires.

I have to admit not spending much time on m35a3 air system and will have to before long ( in rebuild and 4x4). I guess I'll have 2 brake air packs and air assist steering. I'll. Be putting on an auxiliary tank for some tools too. Do you have any idea on the quantity of air or would that...

Since this is opened back up...why put a big dryer on a deuce? They don't seem to have much air useage.

Easy to get to, right on US 31. Is this an "open" meeting? I'm a mile south of there?

We have done well at rebuilding the 1545 and at reasonable prices, The 545 is plentiful and rebuilding them can use the high performance 4th from 4l80e Do I have to go 65.....no...But on my 4x4 with 50/50 brakes, I think it could be safe and fuel efficient for longer trips on today's roads...

Wes's link goes to a place in Virginia. You may want to ask them for a quote.

If you were 4x4, changing front and rear ratio and putting in air locks, would be way cool and use the 1545. Maybe Derrik has that core and you put the high performance "direct" clutch of the 4l80e with steel Piston. Even the locking tc can be improved. Edit....had in mind this was an...

Like said above, pay attention to the center of gravity and have a few hundred pounds tongue weight. You may need a space so it is not against the bed front, like 12". Plan on a serious long tongue modification and keep the surge brake. Here is a mod I did to lock out the surge actuator...

Why not add a second pump and a check valve?

I can't reply to why this is happening but I think "caging" the brake, will release it. Of course it is entirely inoperable then, but it might give room to get it apart.

I started off dedicating an 1101 to my S788 camper project but went ahead and made a trailer with a Dexter axle. Yours will look better painted....and/or on the back of an HMMWV.

Use the edit function. You can even edit the title...like to add "sold" or ???

Not possible. I drive too far onto my soft dirt when filling a hole (backing onto the pile) and need it in muck for both backing and then especially forward when loaded. Loads of the muck are a one shot deal, like working on top of a bowl of jello. If my fuel was turned up some, it might do...

Then even though it is turning the output of the Allison and the back end of the tranny, it is not turning the engine side with the pump to stay properly lubed. With no pressure, the Allison may not know what clutch to engage. Maybe it could try to go into two gears at once... just...

Does the transfer case have a neutral, so it does not turn the Allison from the rear end?

Take a look at post 8 and run a straight line between the input and output shaft. The center shaft is almost in line and when the output is stopped, it makes the center (gear) try to climb the input gear, forcing the case apart. While I don't know for a fact, I'll bet that the T-138 is not as...

You might want to look at this thread to get an idea what happens. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/backup-in-low.197150/#post-2299531

I understand the size issue...that's why I'm working on an M35A3. I like the Cat and have learned a lot about the tranny...... but still the slow speed is my nemesis. If I hit the lottery, I'll change gears AND put air lockers in both ends. The 50/50 split brake made the A3 my choice to modify.

Got it. I didn't know the front engaged at any time it is put in low. Therefor there are two air valves in parallel and by trimming it, the TC front will no longer activate by the one that hits the washer. So capping the air line and removing the valve is also an option, it still works...

I'm not sure I know what you mean about a washer. I really have not gotten into the A2 that far....thank GOD. From my understanding, which is limited to disassembly and reassembly of the T-138 out of my M817 (not a T1138), the center gear shaft wedges at a low angle (even lower in the...
