    Opti Lube XPD and Oil Fortifier. Are they a measurable difference? We will find out

    Hi everyone, I just purchased some Opti-Lube XPD and Oil Fortifier and I am going to run it in my M35A2 and see how much of a difference it makes over the course of a new tank full of Diesel and a new oil change tomorrow. The Opti-Lube was rated second highest in a ULSD study and people have...

    Lockout hubs

    Ok, so just to clarify. If you get the front Hubs, you simply unbolt the orginials and place the new ones on and you are set. If you want to put one lockout on the front rear axle, you need to install a different shaft in the axle.

    M105 will not pass inspection

    I am all for being safe. I do not want to drive something that doesn't meet code. However, I would think that there must be some type of provision that must include age of vehicle. I went to another inspection station and they said that the trailer doesn't need to even be inspected. He said...

    M105 will not pass inspection

    Had I known that this would be a problem, I would have bought an A2 from the start. At this point we are checking with DOT before we cut and or add anything to the trailer, still waiting to hear back as to what can be done. Might end up registering it in another state and not messing with it.

    M105 will not pass inspection

    Well we can but we have to submit photos and there can be no rust. We are restoring it now so we can't get those plates until after we have finished it. I am going to try another inspection station. Apparently there is a guy that's about 1.5 hours away from me that handles military trucks more...

    M105 will not pass inspection

    So the M149 has the same set up at the M105? I thought the M149 had dual air lines, one for regular and one for emergency. Mine only has the standard air line. We told him and he could see that but he said with a weight over 3,000 pounds, you must have one. I said, yes you do, on vehicles...

    M105 will not pass inspection

    Thank you Juanprado for the idea of registering it in a different state. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why they wouldn't grandfather it in. I am going to send an email to the PA DOT and see if I can talk to someone that will know. I think maybe this guy has never dealt with military...

    M105 will not pass inspection

    I own a 1968 M105A1. I went to the inspection station and everything on the trailer works. The breaks work, lights, etc. But the gentlemen that handles inspections said in order for the trailer to pass, It needs to have a breakaway. I proceeded to tell him that this trailer did not come with...

    Would dual snorkles on the truck increase hp?

    I know it has a mushroom, I was just thinking of two snorkles. Thanks for the clarity.

    Would dual snorkles on the truck increase hp?

    Just a question, but if you put two snorkles on a deuce and had a y at the turbo, would the truck pull in twice is much air or would it split it 50-50 for each one? I wondered if it would force more air into the engine and create more power when the fuel is turned up. Maybe the truck would...

    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    If people are worried about the C motor, just put the C turbo on a D motor and you should have anything to worry about. If you aren't beating on the truck and you follow the operating procedures for startup and shutdown, you should be fine.

    M35A2 LED Headlights

    Where did you get the LED Round Amber Fog Lights? I found some that were more of a rectangle shape. The Amber fits the age of the truck better.
