    New to me M35A3, suggestions needed

    The one wheel looks like it goes to a 5-ton or FMTV - ten stud holes there. Three kinds of tires there too anyway.

    Title discrepancy? Or confusion?

    They need to realize that "zero" is a digit and add them to the VIN :rolleyes: I think that's what NY DMV does in their computers for older vehicles.

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    I appreciate your attention to historical detail! I wanted to maintain the CTIS on my truck for the same reason, but I don't have the time or budget to keep it up. Good luck with your project :)

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    That's funny - the wheel weights on my M35A3 weren't consistently installed in the right spot either. The TM doesn't even have words to specify where to put them, so I went off the illustrations and my best judgement relative to the position of the CTIS valve. That was shortly before I decided...

    Rust Locations

    What are common rust locations on the HMMWV? The only things I've read about so far that really seem susceptible to rust are the frame rails and the wheels, but I get the feeling there are other places too despite the aluminum in these trucks. Are there other rust locations that occur when the...

    Should i add dominator trak system to humvee?

    When did this end up in the HMMWV forum? :giggle:

    M49A2C

    The red part looks like an add-on. I think that truck should have a PTO-driven pump, though if it isn't working it would be easier for some to just attach another pump and hose.

    Tire Jack?

    Super singles are easier to handle than I expected, which was nice to find out! The OP seems to be dealing with duals and wants to remove them as duals.

    Tire Jack?

    If you go the pallet jack route, make sure you get one with wide enough forks to capture the wheel without having to jack up the truck higher than you need to. The one I got for free was too narrow to support a 46" super single without jacking up the truck a couple inches higher than I wanted...

    M49A2C

    Congratulations on your new deuce! You might find someone here who'd want to trade you a cargo truck for that. I understand wanting a cargo truck - the utility of the cargo box was one way I was able to justify the purchase!

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    Like some have already mentioned, just remove the valves and wheel weights from the wheel and insert Schrader/tank valves into the wheel's valve stem. If you like the look of your stone guards, you can re-install those probably without worrying about them throwing the wheel off balance. I plan...

    where can i get a 5 ton crew cab?

    Meanwhile, Canada ordered AWD Navistar trucks with 8-9-person crew cabs for their army :p I think that would be neat in a collection! I like the idea of a crew cab but I have the feeling that crew cab money could go toward a 4-seat HMMWV or another truck to pal around with. Kinda like...

    M813 leaking front axle

    It sounds like you need a new axle seal and a boot. I consider boots consumable. They aren't really meant to keep the grease in and the water out - they're more like dust covers than anything, but they do help with keeping greasy mess off the insides of your wheels :p Both of the boots on...

    My first multifuel?

    Congratulations! What do you plan to do with it? Are you going to try to find a wrecker body to put on the back? A cargo box?

    Torque value for M939A2 combat wheel studs?

    Were the nuts already installed? Otherwise I wouldn't consider them new :p

    My first multifuel?

    Were wreckers the only trucks with the extra marker light on the driverside fender? I'm thinking that might've been an M62A2. Also, what's with the rest of the marker lights? Is that a European retrofit? That looks like it's going to be a ton of work. "Ran when parked in the brush" is...

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    I'm glad it wasn't the head gasket! From what I've read about doing a head gasket on the multifuel it looks a bit more complex than doing one on a flathead gasser. Doesn't the multifuel have two head gaskets?

    M35a2 Overdrive Kits

    From the pictures the studs don't look rusty enough :p That looks like a great project! Maybe my next place will have a proper shop🤞

    M35A2 or M35A3? Pro's and Cons of each

    About 50 mph. I don't go higher than 50 in mine even with 395s mounted.

    Should i add dominator trak system to humvee?

    I wouldn't put tracks on it unless I was using it off-road a lot. Tracks tend to require more maintenance than wheels. I'd think most people looking to buy a HMMWV would prefer wheels for simplicity, plus I imagine it would be easier to source tires than tracks for something like that. I...
