One Line Advice for First time MV owners.

[militarysteel]

My one line advice for the M35A2 is this,
* do not rev the engine until you get oil pressure *

Here is one more only because i made this thread-
* stay below 2500 RPM, its not about the destination, its about the ride. *

Ok just one more-
* Be nice to the GL people, being mean will get you nothing. *


Feel free to add your "one line" most valuable insight.

You are an OPERATOR not a driver. Check and double check safety checks each and every time you take your truck out!
Do not rely on what you did yesterday. Recheck and recheck

PMCS to DASH -10 Safety INS. 2 Hours PMCS will save you.
HOURS of Oprator Driving ENJOYMENT down the road.
Not on the side of the road or in the shop or behind Tow recovery Truck.
Be MC not NMC.

The cable you just pulled makes the engine rev REAL FAST! The one you meant to pull is just above it.

The idiot in the 1500 pound (name your least favorite import) that whips over in front of you can stop in half the distance you can.

Need another drawer in your toolbox for BIGGER wrenches you will be purchasing.

Member who posted inspections: always do a proper pre and post trip inspections that are thorough - if it does not pass do not drive it.

Yes - when you hit that horn - them 4 wheelers will stop dead in their tracks - use that time you hit the horn for better defensive driving.
