Just wondering, any one have a 100,000 plus on a 35A2?
Has anybody put any serious miles on there truck?
The Military seems to change out motors by time & mileage from what I've seen.
All the GL trucks I've looked at seem to have less than 35,000 miles.
Mine had a new engine & tranny in 1985, bought it with less 20,000 miles, 809 hrs
Appears to be late 1970 early 71.
Just curious.

I put about as much faith in mileage and hour gauges in MV's as I put in...er...well maybe a fart in a tornado??
I have heard so many different stories on those gauges i just don't put any weight on em.
Anyway...MV's are like anything else...ain't the use that kills em...it's the lack of care and maintenence.
I would be suprised to see an MV that had actually been driven 100K miles on original gauges.
Just my opinion.

Use the gauges for your personal info once you get the truck, anything they say from before that time is all speculative. No real way to verify if things are correct of off by 20K

Definately would not depend on the gauges. One thing I remember about my 1971 GPD M35A2. It had 320 hours on the dial when I recovered her from FT Lewis. When I went to sell it had 310 hours. I watched it for awhile during idle and noticed the hours were decreasing rather than increasing. Oh well, she's sold no worries now.

Mine read over 88,300 on the odo when I got it, but under 20 hours on the tach. Tach was obviously replaced, and didn't live 20 miles after that. I now have a much older tach, which was pre-loaded with many, many hours so God knows what the real hours are. Plus the engine was depot-rebuilt in 1992.
EDIT... well, the pic isn't readable with it shunk down to that size. But it shows the odometer with 88,349.1 miles and the hour meter is obscured by the tach needle (it read 0020.4 at the time)
Who has the Highest Mileage Deuce?
