I droved through a little snow in the high country on the recovery with no problems. With the tires aired up I am sure it will slide on ice and snow. I have driven mostly A2's in snow, this will be my first A3 year. There are a couple of things to remember. The brakes are grabby, the tires...

I like it, mine will barely fit thru the door to my shop, I am going to shoehorn it in there this winter as well. Nice truck, my A3 learning curve started last April and all by myself I had to figure out a lot of stuff. SS has been an awesome resource.

If you could swap gears in the axles I think that would be the way to go as well. The tires really are intended for about 60mph and the wheel would need some real balancing as well.

I drove my M35A3 from Georgia to Spokane, it was an a$$ breaker. The first day I wanted to go 55 or 60 and that turned out to be impossible, haha. After that I planned on 48-50 and twelve hours a day on the road and it took five days to get home. My suggestions are as follows. 1. Don't push...

They just forced my old guard unit to turn in all of their M35A2's last spring. The really sad part is they tossed thousands of dollars in spare parts into the dumpster before taking the time to call anyone. The trucks are sitting in the DRMO lot slowly rusting. One day they will decide to...

I had mine serviced by Cat after I bought it. They did the overhead with no problems and got the tranny parts from the Allison guys down the street. The non-cat filters were available from one of the jobbers. The CTIS is almost universally recognized as junk, once it breaks and it will break...

Recheck your data tag, it should say 5001985, meaning your truck is the 1985th truck made in the series.

All A3's are rebuilt from A2's. The goverment turned over three A2's for the base of parts and got two A3's in return. Basically AM General cherry picked all the best parts and made trucks out of them, then used the other parts for rebuilt spares or sold them as scrap. There is a really...

It would be a crying shame to scrap the thing, especially when it was running. There looks like enough to do a really decent restoration or get it road worthy with a moderate amount of work. I think half the recommendations for scrap are guys needing parts.

Nice truck, details man. What did ya pay, hours and miles and how did it drive? What is the s/n? Congrats, I am liking mine quite a bit.

So we have to defend the right of survivalists to be strange?:???: I'm willing to bet a suprising number of folks here could manage a week or two with no utilities and be none the worse for wear. That being said, there is nothing that says anyone here or on the survivalist blog will make it...

Here are some tidbits I have gleened from my brief ownership of an A3. 1. The oil in mine is still pretty clean after almost 4000 miles. I changed it and drove from Georgia to Washington state. It was still almost perfectly clean after the trip and it used less than a quart. 2. I had the tac...

I'm more of a LMOE kind of guy. (last man on earth) I'm not bugging anywhere if I can avoid it. Like Steve, I work for a utility and we move heaven and earth to keep the lights on, water flowing, garbage hauled and sewers draining. To me something becomes very apparent during the occasion riots...

I own an A3, different engine, same problem all diesels have. It is grumpy when cold but does fire in a few seconds down to 20-30 degrees. Most of the A2's I drove in the guard were the same way, a little heat or ether goes a long way towards getting them to fire.

State Farm did it with no problems other than a marginal agent. If you can get the agent to ask the right questions and click the right blocks it works fine. Now if I can only my MENSA canidate to change my address after three years of trying we will be in business.

Well, we could all meet in the Tri-Cities area for the day sometime. I eventually have to go to Hermiston,Or to pick up a guzzler to water the critters on some property I have and the truck is the only thing I have to haul it. Maybe in early spring. If not, I'll post my road trip plans and...

Congrats, we might have a slow drive to someplace where the Ore/Wa deuce driver's can get together.

I vote and have voted every chance I had since I turned 18. I was a Florida resident and they managed to find for every election state, local or federal during ten years of active duty. After I joined the guard I changed residence to my adopted state and vote there. I find it appalling that...

I'm betting someone yanked it to encourage people not to bid, then that guy can buy it cheap, install the panel and have himself a truck at a deep discount.

So what did you spend on printing? Finding a hardcopy can be next to impossible. Did you print two copies?
