    M35A3 Transmision question.

    Well, I went ahead and changed out my transmission oil 15w-40w for dexron III. I changed the external filter 1x after changing the oil 3x. I haven't changed the internal filter yet, it should be here today. The problem is that the transmission worked before I did this, now it won't go...

    Chains vs. Singles

    Should be no problem just chaining up the rears and the front. All the 4x4 guys say if you only have one set of chains, to chain up the front wheels.

    Making a fiberglass hood?

    Well I would walk on one because I can walk on my rusty steel one. Also my reason for for wanting a replacement would be RUST. not weight. So do you think soldier B doesn't walk on his stock fiberglass hood?

    CTIS Theory questions.

    Thanks, this is the best description yet. On a side note, does anyone have a used, take off wheel valve they would donate/sell cheap so I can take it apart and rebuild one at a time so my truck isn't down for a period of time? Thanks.

    Barstow Inspection Questions

    This was early December, Yes an appointment was manditory here. (Ft-Mcoy)

    CTIS Theory questions.

    This is interesting, however, I wonder if it may work in reverse. By sending a low pressure pulse to open the tire valves. Some of the reasoning is that, we are sure the air comes and goes thru the same hose. And the brakes want/need at least 60 psi to work, so that would explain the 90 psi...

    Barstow Inspection Questions

    Yup, when I previewed, I could poke around all I wanted. It was 0 degrees out and we spent 2 hours looking around. Granted its not Barstow, but I would think your experance should be similar.

    CTIS Theory questions.

    I had slow leakage problems also, this happened even with the CTIS off. Took the truck to a heavy truck tire shop that had a guy there that used to be military, and they would work on the wheels/tires. We found slow leaks on 4 of 7 tires. Replacing the wheel "O" rings and the valve stem "O"...

    CTIS Theory questions.

    I have a few questions on CTIS Theory, not how to operate it, not how to remove and replace parts per the TM (I read that part). I’m interested in how it’s supposed to work at the design level so we can troubleshoot our problems more intelligently. So here are my questions, and some...

    Nuts and Bolts

    I have found Fastenall to be a good walk in source for hard to find larger stuff. And a Company call McMaster Carr out of Chicago to have all the real strange stuff. (S.S. left hand thread metric) etc. Both are not the cheapest but not to out of line. Farm and Fleet sells english hardware in...

    starter fluid - replacement bottle

    I recently bought mine directly from quick-start for 18.50 per bottle, they came with gaskets also. The only catch is a 25$ hazmat fee regardless if you order 1 or 20. This is the cheapest I found them and I looked for a while. "don't do anything your not proud of" motomacguuyver

    M35A3 Speedo Knob Source/Info

    I took mine off and measured it. The threads are METRIC for crying out loud. M-3 x .5 I have attached an image of the drawing I made of it. I can also send you a .dxf file format via PM if you need it. I could possible make you a replica without the rubber for a resonable price. This...

    She won't start in the cold!

    I Just found the canisters of Quick start ether here Quick Start Products & Solutions | Diesel Engine Ether Injection Systems for 18.00$ each. However shipping has a 25.00$ haz-mat fee whether you order 1 or 24. This is the best price I have found and I have been looking for awhile.

    M35A3 Owners unite

    This plug is used to do an electronic diagnosis of the operating systems, Now I think the only thing on the A3 that this "diagnoses" is the transmission, and maybe the CTIS? ( I have read that the cat 3116 engine is fully mechanical) YRMV. The TM calls it a (STE/ICE-R) simplified test...
