    Which of the TMs is for the CTIS system??

    Maybe I don't understand the basic problem... Is one or more tires slowly going flat on you -even with the CTIS turned off? Or... Are the tires holding air and the CTIS is not inflating/deflating them to the proper pressure for the mode selected? Or... Does your CTIS show FLAT all of the...

    M35A3 Oil in Anti freeze

    Yes... I was servicing my A3 this afternoon and looked at those two fittings... I don't see how they could possibly get mixed up accidentally ...so scratch that idea. I guess my next thought would be if removing the radiator somehow disturbed the internal (to the radiator) transmission fluid...

    M35A3 Oil in Anti freeze

    The surge tank return line carries radiator coolant back to the surge tank from the connection at the right TOP of the radiator. The transmission fluid (15W40 oil as used by the Military) cooler lines (integral to the radiator) come out the RIGHT SIDE of the radiator. If you got the right top...

    Which of the TMs is for the CTIS system??

    There is not a separate TM for the CTIS. TM9-2320-386-10 gives a basic description of the system and (very) basic troubleshooting. TM9-2320-386-24-1 provides major component replacement instructions and TM9-2320-386-24P has parts lists. If your tires are going flat on their own its likely a...

    HORN!!!!!! It's on and won't stop!!!!!

    Unplug the electrical connector from the horn. If it keeps blowing, the valve in the horn itself is probably stuck. Don't know if it is repairable. If it stops blowing, then its an electrical problem and 91W350's suggestion is the likely cause. OOPS... I guess you already did unplug it as...

    M35A2 Radio

    Depends on what you want to do. Are you trying to maintain the authentic military configuration inside and out? Does the radio equipment need to work or will non-functioning equipment meet your needs? If you can answer some questions like this, there are plenty of people here that can steer you...

    Repair cracked oil pan drain plug

    Don't think I'd risk losing the engine to an oil pan fire :!: I'd do my best to get the plug out & drain the pan. Then clean up the area around the plug. Assuming the threads are OK, and there is no remaining oil seeping through, I'd then JB weld it and see what happens. If you find you have to...

    To qualify for Antique Plates, motor vehicles, including motorcycles, must be more than 25 years old."

    Difficulties getting Illinois Title and Registration - Any Suggestions?

    I had no problem at all with the SF97 from GL. If I recall correctly my AZ title showed up in 2-3 weeks. My only problems have been with the IL SOS :cry:. You may already be aware of the FMV plates. If not, do a search on this site for all details. It can save you a bundle on license plate...

    Difficulties getting Illinois Title and Registration - Any Suggestions?

    I have been trying since 11/7/12 to get my M35A3 titled and plated in Illinois. I had no difficulty getting the AZ title from GL so I thought this would be a breeze. So, I go to the SOS office on 11/7 with all paperwork and submit an application for IL title and H plates (I didnt know at the...

    Oh great and omniscient CARNAC... Thanks for the info on my deuce. Donation Made... Any chance you could run the history on a WWII halftrack? Or is that too old? All I have is the registration number and the info off the front bumper.

    wow - one expensive m35a3 today in PA

    Yep... I watched it all along. I expected it to go high because of the 505465 S/N and the 1999 contract date. Also, it was a hardtop. Was shocked to see it go for $11,500 though, with a flat rear tire -although the CTIS seemed to be working. Must have had a leaky valve stem seal. Meanwhile, a...

    Proper working 4-way ignition switch, doable or stupid?

    If you have an M35A3 or M109A4 you can wire a barrel key switch in series with the neutral safety switch in the shifter pedestal. This way, turning on the master switch will only give you the accessories... you will be unable to crank the engine over without the key (try cranking the engine with...

    M3A1 Halftrack Discovered

    I have many very fond memories of driving a halftrack around as a teenager in the mid-1960s. The better ones are when we would chase the neighboring farmer's cows back across the creek to their own property. Neither the halftrack or the cows were very maneuverable! :3dAngus: Actually, the...
