Unfornunately the plate was switched out with anothe that the dealer could title but the IDplate on the block gave me the year the title says its a 1971 jeep M35a2 and the platform has the repair van on it. Mix and match. I will definately go to Carnac's thread over...
M109a3 or what?
I went out tonight with a light and all loosened up to crank myself upside down to read the data plate on the block. Now the plates original to the engine 99% sure because the plate is on the block with the original rivets.
Thanks in advance the MFG date and it said it just...
I'll look at the data plate and write down all the info. Is the delivery date coded or is it located as a 2 digit number in between other numbers on the block ID plate passenger side of engine?
So what do you think the truck is. I know its a M109, it has a 60 amp generator and the front wheel drive is engaged with an air lever inside the cab. The engine is a 1972 or more than likely a 1971 White D-turbo. The back doors have NO windows. The exhaust comes up the passenger side of cab. I...
I had the key difference explained the difference between the M109a2 and M109a3 is the a3 is a D-turbo the a2 isn't turbo charged and it sprage air actuated to engage front wheel drive. the generator in the a3 is 60 amp and in the a2 its 25 amp thats from '41cl8m5'
Now thanks to you I have the...

engine block removable plug
TY Flyingvan911
But I read there is a plug larger than the draincockas your describing and it will help if there is sediment larger than the opening of the draincocks. I'm still looking at TMs but so far I haven't found the bigger block coolant plug, found the one...
New to the Duece but I am reading on a daily basis threads and Tms..I'm going to flush my cooling system and from all that I've readthe garden hose and the draincock at the bottom of the radiator is the common procedure when running the engine. I want to know if for something that dislodges from...
Here's mine with a second fuel tank where the spare was, spares inside shop van. anybody tell me the difference between the A3 and A2. My M109 has a white engine and air engagement for front wheel drive inside the cab, hope I'm in the right section to ask those who know more than me to help me...
Lawdog, I see you own a M109a3 so tell Me. As I am proud owner of a M109a? either 2 or 3 my question is just that. I was told I have a M109a3 but I have read that the a3 has the Continetal engine and an automatic transmission. Mine, from the early 70s has the 5-speed and a White engine with...

Where is there a guide or break down that tells me the MFG of the chassis of the M35a2 and other info the Chassis's ID# contains. It will help me date and maybe properly identify when the truck was made without relying on engine ID plate. I read this sites info day after day just overwelming. So...
