    After Months of Research and Looking... We Finally bought an M35A3 Deuce

    You're right Patriot, that "gut feeling" usually is the right way to go. Thanks for the Post!

    After Months of Research and Looking... We Finally bought an M35A3 Deuce

    Hey Jimmy, Thanks for the post, and Yes you are very right! I am most glad we didn't make the deal, as you said it would have been a slim chance that it was something small and easy to fix. We sit back for a few days and pushed this all aside for a bit, and just focused on other things. But...

    the new m923 is finally here!

    Hey Congrats on the Truck [thumbzup] You've had it a couple months now, How is it holding up?? Any problems? Hows the paint holding up? What is your opinion of the job they did at rebuilding your truck? Would you make another purchase from them?

    After Months of Research and Looking... We Finally bought an M35A3 Deuce

    Well.... I said I would post and update, so I will: We all have heard "Don't judge a book by its cover" And we all know you can't judge a deuce by its photos... My Dad, my brother and I went to pick up the deuce today, took about 2 1/2 hours to get there. Once there, looked at the truck...

    After Months of Research and Looking... We Finally bought an M35A3 Deuce

    Leaving to go pick up the A3 in the morning :mrgreen::driver: Take about 3 hours according to google to get there, shows it is about 150 miles. Also, can anyone tell me if the deuce's air line connection will accept a standard air compressor hose fitting??? Thanks All!! [thumbzup][thumbzup]

    After Months of Research and Looking... We Finally bought an M35A3 Deuce

    Thanks, but I did find a battery cut off switch. I actually went ahead and bought two, one for the 24 volt truck system, and one for my 12 volt add-on system.

    Deuce Insurance Prices - How much do you pay?

    Well I can finally add my own answer to my OP. :) And it was because of all the people who posted here. I read how many of you were with State Farm. We used to have State Farm back some years ago on a mobile home, but the price just kept going up. Finally canceled. Then as I mentioned in an...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Updated my post above, and took out the part that a 5 pin relay was required, and put instead that a 4 pin relay could also be used. Thanks for pointing that out kc4wd! [thumbzup]

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    I was wondering about if a 4 pin relay would work. But I thought I read on another thread that a 5 pin relay was required. But I haven't done the install yet, so I have no experience to verify. But I guess you answered that question. Oh well, the 5 pin relay was the same price, guess I'll just...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Well, got the relays Ordered. Strangely enough though, that website didn't sell the relay socket.... But I was able to get the socket from Napa today, well only got 1 right now, but the other 3 on order will be in tomorrow. So for those who are looking for the 24 volt relays for the 24...

    M35A3 - Trans Fluid Flush Question & other Filter Maintenance

    :ditto: Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.

    M35A3 - Trans Fluid Flush Question & other Filter Maintenance

    Nope, can't reuse the fluid, as when you do each fluid change you are wanting to get rid of as much oil as possible. If you re-use the same fluid over, you are putting the Original Motor Oil that is mixed with that ATF back into the transmission as well. Basically you are diluting the motor oil...

    M35A3 - Trans Fluid Flush Question & other Filter Maintenance

    Thanks for location info! I'll have to check that out, sounds like it could lead to a headache if not maintained. Well, that's an unexpected outcome :confused: It could be like you said, just the cold winter temps keeping it down, and it not being warmed up by the radiator. Just wouldn't have...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Great! Thanks! [thumbzup] Yeah I like the sockets better than just using spades. More contained and the connections are more secure. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll post my results when I get this done sometime over the next few weeks.

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Hey Would this relay work??? http://tinyurl.com/7t4qa4x Its a 5 terminal, 24 volt Continuous duty, 20 amp, relay.

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Now that I have heard it explained, seen how it is installed, and know what I am looking for, I think this is the way to go after all. It is less cost, seems easier to do, and if a relay ever goes bad, easy to fix. Thanks for the Help Guys! [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup]

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Nice looking unit! Humm... didn't know about the surge current. Doesn't sound like the controller I found will work then, as it is only 20 amps total, which is only 8 amps more than required power. Yes, 24v stuff seems to be $$$! The converter that I was looking at was just under $150...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Hummm.... I will already have a 12 volt power supply with the 12v Alt/Battery system... That's actually a pretty simple setup. Not to sure about how to incorporate a brake controller, but it shouldn't be too hard. Happen to remember what # of relay that you used? Or does it just have to be...
