Welcome to the site yarry and congrats on your M109.
As multiple posters said, there are already multiple threads on the topic of deuce tools out in the forum. Here are a few:

Dude.
We LOVED our M38A1. It was so awesome.
I would have driven it every day as a daily driver IF I could have afforded the $1K for the overdrive kit. With the 5.38 gears, you are pretty limited in terms of cruising speed.
But, they get great mileage, they are super easy to get in and out...
There literally half a dozen threads which very thoroughly list the pros and cons of each model and many members who owned each (and several who own both) commented on the threads.
I would start your search with a phrase of something like "A2 vs. A3" or "M35A2 AND M35A3 AND versus" or something...
That was a fun day.
What an AWESOME videographer! What skills! Amazing camera work........8-)
You can also hear ss member rdixiemiller in the background.
Dave (USAF power wagon dude) was with us too.

Welcome to the site. As you've found, there is an amazing amount of data here. It's a good idea to just start on page 1 of the deuce forum and start working your way forward. After about 500 threads, you'll really have a good handle on things.
