    How many left?

    I read on wikipedia 35,000 trucks in 2008 with the order to replace with M1078's by 2010. Some write ups on transfers and such. Part of that draw down was the making of M35A3's that combined two A2's for every one A3 that came out?

    Some history on the use of filtered motor oil in the Deuce???

    Some history on the use of filtered motor oil in the Deuce???

    My shop goes through a lot of industrial gearboxes full of syntheti oil, kerosene, motor oil, even corn oil. There must be a range or weight and thickness that you have to meet for the trucks to run. Painters have a screen that they pour through that measures the thickness by the drain time for...

    Deathwobble fixed and back again, help!

    had a truck that did that because of lash in the steering box, more goes on than you feel. Can stand on the brakes and clean the woble until the next event sends it into the wobble. Wont do it above certain speeds. It's an Idea.

    M109A3 Restoration/Remodel

    Just a note PPG makes a self etching epoxy base primer that is a total oxygen barrier. The paint above it can take a rock but the primed wont come off without a grinder. Great stuff.
