The front leaf springs on my M35A2 look worn out, in that when parked the springs are very nearly flat. I don't see any broken leafs. The truck front end also has a slight lean to one side in the front. I see I can but a NOS front spring pack (2510-00-736-8628) for ~$250, but I imagine shipping...

I took my M35A2 to be emissions tested today for my registration renewal. This was first time I personally drove it through emissions testing, and the second time it has been tested in Arizona. The first time the previous out of state owner came with it and drove it through before we transferred...

I was under my M35A2 and noticed that my torque rod ends look pretty worn. It looks like there is a rubber(?) bushing in there that is cracked and dry on all of mine. Looking in the TM, there is no separate bushing called out, just the torque rod end itself (part A2110E109). When I look at that...

M35A2 with winch. When I bought the truck, I found the winch shear pin had been replaced with an undersized bolt. I removed the bolt but couldn't get the holes to line up to put a correct shear pin in, so I left it without anything and figured once I had the winch actually attached to something...

Just looking for any input on little things I may have missed. I recently upgraded to 395 tires and as such wanted to replace the speedometer drive unit to get a more accurate speed reading. I bought a NOS .222 ratio drive unit, crawled under my truck and swapped it in. At first I put it in...

I'm in the process of swapping my old, worn Michelin XLs from my M35A2 for new Goodyear MV/T 395/85r20 tires. I'm using A3 rims. I just put the first one on and was surprised just how much larger it was. I know there will be enough clearness between the two rear axles, but I'm curious if anyone...

I'm unable to find this in the TMs (in fact, I cannot find the TM that covers wheel assembly at all). I need to know what the torque spec for the large bore valve stem (as seen here http://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/21/4364/Large-Bore-Valve-Stem-for-MRAP-and-M35A3-Wheels--Rims) is...

I'm in the process of rebuilding some M35A3 wheels and want to swap out the CTIS inflation valve stems with non-CTIS "large bore" stems (NSN 2640-01-567-5505). The M35A3 TM says to torque the nut that holds the standard M35A3 valve stem on the rim to 40-65 ft/lbs. I can't find a torque spec for...

I figured some of you may have experience with stuff like this an may have advice to prevent my from hurting myself or destroying the drums. Soon, I will need to load a bunch of 55 gallon drum barrels (about 400lbs each) into the back of my M35. I have a crane in the bed of the truck that is...

I am about to replace my air governor on my M35a2 as what is currently on there a) does not look like a military stock governor and b) has its adjustment frozen and isn't allowing enough pressure to build. I ordered a replacement governor from a vendor on here and it came with port plugs and a...

I got my M35A2 recently with 9,000 miles on it. I put a coolant filter on (in a bypass setup) at about 9,500 miles. Just now at 10,000 miles I pulled the filter and cut it open to see how much had been caught. I was surprised to see the whole filter clogged with what I can only describe as mud...

I acquired a military truck recently that has a 24v power system. The previous owner mounted a electric lift/winch in the back which is rated for 12 volts (StrongArm brand) and center taped the two truck batteries to get 12 volts for it. I'm not too keen to keep it that way out of concern for...

As part of an upgrade project, I am looking for a push to turn on 24v map light that mill mount in a 1/2 diameter hole. Having trouble finding one at my local sources (Frys, eBay, Amazon, DigiKiy). Any help? Note, finding 24v lights that mount in a 1/2" diameter hole is not the problem, but...

I was looking at my driver side front wheel today and noticed there is a rather large gap between the leaf spring and the leaf spring bushing. The first two pictures here are the side I am concerned with, the final one is the passenger side which looks fine. Any idea what the issue is here? Is...

I have seen the numerous threads about these valves and the solutions to ones that stick. Most of the threads seem to end with a discussion of replacing the valves with tubing that runs to somewhere like the air intake. This is a great idea and probably where I will end up, but I have a specific...

I need to crimp some (only 4) connectors onto 00 gauge wire and the standard method I find seems to be using a hydraulic crimper. I do not have a hydraulic crimper. Should I spring for a cheap hydraulic crimper and a hand operated hydraulic ram pump (maybe DIY the pump...

This is for an unrelated project, but I need a headlight lens like the one that comes in the M35 H4 Headlight conversion kit from TMG (http://www.thosemilitaryguys.com/h4-head-light-conversion-dot-approved-pair/). I only need one, and don't need the bulb/wiring, or I would just order from there...

When I got my M35A2, the winch shear pin had been replaced by a bolt/nut. I went to remove it and had to hammer it out with a punch as it had been bent/deformed (presumably from load on the winch). The holes in the outer sleeve and the inner bar are not quite perfectly aligned, so I can't get a...

Background: I recently bought a M35 that had already been upgraded/customized including singling out the back axles and upgrading all tires to Michelin XL 14.5R20 tires. I'd like to get a spare tire/wheel just in case and have read all the threads on the XZLs and other options. My issue is I...

I have several Jerry can brackets like the one shown here (http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_jerry_can_vehicle_mount.php). Once came mounted on my M35A2, and I have several stand alone ones that I bought at a swap meet a long time ago. I just recently bought several Jerry cans that to me, look like...
