    M35A3 Owners unite

    Excellent information guys. Thanks alot. In response about the headlights, "yes", the dash lights DO work with the switch in 'Service Drive' position - but that's all (no headlights, no markers, no brake lights. But, the odd thing is that the hazards and turn signals DO work? I have three...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll look at the air fittings on that tire & see what I find. For now, I'm just leaving the system off and the tires are staying aired up fine. Do you have any idea about the headlights / marker lamps / brake lights? I definitely have the switch in the right...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Evening Gentlemen, I just picked up my first M35A3 from Ft. Hood, TX yesterday. Hopefully there is a pic attached. It seems to be a good truck. 3,100 miles and it fired on the first pop. Engine, brakes, transmission, drivetrain, tires all seem to be okay. The fronts were flat when we got...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Thanks everyone for the help and advise. I'm scheduled to pickup the new A3 next Thursday morning. I already have all of the filters, RotellaT 15w40 for the engine and winch, 5 gallons of Transhyd for the tranny and a new double rifle kit waiting for her when she gets home. I guess I'll wait...

    did anyone win this M49A2 out of Fort Sill

    Well, I was the guy that won this fuel truck. I plann on using it for a farm fuel truck. However, I didn't see this post until I got online this morning to try to find out how to access a manual as I have no idea how the pumping / filtering mechanism works. As to the truck, just got it home...

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    Okay, I'll look closer over there but I didn't see anything? If that's not the glow plug inhibit on the drivers side rear that I pulled out of the water passage, it is ironic that the glow plugs are operating now when the engine is warmer than before? Oh well, attached are some of the pages I...

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    I'm a little confused. The sensor on the top, rear of the drivers side head on mine is not a two pin. It has a single barrel connector although the wiring connector does have two wires. I'm attaching a picture. For now I have just plugged the hole and layed the sensor on top of the intake so...

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    Where is the pass side one? Thanks everyone for the help. The one on the upper rear of the drivers side head is obvious. I'll take it out and take it to NAPA to match up. However, you seem to be saying that there are two and I need to replace them both? Westech mentioned that one controlled...

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    Where can I get these senders/sensors? Thanks a million Westech. If I may inquire, do you know where I might go to find these sensors? Is this a NAPA kind of part or do I need to go to the Military suppliers? Thanks again, Ross

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    Have a seemingly odd issue with my M1009 that is so repeatable that I hope someone can give me some insight. Vehicle is a 1985 in excellent condition. I'm not sure it is the original motor as it is awefully clean, no leaks, uses no oil, etc.. I got it a few months ago from GL and have put...

    M817 Won't Dump???

    I just recently purchased two M817 5-Ton dump trucks. One is in excellent condition - the other probably a parts truck. Anyway, I'm having difficulty getting the dump to raise. I have checked and adjusted all of the external linkages from both the dump lever as well as the transmission driven...
