    Cat 3116 running vmo

    I looked into running fuel other than #1/#2 in my M35A3.. The CAT folks I talked to said to not do it period. They said it would shorted the life of the engine a lot. Will be interesting to see how long yours runs well before it pukes.

    M923 M939 VIN location....where I found mine.....

    Does anyone know if this holds true for the A2s? BMY might have put the numbers elsewhere.

    WC3 Coming to Papa!!

    Well if you would learn to share a little bit PB. You could probably get Clinto to take care of the DUKW so you could work on the new WC. Be a nice old GI and let him have it...........the DUKW that is.

    M35A3 W/W Exterior Data Plates

    Contact TNJ Murray himself. He was parting out a bunch of A3s. I got 4 or five very nice A3 dash data plates from him. Saturn only has the non winch style plate you are looking for.

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    Wise decision. You would have risked damaging your new batteries were you to have driven the truck for any length of time with that particular problem in the regulator. And as we all know batteries are getting to be a major expense. Especially if your truck were to have needed 4 batteries...

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    The regulator is bad. You have described one possible failure mode exactly the way one will see it when the regulator fails.

    USAF Colors for Early M35

    In the 60s the color of vehicles was mostly determined by which major air command they were assigned to. Almost all commands except Tactical Air Commands vehicles were strata blue. Tactical Air Commands tactical vehicles were for the most part Army OD or even Marine Corps OD. Marine Corps OD...

    Have you ever heard of no EUC required?

    It is a license plate mount with light. I usually use a full plate mount to try to keep the license from getting bent so much. 14 ga. material. I also am looking at the M931A2s as I think they are the best of the tactical long nose 5 ton tractor trucks. They finally pretty much got it right...

    m211 brake issues

    Info for the new MV troops: You do remove the pipe plug in the rear of the M211 (G-749 series) air pak and lube it twice a year......right? As per the manual. Royal makes the correct oil for the air pak. It is sort of hard to find but in a pinch you can use a good quality air tool oil. If you...

    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    Good lens Bjorn. Let me know if you find any as I would like to have a handful or so also.

    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    Yes that was a good number as I have it also. The part number is listed in the M35A3 parts manual. I think the mfg does not list Military Spec numbers on his site. I tried a couple other good mil spec numbers and they did not show up either.

    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    That bulb Jakelc15 looks like a better choice for the dash gages light. I found one on Ebay that is about half the price of that one for the indicator lens. Its focus is mostly to the front not the sides as the one you posted is.

    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    TKS gimp again. I have tried all your tricks and yes most all the gages have the ports dirty and it makes one heck of a difference when you clean them. One real problem is that more of the ports need another light source coming in from more than one angle. I guess one could make a string of...

    Mike my M35A3 also had that same bulb in the low air light indicator.
