    Finally Received The Title for my FLU419

    I purchased my FLU419 back in the early summer - late June / early July 2020. It was advertised with a clear title, but the seller had trouble obtaining the title due to the Covid, or that was the excuse. I finally received a clear New Jersey title on December 2, 2020 after numerous phone...

    I get the flu on Wednesday

    I wouldn't disconnect the gladhands as they are useful for a source of air, including inflating the tires.

    anyone ever moved a steering tube "up" on an m35a2 dash panel?

    And appropriately named! When a wheel hits something and the steering wheel spins, bones can break.

    NH Insurance Tips for M1079

    I have my M35A3 insured with State Farm with a commercial policy for non-commercial use. Fairly inexpensive. However, they won't insure an MV like this unless you have at least one standard automobile insured with them as well. At least that is my case.

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    I finally got around to mounting the fire extinguisher in my SEE. I mounted it on the rear cabin wall where the TM specified. The TM specified a 3 Lb Purple K, but I installed a 5 Lb Buckeye ABC extinguisher. I may swap it out for a CO-2 in the future because the ABC powder can make a real...

    Generator Accessories

    I don't know if they have them now or not, but I got a different replacement part of the enclosure for my MEP003A from Delks several years ago. The price was very good at the time.

    Congratulations! I love mine. How are you relocating the FLU to Maine?

    M35A3 wheel identification.

    Those are definitely not A3 wheels. Hubs on M35A2 trucks can be flipped to single them out from the duals. A3s are already singled out. The truck may still have the control box in the cab, but without the wheel valves, there is no CTIS. There may be other pieces of the CTIS that have been...

    Battery Cable Lengths

    Eric's has the short cable that connects the batteries to each other NOS for $8.85. I suspect you can find the other two cables NOS from other suppliers. That would save you some work. You will also need the terminal clamps, which are normally easy to find and there are several currently on...

    Battery issues?

    I would pull the batteries and take them to someone with a battery tester.

    Hard Top or a Soft Top?

    Hardtop is quieter but like 98G, I prefer the soft top.

    Dual rifle dash mount source?

    One note on the USGI rifle mounts. There is nothing but a steel receptacle for the butt of the rifles. This bare steel can mess up a pristine butt stock. I cut out 1/4" thick pieces of rubber that fit inside the receptacles for the butt stock to rest on. This significantly helps protect the...

    Joel, Do you have a copy of the Unit / Maintenance Student Handout? If not, I've attached a copy. I'd be happy to come down and help you troubleshoot if needed.

    Cheaper fuel pump for MEP-003 found!

    These have positive shut off valves so if two are in series and one fails, the genset shuts down.
