The private sale prices may well be worth it. A GL truck may or may not be roadworthy whereas a private seller will let you carefully inspect and drive your truck. He also should stand behind it for at least a short while. GL stands behind all their trucks. Way behind. :-P

Bet if they drove it, they would not be anti.

Tru dat. Most of us are flushing it out and putting auto trans fluids in.

I had to air up several tires on my A3 at pick up. CTIS did not work at that time. FYI it took 10 minutes per tire or one full hour. Take a 5 gallon bucket or something to sit on. This was using the gladhand for air. Keep in mind these are very big tires. I put about 45 pounds in each...

Mike, I read your post aloud to my wife- she loved my reading about your honks. Too funny! fat lady sings

Plus I would like to see location in the titles. Like "M105A2 trailer for sale New Mexico" That would save a lot of time for someone that is too far away.

Thanks, Rusty. I should have done a search of the TM, but that is a great start. I think the rapid purging is due to the CTIS demanding air. I will check for leaks. Hope the rest of your trip is uneventful.

Nicely done video, thanks

Looks great! My truck is painted olive drab and has unit markings for 2nd of the 12th Cav, a sister unit to your 2nd of the 5th.

My unit is now working properly after replacing some pieces parts, but the problem I am having is the air dryer unit. I replaced the filter in the dryer but it is still venting too often and when it vents the CTIS purges and goes back to zero. Due to the rapid purging I can actually lose...

Short bus, LOL! I used to drive a school bus and have to admit, he was spot on. Still it is a great truck, and the history of our deuces has to be considered. It is all good. :beer:

Good job! I did mine a year or two ago. I also did the A3 electric wipers with the same part numbers, but things were off just a little bit, still was able to make a go of it.

Excellent advice, and everyone should heed it. This guy does know, he worked on them! There. That should help me in my bids to get a winch truck.

Thanks for the info, Mark. First time I have heard of it! Guess this better get put on my list.

The yellow ones are first quality, the green ones did not meet specs. Kidding of course. A Cat worker on here said they only paint them yellow, and when the military would insist on green from time to time Cat had to send them out for green paint. I don't know this as fact, but it sounds...

Whirlydriver, congrats on the M36A3, a rare find indeed! These trucks ain't got much optional equipment. Winch or non-winch.

Welcome from the "other" Virginia. You have an ideal situation as several nice trucks pop up at Richmond.

I am guessing a lot of them are going (or went) to fire departments for wild fire fighting. The departments like the auto transmission idea.

First thought is the transmission BUT have you replaced the engine fuel filter yet? That could do it. Also the transmission has a remote filter that could be clogged. After that, transmission linkage, then I got nothin... Good luck with Bertha!
