    Now you can use a formula plug in whatever variables you want like tire size, rpms gear ratios. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life" (paraphrasing):smile::popcorn:

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

I am going to acquire a nice M920 and to this said truck I am going to: Replace front axle with super duty rebuilt front steer axle with huge brakes, (no gears type) eliminate transfer case...

    That transmission exists, It's called the 1545, It came installed in my A3 and after the "flush" it is a sweet tranny. To make the truck go faster, just install 3 overson 4.90 axle gear sets and your golden. They go for $1200 ish each. That option is still cheaper than a tranny swap. :popcorn:

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    The 14.5 x20 michelin tire is rated for 55 mph stamped on the tire somewhere I do believe. Compund that with the fact that the military ran that tire at a maximum inflation presurre of 45 psi when it is rated for 80 psi max means that an old tire, ran at half inflation for its life before you...

    Cab Swap Guidance - M1028

    The radiator support mounts on both sets I have removed have been seized and the nut on the bottom of the mount was a bugger to remove but it is possible and the top of the bolt must be held regardless and it is a another booger to get a wrench on from the front through the grill. Disconnect the...

    Relocating front axle 5" forward

    How about relocating battery box back and step a few inches and then lengthening fender rearward until it interferes with door and then don't make fender go vertical at rearward portion but build in enough angle to clear tire when turned.:idea:

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    The 4 Door Toy Hauler is a 5 ton truck, not an M35 series so you are dealing with a CDL more than likely, entirely different animal.:jumpin:

    leaking tire on m35a3

    Use a tire "lube" like freylube. never use silicone as that will bond that rim together and you won't get it apart. Have you checked the grommet that holds the air stem into the rim?
