    New to the M35A2 next question

    High/Low is the lever near the seat. The front wheel drive is either a lever on the dash (air shift) or a sprag (does it by itself - no manual activation required). Popping out of low range isn't normal.

    M8xx series vs m9xx series off roading

    I doubt the 809 to 939 comparison has a clear winner either way. Presuming we have the same wheels/tires, the differences should be negligible. A bigger difference would be cargo truck to truck tractor, where the shorter wheelbase makes a difference in high centering. Or a winch truck vs...

    Aftermarket wheels and tire sizes

    This refers to the number of bolts holding the two wheel halves together. Most of what you see at auction is 12 bolt wheels, with the occasional 24bolt. More bolts = more even load= less prone to failure. You see the same thing in the bigger truck world if you compare 5ton combat rims to lmtv...

    Noob question: How bad ARE the brakes, really?

    Agreed. But if not maintained, the failure is sudden and catastrophic - (first post, last paragraph) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170857-Picked-up-a-deuce-last-month Edit to add - http://www.wgal.com/article/military-vehicle-crashes-into-subway-restaurant-in-york-county-1/6236643

    Repaint questions

    Agreed. Rustoleum is only appropriate for use over faded but otherwise intact CARC. (Note I placed a caveat as not a fit for your purposes) I think Behr is the choice for what you're doing. It'll adhere better than CARC....

    Noob question: How bad ARE the brakes, really?

    Yes and no. When they work, which is 99.9999% of the time, they work fine and stop you just fine. But they're a single point of failure. When they don't work, they don't work at all. Downshifting and locking up a park brake isn't all that effective at a panic stop. Air brakes are a HUGE...

    M929A1 axle ratio?

    Roughly double at a minimum. Here's some auction history on SOLD M929 trucks: I've driven many M923s home that were purchased for under $3k.

    M929A1 axle ratio?

    There's got to be a cheaper way to get a t-case and axles than to take a running driving dumptruck apart. Unless the rest of it is just held together with rust.... Consider selling to dumptruck intact and buying a 939series cargo truck to cannibalize. You may end up with a good deal of $$ left...
