    M35A3 air shift problems

    I have an A3 with a bad air leak on the front axel solenoid in the cab. Both plastic elbows were cracked and I replaced them with suitable brass ones and the in and out air lines are snug and leak free. The valve is apparently the problem. It has a pressure relief hole directly behind the...

    DOT numbers in Washington state?

    I'm sure this topic is discussed somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it. I am registering my truck for the first time since the new draconian socialist laws took effect. Apparently if it is over 16,001 pounds and a truck it is a commerical truck in Washington state with no regard given to...

    Trailer parts?

    I bought a 1.5 ton trailer to accompany my deuce a couple of years ago. It was fully rebuilt in late 2009 and had no problems until I backed it up and pinched the airbrake line. I now have a cut line. Anyone have a source for a new line? It is possible to take it down to the nearest truck...

    Canvas cargo cover question.

    I have a couple of practically new canvas cargo covers and ends for my deuce. The end covers came with small springs and aluminum screws for attaching something to something else and there are no instructions. The cargo top seems a bit short on the sides and long and is new but with ropes and...

    Anyone near French Camp, Cali?

    I'm bidding on a couple of pallets there and need to find shipping or at least get them off base. They are about 600 pounds. Any shipper recommendations or a local assist would be awesome. Yeah, you can skip the "Uship" suggestion right away.

    Building a J-box for your genny.

    I was wondering what you guys use to power equipment off your gensets? I won a MEP-002 a couple of months ago and built a junction box of sorts, we used to do this in the military and I like the idea. Basically I bought a waterproof flexible power cable for an a/c or spa, 6 feet long with...

    I bought an M35A3 this year and it is sooooooo tan. Someone took the time to CARC tan the thing out in a parking lot for it's trip to the war. It is generally tan and they painted over every stencil or mark on the truck. They swapped on new steer tires and a new passenger seat and generally...

    Deuce in west Africa.

    So I tuned in to PBS to watch a show on diseases in Niger. The country has a program where they are trying to cure or reduce some of the diseases common with people who live in a hut with goats and chickens and crap in the streets. So they get a huge shipment of meds and need to load it to go...

    Forest PArk/Ft.Gillam

    I recently picked up my A3 at Ft. Gillam. When I inquired about the truck, I got a prompt return call from Robbie? I think I forgot to write it down. He gave me all sorts of useful information for a first time bidder. He knew the truck and told me what he knew about it. It took nearly...

    Any idea what happened to sale 4927?

    My EUC is at 60 days. They have been enjoying my money for over two months and nothing is happening. This is my first auction, but I am a retired USAF guy with nearly three decades of service, checking my background cannot be that hard. This is offically the slowest, most miserable process I...

    Very large Turbocharger

    I have a turbocharger that is intended for a Cummins KTA38 engine. It is a rebuilt Garrett that came directly from Cummins. It is also very large and new in the bag. Any ideas on where to sell it and to whom? It was intended for a prime power generator and never used.

    M35A3 from GA to WA, I need ideas.

    I won to an M35A3 on the last GL auction. It is in decent shape and my brother lives within 20 miles and will pick it up. He is also a top notch mechanic and will do the services on it after we get the thing. I live in Wa state and we are planning on driving it here. I figure driving it will...

    First of all, hello to all of you. I have been pondering buying a deuce for a year or so and wandering the internet aimlessly reading everything out there. I decided to try a gov auction and have failed a few times over the last few months. This week may actually be my week. It looks like I...
