    Freightliner or other commercial chassis road tractor?

    I've seen quite a few of these in the past, smaller trucks than the M916, but cant for the life of me remember what the **** they were. Pretty sure this is one of them, but again I cant find diddly squat after searching for an hour now.

    Go hard or go home also applies to breaking stuff... Grenaded my front wheel bearings

    Well, finally sold the A3 I had, and went to work on the brakes for the new owner, when I discovered it wasnt just brakes. Apparently the heat from dragging shoes destroyed the outer wheel bearing, and pretty much seized up (or welded) the body of the bearing to the spindle. Had to pull the...

    Need a quick parts ref.... Front Axle seals for M35A3

    I've looked and havent found anything in the short time I have here tonight... Looking for part numbers for the axle seals (lubrication, not CTIS). Looks like I have a leak and causing my front passenger side drum to lock up on me (bad juju!). Any help would be awesome!

    Quick parts ref needed: M35A3 axle issues

    Seems that every time I fix one problem with this truck, I find 2 more.... Figured out my pulsing brake pedal was grease inside the hub leaking out. Also, while cleaning out the CTIS system, I noticed some rust flakes on one wheel, as well some significant grease/water on my rear axle...

    M35A3 pulsating brake pedal

    I'm kinda used to these quirks of these trucks now, but this one puzzles me. Last night my truck started getting a funny pedal feel, almost a pulsing. Normal braking, no noticeable fade, but the pedal will soften and harden and push back a bit under all braking, from light effort (for the A3)...

    M35A3 transfer case issue

    Well, thought I had an air leak in the line, so popped open the access panel today and found where air is coming from. When the switch is engaged, you can hear the "clunk" inside the case, then immediately after, air starts coming out of the vent pretty steadily. The dash light never indicates...

    RT-1439 manual operation.... need some help

    Got my radio today, pretty cool little setup. Checks out GOOD and everything seems to be ok. However, I need some help from those with the radios and have played with em. Basically, I cant get the radio to reprogram the channels for manual operation. Going by the TM i have, in Single Channel...

    M35A2 bumper extension brackets

    Search has failed me yet again :sad: Specifically I have a set of winch mounts and extension brackets off an A2 truck. I was thinking about pushing the bumper on my A3 out to mount a tray for a toolbox and whatnot, but the holes look completely different. Will these work with the A3, or am I SOL?

    Correct cables for VIC-1 with RT-1439

    As I see it laid out, looks like the installation is fairly straight forward. However, I cant remember for the life of me, which cables are used on the VIC-1. But the main question I have here is the hookup between the radio and amp. It looks like a 2-part connection, being a cable from the...

    M35A3 air cleaner indicator

    So mine has apparently grown legs and walked away before it was DRMO'd out. I cant find anything on this bugger, but a civi part number would be great if anyone has one.

    Replacing A3 wheel counter weights

    Noticed 2 of my wheels dont have the counterbalance weights on them, and wanted to double check the procedure. I cant find the TMs for the truck right now, so please go easy on me :oops: If I understand correctly, I can air down the tire, pull the wheel nut, and replace the weight and nut...

    Rust removal inside doors

    Looks like I'm going to have to get inside my doors, atleast the bottom half, and get some pre-cancerous rust taken care of. Im sure there's some nastiness in there, and Im debating on the easiest way to get in and get it out. I thought bout bead blasting, but it will just pile up at the bottom...

    M66 ring and actual useage question

    Just picked up an M66 ring setup from another member here, waiting to put it all on the M35A3 I have coming in this week. I have a Mk23 pintle mount for a semi-auto M2HB we have at my shop, but I'm thinking this isnt going to be good to actually use, even with the cab reinforcement. Does anyone...

    HMMWV-esque Fuel can rack

    Watching some TV last night and had a little epiphany. I've seen some extra jerry can mounts put on the rear mud flaps, but I kinda like this idea. I see it on the HMMWVs all the time and wondered if anyone has done something like this. Either a full swing-out rack like these (yes its a...

    Installed some used LED tails, lost my rear running/parking lights

    Well thats what I get for buying used... Installed a set of LED taillights, testing my hazards, worked, but one was much dimmer than the other. I verified the better one before I installed the dimmer one. I went to hit my parking lights to test, and I heard a quiet but noticeable whine/lazer...

    Wiring IR lights... appropriate way to do so?

    Got my IR lights mounted on the bumper, and want to get them wired in for some night time fun. The idea that I had was tap into the power for the blackout light, ran to a 24v relay for each IR lamp. I'm still not sure where I want to catch my constant power or what fuse rating to use for the...

    Anyway to disassemble and clean the in-tank fuel pump/screen intake?

    As the title says, is there anyway to disassemble the unit to clean it out? Just discovered I maybe have 10% of the screens allowing fuel to get through, the rest are completely blocked with sludge and other wonderful surprises.

    S-W CARC alternative? Polane-S Plus?

    This paint is the recommended alternative to their CARC paint, still a urethane-based paint without the regulations. This coming from someone at the S-W Chemical Coatings toll-free number. Think I should get a gallon to try? Or just stick with Rapco? Doesn't look like I'm getting any CARC...

    Ordering paint this week... Sherwin Williams CARC or Rapco/Gillespie?

    Well, I work down the street from our local Sherwin main hub, and they stock the 1-part CARC coatings, the F93H107 tan. Not too bad, $75 a gal after tax. My question is... is CARC worth it? I havent seen a truck done up in Rapco/Gillespie 686a yet, but I know the CARC stuff looks great, and...

    Source for XL super single tires?

    Well, it's been about a year since I was active here, been busy with life, now its time for the hobby to pick back up for spring break and summer. I was in the works last year with offroadfabworks, when all his drama floated here (hell he still owes me $20 for mirror brackets that he never...
