I'm in Bangor and I have a M35A3 in great shape but am told it needs "rusty airlines / brake lines" addressed, and there is some grease or oil leaking from the front passenger side hub near boot, and something about the dissintegrating flex hose coming off the air cleaner going in under the...

One more thing - The local shop is good to go on doing the tire swap, but they couldn't remember if there is an o-ring on the wheel, and if it is 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch ? Is this anything to worry about?

Ok thanks, good to know. The original Michelin tires are very weathercracked all over, in the tread area, etc. They have more than half tread, hold pressure and drive great, but I would not trust it anywhere interesting worth taking, so need these Continentals.

I was wondering if anyone has any actual experience with the Continental MPT 81 in 365 80R20 (43-inch Unimog tires) mounted on a M35A3 ? Can the same CTIS wheels be used or would you need everything replaced if not going with the original Michelins?

I recently noticed this closed govplanet auction for an A3 that ended at $10,100 in Oct 2021. Its not the worst Ive seen, but it is junky. Missing soft cover, no headlights, junk interior, no winch, busted gauges, leaking steer axle, rust, rusty hood, dangerously low miles. Maybe get it right...

I searched for this in previous threads, but no finds. My 1996 M35A3 has the usual 2 air tanks with drain vales on them, and also a drain valve on a line off to the side of the outer tank. My valve on that outer line, and the valve on the outer tank drain air just fine, but the inner tank...

The tire pressure I had in these was just north of 75 psi for the long trip home, and seemed ok. I am just noticing though that the CTIS wants 45psi for highway (which I don't have hooked up anyway), though most people seem to recommend 55 - 60 psi because of some issue with redlining the...

Just drove a 1996 M35A3 from southwestern PA to Bangor ME this past weekend (600+ miles). I also picked up an M103a3 trailer which was just 20 minutes south of the truck location before heading north to Bangor. Aside from being boring and grueling at 50mph the whole way, the toll at the George...

Thanks for that info Chief. Can you tell me what "Loss" means in the report type? Also, the usage-miles puzzles me since the odometer on mine says 11,201

I have an M35A3 with a winch (though the data plate says "w/o w"). It is titled from MD as a 1991 which makes no sense to me as it should be a 1993 - 1999, and based on the VIN I suspect it is a 1996 or 1997: a. VIN: 503262 b. Registration number: NKOJLR c. NSN = 2320013832047 d. bought from...

Does anyone know what their mpg and safe top-speed on highway is with an M35a3 towing an m103a3? Tires are the typical 14.5r20 with 85% tread on the truck, and the standard NDT on the trailer. The trailer I will be pulling is a bare frame model with no sidewalls or tailgate, and the truck is a...

Hi John, yes it is and I'm glad I'm buying in a sale from a guy who knows his stuff and has plenty of experience with these. Looks like good people in here too. Thanks again!

I've driven a couple dysfunctional class-A motorhoes on the interstate before which did only 45mph at times. It wasn't too bad as I stayed to the right and people saw my huge rig ahead of time. 45 is the legal minimum on I-95, and I can do 50, but didn't want to push it. I have an orange...

First post here - I just purchased an M35a3 with serial 503262 (1996?). It is in superb condition and I plan on doing a conversion with a big slide-in truck camper in the back. I own an RV dealership and we plan on keeping it and using this rig for promotion in parades, and to have a booth at...
