Hi, Apparently the beadlock to run 395/85R20s on an M35A3 wheel is not 7.5" wide. Nor 8.0" wide. Before I pull the trigger on buying the correct size, and go through all that work, I wanted to ask: what is it? Thanks, SJ/JD

All: Are 395/85R20s on M35A3 wheels a fit on an M105A2? I seem to remember hearing of such a thing but wasn't turning up any hits on google. Thanks, SJ/JD

The other night, out in the middle of BFE, in my M35A3... A farmer waved me down, leading to the discovery of a failed dogbone bushing. Thankfully this truck has a winch and it was the front bushing that'd failed. My buddy and I winched the axle back into line and crawled home. It happens...

What is the 4-way air junction in the attached picture? It's immediately in front of the steering wheel (in my truck at least) on the engine side of the firewall. Thanks!

Hi All, While in the disengaged (downward) position, the winch control valve on my M35A3 dumps air. If I put it in the engaged (upward) position it stops. Obviously that's not safe, so I removed the valve, disassembled, replaced what could've been a busted oring, and put it back together...

Hi, The AT1545 is getting ready to go into my M35A3. The air lines for the hydraulic actuators up front have been identified. Trying to figure out where on the transmission-end of the equation these 2 remaining airlines go: Any assistance appreciated, SJ/JD DAVEGT

Hello, Just finished mounting 395/85R20s and an electric fuel pump on the M35A3. Which left me without a reasonable way of putting the spare in the original location. But... plenty of room to hang a 2nd fuel tank. Anyone done this? I can see taking the return line down the driver's side...

Howdy, Just hooked up an electric fuel pump on an M35A3 and am looking for the right place to hook the trigger wire for the relay. I pulled the accessory switch out of the dash and saw the 4 packard connectors coming out - that's so dang tight in there, there must be a better way?? Thanks, SJ/JD

Considering putting LED headlights in my M35A3 and thought I ask folks if they had any that they particularly liked and why? Beam pattern? Cut-offs (to not blind oncoming traffic), ...? Thanks!

Hi All, Been a bit of a slow, heavy process working through getting the M35A3 back on the road. Now that decent tires (and brakes) are on the truck, it's time to turn to the engine. Does anybody have any suggestions/thoughts/tips on what it takes/what to watch out for? I have a diesel...

Hi All, Somewhere on here I came across a thread where someone mounted a noco gen2m inside their MEP-802/3. Of course the great google isn't being of much assistance on this matter. So, before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask a couple/few questions: Where have other seen fit to mount...

All: Is it a thing to put MRAP run flats in 395/85R20s and run them on M35A3 wheels? Cheers, SJ/JD

Hello All, For those of us who are still struggling to find where Soldier B disappeared to... I (along with couple buddies) was able to get a M35A3 tire mounted the other week. But man, it was no small effort to get that bead lock installed. Even with copious amounts of tire lube. Which...

Hello All, I saw a thread the other day- that of course I can't now find- talking about which gears/range were best to use when using the front bucket for excavation. Something about contact/interference causing damage to (something?). Since I'm about to embark on a big of digging, I...

M35A3 Allison 643 - has anyone done it? Hello, I've arrived at a crossroads with my M35A3: after spending time the past few weeks, and with several quality folks throwing their shoulder behind the effort, it's turned out that the front pump I need for the Allison 1545 in my truck is apparently...

Howdy, While specing some lockout hubs for the front of my M35, I ran across mention of a locking hub installed on the middle axle on an M35A2. As in, the one side of the truck, on the front of the two rear axles. Is this a thing? Thanks, SJ

Hello All, I didn't want to put the "H-word" in the title, but I could use some help: I have an M35A3 and an M105A2 in Northern VA that I need to get moved to Southern VA. It's about 175 miles. The tenant where the truck and trailer are located is vacating and the landlord will want it gone...

Hello All, I recently acquired an M35A3. The transmission went out for a rebuild because of the typical 4th/reverse scenario. All is done - with the exception of tracking down a new front pump. Anybody have any leads on one? I've tried Defeo and Drapco so far with no luck. Thank you, SJ

Howdy Folks, Recently purchased an M35A3 - my first A3, but not my first M35. I know some of what to look for with this truck, but some of it... right now, I need to swap out the dry rotted tires. I found the stickied PDF in the TMs section discussing how to swap out tires/work on the...

Hello All, Bought 3 red LEDs (from fleabay) to replace the 3 green incandescent instrument panel bulbs. It would seem that Heman himself put those bulb covers/shades on. Last night I soaked them down with PB blaster. I haven't yet attempted to remove them again, but after referring to TM...
