The fault would obviously lie with the person who rear ended the MV. I am more concerned about avoiding such collisions altogether, regardless of who is at fault. The attention from any collision would be negative, regardless of who is at fault. That is why I feel it is best to try and...

Yeah I should have put it in the chart but the style point was an afterthought. You're a good sport Ron.

So I don't get any style points? You drive a hard bargain. That's probably one of the reasons you are such a master debater.

I didn't say that the motorists would win. I am just saying that he could attempt to sue. The negative attention it would bring is my point. The way I score this discussion is as follows: _____________Ron_____Me MV Expert______1______0_ Older than Dirt__1______0_ Legal Expert____1______0_...

I respect your opinion and I understand where you are coming from. However, I could just as easily imagine this scenario: An M35A3 traveling 48mph gets rear ended by a motorists traveling 80mph. If the motorist tried to sue (for whatever reason, people sue today even when they are at fault) a...

Ron, your point is quite valid and has been received. Agreed, the truck (in this case the M35A3) may have been originally "designed" for 48 mph. That speed is probably fine and dandy in the convoy setting that the truck had in its military life. I mean, the "designed" engine and transmission...

I agree with a lot of what Flat Black says, especially about the deuce modification and hot rodding forum. If I was a purist then I wouldn't even read this sub forum and I certainly wouldn't make negative comments in it or try to dissuade someone from making a modification. Not sure what the...

nmdata, You just posted this same question in another thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?94511-drive-axel-gear-ratio-2.html#post1229173 and without any more information than you have provided people will not be able to help. I would suggest that you delete this duplicate post...

The 395's would not provide that much extra speed when upgrading from the 14.5R20's.

My mind is 99% made up. In order for the plan to proceed though I have to Bobb my truck first. Right now my weekends are occupied with football so it will probably be winter/spring before I can start this process. The A3 is my tailgate vehicle so I can't take it out of commission until...

Don't know how much "work" (labor) it would be if you were to pay to have it done. The Ouverson 4.90 is $1,200 per axle. :tinkerbell:

Yeah, but respectfully, $2,400 for two 4.90 gears just seems easier and cheaper with far less unknowns than doing a whole transmission swap and having to add your gear set. I appreciate that you have it and offer it and if I owned an A2 I would most definitely have your OD kit installed. For...

For a 6x6 tom may be right as far as cost goes but there is also greater uncertainty since there isn't much information on this transmission swap. I don't know of anyone who has done it and if someone has done it then I don't believe they have shared any of the details on this site. If you are...

Yeah, I think mudguppy is dead on here. You're asking for a lot of trouble if you just install the 4.90's in the rear two axles.

I have never heard anyone say to stick with the 15w-40 oil in the transmission. All the posts I have seen on the subject have said to replace the oil with transmission fluid. Mine was replaced and I don't plan on switching back.

Yeah, I think there are probably mechanical automatic transmissions out there that would fit but I don't have the time to research is as I am at best a novice when it comes to transmissions. That is why I am leaning toward changing out the axle gears to the 4.9 that Ouverson makes.

I don't get your direction. Can you hyperlink it or clarify what you mean, or just quote the question?

To my knowledge that is correct.

LOL :grin:
