Welcome, just keep reading the posts and search for answers to other questions first instead of asking, since it was already asked as a question and answered. Welcome again to the club!

Welcome aboard , enjoy the truck. Good maintenance is key. Study threads on the brakes. Use search function. I like to click advanced search and search only titles for key words. Just try some stuff and have fun.

Welcome to the site. If you don't already have them you can download the manuals for your truck from fellow member JTonka's site.

JATONKA's M35 TM download page

The biggest item to keep a close eye on is the braking system. It is a single circuit style so any failure of one item will quite often mean a total loss of brakes.

Scariest thing i found on mine when I first got it is the condition of the 2 flex brake lines to the front axle. They were really nasty. Just spend some time under it to make sure everything looks good and is tight. A couple hours of really going over the truck will save you a lot of issues later.

Welcome, and as others have said try searching first . It's almost always better to ask in a existing thread than start a new one , there will be alot of members subscribed to the thread that get updates that don't read the forums daily and will post up if they can help . It is also a good idea to read the rules on a monthly basis ,because as the site grows adjustments need to be made .

Search your questions first and tailor your searches using the Advance Search option. It will do a much better job for you. Good luck and welcome.

Welcome. As others have said and also (as you've probably found out) don't think your truck is a sports car. Deuces are not made to pass, do left lane driving, mount the largest most obnoxious tires, and work forever without maintenance.
