[@johncunningham2259]

Thanks David-had problem with front brakes nor releasing due to the check valves were letting air threw the front glad hands causing problem-rebuilt all frontal check valves and found internal pucks were jammed open-rebuilt and all problems went away-Thanks again.

We have 1 of these set up as a tender. It's amazing. Our favorite truck by far

[@jormoria]

WOW,ONE OF THE BEST DETAIL EXPLANATIONS I EVER FOUND. NICE!

[@jacobhase9313]

Pressing the mode button does not engage 4 wheel drive, these trucks are full time 4x4 with a 70/30 power split in highway mode and 50/50 in off-road. The highway mode uses gears 2-7 with the option of using the down button to manually select 1st gear.

[@davidpaterson6271]

Standard mode is all-wheel drive. Hold the MODE button down for 3 seconds and it switches from all-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive (allison trans will use only 5 gears in 4-wheel drive mode).

This was fantastic

[@dillonmcannnell]

It's ok for a modern deuce and a half . But it will never be a M-35 a2 deuce. but the M-1078 is ok For a brush unit. but can't carry as much water as the M-35 a2. Thank you for all you guys do for rural communities in need.

[@TerraFirmaX]

so what you're saying is you really really like the M35 A2

[@rickeyburke2596]

Another good info source is steel soldiers. Also, another good parts source is Midwest Surplus.
