Big time, can’t wait !,,,, more please.

We just dropped C-rats down the exhaust.

I'd want the CAT over any of the others. I prefer a manual gearbox, but the CAT is just a toughass motor all the way. Nice!

The Military went to Allison Trans because so few people know how to drive stick anymore . BTW , love the Cat engine and it has not given me a lick of trouble !

Some of the early postal service airplanes ran on peanut or castor oil.

They dropped the multi fuel for a variety of reasons, the military went to a single fuel. As other fuels became less common as the non diesels were coded out over time, there was need for it. Also the multi fuels would have to have an oil change after using certain other fuels. Performance on some fuels was so lack luster it really wasn't worth the effort.

The British had a multifuel tank, the Challenger, that didn;'t work 65% of the time because it was multifuel. The Abrams works because it is a turbine.

Nøderak Russians as well the T-80U but cost like 4 times more than the V-12 and eventually the performance of the V-12 improved to the point their were no benefits of the Turbine besides it's ability for multiple fuels but Diesel is the most common. South Korea has a few T-80U that the Soviet Union gave as a way to pay their debt lol meanwhile NK is still rolling old t-54

That’s what I have, bought it this summer from Boyce Equipment out of Ogden , Utah. There awesome people.. I also drove a Studebaker for a bit but they finally had to let her go in Fort Hood.

Any problems yet?

No problems yet. Thanks for asking it's sitting in the driveway. Now I'm dealing with California laws on trying to get it registered street legal and that is a pain

Steelsoldiers.com has lots of info.

My information came from the military's technical manuals and personal experience but I'd like to see the source of your information. Other than some of the A3 shopvans those c-code engines were phased out in the 80's and replaced with the d-code engines in many of the M35a2 trucks (including mine). Later, those same M35A2s were refurbished into the A3 with the auto transmissions and cat engines. The last year for the M35A3's manufacture was 1999 and then the military started replacing them with much more modern trucks such as the M1083 and MK23. Thanks for watching and I wish I had access to a 5-ton but as of right now I have no plans to get one.

***** Besides some articles and wikipedia ( not reliable I know) It was a conversation with my friend in the Army now and I spoke with him again and he was talking about the M109A3 Shopvans not the M35 I was wrong.What he was talking about is that it isn't strictly with in regs but some of their shop vans would get shot up and they would remove the shop box and put a bed off a an M35 on the chassis and when brought back state side a shop box would be put back on. I wasn't doubting your sources just wondering how new they were.

I did a video on that! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j-CPgrKYvpzMp6c.html

To get a video on this would be good, it take a couple of guys to do it though.

John Orven Tano ya

Why wouldn't you be able to? Just make your own piping. You may however want to figure out a way to put a slight amount more fuel into the motor since your air will be denser going into motor.

When the military upgraded to the A3 version of the M35 trucks they swapped in much larger and more modern tires and at the same time dropped down to singles some call this the super single. The A3 6x6 set up is much more capable in slippery conditions vs. the M35A2 but that's mostly due to the modern tread on the tires. Some M35A2 Deuce owners will swap out the rims and tires with larger and more modern versions making the swap to the super singles necessary in order to fit the much larger tires under the bed. If I were a huge off road/rock crawler type I'd go for the super single set up but personally I prefer the classic look of the ndt tires.

Daniel Zeman duels tend to have a higher weight capacity and better handling under a load (trailer sway) singles tend to have better mpg, increased mobility (tighter turn radius) and typically better off road performance

First of all, I think you will find the 9x20 tires are still plentiful and far less expensive. Difficulties in changing split ring rims for the 9x20 dual tires is what leads many people to shy away and to prefer the more expensive super singles and that is more a matter of rim type, rather than tires. I will say that changing split ring tires can be problematic but with care and some common sense it can be done even at home but because of the hazards involved it is becoming a lost art. Singles, on the other hand, are most often found on rims that can be bolted together, making tire maintenance (and installation of a run-flat bead locker) and even airing down a tire far easier. However, there is one undeniable benefit realized from running on duals and that is, if you lose inflation on one tire you have a second tire right next to it to drive on. Finally, the archetypical non-directional military is designed for off-road use. Considerations for use on improved roads take a back seat on these tires. They are less safe on wet roads than super singles because, despite that classic military tread pattern that everybody loves, that part of the tire that rides on the pavement is essentially a slick, without sipes to channel water away from what little rubber surface area that is in contact with the road. There are may pros and cons to be considered and much of this will come down to what you are going to be doing with your truck and your skill level and how large your pocket book is.

Robert Rendla Even though the Deuce is the Rambo of pickups it's wise to also remember that they're old vehicles that spent most of their life being driven by G.I. that couldn't have cared less about them. For around town it's good to have a set of SAE wrenches, screwdrivers, duct tape, and plumbers tape in case you need to patch an air line (no air pressure = no brakes). I need to do a video on the idea of using a Deuce as a daily driver because I get asked this question often. Is it possible? Yes. It'll take twice as long to get anywhere and you'll smell like engine oil after 5 miles, fuel cost will be pretty high, no AC and the firewall will transmits engine heat into the cab, and it's super loud. Drive a lawn mower on all your trips under 5 miles and every where else you go drive there back home then there again for a few months then you'll know about what it's like. The truck can do it but I'm pretty sure I can't. I've got a 40 mile commute and it was 97 degrees F today with 80% humidity.

@@deuceandguns thank you B.C. I’m a fan of yours. Yes I try using my Bobbed Deuce almost as a daily driver pretty much. So that’s my concern also. I’ve been filling up my box below the driver but am getting a box soon, For in the back of the truck so that I can even lock up with a few emergency parts & Tools, materials, glues, oils, great, ect,,. I ‘m in a rugged mountain part of WV. & use on the freeways, highways and Off road areas a bit. I want to get a couple of High Lift jacks maybe , thought they may come in handy. So if you can do some sort of Prep Video for us that would be Super Great ! Even if you don’t use all the stuff yourself but what a person may or could use in tough situations. Self reliance is great. Thanks B.C.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! None if the multi-fuel engines in the M35 series military trucks were equipped with an intercooler and some didn't even have a turbo but it is possible to add one. It's been done a few times but there is no kit available so it'd be a custom job. Also, those who have done them have stated that there is not a big change in performance even when increasing the fuel pressure above what could be done sans intercooler. Good question!

cjmotorsified, you can get all of the filters at your local Napa auto parts store. Reasonable prices also.

Trans is hydramatic not Allison. But another they are still cheap!

lol, I know, right? that's like the second or third video he jumped like that

+rodney perry I also burn my mouth every time I get pizza...I never learn. :)

***** I guess we all have our quirks, lol

You can order the headgasket and changing one would be the same as any diesel engine.

Cody6210 put a 12v71 Detroit diesel engine and a manual transmission

you could get a m818 which is the basically the same truck but they have the cummins

The Holset HE351VE or HE351CW depending on if you want VGT or not. Those things whistle so damn loud. Basically any holset. He HX35 is pretty quite though.

You've heard correctly. The fuel pressure can be increased to increase power but even the slightest bump in fuel pressure can be catastrophic to the engine in regards to burning a hole through a cylinder. If you really want to do it install temp sensors in the intake and exhaust manifolds to monitor what's going on and verify you're not destroying the engine. I personally wouldn't do it because it's not going to add much power at all and any real power gains can only be found with an engine swap. I've heard that some Deuces were set with lower pressure so if you're having trouble maintaining 45-50mph in 5th on level ground then I'd open up the TMs and verify that the fuel pressure is set to stock.

Robert Rendla I personally prefer the multi fuel over the cat and would still get a multi fuel. Both engines are good but they cater to different types of owners. Here are a few pros and cons between the two. The multi fuel is easier/cheaper to work on if you're doing it yourself, gets better mileage, burns any type of fuel, has the manual transmission, and is just as fast as the M35A3. The Cat 3116 is much more powerful for hills and towing but won't go any faster due to gearing, has the automatic transmission, only runs on diesel, easier to find a mechanic willing to work on it, and the M35A3 will have better tires for off road. Thanks for watching.

The M35A3 is a good truck. The only areas where the M35a2 is better is the multi-fuel capability and fuel economy. With the auto trans and more power you'll drop a few MPGs (5-8 vs. 9-12 HWY) and they only take diesel so no dumping the old used motor oil and chainsaw gas in as fuel. The Cat 3116 is a good engine used in many commercial applications and will stay good as long as you keep an eye on the fluids and maintain it accordingly. Use only stuff made for heavy duty diesels (Diesel engine oil, Diesel Antifreeze with the the SCA added, etc.) Maintenance will take twice as long and cost 3 times as much as a regular sedan. Keep the speed below 50 and check the fluids before starting, after shutting down, and after any water crossing. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Thanks for Subscribing!

Pretty much. Depending on your setup you may need some of the old plumbing as well.

Off the top of my head. The m809 has a larger/stronger engine but only runs diesel. Is slightly bigger overall and will hold more weight while off road (the deuce is rated to haul 5-ton on the hwy only). Gets about half the mpg as the Deuce and weighs 5-6,000 more. In most ways they are very similar.

92HondaEX You also definitely need a CDL for the M800 series (unless you register it as a farm truck, in which case you only have to be 18 and have a driver's license, but can't use it outside of 150 miles from your farm and can't use it for anything not immediately farming related), whereas the Deuce n' Half only needs a valid driver's license.
