Checking out the capabilities of my M35A2

[12valvepower1]

our f250 is about 22 mpg empty. 7.3l turbo diesel.

[ThePantyDroper]

@12valvepower1 What configuration? I have a 2011 f150 3.7 4x4 supercab with 3.73 gearing. I have a roush air intake as the only mod. I'm getting the same mileage as you. I really wanted a superduty but figured the gas would be too expensive

[DieselnDrums]

God that sounded heavenly.

[carguyzo6]

how many miles do you have on yours? I am looking at one on craigslist with 30k miles

[luckymisselala]

that turbo screams like me when i am happy LOL. ;)

[nthom1956]

@nthom1956 Correct on the 4/5 pattern. That was for comfort for the person who had to ride in the middle during moivement.

Thanks for the info, most of the trucks I drove were 1970's AmGen with the Continental multifuel, we did have a few old early 1950's M35's, Studebakers with REO gas engines with our radars mounted on them. They had the more conventional 4-5 pattern. Amazed the government changed the spec on the shift pattern over the years just for creature comfort. LOL

[IronManXXX]

Sure has a sweet sound.....

[OSCALETRAINGUY]

I wanT one, EVERYONE NEEDS one for the Coming ZOMBIE

ApOCaLypse...Weapons for close quarters what u got? A+

[tbird1028]

white power?

[krsjaw]

verticle... u fucking nitwit

[HFmonster]

the engine is considered multifuel but their is no compensator you have to pull the front cover on the engine and their are different timing marks on the injection pump gear one for JP8 (diesel) one for mogas (pump gas) one for kerosen and on some later models one for JP12 (avation fuel) IIRC great vehicles drove one in the army years ago cant wait to buy one for myself.

[runninonempiy]

Allways the know it all in the back ground....He gonna roll that fucker over..SHUT THE FK UP!!!!

[piratekiller13]

great video! i love the places our duces take us

[Gibby1776]

know where i can get one for 2 grand? im in california

[1993enforcer]

nice truck man

[unbastardoloco]

Can it go verticle? Can you go back to elementary school?

[kendelrio]

@unbastardoloco It's "nearly verticle"....

[jabba12000]

It probably took you all of 2 mins to discover the capabilities of 13000 pound truck that makes 134hp and just 330 foot-pounds torque and has a top speed of less than 60.

[KlineDeere]

put four big floatation tires on the back and a manure tank and you'd have yourself a decent manure truck

[ewbowyer]

Wicked trucks! I'm dying to get one one day!

[Rednckchristmas]

smuggling mexicans acroos the border, eh?

[DaylanNelson]

nice vid watch 1,000 times not joking

[monster92us]

ITS NOT A JEEP

[StoneColdStangle]

@monster92us IT'S MADE BY KAISER JEEP YOU FUCKING SHISNO! HOP IN THE CAB OF ONE AND READ THE FINE GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING PRINT! RIGHT ON THE FUCKING PASSENGER DASH!

[kendelrio]

@monster92us Um, yes it is. 1969 Kaiser JEEP.....

[oscr112]

hey you broke a pine, asshole!!!

[kendelrio]

@oscr112 I broke your mom too....

[OnlyAKnife]

anyone else thinking about rambo?

[guitarguy30000]

im liking the tree at 3:08 lol

[nthom1956]

@XXdetonator890 Also, manual 5 speed stick shift with a slightly odd shift pattern (4 and 5th reversed from what you would expect), and first is normally used for off-road or heavy loads, an empty light loaded truck can start off in second gear.

[kendelrio]

@nthom1956 Correct on the 4/5 pattern. That was for comfort for the person who had to ride in the middle during moivement.

[nthom1956]

@XXdetonator890 AWD or part time 6WD? LMAO! No you engage front axle with air pressure by a switch under the dash. Transfer case with high and low range is old fashioned floorboard lever.

[XXdetonator890]

Are deuces AWD or do they have they part-time 6wd?

[thelasthallow]

who is the guy at 2:50 You can hardly hear him but hes like OH WHen he comes down he is going to hit the bumper and get stuck. and then you hear hims say or he will roll over.

This guy don't know shit about these trucks

[kendelrio]

@thelasthallow Ironically. he's in the Army National Guard and has never ridden in one....

[freddythestandard]

@kendelrio national gaurd is like glorified police

[wolfdenpaul]

@thelasthallow I drove those in the Army for a number of years, so I know a lot about them, my mos was 64C-driver and I worked in the motor pool, I drove a lot of different kind of stuff, all the way up to tracked vehicles, this M35 A2 is one tough cookie, damn near impossible to get stuck. I also had to teach new comers to drive out in the field, hey kendelrio nice video, and lasthollow nice comment. A veteran-Paul.

[12valvepower1]

built when america knew how to build things

[12valvepower1]

like i said. america baby.

[darkharmonics]

Scaredie Cat!!! It's a bad ass truck!

[darkharmonics]

Scardie Cat!!! It's a bad ass truck!

[dodgedakotafan]

i whats the mpg  of those beast?

[kendelrio]

@dodgedakotafan ~10 mpg.

[wolfdenpaul]

@kendelrio  also whats the insurance like, and I take it plates are not cheap

[nthom1956]

Gotta love the Deuce! Drove several on a regular basis for 3 years while in the Air Force during the 1970's. They were 74 model AM General M35A2 with the Continental LDT465 whistlers. Everyday drivers to our radar sites. Loaded and towing on convoys. Even carrying our 13,000 lb radar units (yes that is above max loading, truck didn't know the difference). Seeing these trucks on youtube again brings back memories. Dang, now I want to go out and buy one!

[kendelrio]

@nthom1956 If ya reeeallly want one, I can hook you up. PM me....

[Torqu3d]

Man I love the sound the turbo makes in these trucks

[MWFrontier]

Was there really any doubt? Ha!

[smartepants777]

How hard are the clutches to use on one of these things? I already know they don't come with power steering and all.

[kendelrio]

@smartepants777 No more difficult than the clutch in a pickup. The thing to remember is not to ride it....

[bradman1012]

@kendelrio how much does one of these cost ?

[grzenkman]

@smartepants777 this is where a mercedes unimog feels home....

[dodgedakotafan]

hi can you answe me wath is the bes engine between the multifueler and the cummins?

[kendelrio]

@dodgedakotafan Multifuel is a designation. The engine has a fuel compaensator on it to allow multiple fuel uses. My truck has a White in it. I prefer the White over the Cummins.

[dodgedakotafan]

@kendelrio thnx

[wolfdenpaul]

@kendelrio How come you prefer the white over the cummins

[dodgedakotafan]

hi can you answe me wath is the bes engine between the multifueler and the cummins?

[kendelrio]

@dodgedakotafan You'll hear a thousand arguments, but I prefer my White. (Multifuel is merely a fuel compensator added to the engine.

[shamuslauer1]

can u say DUEL MILLITARY WHIPS AND A NICE CB???

[miro19dj]

:) ok

[MegaCountryboy92]

2:50 thru 3:10 hell yea. i want 1.

[dodgedakotafan]

[dasani110]

[goldcoastflyer]

[rebal442]

@goldcoastflyer this was 7 or 8 years ago my friend

[goldcoastflyer]

@rebal442 Ok, so I take it it's not there anymore? I do hope you got it back.

[rebal442]

@goldcoastflyer yes, they notified us and its back in our possetion

[goldcoastflyer]

@rebal442 How long did it take to get it back? because these things rust!

[beegledog2]

[92greenz34]

ur friends/family doubted your deuce!!! lol the need to know the regular vehicle rules dont appy to your deuce... like if a tree is in the way... you dont need to go around... it will go around the deuce!!! nice truck man!!!

[baitcaster10]

The Deuce and a half did not have power steering so it kicked your ass off road only the 5 ton's and up had power steering USMC 1978-82

[xmodrock]

how much does one of these cost



[kendelrio]

@xmodrock Anywhere from USD $1500.00 to $6000.00 depending on where you buy it.

[xmodrock]

@kendelrio so buying one.. they street legal?

[shamuslauer1]

@kendelrio how hard is it to drive...i kno stickshift and i can drive my f150 anywhere anytime.. whats this pig like?

[jan585]

@kendelrio is one of 1500 a good one or a piece of crap?

[clevername333]

I love rednecks. God bless you all.

[bearincamo]

I had one....Gosh I miss it. We called it 'Babe' the green ox. :D (I was gonna paint it blue and call it Babe the blue ox. haha)

[33countryboy]

i'd love to have one of these trucks,.... never have to worrie about not makin it to work in the winter time:P

[b20ef]

awsome, i want one.

[pielover48]

im gunna get one before i die

[FF4X4]

Thats a nice truck. I love the whistler turbo on the deuces. I prefer the 5-ton with the 250 cummins though. But nothing sounds better than that multifueler with the whistler turbo.

[kendelrio]

@FF4X4 I agree 100% 

[chrischan9100]

this truck sounds like rock n roll love it

greetings vrom germany

[Knhtwolf]

does this have the multifuel motor

[kendelrio]

@Knhtwolf  Yes.

[DevinL16]

amazing turbo. light on fuel?

[kendelrio]

@DevinL16: Relatively. I get about 10 MPG in it.

[DevinL16]

@kendelrio amazing truck anyway

[kendelrio]

@DevinL16 Thanks.

[rooftopeagle]

@kendelrio 10mpg? wow I've got a dually F-340 that gets 14! I was thinking more long the lines of Gallons per mile not miles per gallon!

[gmc0422]

Yeah! Looks like she's (the M35A2, not the driver) having a good time! Did some of this whilst stationed at Fort Hood in the late 1970s in a model very similar to this one.

[georgewashington92]

damn thats a cool truck,my dad loved this truck during his army time ,now I know why

[Philnatic1776]

looks like a lot of fun !

[21Laser]

The old M35 can still hunt. I need to get mine out soon too...

[capulina171081]

aburrido, haría lo mismo con cualquier SUV

[kendelrio]

@capulina171081 I have no idea what the hell you said......

[kendelrio]

@capulina171081 Ahhhh. I translated..... Yeah... boring, but as I explained IN ENGLISH.... No estaba seguro de capablilities º de la camioneta y no quiere correr el riesgo de encallamiento mis amigos.

[44CONMANJ]

@kendelrio I recognize this song but I can't put my finger on it.

[kendelrio]

@44CONMANJ "Rock and Roll" by Zepplin.

[kendelrio]

@44CONMANJ Rock And Roll. Led Zepplin.

[sschey]

Fucking awsome!

[Andewsfarm]

i want one too :(

[bloodreighn]

Is it me.. or are you pussy footing that truck?

[kendelrio]

@bloodreighn I had just got it and didn't know what it could do....

[XxClemsonTigersXx]

@kendelrio how much did you pay for it?

[kendelrio]

@XxClemsonTigersXx A lot less than you would imagine.

[bradman1012]

@kendelrio hey man how much that cost ya i ben wontin to no ?? thanks

[willemvdr12]

Nothing more fun than playing with an old big off road vehicle in the woods.

These old things are alive, all that new shit with all their computers and stuff, that isn't real anymore, that are robots.

[tboy1022]

do you need a cdl to drive one on the road

[straigthsix]

@tboy1022 in kentucky at least: no. i just came across one for sale ... i am seriously considering buying it just for the hell of it.

[THEPRODUCTOR2008]

@straigthsix I GOT ONE IN FL.

[PorscheTech911]

@tboy1022 nope!

[truckr74]

M35 a2, the little truck a soldier cant kill

[slinky460]

You should get a front end winch with snatch blocks. If you can find the rare pipeline Duce and a half, it had a big rear winch also that you can adapt to the M35A2. These trucks can take a licking and keep on ticking, but they will roll over if you get sideways on a steep grade. Other than that, I always thought they were safe to drive and I ran them through some rough places in Vietnam.

[elvis237]

Those look like good trucks. Where can I get more info?

[kendelrio]

@elvis237 If you are looking to buy, PM me....

[400exrider92]

@kendelrio How much you sell it for?

[penguingt]

@kendelrio rough est on how much a running one would cost?

[LUCIMIL]

Not bad, wasn't that much shown on that video. Have a look at TATRA 148, 813, 815. It's jaw dropping...

[CircleJerkersofNG]

If your truck breaks down. Where do you get the parts to fix it? Any help?

[PorscheTech911]

@CircleJerkersofNG NAPA has parts!

[kendelrio]

@CircleJerkersofNG There are suppliers all over the country. Also I have a network of friends on Steel Soldiers that I can rely on to help me find parts.

[boomerrogers]

@CircleJerkersofNG parts are easy to find and they are cheap.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

Whoo! Led Zeppelin!

Oh yeah, nice truck btw...

[DevinL16]

motherfuckin turbo on that son of a bitch......i would make love to that truck

[RaptorGP]

Could you tell me: how many hp does it have?

[mitchalvin]

The common multifuel diesel engine with turbo is about 135 Hp.

[Sniperinhisname]

That is the meanest mother fucking truck ever put on the face of the earth by man. Easiest way i can think of putting it.

I'm getting one this summer

[Mctaggart6412]

@Sniperinhisname whats up boy. summer's almost over ya got ya one yet?

[32degrees50]

I had to turn one into a brush truck ounce it turned out awesome. You cant stop them I had to take the one I was working on in to a junkyard and get a hard top for it. Well the road up the hill was cluttered with old wrecks and the bumper would catch them and they would go flying up in the air not even a dent to the bumper. Not very nimble but very very capable. They also suck on long trips the seat sucks hurts your butt something awful.

[SirAceMcFly]

Nice Hobby!

[truckr74]

one of the cool things about them, their chep. i mean you can pick them up for $4000 or less and parts are easy to come by

[SmokinJoeCamels]

Well ive been told you can shoot the motor and itll still run even with a few rods flying out.

[damnmyusenamewastook]

im making one rite now i took the car engin out of a peterbuilt i made a damnthick exoskeliton on the front put a flat bed on the back and raised it up im busy making some custome coo hydrolic crusher on the front

[kendelrio]

@damnmyusenamewastook Ummm. then what you are making is not an M35A2. Sounds cool, but not the deuce....

[45x45bw]

dang, these are the most reliable trucks in the world, i bet if you roled them down a hill and off a cliff, and then burned it, it'd still starts a take anything like the day they roled out of the factory

[BVFDeng3]

I need to get myself one!!

[wagon455]

only problem with these rigs is if you get stuck a buddy with a jeep wrangler won't be pulling u out haha.

[IronicallyVague]

Thats why sooner or later everbody feels the need to buy a second M35a2 to pull out the first one, soon follows buying an ambulance for the gear..

Then you never see your wife again..

God I love these trucks

:-P

[shiftedx2]

and thats why you bring a winch

[kcartersta60]

These things are unbelieveable. They go through EVERYTHING, including trees.

[TheSparklighter]

Nice. I think this is the best compilation in a short video I have seen of the M35. Nice work.

[nasonguy]

Nice setup!

Sorry for the ignorance, but are those rears locked?

Your wife was pretty funny at the end.

[stuntmanmike37]

Hey, do these things need state inspection, and do you need any special licensing to drive them? How does a title transfer work? Is there one?

[kendelrio]

No. No. Like any other title. Yes.

[braxxtonn]

how much could a guy buy one of these for???

[kendelrio]

Depends on what you want to pay and how much work you want to put into it. You can get them anywhere from 1k up to 50k depending on what all is done to it.

[MrZhiza]

is it American army truck? Compare it with Kamaz, Zil and Ural trucks.

[kendelrio]

yes, it's American. If I had those other trucks, I gladly would.

[oldrumer4u]

@kendelrio I started in the Marine Corps on a m151 jeep, then was issued a "deuce and a half" like you just saw, later i was moved up to the m54 5ton , then the m813 5ton cargo truck, but the most fun i ever had was my m35a2 deuce, that little shit could hold out to get the job done, under some of the worst conditions,when isaw this video it brought back some Great memories,especially when we had a convoy of 15 to20 trucks haulin ass to support a unit in need of Beans Bulliets Or Bandages

[oldschoolbbass]

The Army is making ahuge mistake getting rid of these trucks. The Cabover FMTV's that they are repplacing them with are complete junk.The M-35 was in production from 1952-1993

[spiralsoflight]

Why is it that I never see these in off road trials with the European trucks? They would definitely be good competitors. If you can find any videos of these in competition please send them to me.

[thecarguy9195]

do i need a special licnese to drive this truck

[VFA103JollyRogers]

It depends on the state like Minnesota doesn't

[kevlarorc]

will it run on butter? :D those trucks look so cool. I don't really know anything about engines and whatnot but those M35s just look so badass.

[Spewedonyou]

Butter? It will run on vegetable oil with minor mods.

[MrBmxRacer]

How old is that, and Is it hard to manage?

[kendelrio]

It's 40 years old, and not really.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Thats one very capable truck

[kendelrio]

Yes it is....

[Milner62]

I have been wanting one of theses for a while now. Only thing is I kept hearing that if you get from a government auction site its hard to get a title to it cause they dont provide the proper forms. But if that wasnt a issue I would gladly get one if I could get a running one for $500 or so that needed to be worked on.

[kendelrio]

You can find them for $500.00 but it you would need to put several K into them. Best bet is to find one from a private dealer (they have them) and go ahead and spend the money to get one thats ready.

[Milner62]

I looked locally on craigslist (found two but they are flat beds I prefer the troop carrier style) and both looked very good and complete but they were $5,000 and $8,000. Likewise if they need alittle work I am not concerned since I have been restoring cars. Just needs to be complete enough to be drove since I am sure it would be pricy to have one towed.

[dogcrick]

haha! Love how every one thought it couldn't make the down hill! It can do way more than that! Wish I had one.......

[xxTHExEYExx]

nice throttle control,

[kendelrio]

Thanks.

[irelandpat4]

where did you get it?
