I use a M35-A3 duece single tire for feeding cattle it carries 6000# of feed with skidder chains on like a beast had snow up to the bumper many times have to back up several times but that girl will chew through it nothing sounds better then that cat whistling turbo.
I have owned two cargo versions of the M35a2 and two 5 tons 939 series cargo trucks M923A2. Runs this stuff like construction equipment. These folks that are stabbing the throttle constantly to sound cool are idiots, frustrating to watch the childish behavior. I just used mine for parades and events and kept them looking really nice. Ugh
I swear, Ram owners are the absolute dumbest people on this planet!! "Hey, look at me! I've got a Ram!! I also have a little tiny pecker and a brain the size of gnats ass." Idiots
This is not how to do it the right way. NEVER rev the engine, keep it at a steady speed. NEVER handle cable without gloves on. Leave plenty of space to pull whatever vehicle you're winching out. ALWAYS put a heavy mat over the cable in case it snaps to keep it from flying up in to the cab. Use the low speed for winching, not high speed.
@@dw7094 It's more common sense and experience. I used to be in a maintenance section with an M-62 5 ton wrecker... You have to be able to understand and anticipate physics. The manual is a good base of knowledge, but you have to be able to understand what is happening when you're recovering a vehicle.
The non-directional tires are shit, either ways the deuce would stomp it, this deuce has no bed and non directional tires and beat it. This would be worst if it had super singles and a bed
Shouldn't run gas. I think they came with a list in order of what is best to run in them and the only thing worse than gas was alcohol. They are still a diesel engine, so they need a lubricating fuel like oil or a higher sulfur content diesel to run right. It's just got an extremely robust fuel and injection system that can handle about anything.
Dont look like they know how to drive. LOW GEAR SLOW CLUTCH RELEASE. Cummings is a good motor but so is the international. BOttom line is they dont make trucks like they used to. Hell i pulled a dump truck out of a ditch one time with my 1992 chevrolet z71.
Schwab Cob nope. Old durable multi-fuel straight 6 making 130 (ish) hp and gobs of torque. Newer model Deuces have CAT 3112 & 3126, solid engines, more powerful, but not multi-fuel and picky on filters/oil changes.
@@promiscuouscrab4040 The M35A3 never used a 3126/C-7,that was for the FMTV after 1998.The M35A3 all used the 170 HP 3116.The M35A2 had a few Multi-Fuels such as a 135 HP LDT-465,168 HP LT-465,or a 175 HP LDS-465.The M35A1 came with a 134 HP LDT-427.And then the M35 or "M35A0" have a 127 HP OA-331 Gas.
They are all Multi-Fuel,no M35A2 came with a Cummins.And they do not make alot of Torque.The LDT-465 had 330 lbs of Torque,LT-465 has 445 lbs of Torque,and LDS-465 came with 447 lbs of Torque.The 7.2L Caterpillar has twice the lbs of Torque.
Boy this one looks BAD for the dodge! They are to far off on being close to the same weight, the Deuce has to many tires on it so no weight on the rummer, the tires on the deuce are NDT (non directional military) meaning they do good at NOTHING. The Deuce is not posi on any axle and last but certainly NOT least the Deuce has a obviously dodge killing 134 HP Multi-fuel diesel, certainly not the high tech Cummins of today. I have to say this was a match that the dodge by every rights should have walked away with, I do know that a GM or a Ford would have pulled that Deuce all over the place. The dodge has a great engine (Cummins) the automatics now have great transmissions (General motors) Great running gear (dana) it just must be the name Dodge??
Look at the angle of the tow strap. The harder the pickup pulls, the more it pushes the Deuce's rear end into the ground. The harder the pickup pulls, the more traction the Deuce gets.
@@bengrosser8722 Rockwell never built Lockers,they use Detroit lockers.Rockwell use to make air activated lockers for Oshkosh and Kovatch firetrucks while only 250 of them were ever manufactured.But they never ever made a locker for a deuce & a half or any other truck for that matter.On all of these trucks including the five ton trucks,the axles are the only thing from Rockwell.And they are not locked "all the time",these trucks have rear lockers and you can engage for 6×6,all of them have open front axles though.Basically it's 4×6,and not 6×4 or AWD.
You have no idea on anything to do with weight or gear ratio.It being from Dodge has absolutely nothing to do with it.Any F250-F550 with a Powerstroke,G.M. 2500-3500 with a Duramax,or Dodge 2500-3500 with a Cummins will always get dragged by a outdated deuce and a half.
The name of the game in tug of war is traction, in this case the deuce didn't have any weight over it's drive axles also the Deuce's drive tires were bald,now if the Deuce had weight over the drive axles and had drive tires with good tread,this tug of war would have turned out differently, all of the horsepower in the world won't do you any good if you can't get it to the ground.
That m35a2 deuce and a half has beat a cummins. M35a2 Deuce and a halfs are considered the most badass military trucks ever!!! Good job on the video bud
@@Slim_Slid The problem is that 5 tons are more likely to require a CDL, based on weight & payload. For instance, in Ohio, if a vehicle and its max rated payload is 26,001+ lbs, I need a CDL to use public roads. The Deuces, rated for 5 tons *on road,* count as a ~23,500lb vehicle in my state. The laws are a nuisance, and the tickets are expensive.
@@TheAttacker732 Well,you live in Ohio.I live in Texas,I do have a CDL anyways,but you don't need one to register any 2 1/2 Ton or 5 Ton trucks.If it is for hire or commercially in usage,that's a different story.But you can still take ownership of one much like a mobile home,even with the factor that they have air brakes.
@@Slim_Slid Yeah, Ohio has the same basic for-hire provisions. Also air brakes don't seem to have an impact on classification here either. That being said, I'm fairly sure I can register a 5 ton without a license, even get a plate & tags issued, but if I get pulled over, I'm effectively driving without a license. And that's a pretty big ticket. So, the state will absolutely let me pay for something I can't actually use.
