Your crew puts together some of the most impressive equipment on the market. Clean, very little, if any rust, and with very good tread remaining on the tires.
I drove this truck as its original heavy equipment transport system purpose in the Army. I think it would be cool also as cargo truck like the 5-ton series.
There's a truck that can take a full load of gravel and a Excavator to the job site. A 35 foot trip axle 50 ton tilt deck behind it with a D6 and a full dump of gravel still wouldn't reach its top GVWR..
Awesome.... So, this Beast can haul 85 tons of dirt, while climbing a 90 degree vertical mountain in the snow, survive a nuclear/biological attack or blast, going 45 MPH with 4 tires flat.... all the while LOOK GOOD doing it. :-)
The HET is rated for 170,000 lbs.Throw whatever you want at this truck.

20 tons of dirt and it might go up a 15 degree incline loaded. It's got a 2 stroke Detroit, they don't pull hills too well. My 8v92 has larger injectors and more boost pressure and it's still wont keep up with my small Cat.
Good looking truck. I'm sure it would haul way more weight than legal for its length. I think the side boards are overkill, and it would be impossible to load it with a backhoe or a skid steer. Some rock plants would have trouble getting their loaders over those boards. Cool truck though. Did you sell it?
Detroit Diesel, 8x8, dump box, automatic transmission, what more could you ask for in a truck, I'd like to see this brute plow some snow on the highways don't think anything would stop it
This truck looks brand new. What was the cost to acquire this vehicle. Unless you did upgrades which are outstanding. What type of license are required for this vehicle? Surely it will be for commerical use. It looks great. Does this truck have AC Unit on top? It appears you have the inside track on the auctions for military trucks. There has been a lot military trucks that are hardly used.
I wish I had the money to buy one of these trucks because my town would hate my guts because I would most likely be driving around town looking for scrap metal and then using this to take it to the scrap yard every month
OMG I love big trucks. This truck can really be useful in my cottage in Kentucky. I have 210 achers of trees 1 BEAUTIFUL hone and 2 big barns. I love cutting my own wood for the fireplace...
Is that truck powered by a Detroit 8v71 series engine, I curious if a Detroit 6v53 or a 6v71 series would fit in a M35a2 deuce without any drastic modifications?.
Truck in video has a 8v92. You can repower a deuce with a 6v53 or 6v71. You'd get better results with a 12 valve cummins and a Eaton 7 speed with a PTO.
@@bladenrexroth2555 : Thank you for your response. I've seen several Cummings upgrades in a M35a2 but never seen one powered with a Detroit, I guess there is a reason why. Thanks again. Kind regards Eric Dee
@@thevacuumtubejunky9774 a cummins provides maximum torque at a lower rpm. A detroit reaches it's torque at a higher rpm. Example. A 12 valve cummins with 300 hp should produce 800 ft #'s of torque. It will deliver 800 ft #'s at 1200-1400 rpm. A 300 hp 6v53 should produce around 800 ft #'s but it will deliver that torque around 2200 rpm. A 2 stroke tends to be more efficient when it's in higher rpms. The comfort zone of a 2 stroke is in higher rpms. A 300 hp cummins will give your deuce over double the HP and almost triple the torque. Using the eaton 7 gives you the ability for a really low gear for climbing and mud while also giving you a extra highway gear for cruising. If you find an Eaton 7 with a Pto? You'll be able to run your winch.
@@bladenrexroth2555 : Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, your explanation makes perfect sense, I have a co-worker who has a Dodge truck with a 6 cylinder Cummings in it, he claims pulling a 38ft 5th wheel from California to South Dakota he can average nearly 20mpg from his truck,and has absolutely nothing negative to say about the Cummings reliability. I'am not sure whether his truck is an automatic or manual but I about fell over when I heard of the mileage he's pulling off. Now about the transmissions, an Eaton compared to the factory M35a2 trans, is the gearing not suitable for the Cummings HP and torque curve, does the Eaton trans have 7 high, 7 low, how does that work IF you don't mind me asking?. Kind regards Eric Dee
@@thevacuumtubejunky9774 the eaton 7 come with a low first gear. Like a granny gear. The other 6 are highway gears. Hi/lo is achieved through the transfer case. Altought I wouldn't suggest going above 4th in low with the eaton 7. Lo 1st should get you out of most anything.
+The Way Of MGTOW for what you can pick them up for at auction, changing the gears would be a worthwhile investment. what a waste of 500 V8 horses !! lol
Your probable right about the aftermarket. BUT why would you want after market? Eaton sells everything you would need. Their not some weird, special, one of a kind axle. Actually their an "off the shelf" axle. Ring Gears, Diffs, Housings, HUB ECT ECT are all over the place..............
Haw about economical point of this build? is it gonna make profits as a dump truck, actually working, or just sitting and looking good for photo shoots? Army is buying it? TH
Voice of experience you're going to have two problems when you load it the tires are going to hit the bottom of the bed when you go through rough terrain the tires are going to hit the bottom of the bed if the material sticks in the nose of the bed when you dump it it will turn over been there done that got the T-shirt
