Howdy folks. Bought a m35a3 and figured I better join to find out how to fix the thing. And maybe find some deals on some parts.

Welcome to the site!
I have the rebuilt Allison 1545 that was going in mine, but I want a spicer manual. It has a direct mounted PTO and pump. If you put your truck in reverse or fourth and feel it slip, keep me in mind. The trans are a special breed, locking torque converter version of the 545... rare.

i do want to try and get the ctis working. yes i know some people claim its crap, but i want it to work if i can get it to. so far just seems the wheels have been isolated. will need to build new hoses to go from stud to valve as all of those are gone and i dont think it uses the hoses with the banjo fitting.

Gots a question on the front parking lights. Was looking at the diagram for the bulbs on big Mike's. It shows 4 bulbs in them. However mine has the 623 and the 1683 in the top but has a small board with led's in the bottom half. What turns those on?

Are those your "black-out" lights? Small, rectangular?
