I've drove few times of M35A2 during my military time in Taiwan (year 2002). First time was during driving training. Second time was driving down mountain base to fix our M35A2 and which doesn't have any brake (I only have 1st and 5th gear......), that almost killed me and my chief........ Third time was during military exercise....... I was throw into the door because I hit a big pothole and there were no power steering to help me...... I kind of miss how bad it was.....

My uncle has one of these. It has the radio room back on it instead of the open bed, which he converted to a camper and restored the rest of it. Replaced the original engine with a brand new one. He also turbocharged it so it would no longer be out run by school buses. These can be bought for pretty cheap because the military loves to throw away perfectly good equipment in favor of new stuff.

Hydroboost like its name suggests uses the hydraulic power steering pump to help with the braking. However, while going slow around a turn, you will have to muscle the steering wheel a bit. The Chevy Astro/GMC Safari vans used hydroboost, mostly because a brake booster would not fit very well or at all.

Hmm, did i got something wrong about air-brakes..? Because i thought that you don´t brake with air, you release the brakes with air. The brakes itself are applied by heavy springs. So, if you loose air pressure the vehicle will stop and you won´t be able to move it before air-pressure is restored.
@Bladsmith
6 жыл бұрын
One side gets pressure to release the parking brake spring, the other gets pressure to actuate the brake. If pressure is lost, the spring takes over and applies the brake. The parking brake and working brake are separate sides of the same system.

The deuce was equipped with single circuit hydraulic brakes, that were boosted with air. So it has 6 hydraulic drums with an airpack near the master cylinder boosting braking force to 1800psi if I remember correctly. Therefore if a wheel cylinder fails, you lose all brake force except for engine braking, and the incredibly weak driveline parking brake.
