Tried searching but no luck. Does anyone know the D60 front axle spline count? Is the spline count at the differential 35 and the short shaft at the hub 30? Getting conflicting results, some people are saying 30 at differential and some 35. Thanks for helping.
I'm leaning that way of carting two also. Especially if I'm wheeling alone. How do you guys carry them securely, or just throw them in the back? Thanks again.
Do any of you guys carry more than one spare tire or do you think more than one is in the way or just takes up needed space? Thinking of caring two in my M1008 just kinda expensive to get another 35in tire and rim. Thanks for the information.
The picture above is a M812. The M821s have a flat bed with removable side racks and a large roller at the rear to drag off the bridge sections. They both have the same running gear though. To make them leagle you can run super singles. The motor is the cummins but it is not turbo charged...
Last time I checked, super singles with combat rims would run me around 2 grand not including shipping. That was with tires with 90-100% tread. So for now I have to wait till I get some other projects done.
Sorry I cannot sell the spacers and studs right now, I am still running the truck as is.
To make mine road legal all I was going to do is put on the "super singles" and remove the front spacers. Just have never been able to save up the money!! Too many irons in the fire!! :)
On my M821 Bridge Transport the rear axles and housings are longer than a regular 5 Ton. It only uses the spacers on the front axle. From what I have found out the reason they did this was for floation and stability purposes. I think they used this same set up on the M812 also.
Where the decue has the multi fule and the 800 series has the cummins I do not know if you would have all the parts.. Also I know that the heat exchanger needs to go on the opposite side on the 800 series because of the air intake and the front cover would be wrong because of the leather...
Really appreciate the info. I thought I had read that the 800 series 5 Ton 6x6s came with lockers but was never sure. My 821 is a beast, but I love it!! Thanks again!!
Does any one know if the M821 Bridge 6x6 came with lockers in the rear?? I know the cargo truck did and someone once told me that all the 5 Ton M809 series trucks did but just want to make sure. Thanks!!
