    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    Ok so what would be the best Allison transmission besides the 654 that would bolt right behind the nhc 250. Is there any difference in the bell housing between the engines used in the 809 and 939 series? If I can get an Allison transmission from an old bus and bolt it up I'm fine with it. If...

    You sir have not experience the blazing speed of a HET, lol Those bunk beds are there because it's going to take you three times as long as it would in a 920.

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    What about 5th wheel distance from rear, any issues with military trailers. I know Brett ran into a rubbing issue with a civi box trailer.

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    Sorry, 2 1/2, but still can't use the adapter to use a 2" pin. You keep trying to convince me to get a 915 but I want that 6x6.

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    So after taking to someone today I got to thinking about the options of a drop in solution for my 818. The talk of upgrading to a 931 was brought up but I figured if I were to get rid of the 818 it would have to be for a 1088. A 915/916 wouldn't work for me as the pin size is 3" and using an...

    Aluminum vs. Steel MRAP

    Watch out for the camian wheels. Those are just fmtv wheels and can be had in both steel and aluminum. It's all about the center hole size.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm happy I've been able to get out and work on it. The VA doc might just have gotten the right mix of meds :) As far as the seat, fits perfect. Going to make some cross brackets to hold all my radios and stuff, or just for shelves to go above the radios and inverter. I've got plans and ideas...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    From my build thread. Please be gentle, remember I am a genius when it comes to electronics and weapons. Fabricating isn't my strong point. Also, this is my first time mig welding (flux core). I've stick welded in the past, just not great. I'm getting better, just not where I'd like to be on a...

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Got a lot done the past couple days. Seats installed. Dash is almost complete, just need to smooth out the welds but it's starting to look snazzy. Back wall is back on, just need to finish stripping the lacquer off and repaint. Also need to fill the rust holes. That is fun given the thin...

    Dual fuel tanks

    See previous post I made. Two vehicles I can think of, mainly two I've driven in the Army that have cross a cross over line on the bottom of the tanks. Oh, and the kicker is the tanks aren't the same size.

    Dual fuel tanks

    The het and the 5 axle pls has dual tanks. Simple cross over line connection. I'm adding the cross over line to my 818 tanks, going to put something under it to protect it.

    Fort Hood (Killeen) TX recoveries, I'm here if you need help.

    I'll go on post Monday, can't do anything until then. Upon looking at pictures brakes were caged so that means truck was towed to it's parking spot. One thing to watch out for on hood units is missing fluids. I will check but if the diffs, trans, transfer, engine oils and coolant have been...

    I didn't realize I was that popular, lol. I'll scrub it. If she is a runner I'll drive her. I have to go to Zachary (orginal home) to pick up some more stuff to bring back to Texas.

    Make sure they will let you test using your tractor before you show up and they give you the run around.
