    Pintle Hook Repair

    Tap it with a hammer, and gently pry with a large screwdriver/prybar. You will have to work it back and forth, but it should start to loosen up after a little effort. THen grease well.

    Question about an M820 Cummins engine

    The only mixture I have run in my 250 is BIO diesel( treated WVO with all the water and goop taken out) or pump diesel mixed 50 :1 to filtered old motor oil or 2 cycle gas oil. The 250 likes the 2 cycle oil the best- she hums right along, running cooler, and with more power then pump diesel.

    Dukw progress thread

    Radials on a 70 year old truck. Who'd guess they would fit. Can't wait until the Imperial 1st Sargent makes Imperial Captain, and takes the DUKW for a swim. I will sign up as 1st mate, and Ferro can be in charge of the engine room.

    Trying to hang in here on new updates

    If you go to the bottom of the "who's online" page, you can change the number of listings per page, and who is being shown. I set mine to "members only", and 100 entries. Cut way down on the number of pages.

    has anyone used a M931/M932 to take a CDL test?

    As long as you have a trailer, with full airbrakes(no air over hydro), you should not have a problem. The 931/932's are civi tractors anyhow, built up to military specs. You may not get a full CDL however, as they have autos, and some states make a distinction between auto and manual trannys...

    5ton life span ?

    I think the high rpm's are the only drawback to long life for a 5 ton. I see no reason why a 5 ton chassis can't go 500k miles. The only two weak links are the dogbones and the rubber boots up front. The motor will need rebuilding before the a regular class 8 truck, that only because of the...

    M923 Recovery GA to CO

    If you thought your 923 has a big turning radius, you should try a M814 or M928. Better clear out an acre to make a u turn.

    Upgrade complete

    While it has taken some getting used to( I miss seeing who is online on EVERY window, or pane and who is in chat), the upgrade is by far a step upwards. The new chat is wonderful, and I think we all had a blast last night(11-21-12).

    816 vs 817 actual mpg and range?

    Depends on the type of driving and load... My M814 (25k on the hoof) gets 6 or so on the open road- I have a range of 360 miles before I "HAVE TO" stop and refuel. Same truck in town, or any type of stop and go driving, 5 miles a gallon..........
