My problem seems to have almost fixed itself. Barely noticeable at all anymore. Most of the time the little hiccups have completely gone away.

OK... power steering pump bracket broke. Got another bracket. Got the old power steering pump out and got a new one ready to go in, with new pulley too as I could not get the old one off. Actually when I got the bracket I got a another pulley also tossed in. So, I gave up fighting to get the...

I have my interior and exterior lined (Speedliner) and it did next to nothing for sound or heat. It is real nice though and wouldnt hesitate to do it again. I have also used the do it yourself Herculiner and it doesnt come close to comparing to a Rhino, Line-X or Speedliner job.

I have the interior and exterior of my M1009 lined (Speedliner). It did next to nothing for sound proofing.

I just put 22 gallons in mine the other day, so I am guessing its more than a 20 gallon tank.

Found out the same axles are used in the 2.5t and the 5t.

Wonder why. The axles were offered with a limited slip option and also a full locker option. I would think that at least a limited slip would come into play as a benefit in the military trucks.

Trying to find the right dealer that will work with on part numbers to find the rotors. Anyone know of such a dealer that would be willing to spend some time on this?

Do the FMTV trucks come with lockers?

Good to know. Do you know what the above differences are? Thickness and backspacing? Preferably, I would like the one with more backspacing and lighter weight.

For my trip, I kept it around 60-65 and got 20.

What the ****, I will toss in an update. 20.7 for the 800 miles home from SC to MI. Not bad. Getting about 17 to and from work. Some city and some 2 lane country roads.

But, the question still remains.... can the 5 tons be used on the FMTV wheels. My concern comes from the planatary ends... are they too big for the center hole on the 5 tons rims? This is my most likely route... but, they are HEAVY. Not sure what the weight on the 5 tons are.

Once I get my hands on the axles... I will start taking measurements and see what i can come up with. I saw on Avin Meritors website a pdf for dozens and dozens of rotors. One of them will HAVE to fit and give me enough room to make up some caliper brakets.

33x12.50s on a 16.5 inch wagon wheel. All stock suspension. No rub anywhere.

Thanks! Do you know if the 2 axle and 3 axle versions use the same axles? I was told that they do.

This link is no good.

I see on Arvin Meritor's website that the RF-611 axle (which is what I am pretty sure is under the current FMTVs) has an option for disc brakes. Has anyone actually seen one with disc brakes?

Are the terms interchangeable or is there really a difference?

Nice confirmation. Thanks. Just wondering if there is a difference between the two. Any reason I should look for the FMTV over the 5 tons?
