Yes the truck is in good shape. Still have to test the 4wd to ensure the sprag and clutch are working. I was so tempted to do this out on the muddy farms I was seeing out on the midwest..lol! But getting stuck on some farmers land or leaving ruts on a well plowed field is un-American and I have...

Had been looking for some time for an M813 with winch. Not much luck and was always behind another buyer it seemed. Finally found one in decent shape and an excellent price but on the other side of the US from me. The rig was located near Detroit. I know that is a long ways away but I bought...

Your rig is great! Let us know how the turbo handles the extra rubber! Looks so Cool! I hope you get many a mile out of your work.

The Shear pin is like a mechanical "Fuse"? Interesting. When you did this hydraulic modification how did you tie in the hydraulic pump?

Looking into options on adapting an M939 series winch onto an M809 series 5 ton. Reservoir, PTO, Pump, Hydraulic lines,Drive and Winch. First off the M809 winch from what I am reading is the same as the M939 series... Correct? if so I need to adapt the Spicer driven PTO to drive the hydraulic...

With the three filters in series does that cause any issues with the lift pump wearing out faster from the extra "work"? To monitor the status of the filters is there a vacuum gauge that is placed in a "T" with the suction tube into the tank so you can see the suction dropping off? Is there a...

FLEETGUARD FS1000 is a 10 micron fuel water seperator. Fleetguard FS105 is a 20micron fuel filter Fleetguard FS1001 is a 140 micron fuel filter Do you suggest running two of the same filters in parallel? Such as dual FS1000 filters? When placing this inline what should the original fuel lines...

Wes, did you ever set up the 4 link? The first time I looked at the torque rods on these rigs I was like "Where is the other top link?". On the torque rod aside from age related hardening of the flexible rubber, are the reasons for failure the flex from articulation? Meaning the more off road...

All, if I buy an M816 what is needed to "convert" it down to just an M813. The differences after removing the Crane/bed assembly that I think I know are: 1. M816 has a heavy plated frame to allow the extra 15K + weight the crane assembly adds. (no modification needed for conversion) 2. M816...

Simp, On the 80-140w Syn gear oil. I live in Utah and the winter has temps down low for a good long time. If I run this in the axles the oil is going to be in the 140 range unless I hit the freeway for some time. I wonder if you would still recommend this for my area with the cold as I dont...

Love your 813...wow. I am so gelus Wow, love your 813! So gelous!

Simp, For me the novice, the BC 400 to fit in the old 250 slot requires: 1. Front and the rear engine mounts need to be modified to accommodate the larger engine size, 1/2" plate steel and some happy hockey pucks :)... 2. and aligned to have the engine sit to the passenger side slightly several...

I had thought that the M809 series didn't have air brakes, but had an air assisted hydraulic system. The M900 series has air brakes (and all the air tanks etc... I had thought that the breaks wouldn't transfer over... but your saying that even the M809 has a air interface for a trailer already...

If I am going to use the stock axles on an M809 series what interface is needed to adapt air breaks into the unit for a heavy loaded trailer of the type M1095 or M1082? Anyone done this before keeping the stock breaks?

Sorry to hear that! Bummer.

Anyone know where I can find the specs on the 5-ton axle width for F&R. To help with track width matching. I also cant seem to find any info specifically on the width or kingpin angle of the 5 ton front and width of the rear axles (wheel mounting surfaces). The only thing I can find says 79...

Here is another example of very different track widths... I like that the rear tires are flush with the side of the bed but the fronts are way way out there.

I was thinking that first pic was a M54 series only because the air box is on the left but then I remember reading your turbo setup and realized you have an air cleaner on both fenders... AWESOME job with the turbo BTW. Do you find the track width is very similar? How close... a few inches or...

What bead lock rims on a 5 ton will get a 16.00 tire to mount with near perfect scrub radius? Also it looks like some rims /hub flipping etc... cause a significant offset to the track width of the front and rear axle as shown below on a M54ish ride. What combination of wheels gets this...

It seems that the 6T-AGM is the stock battery for the M809/939 series... Correct? But I see in the 5 TON parts list that 8D batteries are listed and the 31 series.. From the sizes listed below the 8D batteries are virtually two 6T batteries put together. So I am a bit confused on that... I see...
