Every post so far that I have read has given suggestions about 6 speed manuals but never has gone into depth about what parts you need other than having to change over bell housing, clutch pedal etc. etc. however, if you know of the link to it I might have missed it there are a lot of posts on...

I've read on a lot of different posts here that the gap between 3rd-4th and 4th-5th is pretty bad, also have not found a suitable replacement for the tranny without serious modification to the truck. I am putting a turbo and was wondering if that will take up some of the lag in the shift points...

Thanks for that info as well.... probably will be going with the six speed so I don't have to modify the truck. It's good to know that it'll get rid of the gap between third and fourth.

Thanks for the response and the info. Hadn't actually thought about that do you know if the shift points between 4 and 5 are better than on the stock transmission? Basically just want a reliable more user friendly transmission but still want to retain the 6 wheel drive without having to do any...

I was thinking about swapping out my transmission in my XM818 to a Fuller 10 speed. Was wondering if it would mate up to the NHC 250 Cummins, or if there would be any clearance issues or anything like that? Would the stock clutch pedal work, would there even be enough room between the trans and...

guess you lucked out that you noticed it. I agree I think thats a major flaw in the suspension, hoping to come up with a better solution than stock cause they don't seem to be that reliable.

I would need 7 tires.... are they mounted on wheels or just the tires? If they're not on wheels is there any extra cost to not include the runflat in the tires I read they're a b**** to get out? And what would the price be?

Good to know guess I'll be scratching those off the list....

Thanks for all the info glad to know the HEMTT wheels don't need the run flats. Also good to know what weights involved.... guess with the info you provided I'm more headed to a HEMTT with a 49" I've also read the 53's really make the M818 under powered. I'm sure the 49's might slow it down a...

I was wondering what wheels come with the run-flats and what wheels don't? Also if a wheel came with run-flats do you have to put them back in? Been looking at HEMTT wheels, and also combat wheels, and I also noticed aluminum MRAP dually wheels just playing around with different size tires...

Thanks for the thread link I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for the heads up... guess I'll just go with the rubber ones then.

Thanks for the pic I got exactly what you're saying now should save me some time.... good idea. Also noticed when I was looking for new bushings there's rubber bushing and metal bushings other than the price is there really a big difference in the two?

What's the best way to remove the top torque arms on the rear suspension? I can get to the mounts on the axle and remove them easy enough the problem I got is trying to get the two that go on the passenger side on the top behind the leaf spring... I could take the whole spring off but would...

Thanks for the quick response The reason why I was asking was because I saw the dually mrap wheels for a good price and I noticed that they're normally 8 inches wide but normally they have the 12.00R20 on the rear and I don't really want to go smaller than a 49. I also noticed there's a...

Just wondering if the 14.00R20s would fit on the stock M818 11.00R20 wheel? Because the recommended wheel width for the 11.00R20 tire is 8 inches and the 14.00R20 is 10 inches would it be that much of an issue? Thanks

Thanks I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for the reply I was thinking it was about 10-12 gauge myself but wasn't sure.

Was wondering if anyone knows if there's a wiring harness kit? or Full on replacement wires? My trucks wires have all been spliced into by the previous owners and they're fried as well just wondering if anybody knows of a kit or if I could just rewire the whole truck with new heavy gauge wiring...

Thanks I ordered it today so when it comes I'll see if I can get it up there myself.
