    M800 series / M900 series drum brakes hydraulic / air brakes ????? Please help..

    Man, I had all those parts last year when I converted my M818 to full dual circuit air brakes. I ended up putting them out for the scrapper guys. For you, Brother red...from when I did the upgrade to my truck. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask...

    What is the size and name of the air fittings on our trucks? (I broke one)

    Tear everything out and replace it with DOT reinforced nylon and push-to-connect fittings. Much easier to deal with and you'll be glad you did. Just my 2cents ;)[thumbzup]

    Passenger HMMWV springer seat: M818

    They might. The original shock measures 9 3/4" extended, 7" compressed (on bushing insert centers) and the bushing inserts are 1 1/4" wide.

    Passenger HMMWV springer seat: M818

    No, just a good pair of wire cutters/diagonal pliers and a firm grip. You have to get the cutting surface in far enough to get the leverage. It was fairly simple.

    Passenger HMMWV springer seat: M818

    I also replaced the return springs on the both sliding adjusters locks. I found a close match, but you have to cut the closed end loops making them into hooks to attach them. http://www.mcmaster.com/#9044k343/=1423imb

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Passenger HMMWV springer seat: M818

    After seeing too much of my son getting the dog snot beat out of him while riding down our washboard freeways, I swapped out the HMMWV seat base on the passenger side I installed several years back with an M939 springer base. I picked up a good used base locally that only needed a little...

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    That is a disservice to the seller and buyer as it is inaccurate. They need to do better homework before they falsely advertise :roll: eBay [thumbzup]

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    I hope you get those weight fees back. They are not require for "HV" plates. On a side note; is the CTA 8.3 engine CARB compliant? Not that it matters with "HV", I'm just curious.
