    N Arizona M1028 Build Thread

    Quote " Today I was able to finish the patch and start on some other things before a sand storm hit." Well, that's one way to sand blast the CARC off an old truck! The beast is looking good!

    m 211 weight?

    I don't know what it would be with the bed off, but the data plate should read "13,580 Lbs unloaded" Refer to TM 9-8024. It is on this site under the reference section. All 5 parts of it take a while to download, but it is a must have. With the singles, were they trying to make look like an...

    PTO and Winch Questions

    If the transfer case is the same, you are good to go. Please take some pics when you put the wrench in gear.

    Strange Truck

    [My place in Blaine is less than a mile from the border with Canada - maybe when they invade I'll get my chance. If a trip to the PNW Rally counts, well... I might even bring some good beer!:beer:

    Fuel Issue

    Filter or bad fuel. A vacuum leak would be a constant problem, and could not cause surging. Change the filters, and burn out the fuel in your tank. Cheap easy and fun! Can you say Road Trip?

    HEMTT Update

    I like my trucks to be green. After looking at your photos, now I'm green! (with envy). Dang you got nice toys. Which ones are you taking to the July rally? I may have to bring an extra memory card for the camera, as mine gets fuzzy!

    Winch Questions and Help Finding Parts

    The plates are standard on like transfer cases. The front springs are all made to handle the winch load. Guage panel, sorry, you'll have to ask someone smarter than me, or just mine the classifieds. I do know that some members here are very good with CNC machines, but you should not have to go...

    24volt to 12volt

    As has already been stated, the 24V system is a far superior system. I would keep it. As for running a 12V tap off of one battery, I would highly NOT reccommend it. It places an uneven load on an already old and tired system. The weakest part will fail quickly, usually taking out several other...

    M135/m211 axle rotation?

    If I wanted to make that truck better, I would put a Cummins "B" model and a Eaton 5 speed into it. The dollars are the constraint. The axles are more than sufficient to handle the power that is applied to them. It's a moody truck, but when it runs as designed....Dang I hate big hills!

    Deuce to trailer conversion

    I saw a Canadian one, where an M-135, was turned into a trailer for another M-135. I have no idea where they found the power to tow that beast. It looked real cool, but how that 302 pulled it is beyond me! Sorry, the pics expired when the For-Sale Ad did. If it was closer and had a winch, I...

    Military or Civi wrecker?

    Oh, just buy it Rob. You can make your money back by towing Frodo out of his perpetual mudhole!

    Looks like you just lost your truck! Now you have an excuse to get a matching play area.

    Dusenhoff?

    Well, I enjoyed the post. I have no interest in bidding on this truck, but I sure enjoyed the unintended humour! Maybe to not make the Mods have to get involved, the link may not have to be posted. I admire the job that the Mods. do, and there is no way in H__L that I would take it on!
