    Military vehicle show Oct 15 11AM-1PM

    In my experience, covering fuel expense goes a long way towards getting a number of trucks. and 15 is a tall order, even in the city. Having 9 last year wasn't a bad showing either. There is a MV show in Sterling Hts on the same day too.

    Winch problems!!!!

    If it is under tension, why not unwind it by rotating the input yoke? The shear pin is already out.

    Black Rock Fab 8" Hanger Relocation Lift Kit

    While I think an 8" lift and 53's to be excessive. Looks well engineered and made!

    m1028 axle gear ?

    Well, they didn't come that way. Could have changed out the D60 front & 14bolt rear with lighter duty units.

    balancing 37" and 36" hummer tires.. not working out

    36 inch bias plys no balancing at all, they round out pretty good once they heat up.

    M35 axel heat?

    I'll stand by my enginneering, machine design & repair, racing & mechanical experience along with temps taken on a dozen or so trucks over the last few years. While I haven't run SPC charts on these findings, I have checked enough to see a pattern. That pattern is that the right rear hubs...

    M35 axel heat?

    You are confusing downforce with the force required to move the truck, this force is lateral. The lateral force to move 13,000# on a set of tires is greater than the lateral force of pulling a set of tires if they had the exact same gravitational (down) force. Remember, we are talking minor...

    M35 axel heat?

    While the actual weight (down force) is close, it is not identical due to rotational torque and other variables. The load from driven side to coast side is not. One is pushing a truck & the other is pulling a tire or two.

    M35 axel heat?

    I am well aware of my mechanical & engineering background/experience. Maybe you could explain to me why every time I check the hub temps on deuces it typically shows a temp of at least 10° higher reading on the right rears. Not just one truck, not just my trucks. Then explain why an open...

    M35 axel heat?

    I'll stand by assessment of why the right side hubs are warmer than the left side.

    M35 axel heat?

    open differential, rotational torque, means the right side drives most of the time.
