Rubbing the wheel wells has not been a problem on my M105 equipped deuce,(tires do run in the wheel well when loaded/offroad). Never had a tire rub anything on the front of my trucks.
I run 255/85-16's on my M1008,(33.3" tall). Some run 285/75-16's which are wider and a bit shorter. You can get 35's on the truck if you trim the front fenders, front and rear opening near bottom for more clearance. Larger tires will need some lift on the truck.
The MK17 units are heavy in the rear and do not behave well behind regular tractors. There is no tongue weight. Moving one around a base with a pintle hitch is one thing and running down the highway at road speed quite another. Bumps in the road will find the MK17 lifting the rear of the tow...
Carry spares in the back.
The tires on the tipper front are 14.5 and match up with the 11R20 rears.
They work on this trailer also.
PS, Bruno hasn't worked at our source for a long time.

Well, lets use this thread to talk about our trucks and try not to get the thread closed doing it!
This one closed. :deadhorse:

Rather than have the site administrator/moderators locate the affected threads for the new forum, let the interested SS members that find/locate these threads/posts report them to the site to be moved. Would that help?
Been a while since I filled one.
In my GM vehicles with a NP203 transfer case you would fill them up to within 1/2" of the fill plug hole. Seems like like that was around 7 pints. Also, in areas of colder climate it was ok to run 10/30 instead of the straight 30wt.
In my "part timed" 203 cases...
I've seen a few LDT engines with a listed 140HP listed on the engine tag. In fact I own one.
A couple different examples. Both of these engines were in deuce dumps.
