    Spicer 5 speed question

    Checking up on your install. Has it progressed? I am considering putting a T-1138 in my M818. I am mostly curious about modifications to the jackshaft and both propeller shafts lengths using the existing frame bolt up location.

    Transmission swap question

    Yes, the fuller bell housing (A-5025) is longer by about 1 1/4"... Somewhere on this site there is side elevation drawing of the 6453 with copious dimensions. However, I did not save it and now I can't find it. The overall length is a hair under 30" but the yoke in the graphic extends longer...

    Transmission swap question

    I have been really studying the prospect of swapping to a Fuller 6 speed. I have found a compatible clutch bell housing, output yoke and a viable way to shift the transfer case sprag. The Fuller and Spicer appear to be very close in length with negligible differences; i.e. shifter location...

    Transmission swap question

    Here's where I got that number from. It's in Newton meters so I converted it.

    The FSO-8406A specs out to handling an input of 827 ft. lbs. The NHC250 specs out at 685 on the output.

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    Pasadena, CA, Colorado Bl. (at Mar Vista Ave), Route of the Annual Tournament of Roses Parade, 01JAN17. That year New Years Day fell on a Sunday. So, per tradition, the parade would be held on Monday the 2nd. We roadmarched with small column of other MV's hosted by a local MV history museum...

    Transmission swap question

    All those issues I guess are doable. -The sprag can be shifted electro-mechanically through the reverse light switch with a 4-way valve. -PTO linkage and drive shaft could be "cut-and-pasted". Question though...would the OEM PTO be compatible with a Fuller Eaton transmission? -Some crafty...

    Transmission swap question

    This intrigues me as I really dislike that lag between 3 and 4, but it raises several questions... 1) What output companion flange do you use as the mainshaft splines are different? 2) Does the PTO and associated linkages bolt up to the right side without modification? 3) How would one modify...

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    These photos were taken back on 23OCT16 on the airfield of the Los Alamitos, CA Joint Forces Training Base. It was a yearly combined air show and car show called Wheels, Wings and Rotors. It was at one time a really big and well attended event. However, it dwindled over time mostly due to...

    Thanks for the clarification, Simp! Looks like I am going to ditch my Pure Air.

    M939/LMTV/FMTV Air dryer replacements/upgrades

    Pardon the ignorance, the installation instructions for the Turbo 2000 says it requires a purge tank, but I read here it sounds like you do not need one. I have also read on the SKF website that this particular air dryer builds its own sufficient purge air without the aid of a tank. Can anyone...

    Air system question

    Ah, yes, the fording kit. I just looked at the TM page (-20 pp. 14-54 & 14-55) for the fording kit pressurization valve. The hose line is to pressurize the bell housing.

    Air system question

    My M818 is not plumbed like that. There is only a short length of rubber hose and clamps right off of the breather on the valve cover. The bottom of the hard tube is open to the air. Also, I am curious as the hose and fitting leading into the bell housing. My bell housing has a pipe plug...

    The part number is 10937932 and Stephen Wood Products should have them. Their 2012 price was $20.35. http://www.stephanwoodproducts.com/contact-us/

    M915 Battery Box to M809 Tool Box

    -10/-8AN Fuel Fittings & Braided Hose for M818

    I just finished up an install of -10AN supply and -8AN return fuel lines on my M818. It replaces push-lock hose and fittings I installed in 2010. There was nothing wrong with that system I just thought this looked cooler. The braided nylon/steel hose and all the black anodized fitting are Made...

    "Bikini" bed cover for shortened cargo beds

    I have never been one for a full cargo cover for a few reasons;1) not easily removable and installed, 2) having to modify one to fit my sectioned out 10' bed and 3) I really want just enough cover to provide shade with the sides fully open. I was using folded 10' X 20' camo netting to 10' X 10'...
