    M818 brakes mystery

    So the ranch has a M818 that we use to haul cattle, dozer, backhoe and anything else that needs a good hauling around. I live in rough country where everything is up and down, so that being said we use the brakes. Sometimes and only sometimes the truck will have full peddle and zero brakes...

    Tire tube change questions

    Sounds like the tire bead is not far enough down, if you can get the tire bead down where the ring comes together it will help to pry it out, once it starts then you can work around the tire.. Lots of sweat and cussing and next thing you know it’s off ! You have to push the tube valve into the...

    Fuel return line

    So I use MEP’s to pump water for cattle in very remote places around the ranch, yesterday my guys went to check on the generator and the return line had broken or slipped off, I haven’t been there yet to see. Anyway my question is has anyone figured out how to bomb proof the return line so this...

    Trailer options? Will a M1008 on 37's tow a gooseneck.?

    We pull gooseneck trailers with horses/cattle but they are on 7.50-16 tires, you do not make good time but they get by.

    Looking at hmmwv for tow rig

    As we have 2 CUCV's that are used for Ranch trucks and there is a huge difference between haling and towing. You can put on a ton and a half of salt blocks and go anywhere and make good time, you hook it to a 16 foot goose neck trailer and you can walk ahead and get there sooner, then hook it to...

    I finally started working on my M934 interior..

    For what its worth, I took out all the ducking/wires out of the top and replaced with plywood, turned out nice I thought. If I was to do it again I would get better screws to go into the aluminum. I did the sides, like in your photos the same where needed. The reason I took all the wires out ...

    M936 S.O.S. load hanging

    I have to eat my words, "the oil pump is working good" sorry M35A2-AZ I thought it was. The T-Case ate the top bearing so now to rebuild it. YEA!!!

    M936 S.O.S. load hanging

    The pump is working good, it did get hot but not dangerous hot and the T-case was working good all 2 days until setting the final drive on the dozer. I mean it was so close it was like a wind chime so I had to boom down to take load off and it would not self destruct. So today we took both drive...

    M936 S.O.S. load hanging

    OK, so how hard it that (the shift fork) to get to on a wrecker? I did dump all air, and still hard to get to high, can not get to low at all.

    M936 S.O.S. load hanging

    So let me begin with we were using the M936 today putting together the final drive on a Dresser DT15 and all of the sudden the truck tries to take off. The T-case will not go in neutral, even when it is in neutral. I got under it and checked oil, all is good. It is hot where you can't hold your...

    Where to get a new starter?

    That must be what I am doing wrong, I did not know that there was 2 different ones made, so where does one find a support bracket for the newer style starters?

    Where to get a new starter?

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I have really bad luck putting on the new aftermarket starters because of the support bracket. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but when the bracket is on the 2 starter bolts will not want to start right. I have had them break the housing where the stud bolt...

    7.50x16 tires

    We use Hercules and Power King 10 ply mud and snow, we get them in Bias ply, our pickups never see highway use so I am not sure that will help you. They last about a year or better, lots of rocks here and rough roads and not many flats, knock on wood!!!

    Towing a m818

    I hauled them home using a Chevy Kodiak cab and chassis and trailer, took everything including the kitchen sink for the "just in case". Way cheaper than hire it out.
