    M998 6.2L 3speed Important Spare Parts for Road Trip

    Most of what you might need can be found at O'Reilly and similar places. It's more likely that you'll need something you don't have with you, no matter how well prepared you are. My 1986 M998 has been driven thousands of miles all over the country and never needed anything. A spare, a jack...

    M9 motor options?

    8.3cummins, big cam cummins, a bunch of others can all be used depending on how much trouble you want to go to. The transmission has torque limit of 800 if I remember correctly. @simp5782 will be along shortly to tell you about his big cam swaps. Are you Clint?

    Deuce Bed Questions

    It's lighter than that. 5ton beds are about 2000lbs. Sorry I don't have a closer number for a deuce bed.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    I don't have an M920, but i dont think so. I suspect that @silverstate55 can give us a definitive answer.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    I'm thinking that's the same bolt pattern that the M939 series uses and MRAP rims would be a no go.

    Anyone know what the MRAP wheel part number is for aluminums for gov planet?

    Steel LMTV rim. It's similar to but not identical to the 5ton 939series combat rim. It will fit M809series and M939series trucks.

    New to me m923a2 jack & jack stand recommendations?

    I had HF jackstands, and swapped all 6 wheels/tires with the truck on their jackstands. Then they recalled them. Never again. I'll never use HF for a critical safety device. I've got 6ton jackstands from Tractor Supply currently. They have an additional safety pin. I use a 20ton bottle...

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    It is, and double clutching shouldn't be absolutely necessary. As others have said, you can do it with no clutch at all.

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    Double clutch and increase rpm for the downshift.

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    What you're doing is ok except for going to neutral and brakes to stop. You want controlled downshifts all the way to 2nd (at least). There's two reasons for this. The first reason is that in case of a brake failure (far from impossible) you'll have much better control of the vehicle if you're...

    You can see that the PTO is turning? You tried the crane as well as the rear winch?

    i know not another tire question

    My hubs weren't flipped. They were dish out. I never noticed the lack of valve stem access because I never had a low tire and never had to add air. I speculate that a 90* valve stem extension would resolve it. Flipping the hubs (a non-trivial amount of work) should allow for running them...

    M939A2 Truck bed

    About 2k if I remember correctly. The thing about the interstate is you always have a right lane to drive in to allow traffic to go around you. Back roads encourage unsafe passing.

    The wheels/tires from my deuce are now at his place, and my poor deuce is on jack stands.

    Unloading an M1082 - Caging Bolts and other unloading strategies
