I have a similar experience with my M925. Changing the tire size changed the effective final drive ratio to the point that I need to control upshifts and downshifts manually. I only see 5th gear on the interstate.

I admit I missed that you specified you were filtering down to 0.5 microns. Many filtration setups only go down to 10 or 5 microns.
Here's what I could find regarding abrasive particle size distribution in used diesel motor oil. Used gas oil will be different.
I said no such thing.
I said some of the abrasive particles are less than 2 micron and that this should be considered when choosing fuel preparation methods.
I don't know how much of it, if any, is less than 0.5 microns. But as a result of your comment I'll be finding out.
Something to think about is that some of the abrasive waste products of combustion that are found in used motor oil are smaller than 2micron. These particles will cause accelerated wear on fuel system components, and filtration won't remove them.
M925 on 16.00's with a stock M105A2 on 9.00's behind it, full of sand.
Since your 5ton is an A2, the hitch is positioned a little better and it'll be more level than this pic.
Yeah, they have a cult following these days.
But when they were new they deteriorated rapidly. You could watch them rust through in real time, like kudzu growing.
I didn't think much of the HMMWVs when I was in (the same time frame as msgjd), but I really enjoy the one I have now. It and my...
If you cut it off, cut it with a foot and a half or so of cable on it. This will leave plenty of room for someone to splice to it. There's someone somewhere in desperate need of it...
I'll be about an hour north of Ft Riley starting in about 2 weeks. I've got an MEP802 sitting in the barn that I haven't even begun the process of going through. I picked it up last-minute before leaving and stored it.
I like the M1101/M1102, originally intended for the HMMWV.
Be advised they're a little wider than the jeep. This can be an issue on narrow trails.
Pictured is the generator carrier version of the M1102. Cargo variants with a box are more common.
