And this is just what I did with excellent results. The newer flasher units seem weaker than the older units, and I got tired of throwing money at a recurring problem. so I took one of my old non-op flasher units, used a milling bit in my cordless drill and removed the potting compound. Once...

I believe so, 98G was commenting on a couple of them.

That's a Deuce bed, cut down and modified to fit that truck. The tailgate is also a cut-down Deuce gate...notice the 5 hinges. It looks like it was done very well. The bed is now useful for working that truck, find toolboxes to fill the gaps between the bed & rear wheels/frame, and you've got...

I was there with 98G several months ago; Jack was out front working on his Dodge truck, we stopped to chat, and he invited us into his yard for a tour. Great guy, LOTS of stuff!! CUCVs galore and more....even have some newer M923s and other 939-series trucks in one of his yards. Great guy...

I'll bet I know who bought the other 3..... :mrgreen:

Most of the electrical gremlins I've encountered have to do with loose/painted/rusty ground connections....as Will pointed out, a digital voltmeter is your friend. The TM section has some really good troubleshooting instructions as well.

It's great fun, isn't it? I find that coming in via the rear crossmember hole with some long 3/8" extensions & a deep-well socket take care of the two upper bolts, while you can use an open-end wrench on the two lower bolts. Then maneuver the MC in through the crossmember hole and work it...

LOL, that is awesomely funny!!! Good one!! rofl

I have MaxxPro front bumpers available for sale...I think the classified ad expired though.

I hope this thread doesn't go away or get locked down...it's a good central location for info on these trucks (having purchased a M920 last year).

VERY GLAD to see you are still on here! I'd also like to see pics if you have them....

What needs to be inspected? A buddy of mine has in-laws there, might be able to help.

I've been wondering about that lately myself. Thanks Devil Dog!! [thumbzup]

Congrats!! That's a great looking rig!! :goodjob:

The older trucks in the 5500/C50 range used 6-lug Budd wheels. The 6500/C60 sometimes used 10-lug Budd wheels, whereas they were standard on 7500/C70-series trucks. ETA: Sometimes the 5500/C50 trucks could be had with 5-lug Budd wheels.

My apologies, I've been extremely busy lately...I apologize for the incorrect information, I bought some from Erik's in the past and they were 1/4", not 1/8" as you received.... Try a hydraulic hose repair shop, they usually stock the proper fittings. Sorry about the misinformation and the...

Good info on Cummins 8.3 6CTA engines in both the 5-ton thread and the 5-ton Hot-Rodding/Modifications thread. As for the Axletech axles, I've noticed tidbits in several different threads about them; Search will be your friend on those. Which axles are they? That company supplied drivelines...

More pics added above.

OK I'm an idiot, I was looking at my M920 hubs when typing this....totally forgot this is for M813. Sorry.

Will these work on the front studs, since they're a larger diameter than the rears?
