I got my 5 ton filters from Deuceman Surplus. Perfect filters and a good price. Beat the local napa on cost by a LARGE margin!

I don't think it is the right plug compared to our military plug, but that would be a VERY easy adapter to make. But otherwise, YES, jujst costs a small fortune. There are a number of these things made in Australia though, Redarc is one company. But there are a few other ones that make a 24v to...

Not good news with the stock cable not working. But if you figure it out, PLEASE post up! Right now my tach AND speedo don't work on my 818.

I think it is a universal speedometer cable. One of these days I will buy a REAL tach cable.

Wow, 100 pounds less then a normal HEMTT rim, that would be nice on the back!

Don't forget to get some extra front budd caps. You will have enough for the rears already, but you need another set for each front tire. They have been selling, NEW, with the O ring and nuts, for that price, then just get the stems. Shipping was the only downside for me. I could have had twice...

Yeah, I know, I did the same thing myself. Btw, Saturn Surplus shows the correct 5 ton tach cable. I need to order one from them still.

Yeah, same thing with mine, worked for a while, then stopped working. Looks like it is the universal speedo. The deuce tach cable is almost the same length as the 5 ton cummins one, but the end that goes into the IP is not correct. The drive/pin is too small in diameter, and the flat side is...

It doesn't work, I tried it already.

True, but how many LDT motors have you seen with that big turbo on it? Gimp is right, but those are definitely things to look for.

Need a new fuel pump for one of my trucks. Member here has one, but it is lacking the detachable pump wire. Where can I get one of these? Any vendors?

IF it has the bigger turbo, the LDS is visibly different. If it has the C or D, then you need to do like Gimp mentioned.

I crank the nut down while turning the hub. I keep cranking until it REALLY slows it down. I then back the nut off until it's not making contact (being careful not to let the bearings move, this cannot be done well with the tire still on). I then take the nut, by HAND, and tighten it until I...

Actually, I AM a AAA tow truck driver... I only have one tow truck that could lift the front of a deuce and tow it. Most companies don't have that though. I was just happy that Aaron had the parts, and I had the tools to get it done, fast and safely. 818s are fun! Now get some BIG tires on it...

MAYBE if you get the RV plus. Will depend on the local driver/company though.

Plasma torch works great. It puts barely any real heat into the metal surrounding the cut. Besides, this will be the END of the frame, not something in the middle. Changing the temper on that metal really isn't going to be that big of a deal. Plenty of people have used torches for this, and I...

I agree with Jwaller. I put a 4" on with straight through muffler. No increase in power, EGTs were close to the same. But it DID sound a lot different. A lot more throaty compared to the stock exhaust.

Yeah, Warthog had valve stems for me as well. Spare tires, or maybe rims/tires for a trailer!

I towed around 6k worth of weight. 6% grades. DEFINITELY slows it down. And the 3 - 4 split is a real bugger! If you have a long hill that you will be stuck in 3rd, I would put it in 5th gear low to gain a few more mph.
