There are some ego's out there but even when it comes to personal insults, you just have to let that roll off your back and not respond to it. This is the internet and you never know who you're talking too. There's a saying I remember, "it's best not to argue with an idiot as bystanders may...

Actually sounds about right for private party trucks, the winch is coveted and adds anywhere from $1500 to $2000 on a good truck. At auction, good luck, they go for lower but the GL cameramen know how to photograph around the bad stuff like a rod through the side of the block. Preview in...

MWMULES, that's the best sounding response so far. The open and boxed end are of the same size. Do you need one? If so, PM me and it's yours for the cost of shipping. I just felt like it was obviously a issued piece of gear that needed a good home. I don't have a use for it but didn't want...

I didn't think it would be locked based on my experience this last week. They may turn by hand on the fan after being run but they take a lot to break free after they've sat up for a few years. Just from what I've seen and by no means am I an authority on these motors.

Found this behind the driver's seat in my truck while cleaning out the cab. What is it? Does anyone need one?

I've got trucklite 7" LED's in mine and couldn't be happier. Oncoming traffic hates me though, they flash their brights and I flash mine and they quickly go back to dims.

I agree, that was the hardest part the first time. After rounding up all the tools I'd need to do the job, I kept putting it off. Once I finally jumped into the axle, it was only about a 2 hour process from start to finish and much easier than I imagined. Everything is pretty heavy though...

I doubt the engine is locked, he just doesn't have enough battery to crank it. I'll bet 1 dollar on it!!!!!!!

And all the ones that gave the loud thud cranked up and drove out once properly motivated with battery power and slave vehicle power.

Just helped on a recovery this week. That Cummins is hard to spin if it's sat for a while. It finally took 4 used batteries and about a 5 minute charge from a HMMWV to get that 817 to crank over. Previously, it just gave the loud thud that you're referring to. I've ran into this about 5...

Made a little progress on the dump today. After a little PMCS, a lot of grease and some hydraulic oil, we have a functioning dump bed!!!!!!!!! Next will be the leaking wheel cylinder when it comes in!!!!!!!!

hmmm..... Put some Lucas in it!!!!!!!!! We all just had a great pissing contest over that one. Search around, the TM's are downloadable from ARMY6X6, LLC as well as on this site and just make sure that you pay attention on the transmission oil as the synchros are picky and will not last in the...

You don't have to pull the rear tires. I lift the axle housing, remove the axle shaft, loosen the spindle nuts, place a furniture dolly underneath the tire / brake drum, lower tires onto it slightly, remove spindle nuts / seal / outer bearing and roll the assembly out from under the truck...

Well, I got a set from the last auction. I'm glad I read his ad this time around as I'm new to this. I traded filters (1060's, they were still wrapped in plastic) and paid the difference for 1794's which apparently are not anti-drainback as spelled out in his current ad (Perhaps I didn't read...

I'm still working on this M817 and now that it's running good, I need to find a wheel cylinder for the right front brakes. It's leaking and it' not a great idea to let this truck out of my yard in this condition. I tried searching this forum "wheel cylinder" and didn't come up with much. Are...

Offending wheel cylinder looks to be the passenger front. I'd like to give this truck back in road running condition so the new owner can make his recovery. How much work, what part number's, etc are needed. Do any parts stores have the wheel cylinder's for the front axle of the 5 tons? I...

They're a little on the high side right now. Uncle Sam just sent out income tax returns and some people are running the bids up. I got mine in October of 09 for just over 1,000 dollars after buyer's premium and tax. It's a good running without winch truck but I've spent at least another 1,000...

Mine's missing it too!!! No worries, I don't plan on crossing a river anytime soon. You plug that hole to keep water / mud out of the clutch when deep fording.

M35's do not have air chamber's on the brakes that would need "caging". They are hydraulic wheel cylinder's and drum brakes so it will roll without any air pressure. Also, if it does run, check the brake pedal travel. These trucks have a single circuit brake system, ie, all wheel cylinders...

I would not tow one with a chain down the road for 45 miles, maybe 1 or 2 at most. These trucks take a little longer to slow down than normal vehicles with air pressure built up and would probably take a very large guy to stop without air. The emergency brake doesn't work well either. GL will...
