I've done it. Simp5782 is probably your best bet these days...

I strongly suspect they mean mudflaps. These should already be in the truck. If not, I have a set I took off my M925 to clear the 16's... Edit - come to think of it, I have a set of rear fenders off an M818, but I really doubt you need them.

Skid mounted? $2k-$2600. Add $1000-$1500 if on an 1101 chassis. Market varies by location and whether there's a storm in the Gulf.... Or search recent auction sales. Add 20% for fees and taxes and then add another 20% for it not being an unknown auction machine...

I'm not sure it's a matter of keeping a lower overall operating temp. I think it's more a matter of preventing localized hotspots. Keeping the whole thing cooler may keep the hotspots less hot, but I still think the primary concern are those small pockets near #8 that get hot. I speculate that...

Exactly this. I read and learn. My thought was to have the 12v side charge a completely separate 12v system to include a battery to run the 12v stuff when the truck isn't running. Obviously I haven't done it. My own approach has been that if it isn't 24v I can do without it, but I certainly...

my opinions , possibly worth what they cost you - 1) age is but one variable among many. 15 years in an OKC warehouse is preferable to 2 years stored outside at Davis Monthan getting sun blasted. 2) 16.00's are made for the hemtt, which is far more demanding than a 5ton. How far does an aged...

I've dealt with Gary multiple times and it has always gone well. We drove my M925 over Mt Lemmon in AZ once, and he's come to KS and driven my M818 as well.

Not that anyone asked me, but I'd wait until I could get the correct oil for break in. Viscosity differences, etc...

A 3rd battery, separate system, ran from the 12v side?

Use as much 24v as you can. For the stuff that has to be 12v, use a converter. Tapping just one battery works, but it kills batteries.

Why do we care if they follow in the same track? (Serious question, this comes up when discussing the use of hemtt wheels on 939s)

Yes but... Unloaded and empty, used as an oversized pickup truck/toy, I speculate that the bearings would be up to it for the amount of miles it would see in this usage.

Slave port impact wrench. 24v and plugs into the slave port. They aren't quite strong enough to be certain they'll break lug nuts loose on a 5ton, but they'll be overkill for a HMMWV. price should be somewhere around $125. I no longer have any. This isn't an ad.

Um.... Stuff To Do

I still have it. Seems like every time I'm near it its too windy to try to deal with the hood by myself. It's on the list of STDs. I probably won't be there again until late in the year...

Since scar59 is out of it, I'm trying also. I'm going to try to buy everything in bulk and put a fuel/oil/transmission filter kit together if I can hit a reasonable price point. Looks like a quantity of 250 is where the price drops. I'm thinking that I'd be sitting on them forever to move that...

One wonders if it has functional parts.... things that might make it fall afoul of the NFA...

Thank you. I'm always happy to talk trucks...

Buy one from scar59. That way you know you're getting the right one. Also, you won't find it retail at a better price. He isn't gouging the prices on them. At a selling price of $130 he *might* be making $15 per kit, presuming he buys them in bulk. (These numbers are my speculation based on...

You really don't want to use the thimbles in place of lugnuts. They aren't designed for it and can fail. Replace them with lugnuts like you have on the front of the truck. If you *must* use thimbles as an emergency temporary field expedient lugnut, the wheel goes on first, then the thimble...
