There are different aspects of brake performance. If small and large tire systems both obtain the same rate of deceleration braking 'performance' will be the same. Stopping is a function of momentum (Mass x velocity) being converted to heat (friction at the brake shoe). If the big tire vehicle...

The M35A2 wheels are too narrow and the rear tires will rub because the rear ends are too close together. The M35A3 wheels are wide enough but they won't solve the rubbing problem. Options are - relocate the rear end or get smaller tires. If you got the 1400 cheap you can sell them, make some $...

A Moroso oil accumulator. It adds ~4qts to filters/galleries before cold starts. Top cylinder is for the air. It increase the accumulator's volume 25%.

extinguisher is using the decon bracket

Took Jason9(a)snakeriver's suggestion from his thread..... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/26398-source-door-latch-springs.html ...looks like this before welding. A hair spring for a car starter brush might have worked instead. I had an old Ford Ranger spring, seen next to the broken...

Right, GVCW around 72,000lbs (22,000 vehicle+10ton cargo+30k trailer w/load). You could also think of it as 25tons of cargo and trailer. Probably a conservative rating too, and with a low max speed, like 45mph for the 813. Not very hard on brakes. I think the steepest downgrades are the only...

Isn't that 15k off road and 30k highway?

My neighbor, Glen, was a WWII Seebee. He told me 2 war stories before he passed away. He said when he was in Italy they were building up the waterfront so the ships could unload. He had a large dozer and was pushing stuff in the water, including railroad box cars. At one point the ground started...

The V-100 wheels are 10"w x 20" as are the 5t super single combat rims , or HEMTT rims. They might would work if you re-centered them. Someone else here was doing this for a deuce and half application. I have a set of V-150 wheels (not shown/not for sale) that had their 10 holes(and center)...

If you find a spun bearing this won't matter as you'll be getting a re-grind w/ new bearings or new engine - Anyways, the bearing needs to be a bit bigger than big end/main hole for crush fit. A coarse finish and assy w/o oil on back side(s) bearing shells is also a good idea

A big factor in manifold air temp is how efficient the compressor is. Anyone have a 'C" or "D" or LDS compressor map? Coolant temp is also a factor. Here is a temperature/press chart. The press ratio is compressor-outlet absolute pressure divided by comp inlet absolute pressure. Absolute...

That is a good point. You could even go farther and say you lose power because a cooler intake charge will lower both boost and the combustion temp. Lower combustion temp will reduce the force pushing on the piston... The lower the EGT may in turn reduce turbine speed lowering boost even...

71'M813A1. Cummings NHC250. I have a digital thermometer in a case. I think when I get to driving I'll put it on in a temp set up and see where I'm at.

Teflon hose is the highest temp but the teflon is inside braded stainless steel and it does not clamp on. It's very expensive(my Cummings turbo donor had this). Silicon hose is probably the best choice. It is expensive. Napa sells it by the foot. Prob 25$/ft. You might find a synthetic rubber...

I'd be interested in any additional info you care to offer. Like the intake manifold pressure? Is the engine a LDS465? Does it have to original turbo w/waste gate? The TM spec is 18-20 in HG, or about 9-10psi (figure 41, page #34 LDS Troubleshooting Manual). Intercooling just starts...

I have a bunch of those flame heater spark plugs in classified section- $10 donation to SS. Champion ED89-D Flame heater SPARK PLUG- $10 Donation - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

Stalwart is 5 tonne (metric)

Don't loosen set screw. It is just stuck on the gasket. Try loosing screws a few turns and light rap downward w/wood mallet.

I went thru the Preble, NY truck inspection this AM. I asked 2 questions about private use trucks and this inspection station. From the CVEU officer (Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit) 1.) Trucks not used for commerce do not need to stop. 2.) Log books do not need to be used if driver is...

I don't have much exp in 6.5 so I have to speak in general terms. A higher volume pump (than stock) on a healthy engine is not only a waste of $ but puts extra loads on the oil (creates higher oil temps) and the pump drive parts( usually the cam gear(s) and cam drive). There is also a HP loss...
