We have a new fully dressed NHC 250 in the crate for the M900 series. As far as I can remember the fan height is different, The exhaust header is different. It's been 6-7 months since I've had the lid off of this engine so I don't recall a whole lot. I think it might have had an electric oil...
looks like a good time
That look likes a good time. I look forward to the day when I purchase an old D8 with a winch blade and pony start.
We have the big iron classic coming up in Sept. http://www.bigironclassic.com/ if you enjoy big trucks on display with a great truck pull in the...
I'm looking at purchasing a Marine M813 with single Marine 1400x20 wheels. The tires are currently about 50% tread.
Can a 1600x20 fit on these wheels without any issues?
I've heard that the Detroit lockers in the rear axles can cause issues with the transfer case? Anyone have any...
nice pictures
Good Looking Pictures and nice trailer! DRIVING a stolen wheel loader for 20 miles..... Law enforcement is not looking for a Phi Beta Kappa for this botched mission. Could it be Cletus the slacked jaw local?

Up for sale is my 1973 AM General M35a2c. Should be in classified section soon. Truck is equipped with strong running turbo Multifuel diesel, drop side bed, air shift front axle, air ride/spring style drivers seat, solargizer for batteries. Tires are all in good condition including spare...
Nice!
Good Looking Truck!
When I was at John Winslow's place (another Dodge diesel guy!) he mentioned he has pulled a 5 ton on a trailer with his Dodge. He said the Dodge had enough power but he wouldn't do it again with the lack of brakes!

Nice!
I got to ride in one of the MTVR's on Oshkosh's test track approx 3 years ago. The Cat C13 doesn't even grunt as they put the truck through it's paces on the track. With Oshkosh's huge revenue generator on remanufacturing their trucks for the military I doubt we will see the MTVR come...
I get to the Cincy area from time to time on business as we have a service center in Fairfield, Ohio. I'll PM you next time through. My Aunt used to live in Cincy and oh how I miss the great Skyline chili!

I'm going to be picking up an M818 in Devils Lake, ND this Thursday. The site mgr. doesn't remember too much about these trucks for mechanical condition but did say they were driven in. I have a new master cylinder we are bringing along but I don't have a wheel cylinder.
In case one of the...
I'd have to agree with Bottleworks on the Transynd. It's expensive there is no question about that but Allison will only give you an extended warranty if your transmission has Transynd from the factory or has a documented change to the synthetic if it wasn't factory filled on new trucks. What...
NHC 250
About a year ago I hauled a new NHC 250 with all of the accesories from North Carolina to Minnesota in my Dodge diesel. I just took my time and everything was ok. Heaven forbid a panic stop, etc! Looking back I wouldn't do it again!
Was this the motor that went for auction a few...
I'm in the process of touching up two of my M818's. The areas I'm touching up are small so I would like to buy rattle cans. I've used Aervoe in the past with poor success. Who offers a good quality touch up paint that will match the below pictures?
Questions-
For the green truck- What colors...
good choice
I agree with Will the M11 would be a great choice for the M809.
A 237/300 Mack would be a good choice also with the max torque something around 900 rpms. I believe it would fit well with the current 5 spd setup for lugging capability between gears. Plus the Mack inky soot is an...
M818s
Kevin,
My drive home is right around 500 miles so not as far as you. I bid in the last hour also and was suprised how low they went for being winch trucks. Mine was OD in color with a hardtop with the heater core located inside the cab- I've never seen one like that before. I'll post...
