    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    The nice thing about the 819 is that it gets the SAME mileage, towing something or not. The ONLY time it gets GOOD mileage is if it is being towed and/or shut off.

    MK48 wheels

    These WILL make finding tires HARDER because they are 1600x21 NOT 1600x20

    Cooland Tank Replacement

    Do not use a inpact, you WILL break the bolts Spray PB blaster, let it soak in, spray again, let it soak in, do this 3 or 4 times. Hit the head of the bolt with about a 3 lb hammer, do this 3 or 4 times, spray again between hits (hard hits). Try to move the bolt with a wrench, NOT a breaker bar...

    Gainesville, Ga. Touch-a-Truck August 6

    Well, I am pulling the plug on doing this event,I will let the event planers know Monday, the reasons for this decision is that my partner Swiss has to be in Chicago most of the week before the event, getting back in town about 2am Saturday morning (8/6), so he is in no position to prep his...

    M977 Radiator- Please

    From looking at to picture, it is a mulit piece radiator, the tanks/sides are hemmt specific, the core is most likely not, I have replaced quite a few BIG tractor radiators, I would order the CORE size along with the top/bottom plate size, would arrive with the plates UNDRILLED then drill for my...

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally volunteers needed.

    Very true, my 819 feels the same way, in fact I talked to BART the other day about this issue, he feels the same, mentioned something about a d8 cat being on stand by if I want him going mudding. These BIG BOY trucks WILL find the BOTTOM of any wet area.

    M977 Radiator- Please

    I would think a older cab over White would have a radiator that would be a close fit, a lot of those trucks ran 8v71s and 8v92s, these motors were a lot of times tricked up, pulling 700+ hp so the cooling system had to match.

    Differences M809 A0 A1 A2 A3 XX

    "one glitch in the actuator and its toast" NOT TRUE, the sprag and the case is nearly indestructible, NOT like the 939 case, the sprag is either ENGAGED or NOT engaged. The sprag (overrunning clutch) design is a PROVEN design that has been around long before the building of the pyramids. The...

    Differences M809 A0 A1 A2 A3 XX

    If you want a BRUTE of a engine, the 6602, 602 cu in GASSER, tuned right, it WILL out torque both the Mack or the multifuel, these were a over the road engine when the 39 series were introduced, had as much as 1/3 more hp then the military engine and could be tweaked for more. This was one of...

    Problems with rear axle alignment

    Just find a take off from a bobber project, when you find the afending torque rod end, just replace the whole rod, then rebuild the bad one, this will allow you to the get the truck back up faster and give you a good spare for the next torque rod that goes bad.

    Fuel Bleeding a HEMTT

    I have used a cheap air pressure regulator and gauge with quick disconnect on the in/out, hook up my air sources, set to 3 to 5 lb then to the fuel tank, very cheap, very safe, very easy. When adding air to a tank or fuel system, or in fact any closed system, add it SLOW to ALLOW things to...

    Problems with rear axle alignment

    Both the upper/lower torque rods control the axle front/back movement. this is a left side issue, the SCRUBBING axle is the place to look.. 1 -- You have a broken torque rod. or 2 -- You have a trashed torque rod insert, (my guess). or 3 -- The torque rod insert retaining nut has some how backed...

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    "We need a new icon with a crying towel here folks." Aint this the truth.

    Problems with rear axle alignment

    There is really only two things that will cause the issue, a bent axle or a bad torque rod., side to side is no big deal, front to back is a big deal. a torque rod insert may be trashed but still not allow it to be popped off the post.

    Gainesville, Ga. Touch-a-Truck August 6

    Yes, in the cab and the bed. You can keep the kids out of the bed by keeping the tail gate up along with no ladder. All the kids love touch a truck because they can get close and personal.
