I ran mine at 60 with the 11.00's comfortably just below 2000 rpm's. Now with the 395's I have run it at a top speed of 68 just above 2000 rpm's and that was with a GPS not the speedometer. Grant it thought I don't run it at 68 mph since it usually is following my duece we normally run it...
The A1's and A2's came with 14.00's and the others came with the 11.00x20's. Mine came with 11.00's on it, and I went ahead and added 395x85 20's not long after purchase.
If it was up to me I would put the 395/85 20's on it. They are in abundance and handle really well on my M923a1. I run the goodyear MVT's on my five ton and the Michelin XML's on my M35A2. Just my thoughts.
That came out really nice. My truck was upgraded by the military, with the same electric wiper setup; but they ran it just up the center between the two windshields.
Ok, that is sort of what I was thinking was to go in from the top of the truck. If you can take a few pictures and post them on how you run the air lines, it would be greatly appreciated. I ordered the complete airline kit, so I am hoping it will be pretty self explanatory.
I am hopefully going to install mine in a week or so. Do you have any pictures of how you put it in. Did you lift it from the bottom or go from the top of the cab? Were the airlines pretty easy to figure out where they went?
Mine is a 1965 and was overhauled in 1989 and has a sprag, turbo, non springer seat, and old style brake handle. The sprag is coming out soon and I am putting in an airshift.
I wouldn't run 50 psi in your tires. Mine has 395's also, and I run 35 psi in the front and 30 psi in the back. The tire shop who put mine on, had them at 60 psi and it was so squirmish and would wander all over the road. Remeber the 9.00x20 tires are only 8 ply and the 395's are 14 ply. I...
Just ordered a government rebuilt air shift transfer case yesterday and was surprised how much cheaper it is than when i bought one for a friends gmc pickup. Now all I need to do is buy the switch and air lines and slide it in the truck.
