    Finding a Vendor

    It might be helpful to have a section where board members could go and see all the vendors, preferably with hyperlinks to click and connect.

    MRAP Brakes

    Our local Sheriff's Department has an MRAP, and the brakes will not release. They've contacted me because they know I have military stuff, and because we work with them on training missions from time to time. They are telling me the air pressure will only build to 118 psi. Where is the...

    How well does AC in the MTVR work?

    Thinking of installing AC in my MTVR at some point after it's arrival. I have the Red Dot AC in my M925A2 and on those really hot summer days, it just doesn't do a lot to cool the cab down. It helps, but you'll never reach over to turn it down because it's getting too cool. So, question for...

    ECU Flash

    I've heard, don't know, maybe some of the more erudite scholars here will, that a MRAP will run about 80 mph. Can the MK23 be flashed to remove the speed limiter? Not that I want to go 80 mph, but for example having a little extra kick perhaps in a passing situation.

    Leaf Spring Modification

    Has anyone reduced the number of leaf springs on their 5 ton to help the ride? I don't use mine for hauling anything of significant weight.

    Globe GTTU202-30-20 T/A Equipment Trailer Wheel Swap

    I think I remember Wes telling me you can convert these trailers to dual wheels instead of the massive single wheel and tire setup. Is it possible, and if so does it work well? @simp5782

    Thanks Wes!

    Once again, Wes comes through for me. From delivering my 5 ton from St. Louis Missouri to Perry Florida, dropping in out of the blue one day and turning my fuel up, selling me some very nice 16:00/20 tires at a great price, to taking the time to help trouble shoot several issues. Thank you...

    Pinion Seal Replacement

    When changing the pinion seals on a 5 ton, is it as simple as removing the flange, nut, and old seal, then re-assembling? Thank you, Russ

    What is the difference, if any between the two? Did they ever make one with a knuckleboom crane on the rear?

    Turning Up the Pump

    Wes the Legend stopped by my place Wednesday. While he was here he was kind enough to turn up the fuel on my M925A2. Man, what a difference it made! When shifting from 1st into 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd, the rpm's only drop about 100. The truck is noticeably stronger now. Plus, I have the added...

    Major issue after installing 16:00's

    As usual nothing is ever easy with me. After installing 16:00's on my M925A2, the driver side has 1/2" - 3/4" clearance between the tires. The other side initially had about 1/2". On the way home from the tire shop I started smelling burning rubber and pulled off the road. The passenger side...

    Can anyone provide a link to a video on this? Can the seals be replaced without disturbing pinion shims? Can't find relevant TM.
