Looking for suggestions for a comms system for my Deuce and 5 ton for both vehicle intercom (between headsets) as well as communicating via GMRS/MURS, etc., between vehicles. I had looked at the VIC 3 and VIC 5 systems before but wanted to get input from those more versed than I. It had been...

Need to replace the J pipe on the exhaust and looking for a cheaper option than $220 or so. Never worked with flex exhaust pipe but wanted to know from those that have/do, will 3.5" flex pipe make the somewhat tight bends (doesn't have to be exact) enough to be held by a clamp or two at the...

Here's hoping! :)

Bloody brilliant! Work like a gosh darn charm, thanks so much! :-)

So, pulled a dumbass 939 series rookie move. The dipstick on the 931 a 2 I just picked up today was about halfway between full and add so I decided to top it off. Looked at the overall capacity but, like a dumbass, didn't read the freaking dipstick that said add 2 quarts at the low mark. I added...

So what is the updated and acceptable interval for an oil change?

Ok need clarification/updated info. 1980 M916 - Lube order says (best I can tell) straight 30 weight oil. Is that STILL good info or is there something better for the Cummins NTC 400?

Actually found a better option. Gonna pick up a 2" Holland 5th wheel on the way to pick up the trailer. I will keep that option in mind for the futrue though if I end up needing the adapter. Thanks so much to all who offered suggestions!

Crap, any other source that you know of? Know anything about this place in the UK? https://ucukltd.com/store/body-and-chassis-parts/king-pins-and-components/a0858-king-pin-adaptor-2-to-3-5

I have to order the adapter

Thanks for the reply and pic. So, if the trailer looked like that as far as tilt, would that be ok to do for a recovery just to get it home and then maybe look at using a lower profile 5th wheel or something (provided that there are no clearence issues during a turn)?

Hi, in the market for a truck to pull my m129a3 trailer and was looking at all the tms I could find to determine if an M916 is too tall (5th wheel height) to haul an M129a3. Haven't been able to find data on the 5th wheel height for that or an m818. For the trailer, it lists the "upper 5th...

Do you still have your truck for sale?

What are your thoughts about drilling into the frame to mount the hitch and approach ramps?

WIth respect to the clutch concern, with the deuce "officially" rated for 10k, reality being much more, everything I've ever seen on SS seems to support that it will do twice as much without a problem. If I use the "7 speed" shift pattern rather than 5, wouldn't that help the clutch?

Any thoughts on mounting position of the hitch and follow up reply I posted about the hitch/mounting height?

What is "ideal" clearence? It is a sliding hitch so any thoughts on mounting point/towing position with regards to the slider? Thanks for the input.

Forgot to mention that the upper 5th wheel plate height (on the trailer), LOADED is 3'10" and my truck, with 11.00s on it stands about 3'3.5" at the top of the frame rails. The height of the 5th wheel hitch and plate, flat and accounting for the brackets is 16-16.5". Does that make it too tall...

Thanks for your input. The trip is just over 500 miles. Forgot to mention that I could also pick up a civilian converter dolly, pobably have to do some rebuild/repair as they are listed as such or for parts. They are 10 bud wheels so can I put military 5 ton (10 bud 11.00) wheels on it? I...

Need y'alls advice/knowledge/expertise/opinions. Gotta pick up an M129 and get it from WI to MI. Have two different scenarios, being that the 5 ton tractor I was planning to borrow/use is suddenly out of commission. Neither of which are ideal, to be sure but here they are: 1 - Take the bed...
