It is 3/4 stud for sure. Just not sure on the pitch to order a thread chaser. Is it 16? I didn't check but are the wheel studs the same as the lock studs or is another chaser needed?

Just go to harbor Freight and get [FONT=HarborFreightFont_regular]Central Pneumatic®[/FONT][FONT=HarborFreightFont_regular]-[/FONT][FONT=HarborFreightFont_regular] Item#95793Fixed a tire that leaked badly. Rust all over around the oring. Guess I should do the other 5 soon too. Anyone know for sure that the thread size on combat wheels is 3/4-16? I want to buy a thread chaser to cut the rust off the threads
I run 2 group 31 batteries. Quite a bit of room with that set up left over. If it was super cold here all the time I'd never get away with itSeemed like every truck I had, I had to replace batteries. I used the big 1400 8D and there was no room for the part to stick inside the box. Your's probably has more room.
Works fine in my a1 since 2016. You should be fineBen Roberts
a sidebar if I may.
Going to get batteries tomorrow.
Group 31, 950 CCA.
Is it enough for my m923a1?

Thanks
Replace the air hoses for the transfer case from the transmission. chances are they arent in good shape. And to replace everything while its apart is much easier. You can simply get a few parker pushlok fittings and a few feet of hose. No hose clamps needed. Hose is rated to 320psi so it will last for years plus its alot more flexible than some old hose that may crack when you bend it and be an unseen leak except for thousands of little bubbles coming thru the cotton jacketI replaced the transmission oil in my M813 today. A few interesting (concerning?) observations:
1st- There were super-fine metal shavings on the drain plug...sort of a silvery sludge. No chunks, the fluid was in better shape than I expected, still very viscous.
I started hyperventilating about the metal shavings, but I found this thread that seems to indicate that it's fairly normal:

2nd observation- I've read a lot of bad press about RRAD on the forums and the web in general. As I crawl around/in my truck, I've been hoping to avoid finding any RRAD tags on anything. Sure enough, after cleaning the tags on the transmission, I found a "refurbished" tag dated 3-72 (3 months before I was born!) from RRAD.
Now March 1972 is waaaaaay before the time of problems with 939's so maybe (hopefully) this is nothing to worry about. Run it 'til the gears fall out, I guess.
I've also been soaking the transfer case air hose connections with Kroil penetrant in preparation for the transfer case swap. I don't want to strip or mangle any air hose connections.
Once the new t-case is installed, I have enough new gear oil on hand to fill it up for a test drive.
Interesting I just checked mine the other day and they all passed the test, by flexing them and they returned.Found one of my torque rods had both bushings pulled halfway out so I put a few safety tab style ends back in View attachment 758948 View attachment 758949 also got the accessorie outlet installed View attachment 758950
