The only hard part is getting the plug thru the dash.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Have access to NOS units if needed.I paid a fair price from lmtv722. It should arrive this week. Install looks like a bitch.
Heater motor is 24v. 12v to heater is only for the lights. 4 wire plug from the truck to heater supplies 12 & 24v.Can anyone tell me off the top of their head if the heater motor is 12 V or 24 V?
Bryce Waseilak on the face book. Florida based. Mostly m35 parts. He got me and a few other guys unused or hardly used center sections. Pm if you can't find his contact info. TimWhere did you end up finding center sections/gears?
Well that doesn't sound like any fun at all. What does that whole assembly weigh? I don't really want to get into the reduction unit either and will probably just do the same...Front is a pain in the ass. I removed the entire wheel hub/knuckle at the kingpin as to avoid having to take apart each wheel assembly. The manual recommends taking the wheel end assembly apart.
You can't find one for sale or you can't physically find the ECU? If you can't physically find it, it's behind the keypad in an aluminum box.I also can't find the WTEC II ECU.
Has anybody looked into running a 22.5" rim with over the road semi truck tires?Road use is hard on the tires. I think the goodyears are a little better than michelins on road. If you are out of alignment even slightly you will eat thru tires faster though.
Cost would still be cheaper to run military tires. By the time you add in tires wheels and reporting gearing you would have to put on a lot of miles. And if your putting on that many miles you may as well buy a semi truck. In the PNW we can get rubber for less than $250 a 395 Tire. A used wheel will run you $250 plus and used rubber will run about the same as a 395 but with a lot less tread... your still going to need a spare tie and perhaps a wheel so I don't that is saves you any... AND you have to remember gear. 385/65r22.5 are about the same width so you would still have a similar rolling resistance.Has anybody looked into running a 22.5" rim with over the road semi truck tires?
They would be a bit smaller diameter, but with taller gearing, would they potentially better (MPG, Noise, Tire Life, Tire cost...) if you were going to be pounding out some highway miles?

That would depend on what your crashing into. An LMTV will roll right over most vehicles.The trucks were not intended to be operated at high speed. You dont want to crash at 70mph in one of these trucks. It wouldnt be pretty. There are plenty of good civilian uses for the truck. Highway hauling is not one of them.
