    Air ride rear suspension idea

    The spring packs act as panhard bars. You will have to add panhard bars or diagonal the upper link and add another to the other side to keep the axle centered in relation to the vehicle frame. Refer to GM car rear suspensions such as the chevelles, monte carlos cutlasses or some fords as well.

    Good Change Coming In Wisconsin

    Will a phone call to members of the Senate Transportation Committee to enunciate the need and my support for this legislation come to a positive end? Can anyone suggest a more appropriate synonym for enunciate to promote a happy, agreeable feeling that gets these public servants in the mood to...

    NHC-250 turbo installed on M923A1

    Nice fab work! Some place in PA about 10 years ago talked of how the modded 400 big cams to put out 800 hp for the over the road rigs. The truckers talked of not needing to down shift for most hills. Things like Moly coated pistons and cams and such. Maybe the 250 needs a little hot rodding?

    Picking Up My First MV From Sparta driving it 450 miles

    Jeff a stand up fellow. He has helped me recover 3 vehicles so far and the situation for him recovering and storing vehicles and previewing them is the just the bee's knees. I unquestioningly pay him his fee. He doesn't charge enough in comparison to the quality and piece of mind his service...

    923 A1....923 A2. Whats defferent?

    I don't know much about the A1 except that it has the 250 cummins naturally asperated versus the A2 and the 8.3 cummins with a turbo, Oh the paint is probably fresher on most of the A2's except the A1's that went through a recent rebuild, but not as recent as the mint rebuilds of some of the...

    Bad Military Surplus Generator Advice Online

    Very interesting, so: Does the peak amplitude of the modified sine wave inticate the actual voltage output? In a sine wave producing AC generator, the very peak of the sine wave is way way higher than the rated, stated output of the generator (peak or about 176 volts for a 110 volt output)...

    Can I buy NEW not 95% tires.

    M939 transfer case air lines installed wrong

    On farm, I like to use low range almost exclusively. I think the transmission is better served going through the ranges up to 5th gear often rather than relying on first and second gear for the speeds I use the truck at primarily.

    931A2 questions from new owner

    My M931A2 is topless, the man that previewed it and drove to my house said it is in very, very good condition. His qualifications are that he is in the reserve motor pool now and spent 13 years in the reg mil motorpool so I think he knows the game. He does Ft McCoy recoveries and I highly...

    Opti Lube XPD and Oil Fortifier. Are they a measurable difference? We will find out

    Prior to usisng the Opti-lube fuel treatment, I noticed the rain cap on the underside was wet from what appeared to be fuel condensate. The engine ran at lower power settings a majority of the time. Since running the Opti-lube treatment, I noticed the underside of the rain cap is dry. The engine...

    Opti Lube XPD and Oil Fortifier. Are they a measurable difference? We will find out

    I added the opti-lube fuel lubricant to a DT414, it's a smaller displacement version of the DT466 that had 1800 hours of it. I immediately noticed a lot less smoke just after start-up after the engine ran a half a gallon of treated fuel. I also ran a brand new 25 horse 3 cylinder Kubota engine...

    M35A3 Transmision question.

    The summer was ghastly hot for a couple of weeks but it is cooling off now. I am up to my elbows in receipts for expenses and setting up accounting. Excel is less of a mystery and it sure makes adding a snap. I called and left a message for Tom he may still have a new in the box transmission. He...

    M35A3 Transmision question.

    Hi Joe Hmmm, Oh boy, I guess it's time to fix the tranny.:doh: tomcata3 told me had a spare and an extra spare tranny for the M35A3 for sale that he picked up recently. If your mechanically inclined, drop that tranny yourself. It sounds to me like a clutch pack or band has slipped and burned...
