Some of the older 5 tons came with the 465 engine. I think Idaho Motor Pool just sold one witht hat engine.

If you add in the wear on a set of tires, fuel, motels, eating, the wear and tear on the truck and your body, tolls on some roads and bridges, plus possibly breaking down and those costs away from home...I would have it shipped. It took me about 9 hours to drive 350 miles and it was a long...

I drove my 813 from Salt Lake City up to Montana and got a little over 6.2 MPG. I have 14.00 20's and was able to do about 50 MPH. Climbing hills slowed me down into 3rd gear a few times. And there is a huge gap between 3rd and 4th gear, so it made some slow hill climbs since I couldn't go...

I left a few trucks parked up on my mountain and found that all of the heater hoses had been chewed thru so they could get to the antifreeze. I had chipmunks, squirels and mice getting in the engine compartment, interior and into my cabin. Since they wanted the sweet tasting antifreeze I began...

My 813 is a Marine one too. The Marine way; We are the Unwilling, Led by the Unqualified, to do the Unneccesary for the Ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for soo long we can now do anything with nothing. A lot of the Marine gear is totally worn out. My last duty station we...

Nope, I just have a great sense of humor and love a good joke. A female friend who is a competion shooter sent it to me.

Try looking on your state DMV website and see what info you can find there. I checked mine here and when I went to DMV to register my 813 and they gave me flak I was able to direct them to their website and why and how to register my vehicle. A lot of DMVs do not have experiance with these...

REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of Winter, usually late November to mid-December. To the contrary, female reindeer...

Where are your reindeer?

Did you get the new engine in yet? We have been pretty warm the last couple of weeks and it finally started snowing a little this afternoon. I haven't had a chance to snowmobile up the mountain and see if I can fix the other snowplow on the truck that is stuck up there. Hopefully this...

Did you try the Progressive website? I typed in AMGENERAL and 813 for the model and it allowed me to buy insurance on line without talking with an agent.

There are some very old trucks at one of the wrecking yards here in town that have boxes on the frames and they just filled them with rocks. Amazing how they resolved problems back then. One of the trucks is an old military model, not sure of what model and need to make a trip back out there...

Have you thought about welding up a framework in front of the gooseneck on top of the frame rails about 6 inches high with a bottom, place in some wire mesh and then fill it with wet concrete? It should get you plenty of weight and keep it low so you can tow. It would also keep the weight...

Did you test the lights off of the battery to see that they work? Are they grounded to the bumper when you mounted them? Possibe that the paint is not allowing the light to ground itself on the metal bumper?

I can't find his name, but he has the truck stop in Livingston, Montana and sells military trucks. You may check with the Montana Military vehicle Montana Military Vehicle Club and see if they can get you in touch with him. I talked with him several months ago and he had some 5 ton dump...

It was pretty easy. About $10 for the metal and about an hour to weld and paint it up. I had the steering wheel chained, but I wanted to keep someone from being able to either start the engine or turn on the master and drain the batteries. Plus I have the only key. I have Cat keys and I know...

I wanted to be able to lock my ignition and master switch. I took a 7" X 11" 1/8" plate and welded 3" sides to form a box. I backset the right side and bottom !/2" so there was a lip on the top and left side for the box to rest on the dash. I bent a piece of flat stock to form a hook that...

I thought about putting smaller tires back on for the winter and chaining it up good. How much for a new set of 11.00 NDCC on rims? I have no problem with weight in the bed. I've been snowmobiling up for the past 3 winters and logging my beetle killed trees, so I have thousands of logs...
