It seems to me that the original poster stated that he served on the board a long time ago and at that time the very vague rule was only applied to 18 wheelers. Everyone telling him to honor his word are a bit off track in that he followed the rules as they had been established, however the...

honestly i've never seen a set of spyder gears wear out, only fail from overloading. shock loading from spinning one tire on slick surfaces then having it grab, etc. with zero load on the gears i would expect the only type of failure possible to be from overspeed on the bearing surfaces, that...

no m35 drop side beds near you?

so now you are talking about feedback from sharp turns. nothing to do with longevity or fuel economy. I can see how lockouts could be beneficial for UJ axles in that condition, but most driving is not at full lock and when it is you will be going slow. seems like a non-issue to me.

looks pretty clean - wondering if the RV steps are motorized.

you can get a roll of o-ring stock from mcmaster and cut to length then seal the ends with vulcanizing rubber.

spinning the spider gears under no load has much less friction than the ring gear spinning the pinion and the drive shaft up to the transfer case. the scenario portrayed was the latter and will have noticable drag spinning the spider gears which leaves the ring gear, pinion, drive shaft all...

probably school bus wheel

interesting fun fact there Bob

a properly fitted snorkel following the a pillar and the a2 headlight location would make it look pretty good.

I'm glad you already covered that in the last 13 pages of information. Doesn't change my statement to always be away of material compatability.

if you plan to run alchohal you also have to consider material compatabilty like an e85 compatible high pressure fuel pump a walbro high pressure pump could possibly handle it http://treperformance.com/files/TRE345Flow.jpg...

easy, $$$ :)

one picture showing why how the center hole in the 10 lug wheels overlaps the studs of the 6 lug wheels. also one picture showing a surprise... 32 count of 1/2 oz lead wheel weights. it was only on one of the fmtv wheels. I've never seen a strip of weights on a military wheel this size...

I did forget to factor in the case hardening but without testing it is an unknown quantity. If anyone has a bolt handy the head markings should indicate its grade. testing a stock bolt is really the only way to solve this.

how did i miss this build - i was thinking about suicide rear doors also -

10 hour drive and i have the new wheels and tires finishing pressing in all the new studs. pics

why do engineers ever spec out less than the best possible. cost. what is in there has lasted quite well for the most part. so cost vs life cycle their choice was a success. getting the right clamping force definately is not an issue with higher grade bolts or ARP bolts grade 9 and up would...

this bolt: 9/16"-18 x 3" Yellow Zinc Finish Grade 9 Hex Cap Screw | Fastenal in a flange head with a length of 2-3/4 instead of 3 inches would be ideal
