    Military Vehicle Magazine

    With all those, you should be part owner or at least get the mag for free ! I will have to go back and look some of those up. Can they be republished on this forum ?

    Just bought my M342A2

    The info I have on it is that it was kept by Sarfan until they moved to FL, then TNJ Murray bought it to keep and I had to manage a complicated deal to entice him to get rid of it. I ended up procuring a military weasel to trade, along with $$$ for it. To get the weasel, I had to trade my M38...

    Air cleaner housing mods

    FYI if you run with a complete fording kit on, and the air ducting causes a partial vacuum due to the engine/turbo drawing large volumns of air which is trying to make its way from the top of a stack, when the air compress is in the unloaded mode (not making air psi) the vacuum will tend to draw...

    New source for Locking hubs!

    What are the differences between the two products? Selectro has been around for a long time and seems to have a premium product. I can buy off brand hubs for my M37 for $90 a set, but I was told Selectros are about $250. Why is this new brand worth the extra money? Then it looks kinda like a...

    deuce s-cam brakes

    A small problem comes to mind with your dual circuit feature. The air is only "triggered" from the air pac by a hydraulic signal from the master cylinder, so if you loose a hyd brake line, you won't be able to hyd signal the air pac to send air to the second air pac or even a trailer if you...

    New source for Locking hubs!

    When you figured the cost of fuel savings, how much was fuel per gallon? After (if ever) you reach the point where they are paid off, how much are the hubs worth then? (pretty close to the same price? By then they will cost more). Minute reduction in vibration and noise is worth something...

    front axle help

    Before you change the bushings, have you checked them for play? Jack up the axle and pry up on the tire (or use a tire iron into the rim and pick up and down) you want to rock the top of tire in and out. If it is tight, the bushing shouldn't be needed. If the tire rocks slightly, it might be...

    deuce s-cam brakes

    Does anyone know how the Milennium Reo's air pac was modified to actuate by only air pressure and not a hydraulic signal from a master cylinder?

    Is the hole in the pan punctured from the outside in or the inside out ?

    Turning radius in town

    Something cheap and easy ( you get what you pay for) : Try to fill the rear most axle's tires to the max pressure (or more), and run all the rest a litte on the lower side, this will let the rear axle slide easier due to the tires runing up on the their centers.

    M37 power train options?

    I am 1/2 done installing a 6.2 in an M37, I wanted comfort so I went with the 700R4 GM overdrive automatic. It is not heavy duty, but who works these trucks? The engine was installed using the chevy X member with motor mounts and bolted right into the dodge frame, the frame width is ground...

    LDT465 C OR D ENGINE, WERE THE C MODELS UNDATED TO Ds?

    that would explain someone elses theory that lugging the engine causes head gasket failure, the high low end boost would favor lugging to utilize that torque and cause more gasket failures then the D eng.

    Upgrade an LDT?

    I was told the radiator in the 2 1/2 ton is not large enough to get rid of the extra heat generated by all that HP. You could look to see if the LDS had piston coolers, there would be 6 and centered with each cylinder around at the crankshaft height. They spray up on the bottom of the piston...
