    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Just don't let it start hopping and you'll be fine. Wheel hop will kill your drivetrain quicker than anything. Other than that, you should be fine. I've put mine to some serious punishment. Airing down the tires will help you get traction and avoid wheel hop. Air them down to the point where...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Exhaust was likely moved to make the truck quieter. Air intake was moved because of the Tilt Hood. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    39/809 clutch suggestion

    Is there a more heavy duty clutch available? I work my 817 pretty hard so its only a matter of time. I'm considering swapping to the direct drive 5th gear trans to help out with the big 3-4 hole too. With 16.00' s I should still be in the 50+ mph range. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    Yes, I'm in Washington state. I've been slowly looking at different options. Just curious to see what others have done. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    39/809 clutch suggestion

    This is the way I shift in my M817 when loaded. You almost have to unless your headed down hill or on flat ground. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    Air gate for military dump trucks

    Has anyone converted the gate on there m817/m929 or any other variant of military dump from manual to air? While the manual gate works fine, an air is much more convenient for spreading or just dumping quickly. If anybody has, I'd love to see how you accomplished it. Sent from my LG-M210...

    M813 Batteries / Charging

    If this is going to become a pissing contest, might as well shut this down now. And for the record, the vast majority of "battery manufacturers" you quoted above don't manufacture batteries at all or have some niche market they serve such as solar or ups, not automotive. Optima is made by...

    M929 Dump trucks with increased capacity prototype bed?

    These aren't great for moving lots of material, bed is small. Now, if you need a site truck that will do good off-road the 817 or 929 would be great. They are just to small and slow to compete with any commercial dump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M939 Frames...

    Just out of curiosity, why does it even matter? The frame is the same basic design on all 3 series so I don't see how it would matter at all other than the additional work to mod it for the next generation. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    I'm not at all familiar with that set up but is it possible the linkage is out of adjustment so you're not getting full fluid flow in one direction? Try swapping the lines on the winch motor and see if that reverses the issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
