OK... power steering pump bracket broke. Got another bracket.
Got the old power steering pump out and got a new one ready to go in, with new pulley too as I could not get the old one off. Actually when I got the bracket I got a another pulley also tossed in. So, I gave up fighting to get the...
I have my interior and exterior lined (Speedliner) and it did next to nothing for sound or heat.
It is real nice though and wouldnt hesitate to do it again.
I have also used the do it yourself Herculiner and it doesnt come close to comparing to a Rhino, Line-X or Speedliner job.
Wonder why. The axles were offered with a limited slip option and also a full locker option.
I would think that at least a limited slip would come into play as a benefit in the military trucks.
Trying to find the right dealer that will work with on part numbers to find the rotors.
Anyone know of such a dealer that would be willing to spend some time on this?
Good to know.
Do you know what the above differences are? Thickness and backspacing?
Preferably, I would like the one with more backspacing and lighter weight.
What the ****, I will toss in an update.
20.7 for the 800 miles home from SC to MI. Not bad.
Getting about 17 to and from work. Some city and some 2 lane country roads.
But, the question still remains.... can the 5 tons be used on the FMTV wheels. My concern comes from the planatary ends... are they too big for the center hole on the 5 tons rims?
This is my most likely route... but, they are HEAVY. Not sure what the weight on the 5 tons are.
Once I get my hands on the axles... I will start taking measurements and see what i can come up with.
I saw on Avin Meritors website a pdf for dozens and dozens of rotors. One of them will HAVE to fit and give me enough room to make up some caliper brakets.
I see on Arvin Meritor's website that the RF-611 axle (which is what I am pretty sure is under the current FMTVs) has an option for disc brakes.
Has anyone actually seen one with disc brakes?
