    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Okay, a did the Low Buck mod on the full fuel screw, I turned it out 3 full turns and tightened the jamb nut back down, went for a ride and really don't see a big difference. So I will take the next step, the star wheel, one full turn for starters. I take it, these are subtle...

    M939 transfer case air lines installed wrong

    Where can I buy a new air valve? It appears as though my M923a2 valve is gray plastic, it is split, and is leaning air. (Or am I confused and not looking at the right part?). I tried searching the net but I must not be using the correct terminalogy for that part.

    Battery Advice needed

    Lots of threads here on batteries, so at the end of the day; with all of your lessons learned, what would you recommend to someone who has a 5 Ton with 4 dead Hawker HASP-FT 6TL batteries? I have read about the Optima Redtop option, I don't like the idea of cutting back so much of the...

    Is there a site that sells parts based on Military Part numbers? Or a conversion to common part ID such as threads per inch, pitch, material, elbow, etc? I'm trying to find a replacement fitting for a leaky air line to the poppet valves on the transmission on my M813. The part number is...

    NATO slave outlet

    Could the slave receptacle on the side of the cab be used as a temp connection point for a 24v electric winch for the bed? I'm unsure if this outlet is a good point to use for a high amp draw - over a prolong time (5 minutes or so). Basically looking for a quick connection for a 5k winch for...

    Hardtop for the M813

    I am trying to decide if a hardtop is worth putting on my 813, and part of the debate is finding one thats in great shape and fits. I did locate this on the internet, but I don't know if this particular top fits the 813. Would anyone here have experience with this, and the cross reference...

    Please help with HEMTT wheels:

    I am trying to mount 14.00R20 tires on the 2-piece HEMTT wheels (see the wheel below) and for the life of me, can't get the O Ring to stay in place. It almost seems as though it is 1/2" to large. I put grease in the groove to holding until the rim pieces are bolted together and I still get...

    Paint

    I'm looking to re-paint my 813 and I have a question about the CARC paint: can regular civi paint be applied over the CARC olive drab? If so, which kind is recommended - not so much the brand name, but the type - I thought that I saw alyklid enamle can not be applied over the CARC. I'd rather...

    M939 v.s. M813 Front Lift Shackle

    Are the M939 front lift shackles a fit for an M813 front shackle mounts? The info I have on the M939 shackle is that the pin is 1" diameter and 1.55" between the holes. I don't know the dimensions of the bracket eye on the M813. Any help is appreciated.

    New M813 Owner - Progress

    So far I have received my 1970 M813 (driven 622 miles from Ohio) and couldn't be happier. Matt (Vintageiron) has been a HUGE help with setting me straight on owning one of these trucks. Once it arrived, I was a bit concerned that I got in over my head, but I have since been talked down of the...
