Pop one off and take it into any heavy truck shop and they can get you longer studs. NAPA would work too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't you know the tires are only rated for... eh never mind, be safe and have fun! My A2 cruises nicely at 70 with 53's! Now the 817 dump is another story, she is a 50mph rig at max speed. Quite the work horse though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that's thinking lol! It'd probably work great but you would have to drive slow enough to allow for reaction time. Added bonus, it will show when your on the fish too!! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe with an old carb'd gas engine but unlikely with a high compression diesel. At least not the quantity that was coming from that stack. A fine, well balanced mist would probably make it but if it took even a small gulp she would be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what I wanted to do on my M817 dump but ended up going 14.00's just due to availability. I'd say 12.00's are the way to go on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it was leaking on the intake you wouldn't see it coming out the exhaust because the truck would have already died or blown a head gasket or cracked head/piston or hydro locked or..... either way, water doesn't just pass through a running engine. Condensation or leaking exhaust, both...

You old farts are no fun!! Both of my trucks were cheaper than a new ATV and are for work around the house and fun. I would drive my truck through that in a heartbeat! This is a hobby and like any other it costs money. Best case, lots of maintenance afterwards. Worst case, locked up engine...

1. Am I crazy? -Yes 2. Has anyone here ever done something similar and converted their 5 ton or even deuce to an RV? -Many times, do some searching, that 40 hours wasn't enough I guess. 3. Is it plausible to drop in a Cummins NHC 400 insteadof the 8.3? If so, what other changes will I have...

It's an air leak problem. Replace fuel lines if you haven't, rebuild or abandon the primer pump and make sure you replaced the small o ring at the bolt on the filter. My filter housing never sealed up right so I replaced with a spin on and have never had an issue since. Sent from my iPhone...

Totally disagree with this statement, ever driven in mud or soft ground? I'd take my 4x4 pickup truck with lsd and open front end over the 6x6 any day. Lockers of any type would change the game. Honestly at this point I think I'm out and just picking up detroits, can't wait forever and winter...

I think we all realize that but these are old technology and manufacturing complex components has gotten easier than it was when these axles were originally designed and created. The point is very few people will spend 5k+ for a full set of air lockers when you could go Detroits in the rears or...

And for the record, mine always seems to stop turning when the truck is turned off. Is that normal? [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

floods He said the fan isn't spinning. It won't until it's needed. Belt is always spinning but that's common sense. I suppose I can make a diagram or YouTube videos but if you have not owned a vehicle with an air system you may not know that the fan is turned on and off by air. The op may...

Fan belt driven but turned on as needed via the air system. It shouldn't spin unless it's needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In reality, how much winching do you do? It's likely not going to fail as I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of other running the same combination of soup in there and work just fine. Put the correct fluid in it and run it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This should have been done years ago when 5 ton interest and ownership was at it's peak. Would have been profitable then. Now it's likely that if it does come through the price will be so astronomically high that few will purchase them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still no new info on this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in at less than 1k Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

We're all of those m939 series trucks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd be interested to see the results of a tear down on these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
