    fishing for thoughts on a 5 ton 8x8 (fake hemtt)

    Jon, Evidently great minds do indeed think alike. :D I have mentioned the same idea to several people who already think I am crazy. :cookoo: My idea is to cut the frame with the rear suspension and put it in front of the engine. Replace the rear axles with steering axles and fab a power...

    Mississippi recovery gone BAD!

    Reference the pre-trip hookup and inspection: I checked all the usual suspects prior to rolling. We had used the same pins the last time we did a recovery and they worked great. What I forgot was that I had dummy corded them the last time so they couldn't pull out. Some how I missed that step...

    Lots of Wrecker owners on here!

    I just joined the "hooker" crew. My 800 series is in Hattiesberg (Camp Shelby), Ms, waiting for the EUC to clear. Just in case something is FUBAR and I can't drive it home is there anyone near me that could recover my recovery vehicle? I am in NE Ala. About 700 miles round trip. I'll pay fuel...

    Big cam III in a 5ton?

    J, One of the guys at work is a "diesel doctor" and I asked him about maxing out the 250 with a turbo, bigger injuctors, another cam, etc. He said said cost wise you would be better off to do the swap unless you can do all the work yourself and have access to a machine shop.. Wrecker

    Big cam III in a 5ton?

    There was a recent post from someone that bought a 400 Cummmins from GL. It was new and was for the M915 road tractor. I would think that it would be a fairly simple bolt in if the demsions are the same as the 250 and all the plumbing would hook up. I plan to try to find one to put in my newly...

    Stainless steel coils for WVO or ethanol production

    I got these stainless steel coils off GL last week and in my mind they would make great heat exchangers to put in a auxillary tank WVO system. They could also be used as a worm on a still..........err as part of an ethanol producing device. :wink: They are approx 1 inch in diameter with a...

    600 miles in 13 hours with hills, rain, and snow.

    Welcome to the "We drove it home club". Me and FreightTrain have made two of these road trips. The last one two weeks ago included a drive through snow from Ind. to Ala. We had Offroadworks with us and since he is from Ohio originally the snow didnt bother him much. We bought back my M52 5 ton...

    Hire a Huey?

    My first duty assignment in the Army in 1972 was the 101st Abn. at Fort Campbell, KY, The unit had just returned from Nam and the pilots still flew like they were there. I was a M-60 gunner in the infantry and oh how I hated humping that weapon. When a guy from the Cav came by looking for door...

    M819 RECEIVES NTC400!!

    I hope you bought enought to sell me one for my newly aquired wrecker. I drive the 915's and except for that Splaterpiller tranny I thought they were good trucks. We convoyed in them from Fort Benning, Ga to the National Training Center in Kalifornia. If you turned them up to 2100 RPM the 915...
