    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    Good to hear!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Spring is trying to make a comeback here and I'm finally pursuing little projects again. I picked up a set of black rivets and added the missing data plates to the side of the bed.

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    FYI...When I did my front frame-to-axle hose I found out that the M35 and the M809s used different hoses so beware of those advertised as both.

    M818 gets a 7(6+1)-Speed

    My R&D group has been working with the Festo ADNM multi-stage pneumatic cylinder and it can be configured with up to 5 stages with stroke lengths starting at 1mm and incrementing 1mm at a time. This might be a solution but there are some limitations on stroke size (see pic) and you can't go...

    turbo on a NHC 250 Cummins?

    Are they the model 25B?

    The upgrade variants of the M916 NTC400 trucks

    Is that some sort of companion flange or trunnion or something?

    Tire options and where to buy

    If you're in Boise I would contact Alex at Idaho Motor Pool up the road in Fruitland. He's retiring this year and is wanting to clear out his inventory. He had brand new 16.00R20 XZLs just this last year and had wheels also. Not sure what his official inventory is right now but I would...

    Tire options and where to buy

    Feltz also has more in their inventory than what's on their website. There also this CSM army tires.com sponsor at the bottom of the main forum home page that has tires.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR 2022 - VOTE HERE

    @patracy, am I in the right cast of folks here? My truck was truck of the year for 2021 so I would think that I'm not eligible for it again. Whoever was truck of the month for Jan. 2022 should be in my spot...or maybe I'm more confused than I first thought.

    Tire options and where to buy

    You could run chains on the front and maybe one rear axle but there's not enough room between the rears for both axles to have chains on with 16.00R20s

    Fuel Filter Replacement

    Maybe I'm old school but I still prefer my stock canister fuel filter. It's far more robust and less susceptible to damage (think branches/ brush) than a thin spin on filter. Also, I don't think an M809 truck has a lift pump to suck from the tank and send to the injection pump. It only has...

    My son turned 2 today and he's taking out the M923 and the 7-ton to put them through their paces...

    Restoration parts for CVC helmets?

    Would the rubber be the same as the H-161 headsets? If so, I used to find NOS rubber ovals with foam inside that cup around the ears on ebay

    Vintage pics of M809s at Aberdeen Proving Ground

    I'm wondering if the stock fan is simply stiff enough to resist flexing into the radiator? I don't recall any TM steps calling for fan belts to be loosened but it's been awhile since I read through those.

    I'm also loving that Iwo grille insert / stone guard!
