The one tire I got on my truck that ain't dry rot cracked all to hell is a Mud Claw Extreme MT. Obviously ol boy i bought the truck from had a blow out & had to buy 1 tire because it looks brand new. I'm seriously considering just buying 5 more of em since I got the one good one already. It's a...

Makes sense being 10 bolts & 6 lug.

So the hmmwv tires I've looked at are for 16.5in rim. In your 1st picture those look like the original dually wheels. Aren't they 16in wheels? Ok, I stand corrected. Those aren't the same wheels on my truck. I had to go outside & look though. They are close. That brings up another question...

Easy man. I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, just asking questions. That absolutely doesn't mean I don't value the advice of the members here. This form is a valuable asset to all MV owners. It's helped me out more than once. I'm a Goodyear fan. I run Wranglers on my 2wd truck. I'm not...

So I'm looking online & keep coming across tires that are made by companies I've never heard of. Achilles, Kanati, Roadone, Nankang. Yall ever heard of any of these folks? Is it just Chinese crap or do they make decent tires? Some of them "look" pretty good as in i like the tread pattern but...

Awesome. I'll have to look into that ORD stuff. I split the frame on a square body i had years ago running 38x14.5s. That was back in the good ol days when we were mud bogging every weekend.

Man them NDTs look awesome on the CUCV. I never even thought of that. Who made them wheels for you? Did you reinforce your frame at the gear box to run that big/heavy a tire? I know from 1st hand experience these squares body's like to break at the gear box if you run big tires and/or wheel em...

I was hoping to get a conversation started about what tires yall have on your trucks, both size & type & your experience w/them. Off road performance & tread wear on the highway. I have 315/75r16s on my m1028a2. It's a hodgepodge of 3 buckshot radials, 2 nitto mud graplers & 1 mud claw. All...

Got the peice of bolt today. Once I got me a hole drilled in it an ez-out took it right out. Thank God!

Thank you for checking it man. I made some drill guides to take advantage of the couple threads i got left & hopefully overcome the already off center drilling attempt.

This alternator bolt looks to metric. Does that sound right? I don't have a pitch gauge handy but the thread diameter measures .387. I'm really surprised it's not 3/8-16

Thank you. I've got a buddy that going to let me borrow his Snap-on extractor kit. Has left handed bits & ez-outs. Fingers crossed.

In the process of tightening up belts i uncovered an old band-aid. The lower bolt on the passenger alternator has an old bolt broke in the hole maybe 1/4"-3/8" in. The stack of washers on the bolt head should have been a red flag. It was late, hot, long day Yada yada.... So I went on & stripped...

Awesome! Please keep us posted.

Welcome to the site. I'm also right on. The SC/GA line in North Augusta. This is a great MV site full of awesome people. Definitely a valuable resource.

Ok. Thanks yall. By the way, my 1028 has a SM465 4 speed manual & NP205 t-case. I love the sm465 & hate it at the same time. Been thinking about a NV4500 or 700r4 for some top end but thats way down the road.

Ok so a buddy of mine is a diesel mechanic (& a damn good one) & he builds differentials so i trust his judgment. He said if it was his truck he would use 75w140 synthetic in everything, diffs, trans & t-case. Says it has the friction modifiers i need & will be better in high heat situations...

Thats good to know. It just so happens that my truck has a sm465/np205 in it. They are also on the short list for a fluid change. Hell I may just buy a bucket of Lucas or the like & go on & do the whole truck.

Man that's awesome. Thank you! I'll pm you my info.

What will you take for it?
