these chassis medium duty (with a little more strength than average) / like most all medium duty chassis are made to occasionaly haul heavy loads. These also with ruff terrain in mind. But that is NOT all the time loads and that is not loads that are solid (aka they haul bunch of heavy...
@87cr250r they don't make Cardian joints for rigs this big unless they are specialized..... which is anti the plan for military trucks to be mostly off the shelf commercial parts.. Think the high pinion axle..... was how they compensated for that reality.
will see if he changes bed route. Think he has two trucks now so he does not HAVE to keep the bed. In past he had too remove it cause truck was also used for business. (plowing)
check your batteries...... as in you must have solid good 24v into bats AND back out or your transmission will do odd things. Also it may need to re-learn shifting. oh... and thanks for searching first...... That is the right thing to do though TomTime has a point on quoting someone in an...
ahhhhhhh..... so like Ronmars description of a pinched line.. that repair that would in many instances be fine/but not here...... ended up changing the pressure and causing valve to dump.
nice mount mod. question for us that do not have ability to machine this nicely.... what about just cutting across the bottom with sawzall then use grinder to compete the mod. Essentualy just removing the area in the red rectangle and grind small notch to final align hole in the alt's rear...

My understanding is 14:00s are just being made less (made less available in US? ) cause US military no longer specs them for any vehicles. Some European still does.
Ava8or is not a member here anymore. (or it is bad name spelling?) am curious of his bracket for compressor could instead by used to mount a second alternator. particularly if went to more stock alternator w/ CAT bracket... instead of military one.
thanks for posting. read up on 4wheel drive sites about "rock rings" . These are similar in design. some love em.... some hate em. IMHO think its your typical topography that dictates that as well as who is trailer queens and who drive home. Lot of water/mud and they cake up with mud...
shrink tube. Folk do that over electronic boards in RC cars etc. while hot pinch the end with tweasers or something to melt the end shut. With that in mind you might can heat up a PVC tube ... while hot.... screw it on to thread it. the PVC glue a pipe cap on that. or mayyybe; if you can...
Just a heads up..... posting contact info is a bit of bad ju ju to discussion boards. It attracts bots searching for info to collect on people... till they have enough from different sources to sell it to various ID theft criminals...... Your risk.... BUT... it is also the boards risk...
