    What vehicle did 12.00 x 20 NDTs come stock on?

    The M62 wrecker is fitted with 1200x20. The British A.E.C. Militant was fitted with them. I have A.E.C. militant 1200x20 wheels and tires on one of my deuces. (Flipped and singled out). Great cruise low R.P.M.s and extra M.P.G.

    Deuce water in gear oil

    I don't think condensation would do that in the short time you say you drove it. There simply must have been water ingress through the torn boots at some point, And you don't recall driving in the wet. Could be water had accumulated in the bottoms of the torn boot before you purchased the truck...

    Tire options for m35a2- so lost

    I have 1200x20 on two of my deuces. MAKE SURE you obtain tire with a GOOD tread pattern and grip. These trucks DO NOT steer ( At all well ) ,in the wet ice or snow. Do not use the speed available in inclement weathers. Just drive carefully and enjoy the lower RPMs cruise and better fuel mileage.

    Major issue after installing 16:00's

    What IS 'pricey' If you NEED them?... Check ALL mountings and Bushing, And include the spring hangers and 'U' bolts.

    Stuck in the mud by a factor of 10

    We can not view the article in the U.K. (E.U). Because of " (The) General Data Protection" Regulation (GDPR) . So I thought I would read up the 'regulation'. Now. I consider myself well educated, However, I could make absolutely nothing of the unintelligible gobbledegook official; speak whatsoever.

    Fun with Tires

    The 'torch' is one those absolutely 'must have' items in the workshop. I certainly could not have completed all the tasks I have completed over the years without one.

    Odd noise

    As We never go deep water plodding, the vent lines from the slave and brake master cylinders are disconnected. And the others are routed to the intakes near the air cleaners.

    Odd noise

    Look in the T.M. for your truck, There will be a schematic for the air system including all the venting that is fitted for fording purposes. You can disconnect the fuel tank vent line coming in and re route it. The vent coming out can also be re positioned so that no pressurizing occurs.
