I welded on my bumper extentions with 6010 and 7018 towed up to 35 k with it you shouldn't have to worry about the frame just butting to it, proper welding would have to be done when welding forward of the rear spring mound or aft of the front spring mount.

that was one thing I forgot I never secure the strap in the pintle I run the strap through a shackle than secure the shackle in the pintle.

I do it on my lmtv all the time 3 times last year I pulled a case w24 back up on the road I have yet to break the pintle hitch

My thoughts on the subject are weight and tractive force of the tires are going to require a big motor to see any performance what you need to get that thing going is torque. if it was me I think I would go duce frame, 5 ton axles and 8.3 cummins.that would be the best compromise between torque...

Those have 92 series ddaciiii engines I would bet they are speed limited electronically my experience though is the 92 will only top out around 2125 with out doing internal damage to the engine, but because its a 2 stroke engine it sounds like its turning 4 k.

this whole thread sounds like what I went through on my daughters 1009, we got it for free but cost us 1500 bucks to barge it from bethel ak to nome . the truck was in reasonably good condition but things like starter bolts were missing and wiring and alternators were all jacked up. it took me a...

if you want flex get rid of the short springs leave the longer ones in, generally spacers in the front aren't recommended I have seen some commercial rigs set up that way from the factory.

what makes the lmtv springs work is the length. the 5 ton springs are stacked up short and tight removing a few of the shorter springs in the pack would improve your ride, but to maintain ride hight you would have to add spacers or lengthon the hangers.

on the hmmwv its most likely a tooth worn on the flywheel, I did have a leacenaville starter on my lmtv do that and it had a bent fork on it. I have seen very few gm style drives fail they weren't like the old Chrysler gear reduction starters from the 70's. that said delco drives can fail to...

The seats I liked, and wished I could find were the suspension seats used in the lsac cabs, they looked military, but I could nap at lunch time in them they were so comfortable. I believe they were made by mastercraft if I remember right.

Take a look at the fuel return banjo bolt, there is a little screen and check ball in them. If something has plugged or restricted it there, you wont fill the pump, and the engine will act as if its starving for fuel.

Could be a blown fuseabal link they make a lot of smoke real quick.

Start with your voltage 12 volts will energize the solenoid but it will be weak . it sounds to me like your only getting 12 volts to the solenid

I would check to see if you are getting 24 volts to the switch wire on the solenoid it kind of sounds like the disc isn't making contact with the high amp contacts. If you have 24 volts at the switch terminal and at the battery terminal I would put my money on a bad starter.

Cat makes a baring tool that bolts in in place of a starter than you can use the wrench of your choice to bar it over. I would pull the oil pan and loosen up mains and rodds first before pulling the heads. if you have a piston locked up in a liner than your going to have pull the rod loose from...

if the pedal is hard it sounds like you aren't getting any assist out of the air pack. last a-3 I drove the pedal seemed to require more force to hold It down than the old single master cylinder a-2, but it would stop. Brakes are one reason I went with the lmtv over time air brakes require a...

I was wondering where you were at I'm out in Nome, Just a little more remote than you are. Here are some pics from the job site the other night had to use an atv for access the ground was just too soft for the lmtv.had to re code the injectors on the excavator

Yes but the 548 uses a few more shoes per track otherwise the components are the same. The other thing that is different as I remember is the torsion bars are longer to.

I stumbled on that one in post 1 last spring down on post road while I was visiting anchorage. its also missing the power pack, I too also thought what a cool toy.

the one up here swam for a short time before it sunk on a swollen river. I do remember de watering the engine.
