I was honored to be invited to the GATHERING by PB a few years ago, IF you are a viet nam vet, you need to go to at least one Gathering no matter if you are a trucker ,guntrucker, or not.

Driving a 915 pulling a lite box trailer, I got right at 6 mpg doing 70 with a bit of work, tried to suck the bottom, after that 65 with work was all I could do.

It was/is heavy duty, the same 855 block with some updates could be had from the factory in the 600 hp range for everyday use on the highway, I have heard of 1000 hp being pulled from the 855 block.

Also a bob tailed 931 (tractor) has NO weight on the rear axles, the reason the truck moved with the front engage is this is where 90% of the weight is making it harder to spin the tires.

One other thing, about 6 mpg +/- is what you get out of a 855 at higher rpm, it does not matter military or civilian, combined with crap gearing (644 rears and the worse geared transmission in a heavy truck that I have ever driven) equal low mpg, putting "Big" tires on just makes things worse...

The 6602 has a standard bell housing, do you plan to replace the flywheel ?, if so what are you going to do about the starter?, how do you plan to mount the torque converter?, what are you going to do for a flex plate? Will the cat 7155 clear the front axle driveshaft? (do not think so), will...

The sprag is a over running, one direction, automatic engaging clutch, in the 5t transfer (39/809) there are basically two over running clutches back to back, the internals in the transfer case have the front input (from the front axle rotation) turning 8% faster then the rears, when the rears...

They will work on ALL the 5t front hubs, the 39, 809, 939 series, though you will have transfer issues with the 39 and 809 series

A few years ago, I drove a 915 with trailer from NJ to NE, stock truck, stock tires, I could do 70 mph with a bit of work, 65 was no sweat, this was BEFORE I sucked the bottom of the tank. Instead of tires just turn up the fuel a bit, the 400 has a lot of untapped power.

Yes I drove the truck to the rally and back twice with out a issue. I would install new fuel filters, other then that can not think of anything else.

Loading a old friction crane is a seat pucker every time

When you hit on it with a hammer, use a 3lb to hit, a 8 or 10lb on the opposite side as backing, OR take Two 3lbs, one on each side, hit both sides simultaneous as you rotate the frozen item, moving back and forth along the length. The reason for this procedure is that you want the impact shock...

the truck is NOT a 818/817, does not have a right side fuel tank, looks like a 813 or a 809 as the base truck. The reason the wheel cutouts are off is because that body was built for a deuce that has a 12' bed, the 813 has a longer wheel base for a 14' bed

White Owl truck parts

Use a metric socket the next size down from the 9/16, with the extenson on the socket, drive the socket on the head of the bolt, this "should" get the bolt out.

Use a thin filter strap wrench or make one, oil the strap with a LOT of oil, tighten up, you should be good to go

Yep, a very easy in field tactical truck fix.

Looks like gvw is 11,000 each axle, would not matter on up armoring, still same gvw. I for one would not up armor a fmtv, whole truck is to flimsy and to easy to take out = JUNK built by the low bidder.

I think you have a SHORT, this blew the 3 lever along with you flasher issue, you say it kept getting worse, this sounds like a bare wire rubbing some where, it could be anywhere. If the short is bad enough, it WILL cook the cb in the 3 lever, that is also why the indicator is staying lit and...

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME, BAD BRAKES ON A SINGLE CIRCUIT SYSTEM AND YOU ASK "should I keep running the truck" DA aua You have a wheel cylinder leaking, your brakes ARE wet (no brakes on that wheel), a leak DOES NOT GET BETTER, at some point it WILL FAIL = NO BRAKES. NEED to THINK about what...
