Oh yes, I remember a few years ago rolling nasty bio-blend through my M818 from a Hooks recovery. Even posted it on SS here! The memories..

Got this M813A1 running today with surprisingly little to no trouble. Bang out a few dents, temp sender replacement, and fuel shut off solenoid to be done but otherwise she is a happy truck..the engine has to be turned up as she is a speed demon! I forgot how much fun the M809 trucks are...
I'm parting this M813 if I can't get it running, if that's the case you are welcome to the filter housing for the price of shipping...also a bonus if you like the color yellow! :mrgreen:
Prices range from $4750-22500 pending condition and how the stars align. Running units in fair shape fetch around $9K before fees. Prepare to replace a lot of hoses and do some trouble shooting, don't expect any tools/accessories to be on board but you never know! You can easily slip $10k into a...
Got in the batch of 4 M813s this week, unloaded the last two which were Marine M813A1s. The big one has all the trimmings: PTO, heater, deep water fording kit, and maybe..lockers (no sticker on dash seen). Both wanted to fire up with a push start and had brakes! Win!
And at the same time the quantity of FMTVs, trailers, Unimogs, and etc increased. They're smart at how they can get the most dollars for uncle sam's old toys, it's their job. They sell in waves based on condition, quantity, and location.. it's no secret. This keeps the market of an area from...
Depending on when your trailer was rebuilt there may be a 90 degree elbow and a reducer/adapter to fit standard trucker airlines. My 2011 rebuild was like this, all my other 01-04 trailers were just plumbed right into the trailer without anything else.
I've got some actual NOS military magnetic tail light sets that are one piece, they're long enough to reach around a 5 ton. I'll have to dig them out of storage but they're LED and "plug n' play".
I got off the phone with Swamp Donkey just a while ago and he's sending me a bushing. I've got NOS spindles incoming from auction and I may just put one on it to be safe. I would like to swap the axle shaft out to eliminate any potential issues there as well. The question is can I pull a front...
Exactly. It looks like something was shaving against the axle shaft inside the spindle and it got wrapped. I don't see any bushing or etc in the TM in this location.
I'm having a trouble truck here that keeps tossing me problems with the front axle. RRAD did a poor job when they "overhauled" it by not greasing the bearings causing a cascade of issues. I redid both hubs with new seals and bearings and it apparently didn't like it. What is caused this issue...
MWMULES is right for the most part. There is no A0, A1, A2, A3 models like the M35 and M939 series trucks. There are M813A1 cargo trucks but they are dropside trucks, no change otherwise.
"The M813 and M813A1 cargo trucks have 7 x 14-foot (2.14 x 4.27 meters) flatbed boxes. The M813A1 truck...
The 250 is going to be cheaper to acquire and more practical to find parts for. I can't speak on a side by side comparison but the 250 would be a more logical choice.
