    Stupid Insurance Agent

    my new gulfway (travelers) policy seems restricted to parades and crap. They are about to lose it if I can't drive it where I please for pleasure.

    I found a V8 Deuse

    If that hard top is in good shape and for sale I'd like to discuss it. I am using a military HT and it's OK but it need something a bit more stout for a project.

    Transfer Case options???

    Swapping the 900 series T-case in to the 800 series truck is a big, big job and there's no one way to do it best because of the differences in the case mountings and the angles. Mine had to be offset slightly from the transmission to fit but that is nothing to fear with the best u-joints. I...

    Road-Trip Food - The Good, The Bad, and The Unidentifiable

    This old thread needs renewed, c'mon, it's fun! Let's hear from more members about MV recovery/road trip's "things best looked at but not eaten" Got to be a lot of stories by now!

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    The goal is to get the truck off redline at 52MPH. Any means of doing it can be discussed here. Starting a new thread will only fragment this information. I have no idea what center sections from junkyards cost. I changed the T-case, but that was not an easy job at all in an M818 due to the...

    M816 Cummins egine mods needed

    looking at this, where does one add an A/C compressor? Anyone done that? Several people have said the NHC250 is already maxed out on power and does not have piston coolers, but I don't know. also jwaller - -your website link http://www.wallerperformance.com is some kind of "advetisement...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    There are some 4.10's around for the M818's axles, the price of the gears alone was >$3000 per axle. Other axles might be fine, what about the front drive? I do plan to go with OTR traction tires on the rear and OTR steer tires on the front to improve safety, just a question of time and $. First...

    Slaveing with Genset??

    Just like connecting jumper cables to two cars and waiting 5-10 minutes, connect the generator set and wait 10-15 minutes and try it. If the batteries are any good they should charge enough to get the truck cranked. You can use the set for charging if you watch the ammeter/current meter, I...
