You should use what Allison recomends NOT whatever the military last used. In the HEMTT the US Army didn't want to stock Dextron EVERYWHERE and wanted to use 15W-40 motor oil. Allison said they could but longevity would be impared, and it WAS! That didn't mean they had to supply every FOB...

I've been told by several current drivers of these that under certain conditions they can take a sudden and un-commanded hard turn without warning. One of these drivers was following one in his truck when the lead truck veered sharply off the road, crashed and rolled. Please be careful and...

Do you mean the M989 or the M989A1? I have the A1 and it is indeed VERY heavy, but then again it was designed to be towed by a HEMTT. Empty the trailer is technically too heavy for a Deuce, loaded it would be unmanageable for one. I'm not sure of the suspension on the M989 but the A1 should...

YES, that is the walking beam, you can put a stand under it.

A jack under the walking beam is just fine. I thought my 610 lb 20 ton floor jack was big . . . I've seen bottle jacks bigger but not floor jacks. My 20 ton vs. a 3 ton floor jack . . .

MY GOSH, I'm so sorry Dave! You all will be in our prayers!!!!!!! :shock:

Sorry, you're stuck unless you can get an exemption from the US State Department, good luck with that. Even Jacques Littlefield, the now deceased billionaire, ran into difficulties and I don't think that even he was able to import an M4A4 Sherman in from the UK, that model was lend-lease only...

I hauled a 13,600 lb. offshore powerboat and trailer behind my 6.2 in the hilly Pacific North West. That said, the 6.2 was in my '93 Hummer. :cookoo:

I'm not suggesting that the OP is making anything up but I think there was a whole lot of money from the state and "Uncle Sugar" in the books. Solar isn't going to make that kind of ROI, the cost per watt is just too high. 2cents

I have a 93 only because it came with the truck, I about fell over when I saw what good ones are worth. :shock:

Mk 93's are EXPENSIVE!

:soapbox: aua :x Effing time wasters, I can't even give stuff away! Time for me to disappear for a few months, and concentrate on shooting things. :evil:

I was worried about this, I bet some attorneys got wind of the LVS's tendency to get squirrelly under certain circumstances. Best of luck guys, I hope I'm wrong. aua

If we go, we do it with the PSMVCC, numbers you know. :beer:

With tires and wheels rated at about 15,000 apeice I'd sure hope not.

1 3/4" on the lugnuts.

You don't "go to the tire shop" they send a truck to you with all the tools. You need a 1" inpact gun and a HUGE air supply. I torque by hand, I only use impact to snug things up. If you fail to strech the studs all the nuts will back off several turns in a mile or so . . . don't ask me how I...

The nuts holding wheel halves together have to be torqued to 450 ft.lb. and the front lug nuts 600 lb.ft. and rears about 525-550. As bbf stated, have a tire shop do it unless you have a REALLY big torque wrench. I do my own but I'm crazy . . . . :???:

BTW, Jane wants another Base-X so if anyone has a "pristine" 203 she would be happy to buy it. :grd:
