Ok, I searched and got the deuce step by step guide. I got a harbor freight slide hammer but no luck on trying to remove it with that. The tm just calls for an oil seal replacer, no real help there. I read you can take it out from behind, this confuses me as the other end is the axle housing...

I'm at the point in the boot replacement where I need to get the steering knuckle off. Problem is the upper bushing holder won't budge. I read the deuce step by step guide and according to it, it should just come right off. Ok, yeah I'll keep that in the back of my mind for the other side. I'm...

Ok so my sockets came in yesterday and decided I would try and tackle the drivers front today. Socket is a little loose but I guess that is ok, it is an OTC socket and I ordered the ones referenced here in the threads. Put my 450 ft lb impact on it and no joy. Broke a ratchet with a 5 ft...

This is driving me crazy trying to find the correct fitting size for the ip inlet. I picked up a diesel pump and I know I need to get some reducers and adapters to make it work inline with it. Specs of the pump I got: 24 Volts DIESEL Negative Ground 1/4-18 NPSF fittings 10 to 14 PSI 35 GPH...

Well the time has come for me to add more than just a power port to the truck. I've been buying, and planning since I bought it from trooper and now the time has come to put all the pieces together. This build will span over several weeks, mainly as weather permits. I couldn't have done this...

***Answer*** 2 1/16 [2.06] (52.4 mm) which comes close to the voltmeter gauge of 2.078 diameter. ***Orignal question*** So I'm ordering some new gauges and I don't have my truck in front of me and can't seem to find this in the threads. Does anyone know what the gauge sizes are if I wanted to...

Ok, I searched and what I came up with is dealing with the deuce. Since I'm in the 5 ton class I figured I would ask. I have a set of the FMTV wheels I'm going to put on my 818 and since they are aluminum I'm debating deep dishing out because of the indent for the lug on the outer side. Now, I...

I am looking for the 90 degree wedge that is set for the 1400x20 tires. I am going to be putting 395's on my 818 and want to get the spedo as close as I can and I read in an old thread, which I asked in it to, that you can use the one for the 1400x20 tires. Now, I know the 939 series came with...

Ok so I pull off to the service road because I was getting the check engine and gauges lights and buzzer. Shut truck down and started going over it to make sure everything was ok. Get back in and it won't start. Turn the switch and both battery gauges so in the yellow as normal but when you...

So I'm helping another member recover his 1070 from bliss to fl. So far the trip has been great, averaging 45 and pissing off drivers because they can't read the reflective slow vehicle sign or see the flashing amber lights. So about 9 miles out of lake Charles I hear a thud. I pull off to...

I never thought I would introduce the truck to mud but me and the wife took the 4-wheeler out and it got stuck, and I mean stuck. Light bulb, hey I have this huge truck, it can get it out. Good news, 4-wheeler is free...bad news... Tried a come along, I decided to back off before I broke...

Ok, I did a little search but nothing pertaining to the 818 truck. I sprayed the bolts that hold the plate over the tank today with some wd-40 and tried to remove the bolts with my ratchet and wrench and it was a no-go. Little timid to take heat to it as both tanks are full and I've seen first...

Ok I searched but came up with changing the axle flanges, so not really what I was looking for. When I place the truck in reverse I hear the tell tell air release like in the 939 series when you disengage the front axle. Didn't see that in the schematic so I was wondering if it is possible to...

In my other thread I mentioned a high idle issue that started on my trip. It was mentioned that it was my throttle return spring that was bad. I went to look at the spring to get it's measurement, and compare it to what the tm calls for and what is on the truck is longer. The tm calls for a...

Well the week is upon us, and a very blessed Memorial Day. Please remember to take a moment of silence at 1500 your local time to remember those fallen. Now, thanks to trooper632 for selling me his M818. The trip will start at Friday at a early wakeup of 0230. Conduct pre-trip at 0300, and the...

Greeting all. I am in the process of buy a M818 from another member and I have searched the forum for this but haven't found anything. I am wanting to put a civilian class IV or V receiver to be able to pull my trailer if need be and I was wondering if there was anything that is a bolt in type...
