He can have mine, I am removing it as I already have a new design in mind. My design involes arduino so I dont think it would be a feasible design for the masses. Plus I'm changing over to 12v. Mine is the older style for the nhc 250. M809 series and M939(A1) series.

If money was no object I would own all the M1070's, lol

Not to derail but there is a detroit locker available for the 5 tons currently. http://www.gearharteng.com/5-ton-detroit-locker/

Not air but disc conversions. Brace yourself, pretty pricey in my eyes. http://www.gearharteng.com/#

My unit was tasked with training the Iraq Army on the M1's in 06-08. We trained them on how to operate and repair.

Do you have a build thread we can follow this progress. I am very interested in how this turns out.

Laid some paint down today. Behr through a hvlp harbor freight gun.

Let me search that for you... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?16550-5-ton-sprag-question&highlight=mwo&p=922782&viewfull=1#post922782

Wow busy busy. I thought I was rushing myself redoing my 818 in time for the ss ga rally, and I don't do anything else.

Biggest thing is the rotors, what lines up to the pinions, both 2.5 & 5 ton. I was under the impression that holding pressure on hydraulic brakes for long periods of time isnt recommended. If I could do that I would put a line lock on the front drums instead.

Sycotic Fabrication out of Carencro. Personally I think for our applications converting the drum to disc on the parking brake would be ideal, at least that is what I'm going for. Also air disc calipers are way expensive. Can get a air brake pack and fab up a bracket to pull the tension on the...

Pretty neat. I like the PTO option. I guess everything will be easy to do then, have several air switches for multiple configurations, lol

I emailed a place out of Louisiana about the calipers they use. Seeing if there is an oem version that will bolt up to their kit that will offer a parking brake option. I'm not entirely to keen on the rotor design as it has the company logo in it but for the price it's not to bad, both 2.5 & 5...

How do you plan on engaging the transfer to full time front? I remember we would press the mode button on the Allison panel to put the transfer in full front drive. What about going between high and low? Seems everything was done on the Allison panel.

I edited my post, but be aware you are going to run into ratio differences that are going to take away your top speed. Yes the FMTV's are full time, spent my first deployment behind the wheel of one everyday on route Tampa. This should be neat either way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the FMTV series is a constant front drive engage. As stated in the literature you provided it isn't full but at 32% still providing power to the front axle. I'm not trying to discourage you on this but I don't see the benefit of this over the sprag when you can do...

Dagnabbit Bobby!

Is that a car stereo on the dash or aircraft? Reminds me of when our FSR "found" our 1009 my last deployment in Iraq. We didn't ask questions, especially when he somehow managed to get us a new crated engine for it, we just drove it.
