Yep, I've heard about the harmonic balancer failure with these engines, that's on the top of my list of things that scares me with these engines, I don't mind the extra maintenance with these trucks because I'm all about keeping up with maintenance, but the fact the harmonic balancer can give...
Clutch replacements is probably the main reason, no matter how much training you do, vehicles in service are driven by 18 year olds that would dump the clutch at red line
I've done a ton of reading, researching, & talking to others; I haven't seen any thread talk about it in a long time so I would like to hear some updated experience of the reliability with the 465 multifuels & the truck itself. I hear mix results from people, a lot say the engine is reliable and...
I got the pulley off, the shaft seems to not have any damage, could it be that the 200a generator is just too strong for the solid pulley and put too much stress on it when shutting the truck off over time? The clutch pulley never did this for the 2 years I had it on.
For the nut, the original...
Its a Plumbing nut, I had miss place my previous nut but I found it last week and was going to change it.
I don't have the small pulley conversion kit but this pulley is the same size as my seized up clutch pulley
2 months later, same thing happening again, I started to hear the same slop noise and decided to inspect it, pulley is back wobbling. It seems like the clutch pulley is the only safe one to use for long term, I've driven my truck a lot over the pass couple of months
Interesting, Im going to just wait and see if I could find the other aluminum ones, I'll just look like a tractor with small tires in the front and big tires in the rear for now if I have to use the truck lol
20" X 10" 335MM 10-Lug Hutchinson Aluminum Military MRAP 4X4 6X6 CTIS Wheel Rim (dvresidency.shop) Maybe Im wrong, but this seems way too good to be true
After taking some measurements, I highly doubt the spacer would work, the wheels I have is about 2 1/2 inch deeper inside than the stock wheels. What do you guys think about running the stock wheels on the 395s? I know people do it, but I'm concern about the rubbing since I have the waterloo...
After getting the wheel out of the way and checking under the truck, the wheel is rubbing on the arm that connects to the tie rod. My adapter plate is 3/8 in thick. Im guessing the 1/2-inch-thick spacer should solve the problem or at least I hope. These wheels offset seems very similar to the...
Smart I'm going to give that a try, I found some 1/2 Inch adapters, if those give it enough space than I'll go for some spacers in between the adapters. Does anyone have a picture of how close the tie rods are to the stock wheels or how it is to the other MRAP wheels?
Wheel Studs | MV Parts Store, for all your Military Truck Parts (mvpartstore.com) Seems like I can extend the studs with these and run spacers to space out the wheels from hitting the tie rods
