Sorry but who ever told you that has never been inside a 3053 and actually counted teeth... Also the TMs do have mistakes, but regarding the speed ratios of both, 3052 and 3053 transmissions, the info is accurate and correct.

It's more than that.... 1/0.79 = 1.266 That would be almost 27%

Yes, correct...! It has been done countless times, and not only by the military. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/extensive-m108-repairs-part-2.34765/ Now, if you were planning to use one of the 5-ton 465LDS engines, your first step would be some modifications to the engine itself -...

It's a typo, 7/16"-13 doesn't exist.

The HMMWV wheel is 8-¼ wide and has a backspace of ~7", compared to your std wheel with only 5" BSp. That's why people use 2" spacers when running stock HMMWV wheels & tires on a M1008. In your case, a 1" spacer would be as much as you need, I think. And maybe only on the rears. (?)

Lol... And I took it literally - hoping to learn something new there, eventually... Yes, the engine tends to stop at the same spot, every time. So, it's usually only a couple teeth, that are affected. Over the time I have been able to save/restore more than one of these flexplates, by welding...

Milling as in machining? What exactly had to be milled? Please elaborate...

It's the "5209" that defines model & application: 6.5L N/A ,Military Heavy Duty, 1.2 cSt Second pic/pump comes from a rebuilder, most likely.

FWIW, regarding actual dimensions mentioned in that linked post: neither 4" or 4.25" is correct (!) 4.375" will barely fit, so better make it 1/16th larger. And the net width of the 4 "legs" should be 2.0", not less. Too loose fit is not an issue here; too tight is..... Pictured below is what I...

There's only about ½" left in between arm and wheel. And for comparison: stock M35 wheels have ~10.5" backspace.

Depends.... Did you flip the hubs? Maybe post a few pictures of the rears, installed.

Problem is you got the wrong wheels, with too much backspace . If you really wanted aluminum, you need this one: https://militarytires.ca/product/20x10-hutchinson-mrap/?wmc-currency=USD

That.... Feltz has the (correct) 12-bolt steel wheels at $50ea https://feltztire.com/product/mrap-steel-wheel-12-bolt/

Center has 10 chamfered holes on a 11¼" BC. 18 long and 2 short studs. It's your picture in post #4 and 98G's in the following post. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/fmtv-wheel-dims-jpg.314292/

Studs should always protrude a couple threads, sticking out of the nut. Both halves of the HEMTT wheel have their own center plate, about 10mm thick. Bolted together it's over ¾", a lot more than the thickness of the stock 5ton wheel center. So the original stud ends up being about ¼" too short.

For better comparison, see the dimensions and details, here...
