Not trying to beat a dead horse to death, but want to make sure the transfer case in our truck is OK to continue operating. The operators manual I have talks about being able to tow in reverse IF the sprag is released. To release, it says to jack up one front tire, open the air drain valve and...

Anyone know anything about a flat deck carrier body for use with the M812A1 bridge truck? Just found references to this while running a search on Google. This would work great on the new truck, but for the over-width problem. Will have to research the requirements in NH for use of an...

Won a new truck on e-bay on 11-15-06. Have not even seen it yet, but I don't think it's a bad deal. M812A1 bridge retriever truck with brand new drop-side bed and spare set of tires. Problem is/was distance, it's in Down East Maine over 12 hours from central NH. Trying to arrange trucking...

Any suggestions for suppliers who sell the better quality zipper type axle boots for the 5 tons? Need at least 1 for our H2O truck on the left side. Really don't want to do a full tear down of the front end, so we will try a zipper type. Would rather pay more money for a quality part than...

Measured H2O truck today, and the rears are 56" apart as others have stated. The axles are 59-60" at the brake backing plate flange, and appear to be the same as other 5 tons. The torque rods are 25" long and all six are the same. The 56" axle spacing also means that the drive shaft between...

Anyone have the turbo maps for the 5 ton turbo off a multifuel? Would it work on a 2½ ton multi? Just got one cheap, and was wondering if you could change them out, boost the fuel and get more power. Second thought was to use it on a 5 ton gasser in a blow through setup. Just want a low...

We have finally got the converted M139 (bridge truck) water truck to a jobsite for use. Everything works great but there is a small noise from the clutch release bearing when depressed. Have tried to download manuals from the tech section on two different computers and can't seem to get...

Anyone know of any type of hi-po upgrades for the 602 gasser motor? Have already added the Zenith carb, new dist., new plugs, set valve lash, set timing and changed the oil. May try and adjust (raise) gov. settings to 3000-3200 max loaded speed. Any ideas? There was an old post about turbo...

What do you deuce guys use for lug nuts on the rear when upgrading to super single tires/wheels? We have flipped the hubs on our 5 ton and re-installed the 1400x20 tires with 10x20 bridge truck wheels on the rear axles. Using the "stud nuts" that held the inner duals on, we just bolted-up the...

Anyone know the Bendix/Midland numbers for a 6602 air compressor? The head is starting to leak on mine and I would like to get the parts or new unit before removing it from the truck. Mine uses the water cooled unit, but I wouldn't care if the replacement was air cooled. Our local auto/truck...

We have a M139 bridge truck that a fire department mounted a 3800 gal tank on that we are turning into a water truck for construction. It has the 1400x20 tires and wheels on it that make the overall width greater than 9.5 feet. What is required to mount 1600x20 super singles on this truck...
