    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I ordered a Turbocator from the same website that other mambers ordered their's from back in May and have yet to receive it. It is listed as 'in stock' and isn't backordered or anything. They haven't returned any of my calls or texts (I can't remember if I ever emailed them). I guess I can't...

    What tire pressure for 1600s on an M818?

    I have 15.5's on my M818 (w/ deuce bed) and I run 70+ in the fronts and 60+ in the rears if I am going to be hauling any kind of weight. Normally I run 40 and 35 b/c it takes so long to fill to 70. I'm not sure if it makes a difference in ride quality though, but in 5 ton every little bit...

    Deuce Seating Position

    My 5 ton pedals were much taller than my deuce's which caused me to have the same problem: the steering wheel is in the way of my clutchin' knee forcing me to move my knee between the wheel and the door. The pedals I think have 3 notches in them allowing maybe two inches of adjustment. I...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I assume that by now you have solved your hood clearance issue. If you are still stuck, I would recommend rotating the compressor end of your turbo toward the engine then using a 45* silicone elbow. That is how I solved the same problem. I am not sure what you are getting at with your hot...

    Since when did the US use these?...........

    That would be way better than a CUCV II since it has a 5.9L in it. It it is real, then it probably wouldn't have the 5 or 6 speed which sucks a little. But I guess I would still take it!

    2011 Haspin Micro Rally ???

    I found out today that the commitment that I had on Saturday has been postponed. So I am back to being 100% down to do a little trail riding this weekend. Is this for sure still happening??

    2 M1009s from Shelby

    I am pretty happy with mine as well. I have no idea how they were able to get so much dust in it though. In the Navy we have "Sweepers" and "Field Day" and some other cleaning programs in place to keep things clean. I guess the Army doesn't have anything like that. The body is in good shape...

    Lizard Lick

    I hate reality TV! That is why I don't watch very much television and why I don't spend money on cable/satellite. Almost every other show on television is a reality show and I can't stand it. Thank goodness that I have this hobby to keep me busy and away from the TV!

    5tons

    I don't know what it is about the deuce but I thought the same thing. I hadn't driven mine on the road since I got my M818 until one day I did and I was shocked at the differences. The M35 shifts a lot easier/smoother than the M818, I think the throws are even shorter. My deuce downshifts way...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I hadn't thought about going remote. I like your ideas but they do sound like a bit more money than I was wanting to spend. In fact I couldn't believe how much adding the turbo as it is now cost me. I thought that since I got the turbo and exhaust manifold for only $200 that I wouldn't be in...

    Yeah, I checked the website before I posted (I figured that it was kind of like "Using the Search Feature"). Maybe we should call.

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    Turbo Drain Connection Let me know if you can't figure everything out from this picture, I can take others. Mine had a 3/4" NPT (I think, but maybe 1") plug in that hole . I removed it and installed a hose barb for 1" hose. The hose is a 7/8" wire reinforced hydraulic hose. My turbo had a ~7/8"...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    The turbo/exhaust manifold combo that I bought wasn't going to fit any other way otherwise I would have gone with normal configuration. My way seems less desirable since the exhaust is routed in a complex manner and that the air flow at speed blows the heat from the turbine side to the...

    2011 Haspin Micro Rally ???

    I was reminded by my wife that I do already have a commitment on the 3rd. It's not until 2:00pm and maybe I could be late. So, if we could go Friday night, do a little trail riding, camp that night and trail ride Saturday it would work best for me. Anyone else like that idea? Also, my...

    Eliminate M813 muffler?

    Remove muffler. Install turbo. Easy, right?

    2011 Haspin Micro Rally ???

    I was not planning on bringing the shelter for just a couple of days. It's kind of a pain to work with; it's nice to stay in though. I was thinking more along the lines of either a cargo cover or a tent.

    Oliver 2150 with multifuel

    Who made the engine on that 2150? TractorData says that "Oliver-Hercules" made the engines for the 2150. Is that just their way of saying that it was a Hercules LD(S/T) made to Oliver's specs?
