Hi - welcome to the club! I'm extremely biased but I think the M813 is the cat's minge! They're well built and there's good reason the military extended their service life from 20 years to 40 years. 3 things to be aware of: 1. Be careful rolling backwards by pushing in the clutch. If you...

Well thank you sir. I've finally finished my big projects and now I can enjoy it more and work on it less 😁

Lots of adventures this weekend, but I took a detour on my 212 mile round trip to snag a picture of my machine on the Burma Road! I drove up to a killer car show and made an epic entrance by lighting up the jake brakes all the way into the parking area. There was a good turnout at the small...

Looks good. On my M813 brakes I was able to leverage the brake shoe away from the wheel cylinder with a large flat screw driver and then I could pull those push rod things out of the cylinder with no need to remove any springs or keepers.

If the axle were on two jack stands and perfectly level with a flat floor the wheel dolly would work well to do a wheel seal

That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?

What are the other two? Is that a 4-ton Diamond T?

Yes, it's best to have a flex section but it's very difficult to find the room to add it in. FYI, the compressor tubing on my bht3b turbo is 3.5"

Bed mounted roll bar on an M818 with flatbed.

I like it. With a rig like that you'll be able to pull the hub/drum and wheels off all together

Cool! Now all you need is a rifle rack and a 1950s IHC M1 Garand to put in it 😁

I've given this idea just a little consideration and haven't gotten beyond the front-of-bed configuration. Anchored to the bed with a frame-to-bed mount on the bottom side of the bed floor in the same location. Personally, I need a 16.00R20s storage rack & crane in my bed so maybe a cage or...

Awesome! Please post a short startup video if you can. We would love to hear it purr

Don't remember exactly but i think it's in the 1/4" - 5/16" range

That one is for the king pin but some of the overflow of grease will make it to the knuckle. For bulk filling remove the Allen head pipe plugs in the front and rear of the knuckle ball about halfway up.

It looked like the truck went from 14.00s to 16.00s so it was still being worked on in the interim

looks like the same truck is at it again but without a happy ending...

-An update on the suppressor paint that I used on the hot parts: When I got the truck out of outdoor winter hibernation I noticed some surface rust on the turbo compressor scroll and on the exhaust port flanges. Most of the rust on the turbo was due to the coolant filter dripping some rusty...

In the head it's here: In the rocker box it's here: Mine were already plugged from the factory, I believe (April 1981 engine). I guess if you insert a piece of wire into the rocker box hole and it goes in deeper than the rocker box height than yours are not plugged and the wire would keep...

my m813 still has a similar issue but maybe on the opposite side of the poppet valve. After reversing into my parking spot the T-case is usually venting air out of its breather cap when I shift from reverse to neutral to park. I have to cycle the shifter to reverse and back to neutral again...
