That's a great comparison pic - thanks!

It looks like Borg Warner lists about 20 flavors of HT3B probably with different wheel sizes / cartridges. I came across a listing for a BHT3B that they say is ported for pressure spike reduction that plays nice with non auto-lash jakes. I think I'll look into this one a bit more.

My Hagerty policy says it can be used for pleasure driving in addition to club events & parades, etc. for 2500 miles per year but they don't ask for odometer readings.

Hagerty is insuring my truck that's stored outside in Washington state. They just charge me $60 more per year. I wonder if it's related to concessions they made to Gulfway as part of taking over their coverage because Hagerty also did not require that my daily driver vehicle be less than 10...

Some collectors here in Washington got some and then sold them after realizing they would need overwidth permits to drive them, but I remember someone on this forum that said in Florida you don't need the permits if the truck is for personal use (non-commercial). Bridge trucks look like they...

Aren't there also multiple flavors of HT3B with different sized wheels?

Looks very sharp - well worth the effort!

I want to add a pulse manifold and Schwitzer 4LHR to my stock engined M813 and I can't seem to find any technical info on the various 4LHR models such as 4LHR-733, -743, -773, etc. For you turbo guys out there which one would have the best wheel sizes to accentuate a 290-325 HP level without...

Will, thanks for chiming in with those corrections and other definitions- much appreciated. Looks like they want about $100 apiece for those Auto-Lash adjusters and at 6 per engine that's a premium upcharge just to run a divided entry turbo. Oh well - this is funner than collecting stamps 😁

I think I found the Jacobs document mentioning the replacement of adjusting screws with Auto-Lash adjusters on page 3 (listed under Small Cam III) of the install manual for type 401 jake heads. Do you think this change mentioned for a Small Cam 3 would work on our NHC-250?

This is sad news. Aside from their technical repair skills, their refurbishment/ restoration talents were top notch! I bought a full VIC-1 system from Gary and it is beautiful and flawless. The paint, the lettering, the details were all perfect.

Where do the shavings go when drilling for oil squirters? Into a main oil gallery? Can you flush the shavings out or is the oil filter the next stop for them?

Not that it adds anything to my entry, but fun fact; on this day 3 years ago I bought my M813A1, had it hauled over the mountains and fulfilled a long-time dream of owning my own 5-ton :) Loading the truck Delivery

Here are some upgrades that I've made to my truck that you can't see from the outside:

I also got switched over to Hagerty from Gulfway and the crossover papers listed my truck as being stored indoors so I called them to update some info and tell them I had no enclosure. They said that was fine it would just raise my rate from $274 to $340 per year for my level of coverage here...

I'll submit my 1981 AM General M813A1 again after garnering quite a few votes in the November running.

Member @quarkz (I believe) has a solid green M813A1 with a yellow nose and it looks good!

Dang! That looks sharp! I like the solid green. That was a lot of work but well worth it🙂

Thanks for making the video! That looks like a man's job - did you do all 7 in one day?
