    Need to haul heavy load in central WA; anybody wanting to help?

    I drove up to the ski hill last weekend and saw a nice looking M923 or M925 about a mile up Halverson canyon road. I don't know who it is (maybe one of you guys?) but he has a big 6x6...

    Are you moving up to an M60A3?

    M800 series lube?

    When I finally drain my tranny I'll probably use what Spicer recommends for it. The military wanted a common oil between gear cases & axles but heavy weight GO (gear oil) may not perform as well in the tranny compared to say a 50 wt drivetrain oil.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I put the fuel tank stencil on positioned so I could paint the letters with all one color. The 4-row of text version would have missed the tank strap i think.

    Dang, that sucks. If you feel like rolling the dice, Cummins has their new Advanced Combat Engine out on the market...(1000 HP, 14.3L) Cummins ACE

    At first glance that lamp pole looks like dual stacks!

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    As far as I know. I haven't had the pump apart to see what button is in it and the adjustment screw is still blocked by the metal ball... The only engine mods I've done were the Jake brakes and the dual fuel upgrade.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    I took my truck out for a Sunday drive and got to see how hot it runs. Running empty, steady cruise on flat roads was under 600°F and downhill/idle cooled to about 300°F. Going up moderate hills in 4th at 40mph got the needle up to 1000°F pretty quick and it stopped moving there. Seeing how...

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Is this truck sort of a holy grail of 10 tons? Did the PO know what they had? On another note it would look good with a piece of towed Artillery behind it....

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    My truck has two air filters because I'm planning to install a turbo in the near future and that turbo sits in the spot where the heater should be. Because the heater will have to be relocated to the driver side I decided to give myself a challenge and put the heater in the driver side air...

    How do I mount an M60 on my 1919 mount on my mule?

    Not sure if this is the same but it's an M60 on a mule that I saw at a show:

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    I got some paint mask stencils from Rick Larson and added the old unit ID numbers to the front bumper using 3" tall characters.

    3 Jake heads under a stock M809 hood!!!

    Finally got a short video of the jake brakes in action on both LO and HI. This was in 5th gear between 40-45 mph.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    Today I drilled and tapped the stock manifold and installed the temp probe. The interrupted thread NPT tap (the black one) made easy work of the cast iron and it all went off without a hitch. The wiring is hooked up and I connected power to the gauge - now all that is left is taking it for a...
