I noticed my M813 had a long throw - not as far as yours but it tightened up a bit when I put a different shifter in because the original shaped spring retainer thing was chipped and cracked. If I were to force my shifter to hit the dash it would crack this part open. The part is sandwiched...

More progress! Baby steps, but still progress. I got the oil line relocated which was involved and was something I've been not wanting to do. A 9/16" holesaw wobbled it's way to a perfect 5/8" hole and the hard line under the dash was soft enough to bend by hand to it's new shape. I was able...

@MyothersanM1 thanks for posting up the article and those pics - very cool! It's too bad the rig was dismantled; I was starting to daydream about abandoned giant trucks in the desert that needed rescuing...

The relay tucked up real nice between the heater duct hoses and the firewall. I removed a 1" knock out which is in the perfect place behind the rotary switch and just to the right of the jake heads where the wires will connect. It looks like the oil gauge supply line will have to move over to...

You might find this video helpful. When I get to that point I will probably try his method along with other tricks I've read about on the forums:

OK, now that my jake brakes have arrived I'm once again making forward progress on the wiring between the grenade and the brakes; particularly the relay that the grenade activates. I'm using a type 191 five prong 12 volt relay and wiring it to be ground triggered as shown in this diagram: The...

Thanks for taking that extra picture - much appreciated! It sounds like the HT3B is a divided entry turbo and installing it on an engine that formerly had a single entry turbo without modifying the jake brakes is no bueno. Will Wagner has explained more about it in this post (among...

Looking good Artisan! I like your attention to detail and the clean routing of the harness. For the curious, like myself, could you please post a close up picture of that Jake brake warning label on your rear valve cover? I'd like to know what it warns about.

I've seen the truetrac available for a Dana 70HD - a little bigger than a humvee but I haven't searched for anything bigger.

Someday I hope the ARB air locker group buy gets off the ground again with enough interest to start production.

It will be top-heavy so one has to be careful. What's nice about the floor jack aside from hydraulic advantage is that it can be lowered to get the center of gravity closer to the ground. The round loop on the top allows a chain fall or cherry picker to be used from above, but the hub would...

I saw some other pictures that showed it hauling a portable ICBM launcher.

Would one leave it stock or bob it and put an M105 trailer bed on it? ;) hehehe

I thought the Army and Marines had big trucks like the M125 or M911 but it looks like the air force puts them all to shame with their '79 Terex MX 8x8...

I'm missing 3 oil supply screws (p/n 199225) and I cut off 3 of those special stud nuts that were rusted on. Does anyone have any extra of these they don't need anymore?

Maybe a pre-2007 C15...

My search for 425A Jakes for a decent price proved fruitless so I ordered a 25B kit and it just arrived today!

Isn't the N-14 the last iteration of the 855 engine? It seems like if that's true, a swap should be kinda straight forward right? Are they way more spendy than a Big Cam?

I'm wondering if this 1500° Duracoat might work. The OD green color looks close and if it's good enough for suppressors and machine gun barrels it should hold up. https://www.duracoatfirearmfinishes.com/products/duraheat-2-0-high-temperature-coating?variant=40632469193

Did this coating have a name or any other identifier?
