Interested in finding a good source for the M813. There is a place in RI where you can get custom wiring harnesses made. Someone I know that one made for his hot rod. The price was good and the quality was great. I will have to do some homework, but I still want to find another source

Oh Man! That doesn't sound good. Check your fluids first! Oil in the coolant, coolant in the oil, metal in the oil, coolant seeping out of the head on the outside of the motor, check your air cleaner, intake hoses and fuel inlines too. Going to need more info. Let me know what you find.

I will try to make most of the MV events this year Vtdeucedriver. I just put my camo cargo cover on the M813. She is ready! crazywelder72 the museum of transportation has lots of great events for all types of vehicles. European motorcycle day is a must! It would be too small for a MV show.

If you are comparing a stock Cummins 250 to a stock 6bt I don't see the 6bt being more powerful? If you are comparing a modified Cummins 855 to a modified 6bt. That is a different story. A modified 855 can be built up and still last. I am not sure a about the life span of a modified 6bt.

Sounds like a great project. You can just move your front axle back 10 inch and keep the cummins. Less work and more power! I have grown to like the 5 ton fenders. Good luck and let me know if I can help

Well! It is never, just that easy!:)

There is a thread for Northeast MV shows or Check the COMVEC site. I believe that stands for Connecticut Military Vehicle club. Comvec has a calenders of shows in our area. The Chester Conn. show is always great! Also check out Merrimack valley on Facebook too.

Maybe it is a deuce with 5 ton running gear? we can always move our front axles back to the center of the wheel wells. The cummins motor doesn't need the sump in the back. It can be any place. Moving the wheels would kill the approach angle. A ten ton has the front wheels centered too.

I am up for coffee sometime. I am currently getting the truck ready for the long run too the Sussex show. I will probable set up as a vender at the Merrimack valley swap. I am planning on installing a second tank for WMO or other Alternative fuels.

I haven't given up hope on the truck or the girl. They will just need a little more attention! :beer:

Where is a old saying " if it has tits or tires. It will give you trouble"

Well guys. I haven't heard from the blonde. I guess that would have been to perfect! The guy that owns the Wrecker Would part with it either. :( Oh well!

Seano11 I have pictures of the light bar and the brackets I modified in my photo albums. I have decided not to build any locking hubs. After much research I found the best and cheapest way is too have red Baron mill out a set of blanks and keep my originals for off road. It only take a few...

Hey Fabiodriver welcome to the neighborhood. I work as a heavy truck mechanic in Easton and drive my M813 all around this area. It looks like there are lots of MV guys in our neck of the woods too. [thumbzup]I run 10% WMO in my M813. I don't worry about them dipping my tank. I will just tell...

Nice work!

I have seen something just like that. It was used to keep birds of prey from building nests on the power lines. Maybe the military was have trouble with eagle burning their talons on exhaust stacks. rofl

Thanks RRworker. I am glad I could help. You idea sounds good too! The air bag trick would be easy enough for me to do, so I may just do it and see how it works!

I am confused about floridainson's post. Can you explain that last post with more detail?

RRworker I wish you luck. A deuce turns better than a five ton. My suggestion was not meant to Hijack this thread. I was just thinking outside the box. this set-up would just be for slow tight turns. I will continue this discuss on it's own thread.

Driver I would like to see those pictures. I will put the vic in my truck, I am just not sure if I want to give up my bench seat. Anyone have pictures of how they would be set up. Are there any special brackets?
