    tire bolts not coming off

    Go to eBay and type it in. It is on YouTube too! No more jumping on the lug wrench, just twist the crank. It is called a gear reduction lug wrench. It braces it's self against the hub. It will break off a wheel stud if you go the wrong way! Best tool I ever bought.

    Aftermarket Multifuel Turbo?

    Sandcobra164 it sounds like a strong theory. 1600's definitely highlight any issues that your motor is having. You may have clogged injectors, clogged filters or even crap in the tank.

    I like the shift knob idea! I have found a screw driver, nail clippers and some fired brass in my M813. The mice will leave chocolate sprinkles in the cab once and a while too.

    Retrofit Meritor Q series brakes onto 5 ton toploaders

    We could also buy a new civilian truck too, but that would be NO FUN! If you have the parts and the time, then it is pure fun! That is what makes this hobby so addicting and what is more American then making a bad ass truck even better?
