    What vehicle did 12.00 x 20 NDTs come stock on?

    I see them for sale and they may be a good option for replacing the 11.00 x 20s on my 813 but I'd like to see a picture of a dualled truck with the 12s.

    What Army depot is this?

    I don't know, but MD might be Maintenance Depot

    M813 transmission and transfer case fluid

    Spicer probably has a different oil spec'd out than what the military used. I hear if you use that it shifts easier, but I haven't taken the time to find out what it should be. Make sure not to confuse 50W drivetrain oil with 50W engine oil. The drivetrain oils have an anti-foaming agent in...

    Wiring/lights on problem

    Does anyone know what the NSN number is for the push button switch?

    B&M Military Surplus- Altona, NY?

    I bought a winterization kit (personnel heater) from them (that's my only experience with them) and they seem as legit as any other business. Spoke with them on the phone and they were a pleasure to do business with.

    Wiring/lights on problem

    I've never seen the push button switches available. Is there a source? My coworker is jones'n for one for his project

    I need some help with a hub measurement please

    I need to know how far the hub flange at the wheel mounting surface sticks out from the front face of the drum itself. does anyone happen to have a wheel off of their truck that could take a measurement?

    Who makes a Jacobs-type engine brake for the 250 Cummins?

    Just for reference here is an excerpt from the Jacobs 25B installation instructions concerning the use of only 2 jake heads. I'm thinking I will roll the dice and mount 3-4 and 5-6 jake heads since that is the easier option for my M813.

    M809 series 5 ton transfer case issues

    Is the TM talking about end play (fore and aft) or about runout (up and down or side-to-side). Both can be considered "play" but both are in different directions and possibly impacted by different components...

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    Will, these are the aspects that I was trying to recollect from an older post of yours - thanks for responding! For the record I currently do not have a turbo exhaust manifold or a turbo so I do have the flexibility to choose the correct combo. I plan on adding 25B jakes.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Not sure? Where do I find the details? It would a fairly long distance to bring my truck, but I do want to learn more about the event.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got it from TNJ Murray p/n: 7409990-1-B I believe eastern also has the same data plates.

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    Adding slots would make it more flexible but also less secure. What I see when I look at the yellow/red overlap is that any material added to try and grab a 2.5 ton lug bolt (the red inside of the yellow) would prevent the tool from sliding over the 5 ton hub.

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    I would love to get it to fit into a flat rate box. Currently I would have to cut it into pieces for that to work which could be done. Right now it's 22 3/4" tall and 8 5/8" wide. A modular one would be cool where one could change out the rings to fit 2.5 or 5 ton if there is no room to have...

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    Good to hear! Just some helpful tips on using this tool: The foot goes under the brake drum and you'll find 4 of the 10 holes with a heavy chamfer for engaging with the lug nuts to hold it together (you won't need all 10). On a rear axle you'll want to have the axle shaft bolts removed before...

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    The first 3 HubHelpers have sold and I currently only have 1 left from this first production run. It looks like I won't have any more available until April.

    5-ton Ram air

    Steve Saleen did some testing on his S197 mustang ram air hood scoop and they found at 70 mph you see 0.25 psi of boost. For a gas engine each pound of boost is worth 16 HP I think so that's ends up being 4 extra hp - not much. Not sure if it's true but some big cam guys on the commercial side...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I installed a new M816 flood light switch and data plate on my M813 for future off-road lights or light bar. I went at it from the passenger side trying to pop the knockout out and I got stuck in my cab. I couldn't move forward or backward, had the tranny shifter up my jacket, the t-case...

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    I'm to study up on jake brakes and turbos for the small cam NHC 250 and I have 2 questions bundled together here, but i think they're related. 1. What are the differences between the jacobs 25A & 25B compression brake? What I've read so far suggests the 25A is iron? and the 25B has an...
