    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finally got the 5-ton fifth wheel plate out of the back of my 813 and onto the US6x4...only took a little over a year. This will get mounted to the Studebaker until an original can be found. This had the same NSN # as an M818 fifth wheel (which is almost identical to the original) but it...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Amer-team & JEB, do you plan on presenting the other cases of precedent from the other states that have legalized HMMWVs and relaxed the laws on other MVs? Wisconsin comes to mind but there are a few others talked about in the politics section and those successful cases might hold some sway...

    Trick, functional jake brake grenade shifter

    Post 9-11, I assume? Did they want proof it was a dummy or ask for it to be removed? Was the guy with the rubber gloves extra thorough?

    M818 PTO seals and boots replacment

    I hear that shifting should be smoother and easier after replacing the heavy military GO stuff with the proper 50W oil.

    M818 PTO seals and boots replacment

    Great detail in your write-up! This will be a big help to folks like myself. Where did you end up sourcing the rubber boots or are they generic non-NSN type parts?

    some what imbarrased with this question how do you turn the park light on a five ton

    If your truck has this switch you need to have this combo of levers: headlights on and then second handle set to park. If you have the pushbutton keypad switch I have no idea...

    The Soldier B HubHelper for 2.5 ton trucks

    Well, I really didn't intend for the thread to be a "sales thread" but there are a post or two that are "sales" related, I guess. I better read through the site rules again. The challenge is to get the information that people want in the place where the discussion is happening.

    The Soldier B HubHelper for 2.5 ton trucks

    Edit: removed "sales" related update.

    Introducing the Soldier B HubHelper!!

    Update: after almost all the units have shipped out and the dust has settled I currently have 2 HubHelpers available that have not been spoken for. I previously thought they were all sold, but I miscounted. I have (1) 2.5 ton yellow HubHelper and (1) 2-piece 5-ton yellow HubHelper. Please...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Just a little detail; I added the hearing protection warning decal from Big Mike's back onto the dash after the old one got removed. Didn't quite fit between the switch and glove box door like I wanted but it looks good here.

    M818 PTO seals and boots replacment

    This is good stuff! I need to do exactly this to mine as I my PTO leaves more drips on the ground than a college campus crying closet. Are you using a gasket for the new cover or straight glue?

    Looking for the little OD caps for intercom system plugs not being used

    Did you ever find the caps you needed? I need to keep some for my own intercom but I could spare you 4 of them. If you're interested, PM me when you get a chance.

    M35A2 cabin heater

    I have these 2 pieces that are brand new - remo6from my NOS M35 winterization kit. They're off of the heater box that mounts under the hood. PM me if you're interested in either or both of them.

    M35A2 cabin heater

    That back panel is removable on mine as well and it's currently removed from mine. I'll take a picture when I get home tonight.

    M35A2 cabin heater

    Is it this flange here with the large circular opening or the part that attaches here and necks down? If so I have both pieces that I am not using.

    Trick, functional jake brake grenade shifter

    Thanks for the compliments fellas - I appreciate it! I had briefly thought about making these to sell and a few people have brought that idea up, but there is so much involved that it would not be practical - it would have to be a labor of love. My machinist says there's about $300 worth of...
