My soft top threads also came loose and I just finished restitching it yesterday with a heavy duty synthetic thread using a single thread saddle stitch. Four passes through vinyl and plastic used up more needles than a homeless camp and completely wore out my finger tips. I stopped counting...

On the topic of coolant, does it have life span in the vehicle? I have no idea how old mine is (as old as the trucks last military service possibly) but if I drain it and strain it and if it tests out to provide enough freezing protection can it just be reused? Does it break down over time and...

http://www.livesteammodels.co.uk/dhmg/icoms4.html This site has a good rundown on all the models.

I believe all the H-161 headsets (A thru G) work with the vic-1 boxes. I have both H-161 E/U and H-161F/U and only my F models have the newer bail out connector.

That does not sound like a good experience. Holes in the sidewall is not a feature I would want in my tires...

Good point on the dates codes. I see that Specialty Tire of America lists 3 different models of 12.00 x 20 in their current product list so maybe new manufacture tires can be had (versus NOS)? I imagine they only produce so many batches per year.

They have good prices and had a good selection, but exposure to all that Tuscon sunshine can't be doing their tires any favors. They have a sea of tires as you can see: Has anyone bought tires there or otherwise done business with them?

Cool, thanks for the info! The M246s look pretty stout sitting on those tires.

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.

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

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...

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

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.

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

Awesome...you even have a sweet diagram for it! Thanks a ton

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.
