    correct color 1976 m880

    I would agree as that was the base color back then. I have one M890 that the cab inside was field drab 30118 and used it as the base when repainted but any NOS parts from that period seem to be forest green. Remember we are all pretty much males on this site and are visual learners, so post...

    Another Newbie with battery issues...Part 2...

    What he said, killed some like that years ago. Besides cleaning all the grounds and connections is when the batteries have a full charge get them load tested. I got some a year ago that were "reconditioned" from a national supplier one of them turned out to be 13% and the other 23%. Also put a...

    24V Battery Charger Questions, who makes a good one?

    Regular 12V battery charger works great, doing one battery. They can stay linked together but only hook the charger to one battery at a time. The NOCO will do all batteries at the same time and if you use the net you can find them cheaper than A Zone. It is also a maintainer.

    Changing caster angle solved problems with G-177 tires

    They really need no adjustments when put on a 5T. My 818 was a rough rider bob tailed and mine came from the military with radials on the front and NDCC's on the back. When I changed it over to all G177's the ride was greatly improved and tire noise was also reduced.

    M818 springs vs m813

    Wheel base is a foot shorter on M818 at 167" where a M813 is 179". My 818 was a rough rider bob tailed and mine came from the military with radials on the front and NDCC's on the back. When I changed it over to all G177's the ride was greatly improved. Tire pressure can also effect the ride and...

    A Big ata boy to davesgmc and motoboy

    Yep it's what his dad and I call him in public, it's more PC than "Dumb A**". He's really a good guy as long as you can see him! Yep Recovry4x4, but no Krystal anywhere out this way and the closest WC is a 3 hour drive in MO.

    How much air do you have in the tires, anything over 20psi makes mine bounce.
