    Spare tire holder for 395/85r20 tires

    I'm in this situation as well with my M915A1. The largest issue is trailer clearance when making tight turns.

    Tires out of Red River Army depot (Hooks, TX)

    The tires are usually a mixed batch from my experience, most 11x20 NDTs I get are 80%+ some with water inside. I've seen batches like 98G described too. You're doing yourself a favor trying to scope them out first but they will not unstack them for you for inspection.

    M923A2 - Loss of Power While Driving

    Starting off simple here...have you changed your fuel filters? It's possible gunk could have clogged your filters and settled when the truck sits only to be stirred back up and clog again.

    M915A1 Info

    I just did the same and will turn 65mph at 1800~rpm with the 395s. It's an excellent upgrade for these trucks.

    Will a M101 cover fit a M116?

    If timntrucks is correct I'll trade you a good green 105 cover for your 101 cover. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?139940-WTT-M105-Cover-for-M101-Cover

    M989A1 from Deridder LA to Tucson AZ, or store it in LA

    Even ride it down a hill all the way home? :razz:

    M989A1 from Deridder LA to Tucson AZ, or store it in LA

    I highly encourage you not to triple up. Rolling 33K lbs in tow + tires and gear (more than double the rated tow rating) on crappy Louisiana highway is a disaster waiting to happen not to mention legal issues here in Texas. I did this for an emergency pull before for 104 miles and wouldn't do it...

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    M915 has a 2" kingpin that accepts 2.5" kingpin so it still works. :wink: Edit: corrected w/ source.

    how hard do you drive it

    1. Because you've never cleaned your toaster before, lol. 2. 7400 lbs + 5900 lbs = 13300 total lbs so close to a deuce 3. Doing final checks before painting my m1008 tomorrow if murphy stays away.

    how hard do you drive it

    I'm running 37s on my M1028 and cruse about 60 mph getting 18 highway/16-ish city. I have a ton of tools in the back (literally), I ran across the scales at 7400 lbs without me in it. I did flat tow a M1008 behind it for 120 miles at 55 mph and got 14 mpg. As I look at it I weigh as much as a...

    M200A1 - Landing Leg Identification

    Thanks for the directions. I got it apart quite easily, the gears are nearly perfect and the grease was still good. I have it soaking in a penetrating solution so I'll take a crack at it in a few days.

    M200A1 - Landing Leg Identification

    I've pulled out the TM 9-2330-205-14 which covers the trailer and the landing leg disassembly/reassembly but my leg is not the one pictured (square vs circular). I need to identify and break this unit down to see why it isn't cranking right. The leg is fully retracted and the grease was good, I...

    Air line size for towing?

    Buy a standard set of the coiled red and blue air lines on semi trucks and 4 glad hands. Works like a charm, I've been using mine for years. Find them on flebay, amazon, etc. Just the first one I came across.. http://tinyurl.com/klm4l8e

    Which is best, SF97 or State Certificate of Title? In TX

    I'm going through the "state certificate of title" process right now to see how it works. So far by who I've spoken with at GP is they do exactly what you'd do with your SF-97 here in texas but they do it in Florida instead. Since GP already charged me sales tax on the invoice then you should...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm going to jump on the "20 ton" thread with my now called M915A1E1. Installed 395s, GSS Air-Ride seats, and A/C kit. Next is spare tire caddy expansion and MRAP storage boxes. :jumpin:

    M1028 - Wiper makes GPs Toggle

    I've only recently had this issue which boggles me. My m1028's GPs will toggle sporadically when my wipers are on. It's seems to act up mostly when it's raining (though possibly just the time I'd use the wipers most) but still sometimes when it's dry out. If I let the truck idle until warm with...
