    Synchromesh manual trans fluid

    the synchromesh is expensive. it is meant to transmissions that are designed for it. I wouldn't spend the extra $$$$ for something that won't do any extra good. How long has the military ran the basic stuff??? it works for them

    Extra Fuel Tank

    Ok i see what you did there. The fuel selector switch is a good way to go, it is a few more parts and a bit more effort. But i think it is one of the best ways to do it.

    Extra Fuel Tank

    I thought you were supposed to leave the sleave in the tank to fuel it. IT would act as a strainer and prevent large objects from falling in?

    Extra Fuel Tank

    Yes something like that. Can you go into detail on how you did it? I was thinking of doing something like the M52 trucks have. Using the existing lift pump in the secondary tank and just pushing a button or a switch to transfer fuel to the existing tank.

    Extra Fuel Tank

    What about putting a fuel tank where the spare tire is now? Can't you get one from another duece and mount it on the other side of the truck?

    W/W or W/o W

    If you are going to get a tractor and use it for off roading, it might be better to get some weight over the rear axles. That 5th wheel plate does not weight as much as a cargo bed does. without any weight you don't have traction and your tires will just spin. Also if you go for super...

    m818 14 x 20 spare tire mounting?

    I put my spare on the decking in front of the 5th wheel. I cheated a bit and used a backhoe. The 900 series trucks have a chain block setup to lift the tire and wheel up. You could make something similar to the 900 series mount to help lift it.

    NHC 250 BLOCK with PISTON COOLERS??

    Can I use the turbo from a 400 or will it produce too much boost? I still didn't get a chance to get the parts from the engine. I am thinking it might be an m915 engine. I was going to get the jakes and the turbo setup for my 250. I understand the hood clearence issue, I am also concerned if...

    m-51 winch work on m814?

    ok the frame brackets and the winches are the same. the PTO should fit and work the same. Your drive shaft is different. the M814 would need a longer drive shaft then the M51 has because of the motor length difference. but the other parts should be the same. If you are getting it cheap I...

    H2 Wheel questions

    I have a set of the older H2 rims. they are 8 lug they are the same bolt pattern. You have to machine the center hole to make it larger to fit over the hubs. The wheels and tires will stick out a bit further. A set of fender flares will take care of that issue.
