As I understand it, the 805 can be reconfigured to run single phase. I don't know the specifics, but I believe it looses capacity/output when doing so.

Congrats on the new wheels. I'm in the south east corner of Kansas, if you need anything on the way through.

After an event like that, I imagine that it's going to have to go to the machine shop to be turned anyways, so I would think they could remove it.

Are you just using the throttle pedal, or is the hand throttle not responsive, either?

That one would he awesome to have, but I'm too far away.

I work in Joplin. Live 15 miles west in Galena, KS. Hollar if you need anything.

Eventually, you start making up uses to justify them. Haha. Used mine as a mobile work platform today. I had loaned out my pole saw and needed to clear some limbs. After I get the hydraulics for the bed going, I'll haul some gravel, etc. But mostly it's just a toy to drive around.

The kind that has a 5 ton.

Welcome from Kansas.

If you take a look at the rear suspension setup, you will see what they are talking about. Has a walking beam type of setup. Needs to be converted to a traditional leaf spring and shackle. Typically they shift the axle to line up with the new bed they use, usually off an m105 trailer.

While I have never driven any other style of truck to compare it with, I do enjoy my M51A2. It's not fast. It's not quiet. But fun, just the same.

Welcome.

Welcome

Welcome. There's tons of information and helpful folks here.

My 5 ton has the multifuel and it has a big yellow sticker on one of the fuel filters stating something about "diesel only, fdc has been bypassed". Some brakleen took some of the wording off so you can't read it, or I would have gotten you a picture.

When the FD painted my truck they didn't spray under the hood. That's how I found the numbers on my 5 ton.

Sounds like a solid plan. Only suggestion might be a battery tender to keep batteries healthy.

Nice! I did a parade last week, but the generator for the lights quit just as we started moving out of the staging area. What are you using as a power source?

My understanding is that you can't put m51 sheetmetAL on an m817 because the engine is longer. Unless, I suppose, if they also swapped in the multifuel.
