    M108 gets overdrive gear

    I haven't really ran the truck without the trailer on it, other than a couple trips around the block(about 8 miles). It gets to speed pretty good then, takes a couple of miles before everything warms up. Then it will do 62 just fine. Figure it will get a good run in october. I will also...

    M108 gets overdrive gear

    Figure I was running about 28,000lbs with the trailer and truck. 50-60mph, couple of 40-45 mph hills. Pyro was 1200 the whole way. I might have come off full throttle twice on the way home. About 65 miles one way. Checked temps when I got home with the heat gun. Hubs were 100-140, rear...

    2011 Haspin information/dates/attendance

    I "think" it was gilbert's truck, but not 100% sure. That hill is STEEP in person, as in can't walk up it.

    deuce filter micron size

    I use a 3512, and 3540. 3540 is a 6 micron, 3512 is 10. I think the secondaries are setup in series, just install the 3512 in the first one, then 3540 in the second.

    Home made 10 ton goosneck using military axles.

    The 5 ton flatbed MV trailers use a smaller 6-bolt tire and rim that will fit a M105. 16.5 tires. But capacity is limited by the smaller tire.

    Findlay parts(2011)

    Don't forget the bent dropside bed! Not related to that incident. Just parts from different trucks.

    Findlay parts(2011)

    Will be bringing the M108 for loading/unloading. Don't forget straps/chains if you are moving anything. Also my 8x14 trailer, to be used as table space. Just the right height. And small tractor and trailer for hauling parts around. Off the top of my head, will add more when I get home...

    First post question about a Mity Mite

    Mighty mite has an air cooled V-4 engine, all aluminum. Almost resembles aircraft engines. Maybe someday mine will run, too many projects ahead of it.

    M38 flat towing

    Short trip just neutral and go. My 46 cj2a was towed to Colorado from Ohio and back every year in 60's. Unhook the driveshafts and go.

    MMmmmm thats purdy

    AHHHH..... Pretty sure the M108 needs a LDS pump, instead of a cranked to the max LD pump....

    Willys Engine Identification

    Just looks like a standard L-134 engine. What year is hard to say, they made them for a long time.

    Deuce air cleaner modifiacation W/LDS engine

    Recently installed a K&N filter on my M108. Already had the pump turned up to 1200deg. With the new filter, I was able to turn the pump up 2 full turns more, and still be at 1200 degrees. Truck now has as much, if not a little more, power than my M35. M35 is also turned up, but with a stock...

    M108 gets overdrive gear

    Heck with pics, it was a marathon of work. Transmission has to be out of truck to remove input shaft, that allows you to remove the counter shaft and change gears. On the stock 5th gear, and .71 gear, you can pull the mainshaft out while in the truck. On the .69 gear, 5th gear on the counter...

    M108 gets overdrive gear

    Bought M35-tom's used overdrive .71 gear set and finally got around to installing it in the M108. Truck now runs 2500 rpm, 62mph, on stock 9.00-20 tires. When I get the 11.00-20's on, top speed will be 68mph, not that I will drive that fast. The top speed gain is really nice. It's also nice...

    Air shift install parts and t-case install.

    Cookie! Good job on fixing the airshift. It is possible to take the air cylinder apart on the truck, including removing the piston. But now you shouldn't have to worry about it. Dennis
