    M813 Recovery Problem! Help

    Sounds like you might have some junk clogging up the fuel pickup in the tank. When you blow it out with air, the junk moves away from the pickup for a little while til it clogs back up again. Put the aux tank in the bed and run a temp fuel line to the filter, prime the line and run it home til...

    I had talked to Chris already and volunteered to help with the classifieds any way I can. Its a pet peeve of mine to see some things in there that should not be.

    multifuel cab heater question

    First of all, if you want to sell it, I need some parts. Second - Pro's - don't need to wait til the engine warms up for hot air/defrost, no separate fuel tank - it should draw off of one of the main tanks. Cons - little more complicated, more parts and stuff to go wrong. Basically it has...

    m813 over the road reliability

    Reliable? Yes for a 40+ year old trucks. You are not gonna find any better gears for these axles. As said above, 53" tires will suck the power out of your Cummins. Also think about braking at those speeds, these trucks do not have anti lock brakes or discs either.

    cummins swap assistance

    MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE THEN MEASURE AGAIN!!! Don't cut anything unless you are positive you need to cut it. Are you keeping the transmission or swapping in a different one? Check out mudguppy's thread on here about his swap.

    Data plates

    I need a bunch of plates for my wrecker but I am hesitant to buy from someone who has less than stellar reputation on here. I see that he was on site at 9 am today.

    It might be a little slow in a deuce, but I think it would pull fine.

    Can I use an XM1061E1 trailer to haul a vehicle?

    Yep, that is the perfect military trailer, I think. I have tried to get one of those to haul my rock crawler for awhile now. I think they will do just fine as long as your vehicle is under 19' wheel base! :grin:

    250 Cummins manual shutoff!

    I bought the manual shut off valve from Boyce a year or so ago, wasn't cheap though. You could probably reposition the electric valve up a little to provide better access by adding some tubing.

    5-Ton parts?

    The M39 series of 5 ton trucks share the cab with the M35A2 so most of those parts will swap over. The 5 ton multi fuel engine (LDS) is basically the same as the M35A2 multi fuel so alot of parts will interchange also. Axles and brakes are different. There are many many M35A2 parts out there...

    towing info for the bigger trucks

    One thing to think about with the 1.5" to 1" adapters - not just reducing the inside diameter of the hole but checking on the "thiickness" of the feet so the holes line up. I am talking about the bottom part that sits on the bumper. I think on the larger feet, that area is bigger so the holes...
