    It looks like a 5 ton....

    Its either a LDS or a Mack with the passenger side air cleaner. Look under the hood and see which one it is.

    Any "mechanically unsavvy" owners?

    I have seen quite a few "mechanics" claim to know what they are doing and A) not get "it" right, B) charge out the wazoo while doing this and take forever to do it. Read on here, read the TM's, talk to people on here, try to go and see someone local that has one, and don't use it or count on...

    M816 from AL to AZ

    I moved my M816 from Barstow CA to Aztec NM with a bid from Uship. The guy used a RGN (removable gooseneck) trailer and for 770 miles it was about $1500. Good luck.

    My head's spinning

    filters If you are planning on using it as a daily driver and changing filters regularly, then spin on filters are good and no, there is not a "one stop shop" that I know of. If you are only gonna use it occasionally, then just use the standard cartridge filters,they work fine.

    And the M818 repair questions start...What is this?

    If you have a 900 not an A2 then yes the engine is the same and should have the same solenoid, but I have not worked on them so I am just guessing. The emergency shut down lever does not have a spring return so you have to crawl under the hood to reset it every time you pull it. You can put a...

    And the M818 repair questions start...What is this?

    Follow the fuel line into the IP, in your picture its at the top, right behind the "mystery" sensor. Your emergency stop cable pulls a valve that sits on top of the electric shut off solenoid, the screw they are talking about is in the front of that solenoid. Make sure the wires are hooked up...

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    Are you gonna do rockcrawling or just occasionally offroad it? An ARB locker is way better in the front than a Detroit and lock outs just so you don't have to get out and unlock to steer. Unless you are gonna repower with a high horsepower engine, I would not worry about breaking shafts for...

    Replacement winch cable

    The deuce winch cable is supposed to be 6 x 19 fiber core but not sure if a different type would be better or worse. I know you need a fiber core cable for the clevis end that uses the slug in the middle.

    firewall picture request

    Here is a picture of my firewall. Things I know I am missing: one circuit breaker, turn signal flasher relay box. Anything else? Looks like the white box is my voltage regulator so that means I have a 60 amp alternator right?
