    395/85R20 Goodyears on a 5 ton

    Yea, I found the load range on the 395's was 9300 per tire so if you single out a 5 ton its just over 55,000lbs.

    Recovery of a Wounded Soldier

    Did you guys disconnect the front drive shaft? I would assume when the front is in the air and the rear is turning faster, that the sprauge would kick in and power the front tires?

    Winch, snatch blocks and things that go bump in the night

    Well, if you have one block then you are actually using "two" strands of cable, one to the block and one from the block right? and never run enough cable out to the last layer on the winch, bad things will happen! Edit: thats if you bring the cable back to the winch truck itself.

    What is the best way to tow a M35A2

    I personally think the SAFEST way to tow a deuce is with a trailer capable of holding it ( like some else said, at least 14,000 lbs) and with at least one axle with an electric brake with a brake controller. The truck should be also rated to pull the load. Now with that being said, I know...

    M54 turns over but doesnt start

    Sounds like the intank fuel pump is not pumping. Try pulling it and see if its clogged or stuck. When you pull it, blow some air through the fuel line up to the first filter and see if the line is clogged also.

    M54 turns over but doesnt start

    Is your intank fuel pump working? turn the master switch on and trying cracking the fuel filter and see if you have fuel. once the engine is firing, the IP is pulling the fuel so it looks like you don't have a fuel problem when you might actually have one.

    M54 turns over but doesnt start

    crack the final filters and see if you are getting fuel, then a line on the IP and see if its fueling there, and finaly one of the injectors.
