In regards to weight, balance is what you seek. The deuces and 5 tons are very nose heavy. Check out the pics from the GA Rally. Any 6x6 you see stuck is usually nose down. Considering the weight of a 5 ton, I would look to add about a ton at the back end of the bed right at the tailgate...

Ron's been cheating. His wrecker has an extra 8' of stick over the M816.

I don't know what kind of project you have there but if it involves changing a transfer case, I think Profab can engineer a case for the reverse rotation and can even build under or overdrive gearsets.

Sounds to me like it's sucking air from somewhere.

The 6.2 is a fine engine for what it was meant to do. It's a low powered engine comparible to a gas 305. if driven sensibly it's a fuel miser. I have nothing but 6.2 powered stuff. All the internet quarterbacks are quick to dismiss the 6.2 and that keeps the prices lower. Also, I would concur...

Power isn't the answer. Add weight to the aft portion of the bed and dump some (lots) of tire pressure. That truck empty has no suspension and will beat the snot out of itself.

M211

Dirt71 did his. Haven't seen much of David lately but some searching of his previous posts should yield some info. Edit; pics here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?28047-A3-Rims-finally-mounted!!!!!&highlight=

The GA Rally started as a get together in one members back yard. The next year it was held at a state park but we had folks camping in a few different areas. The search for a better venue turned up Durhamtown Plantation where the rally has been held since 2008. It's turned into a pretty large...

You would need to determine how much sag the rear has to determine what lift is needed to level it out. If you plan on doing a lift kit anyways, Install that first to get your measurement. New front lift springs will sag a bit as they settle in!

I've successfully removed a few slash pine trees/ stumps with the deuce. Unless it's a minimal tree, the deuce doesn't have enough drawbar pull to bring it out. I obtained my success by using either a 2 or 3 part line and anchoring the truck low to another tree. Lots of moaning and creaking...

Yeah, missing parts can do that. What failed in the original hubs to warrant replacement?

Ray, when you go to GA do you take I-95? I went up I-75 this year and the hills sucked. I'm sticking with 95 from now on.

I live in the United States too! Want me to go check them out? (Sarcasm of course). You will need to change that "United States" to one of the 50 states as the forum rules you agreed to, require this.

I run all my 6.2s a little higher on idle. Low idle will rattle the filaments out of the headlights.

I can't speak intellegently for the 939 series but in most TMs, the wiring and air schematics are listed in one of the appendices.

One of these days, I have to schedule a tour of that trailer. Been up close to it many times, never seen the innards!

My post rally thanks list goes far and wide and I'll certainly forget some folks. I spend almost all of my time at the corner of campground and vendor field doing my quirky, self appointed registration tasks. This was the first rally in years where I could just get up and walk away and the...

Be advised, on most (I've seen to the contrary) the inner shaft between the axles has smaller yokes and u-joints despite the fact that they bolt right up.

Final count for powered vehicles was 109. Had a great time. Had one issue on the M1010 half was home. Got off for fuel and when I got back on the highway, the truck peaked out at 51 mph the dropped to 39. Limped down the shoulder to the next exit and got off. Always check the fuel filter...
