... It was about time...! You will find much more than that.... :-) Welcome! G.

This style sounds all so familiar..... it's been a long time we didn't hear from this guy... we sure had some fun here...! G.

No, but you will spend more than that, replacing every part (not only the T-Case) if you ever let that motor put out its 1000+ ft-lb of torque! I would even think twice before putting that beast in a M939 series 5-ton. G.

Any signs of the bumper been replaced...? That looks to me as a serious hit on the right/front corner, in the direction of the (white)arrow. Nothing too serious, though; it can be straightened with a bit of work - and the right tools. G.

Yes. This link: http://www.govliquidation.com/pastbidresults, then look for all events named "Demil Q, Industrial, Marine, Vehicular & ....", like #12346 for example. Click on lots $10.000 and up... Or, if you knew the event number, you can always Google it. Or simply this link Govliquidation...

There should be... It's what 73m819 said. Here is the link: TM 9-2320-211-10, read on page 2-84. G.

Thread moved, now that we know what it is... G.

...and what was its date code??? G.

He put the state. That's OK. G.

Welcome! If you really "love" military vehicles - then you ARE infected already with what is called the "Green Iron Disease"! Sure enough you came to the right place; just don't expect to find any cure, here. It's more like the opposite: fever can only get worse...!:-) G.

Oh yes, I would gladly do a test drive there... regardless of what size the cylinders are!:driver: G.

I'm really tempted now to swap my front WC's, for a pair of A3's and see what it does. For a (nose-heavy) winch-truck which runs almost empty most of the time that could be a real upgrade, actually. Someone on here has probably tried this out already...? :wink: G.

I kind of hope that that's what happened... otherwise we have another mystery going on, here... How does it stop when you really step on the pedal? Have you ever locked the rears? ... Or even the front tires?? G.

I would use HMMWV wheels/rims to build your own. There are plenty of the stronger 24-bolt wheels being offered, lately. With only 6.5 inches, the M880 wheel is a bit too narrow for that size tire... G.

Well, how else would you (easily)set the correct timing of the camshaft, if there were no marks on those two gears...? Then, to correctly adjust the IP timing, that's a different story and we don't really need another set of marks, IMHO. It sure does help though, to know that you should NOT be...

This... G.

Agreed. That's what I meant with "almost" identical revs. - when braking normally. I can imagine though, that during extreme braking the loaded radius for the (9.00-20's) fronts would change from say 19" down to 18", maybe. And the rears, from 19.5" to 20". That would explain a 8-10%-difference...

I'm not sure about three... let's see if we can find part numbers somewhere, FWIW. All this info was written 50 or more years ago and has more historical than practical value, IMHO. G.

Assuming the rear wheels don't lock every time you step on the brakes... then all wheels will do (almost) identical number of revolutions during a deceleration from speed X down to speed Y. That, while the pressure applied to every single of all 12 brake shoes is exactly the same. Why should...

I still don't believe that the reason for that much faster wear would be (abnormal)weight distribution- or weight transfer. In this case, who knows if all three axles- or just the rear axle brakes were serviced at that time? Differences in brake lining material- and hardness play a big role...
