Wish I could help you with that... G.

Well, after some more research...: looks like YES indeed, '05-'06 model RG-31 4x4 Cougar, prolly ex-USMC. Compare both pics.... G.

To that I can only comment (from my own experience) that 14.5 radials - on a M35A2 front axle - handle AND wear best if kept at zero toe-in. G.

...what about an angle grinder; maybe a short piece of (rusty)flat stock (to better mark/detect the "high" spots); eventually even a caliper to measure before and after.......? Nothing that would require high-precision machining, really....:smile: G.

Thanks Sandcobra. I know that this way - adding just 2-3 degrees, to end up with a caster of +/- (+)4 - may be a bit on the conservative side, but at least it will NOT alter the stock driveshaft angularity too much. Now, if this relatively simple mod. does the trick... then someone please...

:-? Translation, please...! G.

Lol... for reference you can ask member Sandcobra164, what he did to his, to cure the problem... G.

:ditto: Clint: if this IS a keeper I would gladly contribute with some Spicer18 T-Case upgrading.... done it many times, already...:wink: G.

Anthony: those numbers would be manuf. dates... Look for numbers stamped somewhere like 20x10 or 20x11 (= wheel size), plus a 8x275 (= stud-hole pattern) Also, this seems to be a MPT style rim. So we should look for vehicles coming with tire sizes 335/80R20s (12.5R20) or 365/80R20s (14.5R20)...

Definitely not FMTV or HMMWV......! Looks very similar to Striker LAV, only the striker has 18 bolts, not 16. We will find out! G.

A good working governor will cycle regularly depending air demand/ leaks and make your AP fluctuate somewhere between 120 and 100 psi. Amplitude of cycles will depend on what type of gov. you have. I would consider 90psi as a minimum, and try to adjust accordingly if it goes below that. G.

Can't speak for the those Cummins, but yes, the Multis are... and they all have a neutral balanced FW. Even so, there is one bolt offset; not much, just 2mm or so. Machining flat- not the LDS, but better the LDT FW - could be an option but it will loose about 22 lbs of its mass, just where it...

What you see in there is the outer spindle nut that comes for the (Warn)automatic locking hubs, replacing the factory hex- or 4-slotted nut. Clean it well and try to find a small allen set screw (5/32-32tpi) inside one of the threaded holes. That is what locks that part to the locking washer...

Nope! That's a DANA #30 G.

:ditto:to what NDT said. 2 spindle nuts, hub assy, then the spindle. G.

Hey you both... one day I might drive one of my Deuces back "Home"... to where it originally came from!:) Or NO, wait - there are enough of them there, already. Better try just the opposite....:driver: And... Thanks for the kind words!... but I'm just one of your crew; happy when...

:ditto: And related to that: I have often encountered deformation of the shaft surface, around the keyways; so much that it would not slip out/in, without damaging the soft brass bushings in the drum- and gear end housing. So, once the keys are out, get a fine-grane file and "check" those areas...

Depending which of all dimensions....:) G.

If you mean the LDS 5ton flywheel dimensions?? .... find them in my drawing, below..... G.

Glad to hear that - most likely it is the correct size, 20x11 MPT rim. Always bear in mind... that industrial 20" wheels like the A2's, have a bead flange that is too tall for the MPT tire. Also, diameters d₁and d₂are slightly larger than the MPT's. (diagram, attached...) G.
