    New Ride

    it’s between the engine/transmission and seems to have spread evenly left and right of center. The main drip is almost directly above the driveshaft, dropping square on the Ujoint. I can’t tell if it’s the oil pan gasket, or actually is coming from between the engine/tranny. That would likely...

    Spoon’s build thread

    It just popped into my head. I’m planning to build a rollback bed and that’ll need hydraulics. A hydraulic winch makes total sense! Now to start the research. Cheers, 🥄

    Can old style tanks still be had?

    Surging, stumble and stall

    The late fuel tank will not fit with the driveshaft mounted parking brake.

    ...I would go for hydraulic. It delivers the power/duty cycle, as well as excellent control and overload protection. Hydraulic lines/hoses are also easier to route than a driveshaft. They figured that out for the M35A3 w/w and also for the Canadian built Deuces with a Pullmaster hydraulic winch.

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    Yeah makes sense although there are several 5 tons being auctioned at this location and most have/had driveshafts disconnected so not too sure.

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    ...in these trucks (you'll kill the alt which will cost you several grand). Given that you got your paper and seeing those batteries and driveshaft (not being "forked"), I would say that it came from a 3rd party yard (and not government). Shipping is nuts currently (like +$7/mile in a lot of...

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    Short answer: no The "driveline" issues that the 4x4 A0 trucks experience is mostly due to the steep downward angle of the rear driveshaft. The 6x6 trucks do not suffer from this design flaw as they kept the driveshafts straight (via an offset for the input at the pumpkin). Later A1R trucks...

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    yeah valid point although I did submit EUC paperwork last week but still really quick from what I have seen. And yes I did see the yoke chipped so expecting to add some metal there and maybe retap those threads, doesn’t seem like a big deal and for the batteries, I did see the two standard batts...

    One day EUC turnaround? Tells me no paperwork went to DLA. Tells me your truck is a flip. You did see the chewed up driveshaft yoke right? And the battery box mess?

    M1008 Build

    Yeah, definitely need to extend the driveshaft about 4 inches.

    ...is perfect. Beside from the fact that I lifted the truck 4 inches and moved the axle forward an inch. So other than that, the front driveshaft is back together in it’s stock form, with all new u joints and cv joint. I’m sure I’ll have to lengthen it a bit for full functionality, but fitting...

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    Could you possibly give me the length of the spacer between the pipe bracket and the truck body? Looks about an 1-1/4" to 1-1/2". Thanks.

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    ...(if the original exhaust was included). The spacers on my truck were missing even though the exhaust was still attached. It caused my driveshaft to rub the exhaust heat shield underneath. See my post in ...

    The upgrade variants of the M916 NTC400 trucks

    ...4.5in below the frame top. Requires drilling 8 holes. 4 per side. Using 1 existing hole already in the frame thru the winch mounts. Using a 5-324x joint on the transmission side with the caps from a 5-676x swapped onto the 324x. Shorten rear driveshaft 8inches. Front shaft is 9inches longer.

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    I will post this information in case it might be helpful to anyone else. The part number of the bearing they sent as a replacement was 3130-01-203-9870 and that is indeed what I needed. After receiving the correct carrier bearing, I found the instructions at this link were not quite workable...
