    My first multifuel?

    That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?

    1968 Mack M123A1C 10 ton Tank Transporter

    What are the other two? Is that a 4-ton Diamond T?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Yes, it's best to have a flex section but it's very difficult to find the room to add it in. FYI, the compressor tubing on my bht3b turbo is 3.5"

    My first multifuel?

    I like it. With a rig like that you'll be able to pull the hub/drum and wheels off all together

    M51 dump truck manufacturer question

    Cool! Now all you need is a rifle rack and a 1950s IHC M1 Garand to put in it 😁

    M809 M54 M35 Cab Roll Cage, Roll Bar

    I've given this idea just a little consideration and haven't gotten beyond the front-of-bed configuration. Anchored to the bed with a frame-to-bed mount on the bottom side of the bed floor in the same location. Personally, I need a 16.00R20s storage rack & crane in my bed so maybe a cage or...

    M-817 Greasing steering knuckle axle joint

    Don't remember exactly but i think it's in the 1/4" - 5/16" range

    M-817 Greasing steering knuckle axle joint

    That one is for the king pin but some of the overflow of grease will make it to the knuckle. For bulk filling remove the Allen head pipe plugs in the front and rear of the knuckle ball about halfway up.

    M813 on obstacle course

    It looked like the truck went from 14.00s to 16.00s so it was still being worked on in the interim

    My M813 gets a turbo!

    -An update on the suppressor paint that I used on the hot parts: When I got the truck out of outdoor winter hibernation I noticed some surface rust on the turbo compressor scroll and on the exhaust port flanges. Most of the rust on the turbo was due to the coolant filter dripping some rusty...

    Where are the "breather holes" that need to be blocked when you turbo a 250?

    In the head it's here: In the rocker box it's here: Mine were already plugged from the factory, I believe (April 1981 engine). I guess if you insert a piece of wire into the rocker box hole and it goes in deeper than the rocker box height than yours are not plugged and the wire would keep...

    M818 Transmission breather leaking air

    my m813 still has a similar issue but maybe on the opposite side of the poppet valve. After reversing into my parking spot the T-case is usually venting air out of its breather cap when I shift from reverse to neutral to park. I have to cycle the shifter to reverse and back to neutral again...

    Water temp gauge erratic when running, steady with engine off

    OK, so I think I found the source of the problem. I wiggled and twisted and made sure the wire connector that plugs into the water manifold sending unit was fully seated and I gave had no more gauge issues. The connector felt fully seated but something in that connection needed some attention.

    M246 in the busted hydraulic hose club

    The dash number is how many sixteenths of an inch the size is. Like a -6 is 6/16ths or 3/8. A -10 is 10/16 or 5/8 and so on...

    Road trip Spokane to Salt Lake City Utah

    Not sure on the route, but Armysurplus Warehouse is in Idaho Falls about an hour north of Salt Lake City and could be a fun stop.
