Speaking of belts, I've been thinking about going to a banded v-belt instead of a matched pair of singles when I replace my belts again. According to the marketing peoples they're supposed to be better but they could suck to install.

The pioneer tool rack gets populated like this.

To circle back on this blow out i had awhile back, I found the hose on the water manifold to be fully plugged with solid rusty sludge for the 5" of hose closest to the surge tank. I'm thinking this has something to do with the pressure finding a messy way to relieve itself. This was the...

Ok, I'm picking up what you're laying down. My calipers say the new studs match the parttarget.com nominal dimensions for what my NSN should be. The studs (and not just one) must have been replaced before my truck was CARC'd in 2001 because they're painted on the front but are still fresh...

I got some replacement wheel studs (p/n 7409554) for the left rear axle of my M813 from Erik's Military and they're about 1/4" shorter than the originals. Other sites list this same p/n for both the front & rear but they look like maybe they're fronts only? Can I run 2 of the 10 studs 1/4" short?

What an incredible stash of cool stuff. Do they only sell equipment that works or do you not know what your getting?

Wearing a hernia belt while wrestling with those maybe isn't a bad idea...I'll get there someday. The lugs look clean and crisp - are they new (100% tread) ?

Those look amazing! They're twice as wide as the originals 😁

I had similar doubts about their water tightness but now I guess I'm partially following the fording setup. The barbs stopped the seeping at the fill plug but the the middle axle pinion is still leaking pretty bad and I replaced that gasket a year and a half ago. Guess I should have used glue...

I got tired of gear oil seeping out of fill plugs and chunks so I replaced the stock air vents on my M813 axles with brass hose barbs, connected them together with 1/4" hose and tee's and ran the hose up to the breather manifold (but not terminated there yet). The rear axle actually puffed out...

May not relate exactly to a medium/heavy duty setup but those same symptoms happened to my '75 Ford F-250 when 1 of the 3 fingers on the pressure plate that the throw out bearing engages broke off.

I've heard of this happening when the system wasn't able to release pressure via the vent line that exhausts through the front rh side glad hand. The issue i heard of had the hard vent line pinched somewhere near the wheel well. That's something to check on...

I actually drove mine for the first time in 4+ months! Checked the fluids and tires, the engine fired off in about 4 twists, and then cruised down to the truck stop for diesel. Almost scared some bicycles off the road when exercising the jakes. The truck got some stares, some salutes, some...

For now I only drive my truck for fun and maybe put on 200 miles in a year. I wear H-161 headsets while I'm driving so that would seal out a lot of noise.

My 11.00-20 NDT gave out in the same area because the flap was rotted and cracked which let the tube below get pinched into the crack and torn. Would leak 25 psi/hr so I got a new tube & new flap and that became my spare.

Here in Washington state unmuffled jake brakes are no bueno but the big rigs don't pay much attention to those kinda rules so that wouldn't be a deal breaker on going straight pipe for me either.

For those that have added a turbo and left it straight piped do you have any regrets about the noise level or is it not too bad? For those that have added a turbo and left a muffler on it do you think it's too quiet? I'm mainly concerned about 809 trucks with the stack beside the windshield...

I like it! A backup camera and a forward looking trip camera would be cool. How would it communicate with analog sensors on the engine or would it need different sensors to function?

Now before you get a McCarthyist twitch in your eye lids at the thought of communist parts on US machines I'm just talking about inanimate rings of rubber and besides, some Finnish howitzers look to wear the same tires. Russia has some knarly terrain and these seem to work well for them. One...

What about the Mack engine from the A1?
