It was quite a chore dismounting and then mounting the tire/wheel/drum assembly mostly because I did it alone. Heavy stuff. Do you guys leave the wheel mounted to the hub when you do this? Or remove the lugs and take the wheel off first to make things more manageable? I left the wheel/tire...

Thank for this. The tabs of the lock washer was what was preventing the socket from sleeving over the bolt. It was all covered in grease and I didn't notice it until you brought this up and I dug around in there. The 3 3/8 socket works perfectly. Thanks again fellas! Now to figure out the...

Thank you. That's what I bought. Frustrating. I'll get it figured out. Thanks guys!

Well darn, it seems like 3 3/8 should fit given those dimensions...but it wont sleeve over. * sigh *

I really appreciate the response. Are you sure this is for an M105A3, as opposed to an A2 or A1? The nut is close to 3.5 inches but seemingly under by a bit but not less than 5 3/8 given that socket won't go on there.

3.5" is too big. 3 3/8" is too small. Before I order any more sockets that are wrong, does any one have the specs for the M105A3 hub nut and lock nut size? (They're the same) This is driving me "nuts "(yuck yuck yuck) ISSUE RESOLVED : 3 3/8" was the right socket. The locking washer tabs were...

You might have more luck in the correct subgroup "Parts Wanted" and "parts for sale."

Ok. There's my answer! It has only one belt which is why only one is listed. I wrongly assumed it had several like the NHC250. Thank you!

Right. And no engine/power steering/alternator/etc.. belts listed. Well, on one line in the A2 section it says "6 CTA 8.3 Belt" without saying what that belt is.

So, this thread has a huge and great list of parts for 5 ton trucks.https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/5-ton-parts-quick-reference-spreadsheet.82404/ I just ordered a bunch of belts to have on hand for my M923A2 in case one breaks on the road so I'm not dead in the water. However, I realized...

What is it about the HEMTT rims that mitigate the tire rubbing issue on the front wheel without steering travel adjustments? Your truck looks great, BTW.

Ok, so I'm going to buy 7 tires (6 plus spare). I have seen a couple threads about the 16.00r20 having clearance/fit problems on the 5 ton . If I'm not transporting heavy loads (i.e. not causing suspension to sag down) will they fit without modification? I'll try to find some threads on the...

What is the rationale for changing to those sizes? Do they fit without clearance issues on the M923A2? Can I use the same wheels that I have? Thank you.

I am often at highway speeds which I suspect will dictate that you recommend replacement....I guess I am going to get some new tires. What type of business would have the equipment to put new tires on my rims AND have the expertise not to F up the CTIS system? Is dealing with the CTIS pretty...

The 14.00r20 Michelin XZL tires on my M923A2 are about 15 years old. They have 80+% tread. However, there are a number of small cracks in the side wall, presumably due to age, UV, etc. Are these tires safe to run or do they need to be replaced? (Note: The photos below are highly zoomed as you...

I loaded my track Camaro in mine...I think this is a first in a 923A2.

Oops. Wrong thread.

It was about one week ago. I would say my lungs feel fine. Maybe I lucked out due to the fact that I did this outdoors with a little breeze and it was just 2 parts but it's just 2 parts. In the future I'll wear a respirator mask with filters

I was reading some older posts in this thread about hazards of stripping paint using physical methods (wire wheel, etc.) I recently stripped two bumper extensions which were in rough shape with multiple layers of paint but also rust in multiple places. I stripped them down outside using an angle...

Wow. Thank you.
