A lot of our HMMWVS and MRAPs have infrared driver's viewing equipment installed now, which is a screen inside meant to be used in lieu of actually looking out the windshield with night vision. I've actually seen some of these systems posted for sale in various Facebook groups recently for quite...
I'm not around, but my price has always been $ 75 per hub, plus whatever parts and grease, brake cleaner, etc. at no markup. That's for rears. Front hub/ knuckles are $125 each labor. So basically $ 250 for the front end and $300 for the whole rear, labor only. Parts will probably come in around...
Yes. Sounds like the relay valving is sticking, or the air piston itself is. Get it to stick, then open your service gladhand valve and see if they release immediately. If so, probably the relay valve. If not, open the emergency air gladhand valve and see if they release.
Yes you're right. I forgot about that. I don't see that being necessary for OP's intended application though. I have seen more than a couple deuces with bent rear spring packs, but only one with a frame bent from overload.
Anything with an SAE3 bellhousing will bolt up, but finding another suitable standard transmission with a higher ratio final drive that will actually fit in the truck is the hard part.
Look at M105, M1061A1, and M750 trailers. They have a small master cylinder with an air pot for each axle, which is similarly sized and braked to an M35 axle. Use an M939 treadle valve and a standard off the shelf relay valve. Run one master/ brake pot on each axle and you have properly sized...
It probably has a bushing adapter pressed into the crank. While I'm not 100% positive, I don't think they would've had a separate crank for 5 ton and 2.5 ton applications. Bushing/ bearing adapters in crankshafts are very common.
If you decide to use a 12 valve 6BT Cummins you'll not be disappointed. It is a bit of work and investment to get it all sorted, but well worth the effort.
Rusty, I had considered a 205 for mine but was concerned it may not hold up in a truck as heavy as mine. It certainly would improve ground clearance a lot.
