Working on some new rockers for the M818 3"X3"X 1/8. I dont have a metal break so over kill as usual Sent from my SM-J737T1 using Tapatalk

New wheel cylinders, boots, wheel bearing, wheel bearings and did I mention wheel bearings. Im a little concerned about one of my front spindles, had a **** of a time getting the drum off and find some scratches and pitting where my outer bearing rides. some debris must have worked its way in...

Im thinking of trying to replace the spring in the rear cab mount with an air bag. It seems like a cheap, easy way to soften the ride on my M818 but I cant find any threads on it. Has anyone done it? Is there a good reason I don't see every truck with one? Can anyone point me to a thread where...

Bridge truck spacer acquired. Hope these get my turning radius back Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Tapatalk

Thanks I'm almost OCD about checkn fluids n maintaining as much as possable especially before and after a long trip. Yes I can be hard on it at times but that's what I have it for. To do jobs my other trucks can't at the same time I'm not stupid about it cause I know if it breaks I'm screwed...

Now I'm having issues with new 1600s rubbing on Pittman arm. What do you guys think is the best fix. I can get a set of bridge truck spacers but that puts the front tires way out there or stack a 2nd rear spacer on the front with longer studs. Does everyone have these 1.5 U.N. spacers on the...

I use this truck on the street 85 % of the time and I'm very aware of listening for the case to engage in proper sprag before I go after learning the hard way altho I wasn't ignorant of how it worked I may not have paid close enough attention to it. Altho I thought I had it working perfectly...

Yes I realise it's a sprag case that is shifted from forward to reverse sprag via air shift cylinder. Yes I tried air tool oil. Yes I now have a completely new air cylinder that I now realise had o rings instead of correct seals. Yes I have the air dump mod on this case. If I don't dump the air...

1st time I think my air shift got hung up 2nd one never seemed quite rite & now is stuck engaged all the time. I added a air dump & that does work but I'm waiting for the day it doesnt. I don't think the lockers help. These after market t cases do come with 2wd option but it comes with a cost...

Im thinking of installing a Profab or SCS Transfer-case in my M818 WW. Just installed 1600s and after going through 2 stock T cases on 395s I hate the idea of swapping in another unknown case. Has anyone done it??? If you could pick any gear ratio what would it be to run comfortable RPMs at 50...

So how in the **** do you get these giant Hutchinson run flats out of the 1600s. I know that poor horse has been beat to death but I was cruising rite along w the 1st 4, break down the last 2 & find these even bigger runflats Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Tapatalk

I would also love if the M939s had there own section. I find it very difficult to search now a days because of all the newer 5 ton threads. I have to scroll thru to find 1 or 2 on the older models. Please let me know if there is a way to search only the M809 n older I don't know about Thanks for...

Hello from W Palm beach LMK if I can help

I was cut off by an Idiot on his cell phone and had to swerve to avoid surely killing him and hit at 4x4 ft SOLID concrete pillar and knocked down a tree M818 NHC250. Long story short it broke the fitting that comes out of the driver side bottom of the oil pan. Does anyone know the name of this...

Welcome from S FL. Im working on opening a rehab for the Green Iron disease. Only cost you a truck

I thank you all for your input I know my 79 M818 and 56 M54 pretty well and have spent 4 or 5 years reading the wealth of knowledge here the entire TMs on my trucks and others and would have never gotten these trucks to where they are today without you guys and this site. Still so much to...

If the LDS ever goes in my M54 I got a BBF just waiting. Im a 7.3 guy n love them I would put one of those in but just thinking of the wiring involved makes my head hurt. This is supposed to be a fun hobby.

Good info and I have done all of the above from reading your threads and others But the M818 air shift cylinder got hung up in reverse sprag I believe and without knowing it drove off in 1st and felt a lot of resistance like I was locked in all the time. so I disconnected the air supply, got...

Yes my 5 tons have always done whatever I asked of them and got me home without fail. Sound like the A1 A2 A3 represents the what motor came in them and other than that they are the same. Does tire size had something to do with the abbreviations? I was more interested if there was any drive...

I had never heard of a A0 until I was reading a thread I cant find now and thats what inspired me to start this thread
