5200 lb axles are standardized to 6x5.5 lug pattern and have been for decades. Anything else would require a special order.

Sounds like a custom order axle to me. The shortest I can find for the 5200 lb series available pre-made is 73" face to face. Part number breakdown to me looks like TS52 635 432 655 EEC TS = ? ? ? possible brand or series, but Dexter uses D52 for their 5200 lb series. 52 = 5200 lb 635 =...

Burning to the ground and internal damage to the start box are two different things. Plenty of documented cases on here of a keyed switch damaging the start box, requiring it's replacement. More than a few people argue that their keyed switch works just fine for however long it's been in, but...

common issue for wipers and washer fluid is the electrical connections under the windshield. If you aren't planning on folding the windshield then removing the spring loaded contacts and connecting the wires in the frame to the ones in the windshield solve that issue. Other issue can be bad...

there are plenty of 3D printed tool battery adapters out on the market. Then a smaller slave cable to the slave port, and that's all it takes.

One thing to keep in mind is there really is a difference between a 20 volt lithium battery power and a 24V automotive system. That 20V battery is fully charged at 21V, but under load will be operating somewhere around 16-18V That 24V automotive system will be greater than 25V with the truck...

I don't know which ridgid air compressor you have had for over a decade, or what it's duty cycle rating is. The one linked above appears to be a newer model, but as I said no idea what yours is. There are also more than a few people that didn't believe the 55mph max speed for the 3 speed...

Yup, my 200 amp worked intermittently for several months before I replaced it At the end the only way it would work was to shut off the truck, tap the side of the regulator with my closed pocket knife a few times, then try to restart. Sometimes it would work again, sometimes it wouldn't. No...

The only rating I could find for the Ridgid was 16 scfm for the low pressure blower tube, but for the high pressure I don't see anything obvious, even in the owner's manual. Most of them bury it in the owner's manual. The Milwaukee 18V inflater has ratings of 1.4scfm @ 0psi and 1.1 scfm @...

Engine is post 196900 serial number with the remote power steering reservoir, frame looks like early 3 speed, and if serial number matches those produced in 1986 then it's a mishmash. I hadn't heard of M109R1 trucks that kept their original serial number but anything can happen during rebuild...

28-29V at the batteries is correct. The gauge is only really there for reference. As long as it's consistent and batteries are at correct voltage then don't worry too much about the actual colors and whatnot on the gauge.

Nice thing about overkill is it makes it easier to upgrade in the future if you need to.

just in front of the fuel tank there are 2 check valves in short rubber sections of hose. Those are the ones that normally cause trouble.

in WA it's possible to register military vehicles, but it depends on what licensing office you go through. the state sent out a letter 6 years ago telling offices to not license anything with a military looking model unless the owner could prove it had an FMVSS decal on it, but as I said, it...

Quick read through the specs doesn't list anything about oil/fuel resistance in it's requirements. Not to say your rubber doesn't have that resistance; just it isn't part of the spec.

Does the rear support bracket go to the exhaust manifold or down to the lower engine block? The exhaust manifold flange isn't parallel to the mounting face, so when you tighten it down it pulls the stud off center, considerably weakening it. Add a 200 amp alternator to the mix and the stud...

Not sure the situation but usually a shipping container is set down wherever you want it to be, and you start filling it with junk, pretty quickly going well past what the rated capacity of the M720 is. Not much point in having the container and not filling it. With a little time and money you...

M720 is designed to connect to smaller shelters, does not have the correct size or design of connectors to attach to a shipping container. For civilian shipping containers, you would need the M1022A1 as it is adjustable for different container heights. The M1022 is designed for an older...

They were still selling off 5 tons and deuce and a halfs until a few years ago, and most of them left service decades earlier. Unless they change how the military disposes of equipment, they should have HMMWVs for sale for at least a couple more decades.

Power comes from the batteries, through the headlight switch, then through the turn signal, and then goes out to the lights. I believe it also comes through the PCB before the light switch. There is a breaker inside the light switch that will not reset itself until the short circuit is taken...
