This 813 runs like a bat out of h*ll. The larger tires didnt hurt the power at all & I have only had to downshift a couple times going up steeeeeep hills.
At redline before (2300 rpms or so) it would go about 57-58mph......now 58mph is 1700 rpms. :mrgreen:
Not all 5 tons run the same....so...
The PITA was the weight of everything! I did it by myself w/no help.
To flip the hubs you will need :
Bottle Jack
Jackstands
Impact gun (500+ lbs torque)
1 1/2" 6 point deepwell impact socket
13/16" square drive impact socket
3/4" 6 point impact socket
4 3/8" 8 point axle nut socket...
Thanks for all the compliments guys! :)
I will park a regular 5 ton on one side & regular deuce on the other side, so everyone can see just how big it is. The pics dont do it justice. lol
I used budcaps on all 3 axles.....then attached the rims w/rear lugs.
I did flip the hubs in the rear, however, they do NOT need to be flipped. All that is needed is to flip the rim around.
I will NEVER flip 5 tons hubs again. I cannot explain how much trouble it was.
I just got done w/my M813 upgrade....
M813 W/W
16.00-20 Michelin XZLs
2 piece HEMTT rims
:mrgreen:
Meet my truck....."Chuck Norris".
I flipped the rear hubs. It was a HUGE PITA!!!! I would not recommend it to anyone!
I scraped off all the loose paint chips w/a putty knife & went over it...
