I have searched for a solution to my steering problem and I just can't find any answers. Here's what I have found.
When driving my truck at speed (at least as much speed as they have) it is all over the road. The only play I can find in the steering is in the box. When the truck is running...
Thanks for all the ideas. I actually got the truck crank a little bit ago. Here's what happened. It would fire off with ether with no trouble. But would still not attempt to fire off on its own. I put air pressure back on the fuel tank but this time much higher then the other day. Probably 5 to...
I thought about that but with air on the tank it pushes fuel out of the line at the pump. No air in the line, just fuel. I tried to crank it with air pressure on the tank too and still no go.
Should have mentioned I removed one of the tanks and piped the other tank directly into the fuel filter a couple years ago. I forgot to mention the modification.
Ok, here we go. I have searched and can't find the problem. So here's what happened:
truck has been hard to get cranked for a while. The last time I had it cranked it ran for about 30 seconds and died. It is not uncommon for it to do that. Tried to fire it back up and no fire at all. Have...
Is there a thread on radio communications yet? I am not a radio expert but I have a 2 meter/440 radio and I would like to know if it would be advantageous to mount it in the 5 ton.
I made a new reservation Saturday night. I just called and my old one was not cancelled but the new one was on the books. I am in a different place so I hope I didn't kick anyone out. I didn't see my old room Saturday night but the web site is different now so I probably missed it.
I was...
Shiny is here to stay. Aluminum is just too sporty.
Here's the thread on the unimount swap. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?136337-I-regret-changing-my-M818-to-hub-piloted-unimount-wheels
I would not have swapped them over to unimount if I had known I could find bud wheels in...
Hello all,
I have my bobbed 818 in the most presentable shape it has been in, in a while, so I thought I would post a few pictures. I cut a deuce bed down to 9' feet, more or less and put it on a set of rails that are mounted on a dump hoist. In one of the pictures I have the bed off. It can...
I couldn't stand the 11.00's on the front so I broke down and bought new 12.25" wheels for the front. LOOKS MUCH BETTER. Drove it for the first time yesterday and it rode fine. Not happy with the used tires on the front and I am considering buying two new 385/65's. Bad part is they are at...
One more question on this subject. If the sprag is engaged while moving the truck around, when will it disengage?
Another question: Does the sprag stay engaged in all forward gears? I often spin my rear tires going up my driveway with a light rear ended truck like a bobbed deuce or 5 ton...
I got the truck sat down on the new wheels today. Here's a few pictures of the almost finished project. Still looking for some 12.25" or 13" front wheels. I don't like the 11r22.5 tires on the front. I want 385/65r22.5 on the front or 445/65R22.5 all the way around. I have 455/55r22.5...
That is probably correct. The studs I removed from my 5 ton hubs came out of holes that the common and standard unimount studs go into. Since the hub is a little smaller then the you should have no problem there I would think. I figured the stud holes in the hub would have been smaller...
