Assuming all the preliminary check are good, I would recommend going thru the pressure regulator adjustment procedure in your TM if your having any odd shifts. If the regulator is sticking , full of crud, or misadjusted you can easily damage an otherwise undamaged Cat. An ornery regulator can...

Here are the promised pics of the M51A2 with the take-of wheels and tires fromf the 916. Not as cool looking as Sonis with the wider front tires, but it gave me a couple more inches of ground clearance, 60MPH under 2K RPM, and a WHOLE lot better ride. Its kinda nice that the Army put brand new...

If your seriously comptemplating a 916 or 818 , and your willing to drive 4 hours, you can come see both here. Each has advantages for your intent, best way to see is going for a ride. I'll warn of an alterior motive, Im getting ready to sell my 818. KJ

I wanted to update and close out this thread. A fellow SS member gave me the contact of Recovered Materials Incorporated in Alma Georgia. LTL carrier delivered my tires yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased. 4 excellent tires and 2 rims for $300. The shipping was more than the tires and...

SandCobra: Would a pic of a MK17/ M916 frankenstein earn me a PDF? :)

Soni: Did you use the Equal beads in your 11R24's or static balance? I just threw the 916's takeoffs on the dumper (no rebalance) and the ride was markedly improved. Haven't done the 818 yet , but I'm comptemplating trying the dynamic balancing prior to mounting them up. My 818 rides horrible...

I learned a few things this week on the Prius: 1- needle guns are awesome! If you have a MV you definately want one. 2-You can move the seat back on a 916 about 2.5 inches, and it is comfortable even if your full grown. 3- The winch fits nicely up front, making plans for an "oilfield" style...

Purists beware, latest pics of the prius, and a shot of reality on what a m51 can hold. Also with considerable thought, and your valuable input the winch placement will be to the front.

Reb87, I was going to bid on those PLS trailers, but now I'm glad I didn't. 1 because I wouldnt want to bid you up, but mostly because I probably would have been too soft to steal away that beautiful Chinese ringneck's house and would have had to abandon them :)

Thats a 16V92 in that Freightliner.

Also if it will fit in an F350 It'll fall in a deuce or 5 ton :)

I dont think it would be all that hard to get a 12/71 or 92 in a deuce, soooo If you want your deuce to pull wheelies, stuff in a mighty Detoit and be waaaay cool like this guy :) YouTube - International Detroit Diesel 12v71TT sled pull wheelie

Hello everyone. Wanted to post a quick progress report on the prius. Sourced the wheels and tires required for this project 16r21's. I will post or PM the source after pickup if the gentleman I'm getting them from would like me too. Discovered that to get a 916 through a 120" tall shop door...

Hello , thank you for the information everyone. Looks like I have found an excellent source for these tires and wheels. I will post their contact info after pickup, if the gentleman I'm getting them from would like me too.

PCTRANS: I knew someone else had to have done something similar. I bought an 818 (the one in my wifes artsy ice storm avatar picture) when I bought the MK17 to do this the way you did. I changed my mind due to the grief of setting up the hydraulic system and lack of load capacity to match the...

Hello, and thank you for the input. A few answers to the questions: -The MK17 has 58K tandem set with 5:57 gears and air lockers in both diffs with air engaged interaxle. -The stock front axle is staying, just changing the gearset and adding an air locker. - I'm not actually making a crew...

So here is the M916 MK 17 hybrid I've started to build. I'm thinking of calling it the Prius for short. This is my first real input to this (or any other) website, hopefully I'm doing this pic uploading thing right. If so these are the original pics of the two donors and a chopped up pic of the...

Where you gonna get waste fry oil post apocalypse?

I have a question on the lower EGT 250 with turbo post, is this upstream or downstream of the turbo? I cant imagne it being lower upstream of the turbo.

Sorry I have not yet figured out how to post a picture. I just put a Y in the line above the shutoff solenoid and ran some stainless hard line left over from the racecar (available at Jegs or Summitt) with associated fittings to the pressure test port on the front of the front head. I think...
