this is the thread that sparked my curiosity HERE. It seems as though it is a front clip of a deuce on a 5 ton. Now I know that you would have to do a re-power to get this to work but if a guy has a 6bt laying around and wanted to do this would it be just as simple as realigning the front cross...

Hi Guys, I recently saw a pic of a 5 ton with deuce front fenders, hood, grill, etc and they made reference to it being another frankenduece, now even with my best efforts I could not find a completed mod involving this, does anyone have any photo's or links to a completed one?

also hit it with soapy water when you are done to ensure the oring has sealed, very nice wheels, heavy as heck but I build and sell these all the time!

I work with these wheels all the time, I find that even with a small compressor they seal best when upright, off the truck and you can wiggle the rim with air going in till it seats, as long as your bead is clean it should fill, if its not holding air you need to replace the oring. Make very...

pretty sure those are not MRAP, those look more like they are FMTV. Mrap wheels do not have the offset mounting flange.

in theory a straight through muffler has no restriction so no egt gain.

It always amazes me how this stuff is STILL out there NOS, thank god for packrats with a lot more space to store stuff than I have!!!!

they have survived a long time as is, I am not so sure I would re engineer something that may be more unreliable than the original system, just ask us Germans, we over engineer everything and that has taught me some things.

that is nothing, when I worked at MATES and UTES they have a loading ramp right outside of the shop as well as an obstical course and mud trech. Whenever we had a track come in with broken suspension after fixed they would have us run it off the ramp to test that the fix held up at a high rate...

I use slime in all of my dirt bike tires and it works great for that. Cannot comment on freeway speeds though.

that is the same stuff the military uses. I see all of this as a good safety measure but lets not forget that some how, some way, these trucks have have survived since the 70's without a coolant filter and the gunk in the block is far from the weak link of the multifuel. You will get better...

the 7155 is an OD tranny, the allisons you are looking at are not, any commercial truck tranny will go in with some modification to the firewall for shift linkage.

I have done a bunch both ways, by putting a trailer bed on it I would think that the trailer springs that came with it with little to no load on them would be just fine. Deuce front springs under an unloaded bobber are too harsh imo.

This is an image I doodled of an M920 singled rear with a crew cab, after driving one as long as I have I would most likely keep the rear tandems, they have been amazing in all weather and situations so far, the crew cab would be nice and with an M920 you can crew it and still put a 12' deuce...

holly crap, loading that thing is like threading a needle. I have contemplated the crew cab thing with my 920 many times but I am just going to go the sleeper route, much more useful to me that way.

Wow, talk about an old thread resurfacing. I had great success with the donaldson, no frills, no gimmicks just a straight through design quiet muffler designed for over the road truck so it should last forever. Just my .02

I can see your dirty undercarriage!

ooooh I want that trailer

I don't know exactly, on my m920 I had to grind the drum and the valve stem for clearance, the 5 ton combat wheel has even more backspacing so my gut says no unless the drums are smaller on the 915

nope, has an mw pump like the pre 94 dt466, there is a great writeup on it here
