Today, I decided to dive in and see why it didn’t run. Topped the coolant off, notice oil was slightly low but still within the fill lines so I hooked my slave to it and it rumbled to life instantly to only shut back down. Low oil pressure, peek my head around to see a puddle quickly growing...
Alright ladies and gentleman, I’m going to make another build thread on something that I’ll probably never finish, because if you know me, I’m the worlds WORST procrastinator.
So let’s get started!
Scored up a MEP803A mounted on a M116A3, the hours were low, and the price was right! It was...
Yeah they’re getting absolutely insane, all but bars a hobby member from buying one. They need to get more reasonable back to the 2-3k range for a mint set
Good info [emoji1360] unfortunately I don’t have a pto on my truck yet, that would be a nice addition.
I’m seeing what’s the cheapest way to cook this up as spending 5k+ when I can buy a new 10 ton dump for 11,000k doesn’t seem fit

Alright SS Family, need some assistance! I have a M925 I’m parting out, and the bed is mint.
I’m thinking about building a dump trailer, and keeping it on rockwells mean the trailer is simply going to be too tall. So here’s what I’m thinking:
1) Use the 925 bed, maybe add 2’-3’ of removable...

The legendary g177 is probably the single toughest (readily available in most markets) tire you can put on a deuce, price is reasonable (subjective), traction is better than a N(o) D(amn) T(raction) and wear is spectacular. Especially if you adjust your front end properly and also machine the...
Most turbo trucks have a different gear ratio to accommodate armored acceleration, that’s by in part why the 1123 6.5 NA 4 speed trucks are very fast on top end. I had mine up to 90 as well doing some wide open testing last winter and decided it felt like i was coming back into the atmosphere...
I agree with the above stated, my ‘67 received its final depot build in 1989/91 (can’t remember) and received a LDT-465-1D with the quieter “D” turbo, rebuilt transmission, rebuilt axles, dropside bed and other goodies but of all things they reinstalled a rebuilt sprag :vomit: transfer case...
People always want to grab mine when climbing under the hood and it infuriates me knowing it’s nearly unobtanium or insanely overpriced
