That is a good point PB. Just CYA in that case, but I had not thought about it with the trucks. I didn't think to get an EUC from 54Reo on my deuce!! but he's the last guy I have to worry about. It's the ones you don't know.

It is also possible to consider entire axle swaps for the rears and re-gearing just the front, but that is not my first choice. I'd like to find out more about gears. The reason I did not like the 16.00x20's was as stated above, such large tires amplify every little imperfection in the...

I am considering all the options. A transmission upgrade is not out of the question, provided the OD ratio is enough. The truck has the Cummins 250, with a 2100RPM redline. If it had a multifuel with a redline at 2600, there would be no issues. Changing the engine to gain RPM is not a good...

I was trolling pirate4x4 and found this info on the 5T rockwell. Any info from there is in "quotes and white" and the thread itself is by spidr, King of Booty Fab: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=784718 "The upper reduction in the diff is 2.45:1, has 11t pinion and a 27t ring...

The primary goals which both ought be met are: to run 60MPH to not redline it. 53 (M818 redline) is getting dangerously slow on a stretch of 2 lane highway where the limit is 70. Because I live in Dallas and have to drive 40-80 miles to "fun places", I got to use those highways and they are...

Reference:http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/38278-m39-series-5-ton-transmision-swaps-axle-info.html Seriously, I'd like to do entertain the possibility of trans. swaps or gear upgrades to increase the M818's top speed. Not wanting to hijack another thread, as many seem to involve engine...

Maybe they have put it on hold or whatnot. OK well it was interesting. Let's see what the future holds.

If it's 28VDC @ 10KW output, set it up as a backup genset for the house. There are inverters large enough.

besides tires, which is at this point :deadhorse: 1.) I saw a chevy 454 attached to am M35 transmission, and that has certainly been done before. A member here had a 383 attached to one. That will take care of the speed. 83MPH at 4000RPM, 70@3370. It ought to have the torque to do it as well...

There are two regulators in that thingie. It ought to be taken off, given a good cleaning, oiled up, and put back on.

The suspense is killing me!

alas my arms are too big to get up in the door. Min'e also broke, going to be fun to fix, but at least those articles are there.

sound proof? None I ever heard was. They are pretty noisy. Lots of threads on insurance with company names. Most go through someone othr than the family car ins.

That looks great! I've been to Eagle, CO in January. Otherwise, not much experience there.

There is also SSB on the 10M band, so if you hear distorted sqwawking noises on your FM set, that is what that is.

There is hand access to that area inside the cab I think. My concern is the thin sheetmetal VS the moment of that antenna espcially the VRC-12 style one.

If you got room at all, a full size steel (or fiberglass if you must) whip will perform much better. I use one on my pickup truck. It helps knock the dead squirrels out of the trees. I see you got a military mount. You can put a 3-section military HF antenna there, using two long sections and...

Is there a military ATV or a military diesel ATV? Just thinking about it.. I got a Yamaha Wolverine - a good unit, 4x4, narrow compared to many so it can go places, mostly an appropriate color etc. Even has a PRC-77 mounted on it and it beats those ham radios in the woods no question. I've...

The pin A is ground. This is very important that there be a good ground connection from the radio case to the (-) power source, the main power ground. Are you using the mounting tray with integrated socket that radio's plug fits into? For test you might want to use a strap or a #12 wire from the...

The big tube generally does not glow, it is ceramic and metal. The tubes are fired up when the mike is keyed, beware 700 volts on that tube which is efficiently deadly. The large output tube is a 7843. The driver, which is what you see in the top center, is a 5686. The anode (pin 7) of the...
