I like your truck and trailer - -but I don't have room for that!!

Hey Vinny - are the 16.00x20 the same as HEMMT tires - the ones shown on your truck pictures with the 109 body on the 818 chassis? i assume these are the same thing - - I have been calling them 52" or 53" tires. I also thought the body bolted right on, can you explain about the U-bolts? I...

I did some drawings to scale, from the transportability guidelines. The first thing I notice is that the drawings of the M818 with the M109 box do not look like the pictures shown in the thread. The pictures show that the box is elevated above the wheels nicely, where the drawing shows it is...

I never seen this done. Have you checked the bolt pattern and the splines? It would be interesting.

I was going to do mine like that, but instead put it in the cab in the corner behind the driver seat. Then I could see it each time. One question is, if the fluid fills from the reservoir, what about trapped air in the line from the reservoir to the MC? That is, you can fill the res. And does...

You can use a 50, 70, or 100 amp DC circuit breaker as your switch, and run leads from this 'power distribution area' to the battery, both + and -, with 6-ga wire. then you can draw what you like. You can use a large terminal strip for the high current wires. I have seen similar work done using...

somewhere, there is a miniscule tiny fault or leak that causes the MC to become almost empty after about 3 years and 15000 highway miles (hardly any braking comapred to a grocery getter or farm truck..). Therefore I voted "other".

I was offered relocation and "house for house" to move from Texas to San Jose. I refused on the grounds of this very sort of thing. My boss who was from San Jose and had moved to TX, said he knew exactly what I meant.

$399 is a fair price as well.

Help me understand about beach driving. I was warned by the locals not to take the M35 (20K lbs with the shelter and all) out onto the beach (padre island, TX) becaue it could get stuck. They allow dune buggys and cars.. sometimes I suppose people get stuck.. I did drive a car out there some...

that reasoning did not work well when my friends allowed my generator trailer to burn to a crisp. At least you broke your own stuff instead of someone else breaking it for you.

Sorry to see this! I note the rebuild was not punched out, stock sizes. seems like the may have done the sleeves, new crank, and all. I hope they did not re-use a bolt..

low is one thing, "0" is another. Maybe as they say electrical. My temp sender has a bad connection and the reading will move quite a bit. I assume you cleaned up the oil pressure regulator when the new engine was built, or whomever did it took care of that detail. I get about 75-90 cold, 60 at...

for 60A alternator issues, please see this page: Untitled Normal Page and this page with video (download - don't try to watch online) Untitled Normal Page maybe it can help you fix it yourself. If not, please consider buying an exchange from Memphis Equipment, for kindly allowing me to make...

Frodobaggins, I beenmeaning to ask, one cat to another, why is your avatar kitteh so devlish-looking? I mean, I have known some really mean kittehs in my nine lives, but that one is scary! Is Relative of Basement cat? lol(cat) Maybe was owned by a little girl from a '40's jam ad?

There are several terms that do not apply well to the M35. 1. comfort - the above comment applies 2. luxury - only if the alternative option is to walk, or you need some shade. 3. handling - it does not "handle" in traffic. It "behaves", or "has behavior" I have more than enough stength to...

The air assist has a certain amount of air pressure (120psi?) put against a certain size of piston. Same as a hydro. The amount of assist is different, as is the way it is aplied 9unless you have a ram or something) If I am not mistaken the air-o-matic is most useful for cranking the wheel when...

It's been done, but the big question is: Is it worth the risk of cycling metal bits through your turbo and ruining it when they get caught between the blades and the jets, to avoid the dirty little job of removing it, stufing a rag into the manifold, and then drilling and tapping the hole? I...

when I asked what I wanted with it, I said I drive it in the Veterans Day parade.

yeah but they are not rustbuckets like some Northern ones.. I've hestiated taking mine to the coast due to it getting a coating of sea salt. Some of the pics might look junkier than the actual trucks because of the picture taker's own methods for taking pictures.
