I am looking to put either 22.5 or 24.5 wheels on my M818, at least on the front for now. I have searched for days and cant seem to get a set answer. What size in 22.5 or 24.5 would match up to the 11x20 NDTs in the back. Im just looking for a tire and wheel combo that is just easier to come by...
I have a set on my m35a2 they seem ok to me. They wear really nice compared to the ndts. They have really decent traction. But they usually are not cheap new.
Well I just got around to by passing the swapping valve today and replaced the fuel line from the filter to the IP. I had to replace to belts that run from the acc drive pulley to the fan pulley. I also repacked the bearings in the pulley. It starts and runs a lot better, but number six is still...
I figured out that number 6 is skipping. I have been looking for info on what kind of injector I have. I would like to replace it or at least the o rings.

Someone added a pump in between the filter and the IP. I found a leak in the hose running from the pump and IP. Also my starter seems to be stuck engaged several seconds after the engine starts.
I went and picked up a M818 this afternoon. I traded a 1951 Plymouth rust bucket and $2500 for it. They threw in 2 new batteries, it has decent tires, and a hard top. Now the bad, it has a fueling problem. Once up to speed it runs fine to me, but it idles really rough. When you accelerate from a...
I am looking at buying a M813 5 ton cargo in Waldo, Fl. Is there any way someone could ride up there and check it out with me. If I but if I would bring it to the show. The owner said the only thing it may need is tires, so maybe I can get 6 good tires for cheap if I have to at the show. If I...
Maybe if I go check it out and buy it I can get a list of people and numbers of members on the way home for emergency stops. I live in Jakin Ga which is 10 miles from Alabama and 10 from Florida. I would try to stay off the interstates to avoid the DOT. But if someone can go check it out that...
I am looking at a xm813 5 ton cargo truck that is for sale in Waldo, Fl. Is there anyone near there that could go and check it over and see if it a decent truck.
I run around 8,000 miles a year give or take. Its my daily driver most of the time when its not broke. And All of them miles are on any thing I can find to put in the tank but usually motor oil.
