    Looking for Mulitcam Seat Covers for my M813

    Jatonka's covers are very well made and durable. I'm very pleased with my set !

    New M931A2 to add to the Steel Soldiers Fleet

    Don't forget some $$$ as well. Good luck on the recovery, the adventure begins. I have an extensive thread on the build of my m932a1 tructor in the 5 ton section. I used a drop side deuce bed with 3feet cut out. I reinstalled the troop seats as well. It all looks factory. I'm very pleased...

    Transmission temperature??

    Do the touch test. Then pull the instrument panel out a little so you can get at the gauge. Make sure the connections are clean and put silicone grease on the contacts. Do the same with the sending unit. I recently replaced my coolant gauge and sending unit because I was getting odd...

    Transmission temperature??

    Mine normally runs about 170 when all warmed up. Your cooling system probably still has some garbage in it. I run a coolant filter on mine and after 2000 miles and 3 filter changes its finally starting to look good. Check the deuce forum for the setup. Have you change your tranny over to...

    Picking up our truck next weekend!

    Wow, helpful state police. I get nothing but smiles from the local Po Po's. I even had one follow me home to check out my truck.

    Lets See Your 5-Ton!

    They had a friend do it for them. I have since picked up a shackle that I will attach to the pintle to make it even easier for folks to tie on.

    Lets See Your 5-Ton!

    Its funny most of the pulls I did I didn't even give the truck any gas at all. This is the element these trucks are designed for. I'm looking forward to this next year and more fun.

    Lets See Your 5-Ton!

    I didn't get stuck or my buddy with his M813. I did pull start a deuce due to bad batteries. Its funny pulling on something with the truck, a little tug and then you don't even feel them. I pulled a monster truck out and pulled him so hard I pulled the 5 foot right rear tire off the rim. It was...

    Lets See Your 5-Ton!

    The tructor is about done. Started as a M932a1 then added a shortened drop side deuce bed with troop seats, LED lights all around, and many more little mods with just a few left to do. I will be installing a HMMWV seat on the drivers side for a little more comfort.

    Batteries dead, gauge show charging?

    The big NHC250 needs a lot of amps to crank in the cold. What works in the summer won't in the winter. I replaced all 4 of my batteries for this exact reason. Now it cranks very well even below 32. Before it wouldn't start if it was below 40. Go over the TM's for adjustment of your...

    Well I'm 0 for 2 on a 5-Ton with working 6x6

    I'm not familiar with the 8 series trucks front axle engagement. Use the search function in the 5 ton section. I'm sure others have posts that could be helpful. In addition the Technical manuals, TM's, are available for download here on the forum. Hang in there. It might take a little bit...

    A question about M35A2 running lights

    When I upgraded to LED's on the front I had to get a new flasher unit from Erick's, now no issues. I did have Ericks cable mod already in my truck. I don't like splicing into 40 year old wiring if not needed. Everything works great. I have LED's all around on the truck.

    Looking For Some Answers - Or Not

    Sounds like a fuel starvation problem. Did you make sure the manual shutoff is fully open ?

    New truck and a stuck brake! M923

    As said before get into the TM's. I spent a huge amount of time in them before I started working on my 932. If you don't know how to cage a brake then you better spend time reading before you do anything. You will hurt yourself ! I replaced all 4 of my rear diaphragms trying to diagnose a...
