    Heading to the East Coast

    That's no fun. On the plus side, reinstalling a starter shouldn't be a big fix if you can get the bolts. Now, I don't know a great deal about the FMTVs, but I have noticed traffic about them having a vibration issue. Something about driveshaft phasing, I believe. I would recommend some...

    KAMO rally October 11-13 2019

    Same here. Keep trying to make it again, but seem like the truck is down every time.

    If I'm searching correctly, shows to be Fayette County. Possibly in/near city of Oak Hill.

    Questions / discussion about General Mechanic's Tool Kit

    I have a GMTK that goes with me on any trip. You can do an amazing amount on work with what's in this kit and maybe a couple other special pieces, from changing injectors on an LB7, to swapping a transmission in a Civic. I've added a couple tools but basically original. That said, if I were...

    M35a2 Torque arms

    Set of 12, plus two tie rod ends, and some shock bushings. I believe they only fit the m35 series trucks. Much smaller than the ones on my m51.

    M35a2 Torque arms

    If someone is needing a set of the bushings, I have some I'd sell for 300 plus shipping.

    Flatbed Conversion

    https://images.app.goo.gl/gDvBrdvq6LzEihBz5 But if you want to go flatbed, I like this style. Looks clean, gives cargo boxes, and throws less rocks.

    M929/M930 Dump Box Floor Area?

    Sorry for the late response. If you still need the info, here's what I found: Bed width, inside the rails: approx. 82" minus a little at the front where the bolts for the cab protector are. Bed length, inside the tailgate to inside front panel: approx. 125" minus about 2 1/4" for the lip and...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    I had a K5 that would pop when turning. Had a broken spring in the front spring pack.

    M929/M930 Dump Box Floor Area?

    A little narrower and about 10' long. I can measure when I get home, if someone hasn't done so by then.

    Pump shut down after battery short

    I would start by checking for voltage to the fuel shutoff solenoid at the injection pump.

    Options/Opinions on Equipment Type Trailer to Pull Behind a Deuce.

    If you go with a civilian trailer, look for one with an adjustable height hitch. Not only can you adjust the height to match different vehicles, but can swap between a pintle ring or a ball hitch. I have a 20' that I can pull behind my pickup or my dump.

    Michelin XL tires

    Where would one find the offset lugnuts?

    Michelin XL tires

    I don't have any wheels yet. Was looking at lmtv wheels to go with the 395s. I have the new lug nuts already, but would I have to change the studs if I went with the hemtt wheels?

    Michelin XL tires

    First gear is so low, I figured it may compensate for the effective change in gearing. And I don't actually haul anything with the truck, so the power loss probably won't be a huge concern.

    Michelin XL tires

    They are 16.00s. Bigger than I need, but for 100 each I thought I might try them. With the 11.00s on it now, its topped out at 50, but cruises best around 45. And I rarely go more than 15-20 miles with it. I was looking to put on some of the 395s, but haven't found any semi-local or at...

    Michelin XL tires

    What's the consensus on the Michelin XL tires at this point? I ran across what looks like a decent deal on a set. For a 5 ton that won't see much "real" use, would they be ok? Or are they past the point of safe use?

    M51, M817, M929 Tailgate Part Question

    I built a couple pins for my truck from parts I found at Atwoods (farm supply store). A couple pin with clips, some s hooks, and some chain.
