    Snatch block size for Self Recover Winch

    That explains a lot. The 10 ton recovery ones are tiny compared to the 8 ton ones I have found. But even the one Wes sent a link for is only rated for 4 ton lift. There still appears to be a huge discrepancy between different blocks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snatch block size for Self Recover Winch

    I saw those. They are for 5/8-3/4” cable. That is what is crazy for me. The snatch blocks that are compatible for my cable size are not rated for the line pull. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snatch block size for Self Recover Winch

    Is that for a 1/2” cable though? I am guessing it is for a much larger cable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snatch block size for Self Recover Winch

    Just read the thread. Any thoughts on where to buy them? Largest 1/2” cable one I found was 8 ton and had a tiny pulley. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snatch block size for Self Recover Winch

    All, I am confused by something. If the self recovery winch can pull 15,500lb max on the bare drum. What size snatch block should I get? I figured 15 ton WLL, but all of the ones I have found use 5/8” to 3/4” cables and the SRW has a 1/2” cable. Do I need a 10 ton one for 1/2” but use...

    Looks good. How is the progress going? Are you using batt rock wool or panels? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A1R winch rear fairlead mounts?

    That is what I was looking for. How do they do the roller fair leads because they don’t have bumperettes. They must use something. I was hoping someone would know what they do for that application. I assume they did not get rid of winches on all A1R’s. I figured someone here might...

    Replacement seat options

    I was hoping for a junkyard pull or EBay find for seats. Lower budget. My understanding is that a lot of the cooled seats have CANbus in them and you need to know what signals to send them so they will actually do something. That is why I was asking if anyone has figured it out...

    A1R winch rear fairlead mounts?

    Anyone know how the rear roller fairleads are mounted on an A1R truck? I was curious since the bumperettes are not used on A1R’s. Any pictures? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CAT 3116 A/C pully not really needed? LMTV FMTV

    Is that for a 3116, 3126, and c7? The cat website lists that one for C7, but does not mention the other engines. I did a search and found this one 106-7404 but not sure if that is correct one for an ac compressor. It is for a 3116 and 3126E. On a side note, I like the dual belt...

    What alloy steel are the frame rails made from?

    I have multiple friends that are certified professional welders. I will definitely get help. I am doing background research. I plan to have the upper frame rail and lower frame rail seam staggered so they do not line up. Then have vertical joints so I can easily square it off. The...

    What alloy steel are the frame rails made from?

    Anyone know the alloy and temper for the frame rails used on FMTV? If not, do you know the material properties? Looking to weld a frame extension. Would like to have info to evaluate options. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
