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.

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.

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.

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...
I was looking into doing something similar........
Below is what I have heard..... have not verified, but someone here probably will know the answer........
One thing I heard is that the cab tilt piston has flow safety check valves...... if you push fluid too fast, the valve will close and...
I figured it would be something small like that...... just never saw one before. That is why I was asking. I tried google, but no luck so far.

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...
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...
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?

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...
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...
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!
