    Don't hate me, I ordered a DurOmax,

    It's all the bad words you guys keep using!

    Don't hate me, I ordered a DurOmax,

    Good, because I put the name into google and went to the Harbor freight site and read the reviews with 3 stars and below to get a feel for what the people who did have problems experienced. Hate is such a strong word and you may completely change your mind in 6 months.

    slow leak in tire

    My Ipad seems to work fairly well by starting at the SS website and going to manage pictures, then taking one and downloading it. So far I've just done pictures and have had a hard time getting at the "done" button, but it usually works.

    Transfer case upgrade to a XM818

    Read the thread and have a few questions. The drive line is singing. Have you thought about balancing it? You put in the T-1138 with .73 OD from a 939 series and a 6453 Spicer with a .78 OD, which combines to being .57/1...and it reaches a speed of 70 mph at 2000 (about) on 11.00 tires...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Given the limited range of flexibility required, I wondered about a wrap or strap that would go around it in a figure 8 pattern and hold them on. Even something like strips of innertube that could be stretched tight to keep it from moving sideways and off.

    M1082 trailer

    I like the 1082 and what a value....but they are too high. 1061 is about right. I bought a NOS LMTV bed and was thinking about a ford dual rear end (that I have) from a 2003 van/bus with 16" tires that would put it at a lot lower height. It's not terribly heavy. I like that it will have...

    new to the forum few basic questions about a M35a2

    But NOT in the military trucks and official papers say so. Go to the link Wes provided and the table. It sure wouldn't hurt to carry a copy of that TM statement and the table, just in case there were a problem. I see my tractor can haul 55,000 of fifth wheel trailer combined weight...

    Whats the difference, BMY vs AM General, if any ?

    On a GP auction ending I think today, there is a cab-chassis that is listed as a 925, yet it appears to have a very long frame. What's up with that? Also is a 927 that is done at 9 Pacific..

    new to the forum few basic questions about a M35a2

    Maybe you can convince them of this (in the TM). The 5-ton load limit rating of M939/A1/A2 series vehicles does not mean these vehicles are limited to 5-ton payloads. A vehicle rating only indicates the maximum amount of cargo weight the vehicle axles and frame can withstand when operating...

    new to the forum few basic questions about a M35a2

    The tractor has different rating. Per wiki; "The M931 (M932 w/winch) was a semi-tractor used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg)".

    new to the forum few basic questions about a M35a2

    I have a super nice M931A2 tractor....and will throw in the trunion plate for making a fifth wheel drop deck or RGN trailer. It is the nicest truck of the 16 that I have bought (sold 13).... a RR rebuild in 2012. More pictures if your interested. I've got one truck too many to keep up with.
