all of the new FMTVs I've seen rolling down I-81 were shod with MV-Ts, so Id say that they should be easy to source.

If you're going to do that, might look into the new super-single wheels that a lot of OTR trucks are switching to. Would allow you to run their wide-base tires for extra flotation.

My XLs do great in mud, but are so-so in snow due to the very large tread blocks. Never had them in sand, so can't comment on that. There are decent on the street, but I imagine will wear faster than the 177s if you're concerned about that. my $.02

yes. 14.50r20s are the same height as 11.00r20s.

After shearing the ends off of two 3/4 drive breaker bars trying to get the "hella-tight" lugs off the front driver wheel (I was turning them the correct way, clockwise), I broke down and bought a Double-ended truck wrench and bar from Ken-tool. That thing didn't even flinch when I put the...

Welcome from right across the border, and thanks for serving!

As long as you make sure that the chains are snug, they shouldn't give you any problems. I am strongly considering buying a set for my M35 after I get a cab heater installed.

My truck came with the same tall ceramic-ish filter in the primary. IIRC, the secondary filters won't fit in the primary housing because there's a "stand" in the housing of the primary. Like others have said, I plan on replacing the primary and secondaries with spin-ons the next time that they...

Mine is used for getting around in the snowy pastures and breaking the ice in the ponds.

frozen snow pack is the worst for hanging up a deuce. Happened to me last year.

the XLs seem to be really bad for forming a slick spot underneath them and causing no movement. A set of chains is the for-sure cure there.

ditto. Snow isn't bad, but ice is unforgiving.

Good luck getting that through the fill cap. The best bet (I think) would be a pump similar to the deuce's lift pump, but higher volume and pressure.

My deuce is being difficult to start this winter, but that probably has a lot more to do with the 10-15% gas blend in it than any problem with the engine or flame heater. I still need to check its compression in the spring, but even with the gasoline it would light up quickly around 40-50F. At...

Is there a source for NOS cables? I know that mine is broken.

I agree. Wasn't happy with the Power Wagon (I think) on Rockwells that was in the background though.

Gearz is building a Gamma Goat. ends at 1530

doesn't meth move your octane up just the same? It has an octane rating of about 129 (source: wikipedia) In either case, your point about cold starts is quite valid. Time to pony-up for for the white bottle from Power Service.

With a half tank of summer blend diesel and a couple gallons (5 or so) of summer gas, mine has been difficult to start on cold (10-15F) days, even with a functioning manifold heater. I plan on putting 2 gallons of gas and the rest diesel in the tank tonight. Not sure if it actually helps, but...

On a similar note: Does anyone know if NOS spark plugs and cables are available for the flame heater? I rigged something together for mine after finding out that the insulation was cracked, but would like to get the "right" part if its available. Thanks!
