    explain some tire sizes to me please?

    RE: 2 cents??? Lee's advice is good and accurate! I have seen Army deuces with 11R20 XLs tires in the dual configuration. With that said, there is a difference between what *fits*, what *works*, and what is best. In response to your question on other tire sizes, here is what I have...

    Can anyone ID what this truck is? What engine does it have? Where could parts be found (i.e. water pump)?

    Large Flatbed MV trailer....

    I think the MK48 and PLS are two different systems. The Mk48 is USMC and the PLS is Army.

    Large Flatbed MV trailer....

    The HEMATs were designed for use with the HEMTT. I've been looking for one of these to pull behind my M1075 PLS and I plan on bidding on it. If you have a serious interest and plan to bid, please let me know. Thanks.

    Is the "Bridge Trucks" rated correct at only 5-ton

    Here is what I found in the -10 manual: "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 under the...

    Is the "Bridge Trucks" rated correct at only 5-ton

    RE: Is the "Bridge Trucks" rated correct at only 5 It used to be the military load ratings were under the 'worst conditions' with usually double that capacity on highway. I think the M939 series 5 tons don't have the increased highway rating. Only the basic, worst case rating provided. The...

    Not sure which tire to run on a 5-ton - 14-20 or 16-20?

    I also think that 14R20 is the way to go on the 5 tons, unless you have a bridge truck. Axle spacing is 52" and tires are 52". Bridge truck axle spacing is 56".

    No need for hub flip on the 5 tons. Just flip the rims!

    Got up close and personal with an MK36 wrecker tonight....

    14.00X20 tires

    Yes, 14R20s will fit on 5-ton rims. They are better than NDCCs offroad and on. Plenty of tires are available through GL at Texarkana.

    The wrecker you always wanted

    RE: wrecker I put a substantial bid in on it. Nobody else bid and maybe I'll get it for cheap (unlikey). I'll just paint it 383 and have the nicest M816 around!

    Empty weight is 28,880#. Yes to the spacers. 56" axle spacing. Yes to the tires (if you can find them). Don't forget to work on your spelling. School is your friend!
