    HEMTT Engine swap to 5-ton

    I just picked up my second 7-ton Rockwell from Redstone with my M1008. Got it home and unloaded it to find SOMEONE had taken the differential apart and set it back together loosely, then had stored this beast out in the rain with the top of the crate halfway ripped open. Do you see where I am...

    HEMTT Engine swap to 5-ton

    OK, for all you ladies out there that are hung up on the actual frickin' title of this mother, I copied and pasted it from the actual auction: 8-V 92TA.

    EUC submitted to approved in 3 days!

    Hey Lance, I am in that sale (4991) too for an XM813. They have had my EUC at Battle creek for, well, for a long frickin' time... I lost count. It took almost a month to just get it sent there. I did the chat thing with Heidi, and was told it was a really big sale. I told her they might want to...

    Need some tires

    Hey, How'd you do the hydroboost steering? Did you use an orbital valve to control the hydraulic cylinder? This is one area I haven't adventured yet, so please excuse my obvious ignorance. Also, for the 4-link, did you use the exsisting torsion bars in any way, or did you scrap everything and...

    OK guys... M35 not bad, 818... piece of cake now this!!!

    You can do like I did with about my 3rd or 4th MV: Tell her it is actually a friend's truck that you are "holding" for them until they can some get it. She bought it for almost a month before I had to fess up... :idea:

    m1008A1 new owner, new electrical issue!

    Did you check the air in the tires? Seriously though, my M1009 had similar problems as far as electrical goes, and it turned out to be the sevice lights switch. That little puppy controls a lot more than just lights. :driver:

    Water leaking into cab

    I can almost guarantee it is the foam around the kick panel vents like NPD732 was saying. I redid the interior on one of mine recently. Put in a sunroof that does not leak, but had me thinking it was for the longest time. Right before I installed the carpeting, along with the heatshield material...

    HEMTT Engine swap to 5-ton

    While I probably won't do this, I was just wondering if anyone out there had ever tried to put a 8V 92AT into a 5-ton. I recently won one of these 4150# monsters on GL, and had planned on stripping it for parts and such. The XM813 I have seems to have a strong Cummins in it, but I sure would...

    Where to find a glow plug module.

    I would use MAFF sensor cleaner and a brass brush. You can get one of those brass toothbrush-looking ones and cut part of the bristle part off with only one or two rows left, then use a microtorch to heat up the neck near where the bristols start, and bend it so the bristles are pointing...
