    Question for M36 Owners

    I should have said quicker instead of faster, I guess. Once she's going, she cruises fine and you have to watch your speed/RPM's Perhaps the injector timing is part of the lack of acceleration, I'll have to read up on that.

    Removing lug and budd nuts!

    I would go with heat, which will expand the lugnut from the stud. pull the valve stem out of the tire, so the heat doesn't build air pressure. ( this won't help the lug nut, it's just safer) Jam nuts may work.

    M1009 37x12.5s Uhaul Trailer?

    The Penske trailers I've seen are SAAWEEEET! Either Yall Haul or Penske's 26' trucks will pull their trailers just fine. and with that size tow vehicle, too much tongue weight shouldn't be an issue. Been about 10 years since I used a 26' Yallhaul & car transport. Have since bought my own...

    Are bumper numbers and bumperett numbers the same?

    S.O.P. A requirement when a unit turns in or disposes of a vehicle. The unit id numbers on the front and rear are to be removed or painted over. Not much different than you or I when we remove the license plate when we sell a car.

    New Snorkel

    Necking it down to 3" and extending it has restricted the air flow. Which may or may cause a problem. A little bracing should be added. Mt Holly, is that Michigan?

    Brush guard

    The M880 series trucks were not made with brush guards, after delivery to the Military. some may have procured brush guards and installed them on M880's. Many non M series Dodges were purchased by different branches, these contracts may have specified brush guards. These contract Dodges spanned...

    M882 electrical system

    950R16.5 is what they came with. they will take any standard 8 lug with a 4 7/8" center hole older chevys had only 4 3/4" and 99 & up Fords are metric. Very close to a 31 -10.50 15 inch rims will likely rub on the front calipers.
