    Replacing pto winch with electric

    Or keep the PTO winch up front and add an electric winch to the back of the truck.

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    The 6.2 in my 1986 M998 starts nearly instantly also. As in, you just hit the switch and immediately release and it's running. Not exactly the same, but close. The 8.3 in my M936A2 is the same. Just bump the switch and it starts, probably the first time any of the 6 pistons comes up on...

    16.00R20 Tire Brand Preferences

    We put a 16.00 XZL on a 5ton combat rim. Mounted it on an M923A0 . At full turn on a level parking lot it made contact. To get around this you can - 1) live with it 2) use hemtt rims up front (or all 6) 3) adjust your steering stops As for me, I opted for HEMTT rims all the way around. I'd...

    Michelin XZL vs Michelin XML vs Michelin XL vs Goodyear AT-3A vs Goodyear AT-2A any others that are 14.00 or larger that are any good?

    I've had all of these. My preference for a truck that is primarily a toy is the AT3 in 16.00. If you're doing primarily off road and heavy, the XML in 395/85/R20 is good choice. 14.00s are getting scarce and expensive. Choose 16.00's or 395's. 16.00's rob the bottom end noticeably...

    New Project

    The old diesel - if it doesn't have overt signs of life in it, it's probably OK, especially if its JP8. I ran a tank of JP8 through a truck that I know for a fact had been sitting since 2003. I'd be tempted to run it through the filters on a transfer tank in any event.

    Thoughts on Adding a Flat Top Sleeper Cab to an M900 Series Truck

    I have shortened dropside beds while retaining the dropside capability. (I have also spent many nights asleep sprawled across the seats in a 939)...

    Gov Planet zero accountability

    I bet you're right. Memory says so... They only started specifying "clean" when they were selling with and without the stamp, to differentiate the two.

    I think what you have is a title in GP's name, transferring it to you.

    Gov Planet zero accountability

    This is why I suggested just going to the DMV as a first step. They may just issue a NV title and registration. Calling them will do no good. What they say on the phone bears little resemblance to what they'll actually do or refuse to do when you're there. My suggestion is informed by dozens...

    Stick with DOT5 or go to DOT3/4

    I can think of no compelling reason not to use DOT5, and plenty of reasons to use it.

    Step 1) go to DMV local to you and try to register normally. Do not allow them to give you anything but normal registration. If they don't want to, take the paperwork you currently have and depart. Subsequent steps- Go to a state that doesn't require residency as a condition of...

    They look like 16.00s, but I could be wrong.

    New Doors Vs X-Doors

    I'm too cheap for any of those options, but if I'm choosing.... Make mine OEM X Doors, and by a large margin, but not at current prices.
