    1984 M936 issues and upgrade?

    The Allison is close to maxed out with the NH250. I believe its rated for something like 800 lbs/ft of torque. Wreckers are known for early transmission demise due to the weight.

    Evaluating a 5-ton for value?

    I see a gasser parts truck also. $800 may be below scrap value. It's worth the greater of $800 or scrap.

    M1078 is army. Marines went from 939series trucks to MTVR instead of FMTV.

    seven for sale in one lot in Sierra Vista AZ

    XM816 swap to Michelin 53 Super singles

    XM816 swap to Michelin 53 Super singles

    No modifications need to be made to the axle. You will need to change out the rear lug nuts to ones like you have on the front. They're available at Napa and similar places.

    Has anyone piped the exhaust on an 802 831 or 803 into a water drum?

    A muffler off a large truck will probably not add much back pressure and will quiet the exhaust. Since much of the noise is not from the exhaust, a well ventilated enclosure may be your solution.

    M 998 Regulator and Overall advice

    I'd upgrade to the 200 amp alternator and call it done. My understanding is that the 60 amp units frequently fail.

    Tire mileage

    My opinion, not that you asked for it- run with what you have . You have plenty of spares. Change out to 395's on mrap rims with spacers at some point in the future. G177s look good on a deuce. The clearance is just barely not enough and they don't hit all the time, just intermittently...

    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    I have one high back hmmwv seat, attached to a battery box cover (passenger side obviously). It's in KS. I don't plan to attend the GA rally, but I suspect Dave will so perhaps we could hitch a ride with him.

    Tire mileage

    G177s dualled on the back of a deuce will rub slightly on a trunnion cap bolt head.
