The wheels are odd enough that there's no shame in not immediately being able to identify them. "Those wheels look oddball. What are they, something custom?", would be appropriate.

Possibly re-centered hemtt rims.

In theory, it'll stress the bearings. In reality, the bearings will probably be fine unless you put a lot of miles on it loaded beyond the rated capacity. As for the front tracking differently than the rear, it makes a difference offroading when you have to create more than one path for...

Things to consider - 1) if the rear tires touch each other at all, they'll build heat and catastrophically fail. 2) the bigger the spacers, the more stress is placed on them. Spacer failure is not uncommon. 3) steel spacers are preferable to aluminum. 4) spacers add width to the truck. It...

I suspect the gladhand cover, service side on the front. There's a vent on it. If it clogs or is removed, it prevents the service brakes from completely releasing.

The wheels fit. Not sure about 14.00s.

Hard top may be a bit quieter. But really not a substantial difference. If that's your selection criterion it's pretty much a wash. I like a soft top and the ability to (reasonably easily) remove it and run topless. In your climate, I'd choose a hardtop. JMHO

Comparison is "reliable when fairly new" compared to "reliable when fairly new". I'd like to see a comparison of "reliability at 30+ years old" to "reliability at 30+ years old". I speculate that the older cruder platforms start off less reliable, but retain a higher level of reliability...

But better with hemtt rims. 16.00s are really going to kill the bottom end on that heavy beast. I drove one on 14.00s from Nellis AFB to Phoenix and it was bad enough...

Make some out of a stall mat?

DT466 Cummins 8.3 Some of the Cat offerings. The 5.9 Cummins may be the best choice though.

My M925 with 16.00s and hemtt rims.

It does not.

I like that mod because it gives you high and low 6x4 and high and low 6x6. While it removes some of the bind on the t-case in low range by not forcing low to always be in 6wd , it doesn't resolve it completely and low range reverse still runs a risk of breaking the t case.

They're air shift. The ratios aren't the same. It really isn't worth mating up the Tcase out of the M939series with the transmission out of the M809series as you end up with a gear or two that aren't useful. I'm thinking the M39 series is the same as the M809series except for the engine...

The 939series 5ton trucks have a 10:1 reverse gear. In low range, this is enough torque to break the transfer cases. Thus you can't back up in low range reverse in those trucks. Not an issue in the older trucks.

Another 818 with 53" tires. The truck tractor wheelbase makes a big difference.

Wet stack isn't rpm dependent. It is load dependent. It can and will happen without a load even at high rpms. Most common in underloaded generators, where rpm is constant.
