    M925A1 "Brake Chamber" issue?

    No title is a red flag. Make sure you can get it titled before considering proceeding. That explains the pricing...

    M923A2 Starts only with Ether, and stalls when put into gear

    I've seen this exact set of symptoms with an air leak progressing. Hard to start, till you crank it enough to purge the air. Air leak gets worse. Now cranking it isn't enough to purge the air, but starting it with ether is enough to prime it. Air leak gets worse. Ether will get it running...

    M925A1 "Brake Chamber" issue?

    That's a screaming deal for a decent M925. Granted, we have extremely limited data on which to base this.... Leaking brake chamber may be the service side, or may be the emergency side. Either way it's a trivial fix. Emphasis - DO NOT DISASSEMBLE the brake chamber until/unless you know what...

    M923A2 Starts only with Ether, and stalls when put into gear

    I didn't read all the back and forth. In think the fuel lines are leaking, allowing air entrainment. Or it may possibly be sucking air at the manual primer pump.

    Bridge truck tires on a M813 - what would it take?

    Putting super single tires on your truck is pretty straightforward. 395's, 14.00's, and even 16.00's will all fit. None of them will fit on the stock 5ton Budd lock ring rims. There are multiple wheel choices that work. To use bridge truck wheels, you need spacers up front or they rub...

    Spare tire?

    Thanks I confess I had the big truck place mount the tires to the rims. I don't have shop air in KS and didn't think the onboard air in the truck was up to seating the beads. Mounting the 6 wheel/tire assemblies to the truck was all me. I broke my roboimpact on about wheel two. (It died a...

    Spare tire?

    Somewhere near 500lbs/ft, varies by manufacturer. 14''s on MRAP rims are light. Yoru need to play with 16.00s on hemtt rims for a while....

    Spare tire?

    That's really strange. Neither of those wheel types ever had 14''s on them in the military. Obviously 14's will fit on the wheel. But 14's won't fit on a 6x6 deuce. To find two separate instances of where someone changed tires from stock to 14''s is a low probability event. Both had to be on...

    Spare tire?

    The wheel will bolt on. The issue is that the tire size is probably 14.5R20 and you probably have 395''s or larger on your truck currently. The first picture is an M35A3 wheel. The second picture is an MRAP wheel with an adapter plate. Both will bolt up to a deuce, except the tire sizes are...

    4th annual BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG RALLY 5/19/18 Atlantic, IA

    Looks like I may be within driving distance of this thing come May 19th ... Having never been, what do we do at these things? Do we sell ammo cans and other things? Do we shanghai extra hands for installing an LWS on an M925? (You never know what some people consider recreation....) I just...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yeah, that's an issue. I'm going to compress the springer base to lower the total assembly.

    M813 Batteries / Charging

    That's bizarre. It's not plausible that Steve put a 12v alternator in it.... Edit - PM sent
