395s or 16.00R20s are the choice for replacement. The closeness on the rear with 16s really isn't an issue unless you plan to run chains. 395s are quite a bit cheaper...

The following are facts - 1) GP sold some with onroad titles. 2) Many sold with branded titles were subsequently titled and registered for onroad use and then subsequently offered for sale as on road trucks. 3) Some of the trucks in #2 above have had their titles and registrations revoked...

I drove mos68x's truck today and formed some opinions. Here they are - After having sat for an hour or so it fired right up and idled smooth. No indication of losing prime or of air in the lines. It shifted well through all gears. Both when shifted to 1-5 and also when shifting manually. In...

These things leak like a sieve. It's not just a matter of weatherstripping. I'm tempted to ascribe the "better mechanically" opinions to an ingrained preference for older stuff. When the 809 series came around, you heard complaints that the M54 multifuel was better. The when the 939s came out...

He's doing it to "improve performance", not to get around any of California's laws. I can't think of any of California laws that lopping off an axle gets him around. Lopping off an axle doesn't change GVWR, and the truck still has full air brakes. Depending on how you read California laws...

I'm stopped in Seligman for the night. I have some o-rings with me....

Those are some of the better answers. Consider the LMTV platform as well. Truck selection is fun..

When they fail, they fail *on*. This results in a cylinder full of water, which in turn results in catastrophic failure. Too much risk, for too little benefit IMHO. It amuses me to some extent - many people select these trucks based on their reliability, longevity, and durability. Then they...

The cup equalizing pressure is a really slick design. Someone was really thinking on that one. I'm impressed

Width may start to be an issue. And tubes... What vehicle are you putting these on?

Any reason not to use 395s on LMTV rims on an M129A4? This would get me dead level with the tow vehicle (M818 on 395s), and would provide for commonality of spares between the two. Total height doesn't look like it'd be an issue, and distance between the rear axles looks sufficient. Am I...

This is exactly the kind of thing these trucks were made for. They were also made to be operated in groups, with sufficient infrastructure and support. A 2nd vehicle of equal capability is pretty much a must. Or at least a reliable way to get back to paved roads if the MV breaks down...

What's the low pressure setting on the CTIS on the HEMTT series? I suspect that the answer to that question will invalidate your expert's opinion...

I've done exactly that. ..
