    Anyone regret goin to 16.00r20 Tires on M923a2?

    Driving lindsey97's Weedtruck (not what you think) on HEMTT rims and 16's is a joy. The ride is better than G177s. I theorize that the taller sidewalls flex more. The effective final drive ratio makes the shift points noticeably different. Top speed is only limited by your sanity. We had...

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    I was using bare blocks for a welding table. That was after I practically begged people to take them.

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    I'll speak bluntly. No. It does not strike me as a good deal. On road titles are the elephant in the room on these things. It's still not sorted out. I predict we're going to either see them all allowed on the road, or all banned from the road. I can't guess which. Paying a huge premium for...

    I believe it's a small cam Cummins NH250 unless it's been swapped out..

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    If you're going to give it a transplant, consider other option besides the 8.3 and NH250. A big cam Cummins comes to mind... I'd pronounce that 8.3 dead. Did you talk to silverstate55 about a block?

    Tire Size Comparison 16 vs 14 vs 15.5

    If you're going to super singles you want 2 piece volt together combat rims. No changes need to be made to run them. Suspension and steering components are beefy enough to not be overstressed. Your effective gear ratio will change obviously. With 16's, this will make for rather profound...

    Florida off road only

    They'll have it both ways. Walking my cat on a leash is legally defined as "public display". Following that logic, driving the vehicle in public should also constitute public display. Anything else is inconsistent. My best guess says they'll be inconsistent, in order to have it be public...

    Generator wet stacking discussion

    My reading suggests that it becomes a problem fairly fast (a few hours?), but that periodically loading it will clean it out. http://m.csemag.com/index.php?id=9575&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=36382&cHash=e0b399904af236d9f863742ca8f03440

    Generator wet stacking discussion

    The thought occurs to me to run the RV from a battery bank, and feed the battery bank from the genset. Allow the battery bank to become somewhat depleted before starting the genset, then run the genset high enough to prevent wetstacking. Since this seems obvious to me, I must be missing...

    Bought me a M923A2 Today!!!

    That truck looks suspiciously like an RSMS truck. Can you post pics of the tags inside the drivers door?

    Bought me a M923A2 Today!!!

    The odometer reading means absolutely nothing... Looks like you got it at about half market value. Switching from a soft top to a hard top is no big deal... Welcome!

    5 ton a2 winter fuel

    "Starts sluggish, but runs great once it's running" sounds to me to be unrelated to gelling/waxing, and likely to be resolved with a block heater.
