the trucks that we have were NEVER designed for civilian use, hence cant be compared to civilian rigs, thay do what thay were designed to do VERY well, that is to get you in and out under combat conditions in the worse conditions imaginable., its not a weak engine, but the gearing that thay have...

RE: Jeep
wow, some pics, if the 08 ride is any worse then the 07 , the 819 will have to bend in the middle, i would like to see a 2 day ride where we camp that night, that would be cool, a 3-5 day 08 event would be neet
yes ,that was my plan, if i dont set up a trans switch, a spring loaded electric over air solenoid working off the backup lite switch, powered it is in reverse, non powered its spring loaded in forward, with a second air valve to hold it in neutral
your right, the hole between 3rd and 4th is so big that i can loose the 819 in, the one between 4th and 5th isnt to bad, 5th isnt a hill climbing gear,but would be nice to stay there a bit longer. the hole btween 3rd and 4th need at least 2 more gears, 3 would be nice.

john
the 7 speed is part...

the mack unit is a automatic inter-axle connect, it works like a limit-slip diff.. on power divider equiped duel axles, the REAR axle drives until the power divider is locked in then both drive. in the mack unit, if you break ONE axle the truck will NOT go. in the power divider inter-axle...
RE: 5 ton
i have a old MOTER truck repair manual showing timkin (rockwell) double reduction drop in axles, there is 6 axles, thay are the std and stdd ( the stdd is the duel axle setup of the std, this would have a power divider on the front third member), this looks like the 5t axle, the...
