Thanks @GeneralDisorder . Oh and if anyone lives in upstate SC/western NC, I'd love to meet up and check out their truck.

Thanks @GeneralDisorder for the info. I'll keep an eye out. And thanks to everyone else who replied as well!

Well, that was my other piece of reasoning - even if I had to end up putting $20k into it, it'd still be significantly cheaper than even a newer half ton pickup. And honestly, all the newer pickups seem like they have some pretty significant issues. But I ended up passing on the truck.

Well, while I'm no diesel mechanic, I did see the truck in person. It looked like it had been taken care of. No rust, tires were newer. I didn't see any external physical damage to anything. My thought process with this truck was that it was similar in price to what trucks are going for on...

Well I feel like I'm getting really conflicting opinions now - @GeneralDisorder is trying to talk me out of the truck, while @MatthewWBailey and @Keith Knight are telling me to go ahead and get 2 :LOL:. I already had a rough time with the other half telling her I was getting one truck, I can't...

I really appreciate the replies. I'm not sure what to think of the 3126b at this point. I've seen plenty of good and bad opinions of it. The Heui system is definitely the weak point, but it seems like it can be upgraded to be pretty reliable if the rest of the engine is in good shape. Now, if...

Hey everybody, I've been on here for years, but never really posted before. I've always wanted an LMTV, and hopefully on Friday I'll be getting a 2003 M1078. Currently it's not running. I know it has had some engine work, but I'm not 100% on the extent. It's about an hour and a half from...

I actually have the same exact problem in my turbo 400 in my jeep truck and I just rebuilt it, although it did it before too. I talked to a guy that really knows these transmissions and he said it pretty much has to be that the linkage is adjusted wrong or a spring in the transmission that...

Hey you're not hurting my feelings, i just pulled the transfer case out of it. Thanks for the info.

Hey guys, So i've got this gear driven transfercase that i pulled out of a truck that seemed similar to an M211, as it had nearly the same axles. It also had the 302 inline six but it had a manual transmission. The transfercase has shafts for switching into low range and for the front output...

Oh alright thanks. Although it looks like it may be easier to get some HEMTT wheels because I was wanting to get some adapters to mount 5 ton wheels to 2 1/2 ton axles.

Thanks for the info. When you say buy them locally, what places do you think would be likely to have them?

Hey everybody, So I got a set of 5 ton wheels a while back but don't know anything about them. They're a two piece double beadlock lock wheel with 20 studs per wheel. I've attached a pic. I was wondering what trucks these came on and where i could get o-rings and valve stems for them. Any info...

So what tubes are you guys using for this? Would a 9.00-20 tube work or do you have to get a bigger one for the 395s?

Yeah i actually tried that. I lifted the whole back of my jeep truck off the ground with the hi-lift on the tire bead. But i guess if I would have went around the whole tire using this method it may have worked. Sadly I'm kind of impatient.

Yeah I actually got a duckbill hammer and broke a tire down last night. I was pretty excited about it. It took me a couple of hours but hey it worked. I appreciate the help guys.

Hey if i'm coming to try out the hammer i may as well bring a couple tires for you to help me break down haha.

Huh, the angle iron is an interesting idea. But i'm worried that if I tried it i'd somehow mess up the tire. But i'm definitely gonna give the duckbill hammer a shot next time I get a chance to mess with the tires.

Wow i really appreciate all the replies. I'll definitely get a duckbill hammer and give it a shot. I kinda wondered about driving a vehicle up on the tire to try to get it to break. Is this just a bad idea? Would it harm the tire?

I've got some 9.00x20 tires on some of the split rims and I'm currently trying to get the tires off of the rims. I'm assuming the bead has to be broken before the lock ring can be taken off. What's the best way to break the bead on one of these tires? I've not had to much luck so far and I...
