Funny thing, that rock looked a lot smaller before I realized how deep the water was...

Do either of your trucks have electric lift pumps? I would have thought that they would have all mechanical pumps. I finally got some pics of our truck working here in PNG. These are from the first time we had it out and got it stuck on a pile of big rocks in the middle of a river...

Oh, and another thing--what can I realistically expect from the hand brake? Is it supposed to be able to keep the truck from rolling when parked on a hill? Ours doesn't, even though we've adjusted it according to the manual. Now it takes a lot more effort to put the brake on, but it still...

Hey, ours in an ex-USMC truck--I understand that USMC 809 series trucks have Detroit lockers in the rear diffs. I followed another thread that talked about how to tell if you have lockers or not involving jacking up one wheel and spinning the tire with the trans in neutral, etc., no hard...

I'm still trying to figure out how this door handle goes back on--for some reason I have the idea that I need TC 3-510 too see how it is all supposed to work, but it's not in the very excellent collection of manuals in the resource area. Noen of the 5000 or so pages of 809 series manuals that I...

Thanks everybody! I now have 5000 pages of maintenance manuals and parts lists. I guessed that my winch drive shaft might be for an older generation 5 ton, (flat grill style). Good to have confirmation of that. I dropped the tire pressures to 35 psi each, but I think I'm going...

I'm sure much of this has been covered before, but I hope asking some of these questions again won't try too many people's patience. About a year ago I bought a reconditioned M813 from a dealer in Georgia. I had it shipped to Papua New Guinea where I am living and working and because of...
