    What's causing the voltage to cycle off and on??

    Swag I wonder if they fried the voltage regulator by starting wrong sequence or running battery down and tried to start with weak batteries or overcharged with a manual charger?

    The sickness is real, but sometimes it pays off!

    You are correct as the antenna tuner is worth the price of admission. Typically always removed at demill. Very few leaked out attached on any type of surplus. What are your plans for the tuner? I have seen many m1097's last year with shelter rails and mounts for the unit to poke out further...

    MT654 Allison Transmission

    Sir, you are correct Fram is poo 💩 I would recommend you change the internal pan filter also. Mine came with dexron already changed when I picked it up directly from Ft. Polk. Mine shifts great and no issue. I do not carry weight and tow small trailers occasionally. Btw, O'reillys still sells...

    Towing 30,000

    That looks like it started as a m931 tractor with 15k towing on pintle. It would do over 30k on the fifth wheel.

    Towing 30,000

    I would be more concerned on what can brake 30k plus truck safely and reliably. A deuce air over hydraulic stopping itself and 30k was not what is designed for minus an axle and 2 brake drums. Max towed spec on a m35 with no alteration is 10k. A m939 series 5 ton or such with total air brakes...

    Wheel studs 5 ton

    Todd has given you sound and correct advise. Those do appear to be hemtt wheels which oe are 1600's that fit a 5 ton but slightly thicker and different offset which is giving you the blues with the studs. This has been a known issue more with the front than the rears. Also if you ever get...

    Wheel studs 5 ton

    Please post pictures of your tires and rims. Do you have adapter plates? Are the rims angled holes for tapered lug nuts? lug centric instead of hub centric?

    M116A3 trailer with tore up inner bearing race that I can't get off

    If the drum goes on correctly with new bearings and you can set the nut, I would say no worries on the angle. It will just wear the tire faster and slightly uneven. For the use you envision. Ymmv

    M116A3 trailer with tore up inner bearing race that I can't get off

    Did the tire on the damage side show irregular wear?

    M116A3 trailer with tore up inner bearing race that I can't get off

    Yes try another cut and spray pentrating oil and atf to let it sip in. A3 axles are pricey some on ebay as they have the drop for hmmwv wheels and tires.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Here is more than you ever wanted to know on trailer safety chains: https://fleetrabbit.com/blogs/post/dot-trailer-safety-chain-requirements Most military oe chain hooks would not pass standards as they don't not have a latch to keep from coming off due to vibration.
