This /\ quite common, had a few tires on different vehicles do this lately.

If you need 6x6 to get up the mountain you better put a lot of that 33 ton on the fifth wheel, as well as a nicely loaded pusher on the rear of the trailer as well, just in case...

If it’s on concrete, and the stands are rated for the load. A little gear oil on a piece of sheet metal under them and you can slide the tires right off.

Thats a nice cooler, but it isn’t doing much there. Is it wide enough to go where it belongs?

Use a wafer wheel and cut a slot in the head for a screw driver.

Also @majortom hasn’t posted in 6 years, hopefully he’s alive an well!

Sounds like your mechanic did an improper shutdown, and at minimum fried you ABS module.

Stock, the way I got it from the military, mine runs 67 mph at 2100rpm on 14.00’s. 75 at 2400, iirc pushing down hill. 25psi max boost. Occasionally hit 1300 degrees pre turbo, running heavy, and can force it to 1400 lugging, big, long hills before they force me into first gear. One of these...

Oh yeh good point. Probably have to modify or build a new pan as well, but sounds like a fun project!

9-36v is a common rating as well. Make sure you order the appropriate series pig tail sockets to match to new lights, then just a matter of cutting and splicing to the old bulbs pig tails. I prefer the solder-seal connectors for splicing.

Unless you have good fabrication skills and or a donor truck, and retarder setup for the Cat, I would go with a higher HP 855 with jakes. The 3406 will fry the stock Alison the first trip out, so yes a manual would be a good upgrade for the mountains as well. All this will still take a...

Both 5 ton and the Bronco can go out on the trails.

@TedCat is close as well, but haven’t seen him on in a while...

Try @74M35A2 he’s close and maybe able to put something together for you.

Welcome aboard from SE Indiana Paul! 5 ton is the best bad habit I’ve ever started What part of Kentucky are you in?

If you can dump it, 12 ton is just the right amount before the brakes start to really feel the weight, especially if your still on duals. 4 ton is not worth your time and fuel. Also in a pinch you can pump your brakes to drop the air pressure just enough to get the transfer case to shift if it’s...

Go with leds, most are rated for 12 and 24, no step down needed. Search 7” led headlight on ebay or amazon.

Looks good for me so far!

Is the truck new to you, or did the problem just develop? Sat for a long time? I’m not familiar with this engine, but if it’s an overhead valve. Pull the valve cover, check for obvious differences in the valve train on that cylinder vs the others. If nothing is obvious other than that exhaust...
