Holy ****e! You caught that in time. I notice your "Deuce thumb" with blood on it...typical side effect of working on the beast. The whole hub and bearing assembly looks like it benefitted from cleaning and regreasing.
Mine has a fully functional driver alertness system that prevents the operator from dozing off during long, slow rainy drives while listening to the monotonous clacking of the wipers. The military engineered minute openings in various windshield corners to allow small quantities of water to hit...
These command posts typically do not get a whole lot of use. It would probably be good if the truck was stored inside, or at least under a roof. Cuts down on the typical rust, less leaves wedged everywhere and less of the associated cosmetic and technical issues.
Unfortunately that is what I ended up doing as well. I had hoped that one of the electronics wizards on this site might find a fix for what appears to be a not uncommon problem on both LED head- and taillights. I also had a taillight lose half of its LEDs and someone answered that he has an oil...
Tri rails, even for the puny 9.00X20 tires are heavy and you will be crawling all the way behind each of the inner duals to put them on....in the snow..at night...in a snowstorm. Are you going all out into steep terrain in deep snow? Then you should chain up all 10 and have a winch. Same if you...
It is really important that, when questions are asked with the intention to diagnose your problem, you answer them. For example, whether you have an air operated or hydraulic switch and whether you are sure that your brakes release fully/function normally.
Usually, people asking these questions...

Yes, that is not unreasonable. A precaution (aside from sitting in the cab, anticipating that it MIGHT happen and hovering with the foot over the brake) would be to chain a second truck to the truck on the stands, as an anchor.
There is at least one video on youtube where a truck takes off from...
When you bled the brakes, did you bleed the air pack first?
Brakes staying on after application point to an air pack problem. Do the brakes release when you open the air pack bleeder?
Heath, you are right in the sense that personal preference has a lot to do with how one perceives the "looks". From a practical perspective, I prefer mine singled out. It still rides like an ox cart, just a slightly more comfortable one.It actually turns, does not push over the fronts in sharp...
