    Question about changing tire in the field

    I used the harbor frieght 3/4in wrench set and a cresent wrench becuase on mine you have a 9/16 line a 5/8 bolt holding valve on front and a 1 1/8 holding valve on rear axle and the lug nuts are 1 1/2 so you need to have a couple of sizes to get it done. I just changed out the blow out I had on...

    has anyone used a M931/M932 to take a CDL test?

    Yes you can get cdl with 5 ton b only with only truck, "A" with truck and trailer, you might also check into your state laws. In Wyoming with a "a" or "b" if you get clipped for speeding or doing burnouts in your new green machine it stays on your record longer. So before I got a cdl just for...

    M915a1 voltage question

    I think part of the problem is the alt are such a small amperage in these trucks, With the amount of amp hours the battery's have I guess they figured there was no need to have a high amperage alt. So with blower and headlights and trailer lights more than likely it just can't replenish enough...

    M931a2 Trailer question

    Thanks for the input, I was planning on using this truck to pull a trailer and leave it at the sand dunes in Idaho, I have a 35' bumper pull camper that I leave there now but I thought it would be nice to get a dry van and convert it to a toy hauler. I was going back and forth about converting...

    M-146 recovery

    Thanks, for the link, I am not planning on using MRAP wheels, I would rather just leave it alone verses spending a bunch of money for it to have different wheels anyway if that makes sense.

    M-146 recovery

    I have been looking in the classifieds and find nothing. You would not happen to have a link for them would you? As for more green stuff she doesn't really care what I get but I am positive I will not get her to ride in one to Vegas again.

    M-146 recovery

    What I did was took the ramp that holds the spare tire in place and leaned it up against the fuel tank so it made a little ramp. I then got under it and lifted and rolled and cussed...then cussed some more. I was one hurnia away from leaving it on the side of the road and when I came back by...

    M-146 recovery

    No, no one stopped to help with the tire change, it was a pain to do, the biggest problem was getting the spare back on the truck. I got a hand winch to mount on the boom to help in this but I did not have time to mount it like I wanted before we left so I just had to pick it up to put it on...

    M-146 recovery

    I was going to do a build like yours but it is a bit short inside for me, so I don't know what will happen with it, as for landing gear yes it hits I planned on pulling feet when I picked it up but the pins were frozen in so I just made no sharp turns, I am sure people thought I had no clue how...

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    Yes I have had very good luck with this method.

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    I am not going to get in a peeing match with anyone but just because you have fuel at filter it does not mean you have what you need for injection pump. The injectors fire at 2000 psi or so... if it is aerated the injection pump will not hit that mark. They are a pop off style injector so it...

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    +1 on pressurizing tank even a small pin hole in the suction side of the pump can cause havoc. I am guessing you did not put half a can of ether in it. I am sure because it was your last resort you used a min amount that is probably why it did not start. Even with no glow plugs and poor...
