    Transmission Trouble

    The 700R4 in stock form is Light Duty at best. It has a lower 1st gear than the TH400 and of course the overdrive. the 700R4's are prone to heat failures, and cost 3 times what a 400 does to rebuild. I am not sure but I believe that the 700 R4's also use a lockup convertor. as far as a direct...

    has anyone heard of alfaheaven

    Some members have been disallusioned after the purchase of freshly painted over & prettied up trucks from Alpha. Haven't heard any complaints about tires from them. Man, it seems to me that I've seen plenty of tires for sale a lot closer to Florida though.

    M35-a3 can you make it a true 6 wheel drive?

    if all three axles had lockers, the truck may spend more time sliding sideways that it does going forward.

    M 880 Facts

    Black Out Lights kits were typically installed at unit level by units that were deemed tactical or deployable. as the M886 was considered a front line ambulance, all likely would have had them. I would also assume all radio trucks would have also received them. other specs Dana 44F front axle...

    GL Employee Damages My M1009 & Insists I Pick It Up

    sounds alot better than a bent driveshaft & crushed exhaust from the typical hilo crap. drag link and /or tie rods for what is probably one of the most common vehicles on the road in this country. are not very expensive or hard to replace. Sure GL should know that their bubba is a moron, but...

    I am going to look at my first Deuce on Sunday......

    Here in Michigan, My 16,000lb M36A2 is not restricted by the MDOT frost laws. The most weight is on the two front tires, yet it is still within the frost law limits. The limits are tighter on the steering axle due to the forces generated when turning corners. on another note, my pad in front...
