    M916 with a laid over trailer

    Have you tried getting off of that pin? Not likely to happen, there is a LOT of stress on that truck right now. Do not let anyone near it if you try. Probably have to get the trailer lifted a bit to relieve the pressure on the pin. Be sure to check out the saddle bolts very well afterwards.

    Yep, They are the ones I was talking about. They get pissed and then do it anyway. Rick

    new here, I want a tank

    That is the correct way to do it, gather information and research. Unlike most of us who just jumped in head first.aua Rick

    new here, I want a tank

    Well like they say, pictures or it didn't happen. You HAVE pictures! I actually forgot about that one, I guess that was the one he was referring to. I was thinking more along the lines of some of the other Darwin candidates I have seen. Rick

    turning up fuel and egt questions

    Just remember, you are hot rodding a 50 year old engine that had a dismal reliability record in stock form. Stock up on extra engines! Rick P.S. You might want to talk to the school administrators about what they are teaching you! The teachers need some teaching. You need to learn the basics...

    new here, I want a tank

    Replacing a track on a D8 is a nightmare and we used an excavator! I can't imagine a tank where it is bigger, a LOT heavier and the track is not exposed. Rick

    transmission swaps

    If you are breaking 400's like that then they are being built wrong. Plain and simple. A buddy of mine has built these for years for everything from daily drivers to pro dragsters. A lot of pro street cars use them along with the 700R4 which is nothing more than a modified 400. What are you...

    Permits? We don't need no stinkin' permits! We got our own bridge!!!!!:D

    new here, I want a tank

    Don't forget moving said tank from A to B. Lot's of overweight and oversize permits and a truck big enough to do the job. You will be restricted from crossing a LOT of bridges so you could have to drive over a hundred miles just to go ten. Rick

    Newbie looking to bid on Mep-003a

    Have you checked the classifieds on here? I know there is one person on here with a couple for sale, or did have. I can't think of his name right off the bat, I hate getting old. Depending on your house you might only need an 002. They will put out a solid 7500 watts. Rick

    New Old Warn Winch 8274 Install

    I have the older 8274 with the original motor, not the newer 3.X hp motor. It would do all of the above mentioned things. Was your winch new or used? Check all of the wire connections on the contacts in the control box. There are four solenoids in there, make sure all are clean and tight. This...

    New Old Warn Winch 8274 Install

    That winch should very easily drag that truck with all four wheels locked and dug in. If it can't then something is wrong. I woould guess the cables going to it are too small, too long, or bad connections. Like I said before, I have the very same winch and have pulled with it for 40 years until...

    A nubbie needs help

    That is what I am trying to get across to him, he better get it straightened out with what he is going to do with it because apparently he already won it. It is his. I guess you might be able to cancel before the EUC goes through but I would bet that will screw you for any future sales. They...

    A nubbie needs help

    See this thread, This guy was lucky but his circumstances were totally different. You just decided you don't want it. That is not going to fly with them. That is how any auction works, once you win the bid it is yours. If you do not pick it up within the allotted time it will be resold and you...

    New Old Warn Winch 8274 Install

    Lock the brakes and let the truck dig in till the winch just about stalls. That will simulate being stuck or being tied off and pulling someone else out. If it does not bend then you may be alright but keep in mind that very seldom do you get a straight pull. Rolling 6011 with a 7018 filler is...

    A nubbie needs help

    If you bought it through G/L and did not preview it then it does not matter if the information was right or wrong. you bought it, period. You may have to pay the penalty or you could lose the whole amount as an abandonment. You may want to get that straight real quick! Do NOT assume you will...

    Abandoned Vehicle issue Government Liquidators

    If you sent a fax then there is a paper trail. Most fax machines give you a receipt and even if it did not there will be a trail through the phone records. He can deny he got it but you can prove you sent it. It seems you do this for a business so you must have a lawyer you can consult when...
