It is the 5-ton. Thanks, I keep forgetting the 800 series data plates did say 10 tons on highway and the suspension hasn't changed on to the M939 series.

Took my truck for a small load (5 tons) of limestone for the driveway into a property I have. Stopped on the way at Pilot to get fuel before it hits $4/gal. and my air pressure was holding at 90 psi. The secondary held at 90 but the primary dropped to 80 when I hit the brakes to ease out on...

Welcome from just up the river.

Still waiting on SF-97s (or some communication!) for two HMMWVs I won in June. Actions like this has kept me from even bidding for several months now. Why buy something that you can't even prove you own, let alone get titled.

I cheated!

With ebay/paypal fees most do overinflate prices, for understandable reason. Especially if they have a lot of overhead, unlike myself who has minimal.

On the three M1101/1102s I have not had a brake locking issue while backing. Now for the M101A2, well that was interesting trying to back up with a load. I didn't know of the pin at the time and was very confused as to what the heck was happening.

Gonna take a lot to get them as nice as you have that truck!

Worked it hard yesterday. Maxed out trailer and truck putting 2700 lbs. on each. Braked good and handled turns descently. Still felt I had to ease off for turns and kept a very clear distance from vehicles in front of me. The M1008 did great with the only fail being a rim bolt pop on the HMMWV...

Hauled 2700 lbs. with an M1102. It didn't even lower but maybe two inches with the weight. The trailer followed behind nicely and braked very well too.

My 4 door is prior NG and has them. My 2 door was in the same unit but does not have them.

Sharp M1009!

That really made me feel like a dog chasing his tail!

You can almost always tell if a center pin is sheared if the vehicle is "dogtracking". That is when the rear axle don't follow directly behind the front axle, causing the vehicle to "walk" crooked. Then one has to measure spacing of each axle between the tire and fender (or tire and bedside on...

Nice

Even pulling a M105 with an M939 truck has issues. The trailer is too narrow to see when backing (by the time you do see it when backing, it is already starting to jacknife). Being so short, it jacknifes very quick, and with an ABS equipped power unit pulling a non ABS trailer, it is very hard...

Yes, OTC is high quality!

It works to break free corroded fastners. It "creeps".

Be careful of the slosh effect if the tank isn't full. Not sure if them tanks have baffles to reduce the slosh effect or not.

Ok. Nevermind on the early shifts. I think it was hitting 2nd and just smoothly hit 3rd and I wasn't feeling it. When empty it hits 3rd hard. Forgot pic too.
