How was bobbing a 5 ton easier than bobbing a deuce? I'm looking at both options right now myself, so I'm interested in your experience with this task. TW. Nice looking truck BTW.

Are you possibly missing the CTIS cover? You know the large triangular cover that is mounted to the outside of the wheel. Having not seen how much plumbing (mass) is under the cover, I can't imagine that any wheel could be in balance with a cover on, much less when one is missing.

To clarify my earlier posting. A genset with new looking paint and stencils that has an hour meter showing low hours probably does have low hours. Has the unit been rebuilt? I can't say without a pre-view. A friend purchased a MEP-003 a couple of months ago with two hours on meter. He paid a...

Can't tell from the photo if the generator is a two or four cylinder version, but both engines are made by Onan. The MEP-002a is the two cylinder version, 5 Kw rated @ 80% power factor. The MEP-003a is the four cylinder version, 10 Kw rated @ 80% power factor. Both generators produce...

I looked at a pile of M35A3 located in North Carolina on GL , saved them to my watch list, then poof, all gone. GL's advertisement iin the upper left corner just showed one of the trucks, clicked the link only to receive this message No Lot Found at Government Liquidation Did GL get a better...

Yep, 410 miles one way. If that truck would have had a hardtop it would have been mine. The truck handles like a dream on 11.00X20 commercial singles. I hate NDCC tires. The big plus on the commecial tires are that they grip the road when wet unlike the NDCC's. The radial tires smooth out...

AmericanSteelWmn, Late last year I traded for a Dodge van that had a wheel chair lift made by CrowRiver. The CrowRiver lift varies from other lifts as they use a single column lifting mechanism that can be mounted either on the left of right side of the vehicle. By modifying the lift arms you...

Sorry Surfdog, but I think I cost you another couple hundred bucks on that truck. I wanted that one but not $2400 worth.

A two inch wide ratcheting strap wrapped around the tire to deform the tire so that it seals on the bead also works well. Use the largest diameter , shortest air hose that you have , so that you have both pressure and volume. While airing up the tire, as soon as the tires no longer leaks at...

Install a heli-coil and call it a day. You will have to remove the axle, but unless you want to tap to the next larger fine thread size and install a larger bolt, which I would not do. Installation tool MSC Item Detail Inserts MSC Item Detail In smaller sizes you can purchase a kit that...

The hubs are priced @ $475 EACH not a pair. My concern is that aluminum might have issues with the side loads generated especially when used with LARGE tires and 150 lb Hemmt wheels. A friends lifted truck has broken a hub at the flange when using 16.00 X 20 tires while using the truck...

You might look at one of these lifts from Bruno. BRUNO AWL-150 Electric Wheelchair Lift for Vans - eBay (item 200336761478 end time Jun-27-09 09:24:23 PDT) They are intended for lifting power scooters into vehicles. The one pictured is rated to lift 150lbs, but they make higher load rated...

Here goes. What weight rating for tags do you presently have? Until you go over 26,000lbs you don't have to have a class B license. As already posted, you are not hauling commercially, so as long as you don't go over 26,000 lbs you don't require a class B license. Class A Any...

I think you need a bellhousinig from a 5 ton as the M35 uses a small bolt pattern verses the large bolt pattern of the Fuller transmission. Unless your transmission has overdrive for 11-13 speed, the only thing you gain is a tighter ratio between gears.

I've had one sitting the GL's queue for almost two weeks. The only thing I had to enter was the lot number and intended use. I did both chat and called, but it's still sitting in limbo. They (GL) acknowledge that they received it. Pretty soon I'm going to send GL a demand letter that they...

Avn-Tech, I don't agree. This appears to be a case of theft through deception. The person that received the knowingly wrong trailer could be charged since he knew or reasonably knew that he received the wrong piece of equipment. nonpro, Make sure that you also file a complaint with...

The local transit company on ocassion would flat tow one of their tranist buses into Johnson & Towers to have either the Detroit diesel or Allison transmission repaired under warranty. After cost themselves hunderds of thousands of dollars in additional damages they have since stopped flat...

If the tow truck driver is flat towing the truck, what's wrong with him? Have him wrap his chains around the springs and lift the front end off the ground and go for the gold. There is no way that I would flat tow any vehicle more than a couple hundred yards if I could get under it and lift...

The government uses a series of rust preservatives certified to Mil-C-16173. I use Tectyl 502 which dries (actually stays somewhat sticky to the touch) to a waxy film. Daubert Chemical makes rust proofing products intended for automotive use. My best guess for an older vehicle would be...

I didn't think that the PRK allowed such things. A deuce, a shorty AR and AK-74, you are so politically incorrect, I like it.
