    I notice the head on yours is different than the one in my picture.

    I tapped my broken one out with an Allen wrench and a hammer.

    M989 vs M989a1

    Nope. I've done that. These are worse.

    1969 M35A2 West Mitten

    Something to consider is that on the interstate there's always an easy way for people to pass. On 2lane, you run a much higher risk of someone attempting to pass where it isn't safe to do so. Safety glasses are also recommended. Be sure and take pics at every stop! Enjoy!

    M989 vs M989a1

    They assuredly are not the same wheels and tires as a HEMTT. It cannot be overstated just how difficult these things are to back up. They're more difficult to back than doubles. You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. If you get into something tight and have to back, you're going to unhook...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Did you have it connected via alligator clamps, or hardwired in, or connected to the slave port? This is the charger that makes a maximum of 4 amps at 24v, right? And trickles off from there as the batteries become charged? What kind, and how many batteries? How old?

    Cost of rear main seal replacement on an 8.3?

    This is a bigger deal than it sounds like. Personally, I'd be tempted to pour it in faster than it comes out unless you have a really bad leak. Changing to synthetic was a bad idea. Of course you know that *now*.... The gasket/seal involving the oil pan is continuous or at least interrelated...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Please be sure and follow up and let us know the results. I've got that exact model battery charger on several of my trucks and gensets. In fact, I've sold more than a handful of those here on steelsoldiers.com to fellow members. This is the first instance of a problem that I've seen.

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    The federal requirement is only applicable when engaged in interstate commerce. And it kicks in for even a pickup truck with a 10,001lb trailer if you are in fact engaged in commerce. In AZ for example, antique military vehicles are specifically and explicitly excluded from requiring a CDL...

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    You've made a bunch of assertions that are specific to California and even more specific to your experience within California. They don't apply elsewhere. They're merely one data point on a spectrum of data points. Many states don't require anything but a normal driver license for a...

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    Maybe, but they're going to hate it. It's really not similar to modern commercial truck designs. I'd rent a truck and trailer. Give them something plain vanilla that they're used to dealing with.

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    Air brakes would be a direct connect, and possibly provide springbrake emergency brakes as well. LED lights would allow for using 12v or 24v. I haven't compared deuce pintle height to dump truck pintle height. It's going to be at least somewhat close or better.
