Whoa! Ok. Old spec was 80, then the TM changed to 90. So old spec was better? Sounds like 75 dead cold cold cold. Probably hit 85 maybe 90 hot rule of thumb is 10 percent cold to hot. Going to try this first thing tomorrow and keep careful eye on the tires. Hey maybe it'll ride better too!

Yep. Lesson learned. I was pretty worried about the batteries. Another thing about cold weather: tire pressure. Every morning I do my checks and this morning set all tires at 90 per spec but it was stupid cold. Got 50 Mike's down the road and checked hot they were at 110. So I let them back down...

Just kept going yesterday. Slept in the cab at a truck stop again. So cold it killed my cel phone and I had to use the ether start. 1316 miles in two days!!! I feel pretty beat at this point. Late start and roadside repairs in there. The reward is less than 250 miles today. Going to treat myself...

Greetings from Nebraska! Lost a wet tank air line and hung it up at 0300. Got 5 little winks, made friends, made repairs, back on the road! There's more to the story I'll post when I get home. Shooting for 500 a day in one of these is a chore! Did just over that between 1300 and 0100 yesterday...

I would be inclined to stick a gauge on the system and see what the static hydraulic pressure is. I have no idea what the spec is. I've chased my tail on systems because of a piece of junk stuck in a relief valve. Besides that it's good to have a test point for adjustments. If you do find a...

Gentlemen thank you for the input. Very helpful. Flying day today all day. Pickup tomorrow. Will try to post from the road!

On the list for sure. Good lights have been some of the best investments I've made in any vehicle. Thanks for posting.

Well when you do come up with something please share. At 5'11" and 135# I can use all the help I can get! Low mass guy in a high leverage world......

I'd like to stay off the interstate but I don't think that's an option this trip. I'm just going to have to poke along in the slow lane. I've done the LAB2V a few times and taken the bailouts along I10 it can't be worse than having a semi blow past you at 75mph on a 300# dirt bike doing 50mph...

Wow thanks for the replies! It's good to hear folks have done this without too much issue. Going through the threads the stories are all over the place. The truck is basically as bought reworked. Has 2k miles and 700 of that was the old owner driving it home. It's been stored inside, never...

Well I was going to ship my new purchase but then I found myself in a place to burn some vacation time so decided to drive it and save a pile of dough (maybe). I bought a mint condition M936A2 and will be putting more miles coming home than it has on the clock but hey; what's the fun in keeping...
