Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra 813 8x8
No I dont think so I dont remember any seals or anything on the drum when pulling the drum off, I recall reading in the manual they say to hit the brakes a bunch of times after a water crossing to dry them out.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra 813 8x8
They are slow they are really made to haul serious weight in rough terrain, you can engage every axle and then there is another air locker switch that locks all four axles, with it being independant suspention, there isnt a truck that can touch it and it has...
