You would need a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed for traction for pulling up a wet incline. Does it have an air shift transfer case or is it a Sprag? With the air shift you can lock in the front axle before you need the extra traction. The duals on front are overkill and not good for...
Are you interested in some movie work. Seriously, I'm looking for armor for some upcoming movies. We can prob shoot key scenes without transporting the vehicles if you have some space.
You can get anything stuck. The problem with getting a big truck stuck is that it usually requires a bigger truck (depending on how bad it's stuck) or a large piece of heavy equipment to get it unstuck.
Also most people tend to keep trying to get unstuck and dig themselves in deeper. When you...
Next weekend (April 4th and 5th) is the Dixie Division of the MVPA's Spring Show at the Battleship Alabama near Mobile. MVPA members from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and other states will be there for our biggest event of the year. There will also be a lot of Steel Soldiers members...
Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy.:cookoo:
Don't say we didn't warn you.
Several of the Ohio delegates make the trip to the GA Rally in October. Last year we had over 100 prime movers, assorted trailers and other green iron. We set up a Military Kitchen Trailer and cook most of the...
Because I am a constant victim of Mr. Murphy I always disconnect the batteries prior to charging. Since I have two large chargers I set them up in the cab and slow charge two at a time and test them with a multi-meter. It usually takes me a couple of days to get them to full charge. I have done...
I used my M275 on a couple of trailer recoveries from Redstone. On flat ground with a step deck van trailer I had the speedo buried. That tractor ran like a striped arsed ape. I have an LDS engine and a set of 1100x20's for it but with all the projects I have going I don't have time (or shop) to...
Ahhhhhh Grasshopper.....you must become one with your deuce, you must revel in the slowness, the aerodynamics of a concrete block, the mind numbing vibration when running wide open on the highway for long distances. Become a MV machochist. Read Gimpy Robs "Zen and the Love of a Deuce".
The cheapest I have seen a HETT sell for is around 8k out in Kansas last year. The GL description said "Driven on to lot", according to the speedo it had less than 1000 miles on it. A few weeks ago some sold at Fort Benning, GA for an average of 11K. Prices vary a lot depending on how many are...
If the TF case was not in neutral chances are that something was damaged. If there is an Allison dealer near you call them and ask what the worst case scenario is.
I'm assuming (yea I know) that this is not a well traveled road with a lot of people living along it.
There is the slight possibility that it was stolen from a military installation and abandoned when the person who liberated it got cold feet.
When I was at Fort Benning they had them parked...
A guy called me today that bought a deuce cargo cover at Fort Stewart, GA. He was bidding on other stuff that he didn't get and is willing to give the cover to anyone that wants it. Call John at 203-448-6648 for details.
If you have the 8.3 Cummins are you making sure the fuel shutoff solenoid is working. This has been a persistent problem with these trucks since they were fielded. The silver nub at the bottom left of the solenoid should retract when you turn on the battery switch. If it doesn't retract then the...
