If you are using a quick start system it automatically meters the amount of ether and the system will not work if the engine temp is any higher than 20 degrees F. The military put the system on my truck and we had them on our 900 series when I was in the military. They made the system idiot...

It would help but if you have the load safely secured and are not violating the law then you are no more likely to get stopped than anyone else. I would put not for hire as the one thing that might get you pulled over is the absence of a company name and location. This is required for commercial...

I have never seen an eccentric come loose. If it did the bolt on the cam gear of the timing set would be loose also and the truck would jump time. I really think you need to check the lines from the tank or use a boat tank hooked directly to the fuel pump inlet before you start tearing the...

An engine basically works like an air pump. Restriction in the exhaust system makes the engine work harder to expel the spend gases. Also the more time the exhaust spends in the pipe the hotter it gets it. Basically a free flowing exhaust is designed to provide a minumim amount of resistance to...

I have not researched weigh stations but I would think you are also exempt. Think of a Uhaul truck. Do you think you would have to stop with a uhaul?

Print out the code and plead your case to the officer. If he goes ahead and issues a citation go to court and cite 42-2-402 to the judge or magistrate. He or she will most likely look it up in their own book then dismiss the case or find you not guilty or responsible. I would think that showing...

Hard tops are removable but not easily. The exhaust stack is designed so the upper portion detaches to make it shorter. You can also fold the windshield down and remove the troop seats. Height is 81 inches with the windshield folded down.

I am just trying to make sure you don't make a decision based bad info Crash. Get what you want but I would not hesitate getting a 5 ton based on the CDL issue. Actually getting insurance and a registration plate might tip the scales toward a deuce tractor instead of a five ton but the CDL issue...

Ok. I took the extra step to look up the Colorado CDL manual. The folowing is taken directly cut and paste from the PDF of the manual. It looks like there is a typo in the paragraph about recreational use so it is kind of hard to read. I am trying to find the actual motor vehicle code to post...

I am an officer and I do think the training is beneficial but in most states as well as federally the 26,000 lbs limit for a Commercial Driver's License only applies to a driver operating the truck commercially (not using the truck to haul your own goods or family). Some states do require a...

I had a problem with my SnoCommander (78 dodge like the M880). I was like the pump was going out from time to time. I would blow air across the inlet line to the pump and fuel would come out. After I primed it like this it would work for a while then die like it was not getting fuel. It ended up...

The requirement came from Deka. It does not matter since I did not need them but wanted to see what their price was.

I got mine with the kids to play with the military radios. Some are and some are not. Mike, You would have to check you individual states to make sure. I know most will allow one brake and tail light on historical vehicles but I am not sure on the plate light. Tennessee did not require a...

If the trailer has two air hoses then it is a new type brake system which has a break away system. When the air is on to the emergency side it fills a tank on the trailer. If the emergency line does not supply air after this the brakes automatically engage for the break away. My water buffalo is...

My local auto store could get me the batteries from Deka if I gave them a letter saying it was for government use. I work for the government so I could but I don't need any right now and they were kind of expensive.

RE: Re: RE: Abnormal 3-lever light switch We mostly turned the lights on when going from a tactical area to a regular road. We used to turn them on while driving all the time. When in a convoy we did not have time to stop and turn the lights on, but I understand that you don't go tactical much...

But your not anal on having a yellow truck? I agree with Kenny. Keep the bed with the proper truck and just swap out the winches. Not as easy but keeping the trucks right is always nice.

Saturn has them listed but sold out. Thanks anyway.

Thanks I will check it out.

If you are not operating commercially and only using to move your stuff (not to sell) then you do not need a CDL. Some states still require an Non CDL special class of license for big trucks and some require the same class of license no matter if you are operating commercially or not. In...
