Skepticism is warranted when talking about EUC approval dates. I wouldn't schedule vacation time etc until you actually have approval.

In the yellow frequently means charged batteries but charging system INOP.

Tires look fine to me. I'd carry spares, but run those. Weigh stations along the first part of your route want you to stop, commercial or not. (Ask me how I know...) It'll be an adventure. Enjoy!

No... either travel is limtied by contact with the bed, or by contact with bumpstops. Using the bumpstops as the limiter prevents tires from being shredded. No bed, or spacer between the frame and the bed will allow additional travel. Thing is, articulation is but one variable among many...

Or alter your bump stops to limit articulation so the tires won't contact the bed.

This varies. I've seen them both ways. Sometimes they're labeled. Back to the brake symptoms - I've experienced similar except for the hard pedal. Are you losing fluid out the vent under the hood?

Using hemtt rims on the front of 818's requires either replacement of the wheelstuds with longer ones or the use of offset lugnuts.

I want run-flats for me. I encourage everyone to use them. A steer tire blowout is an experience.... That said, the blowout that was the most difficult for me to control was driver side middle axle. Super single M923A2 with an M925A1 on towbars behind it. Both trucks were loaded. Speed...

I disagree. Just because something is a good idea isn't sufficient justification to mandate it.

Ever tow a trailer with insufficient tongue/pin weight? It will make a lasting impression. You'll only do it once, either because you'll be convinced or dead... There's a good YouTube video illustrating it. I'll see if I can find it and add it here. Edit to add - https://i.gifer.com/8knb.gif

Detailed answer including pics of a deuce on a 22GN here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?179868-Newly-purchased-an-M35A2-trailer-towbar-Houston-Area If your equipment trailer is ony rated 16-17k GVWR it's going to be overloaded as well. But the 22GN is rated 22.5k so it would be...

They look good. Why would you expect to get into the low 30s for mpg? I would anticipate your mpg to be essentially unchanged. Any gains in gearing and reduction in unsprung weight will be more than offset by aerodynamics and rolling resistance. Speculation on my part, informed by...

The tongue weight is going to be substantially more than listed, due to the fact that it's going to be severely nose down. The bare trailer is 2440lbs. The genset is north of 3000lbs. I don't think it's legal anywhere behind a pickup truck, as you'll have no trailer brakes. Legal be...

Please don't hack up a LWB A2 truck... they're worth a premium. If you want a bobbed truck, sell your LWB truck, buy a standard cargo or tractor length A2 truck, pocket $4k or so in value difference, then hack that one up. The end result is the same, except you'll have an extra $4k. Dropping...

Am I buying? Or am I selling? If I'm buying, I want it for about $3k. That gives me good axles and a rolling chassis to work from. Since it's far from stock already I can stick a Cummins in it and probably sell it at close to break even on the investment, with the gas engine left over to be...

Ranchhopper did a digital camo paint job that looked pretty good. In your climate (WI) I'd worry about applying bedliner. The potential to rust away underneath strikes me as pretty high...

Brakes enough to get it on a trailer? The parking brake combined with low range and shut off the engine when it's where you want it. Brakes enough to drive it on the road? No...

You're getting fluid in the air side, and air in the fluid side. I don't know at what point the airpack will stop boosting, but I strongly suspect your pedal will go to the floor with no braking effect well before that happens. I'd replace the airpac before badness ensues. I think...

I speculate that your fluid is going into the air pack. I had similar symptoms and it was resolved by replacing the air pack.
