Yes, but there are other reasons: A driver will need a CDL if the vehicle meets one of the following definitions of a CMV: [3] Class A - Any combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds (11,793 kg) provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds...

The requirements can be found in the a catalogs the co. manufactures tape.My parts store- PBS (Pat's Brake Service) had info in A cat. Good to review .Statement made is' I am legal'. You will notice that every big rig has it on the trailers .It is a % of toal length ,and across the back...

Torque wrenchs need to be calibrated. A pal was having trouble with his 427chevy rebuild . Main bolts would strerch like puddy. My Beam T wrench showed his Snap-On clicker was ~100lb too high Not a spacer fan.U might pass for a light duty appl. Problems are things move...Wheels bear on a stud...

Not tightened at all or not enough. Nuts stretch studs. That is how things stay tight. You have to retorque an assy like that,maybe twice. U may need more T than called for with spacers.A little may be OK but too much may be unsafe for the stud size U have. Autos will have a retorqu spec for...

My GTO w/ Flowmasters.They are 16ga steel boxes w/ V plates that focus the sound waves at various angles to cancel out noise. These have really unique sound.JimK

Road trips get hard to take after a while. Mine tows a trailer so engine screams while 30-40MPH extend driving time. Gerhard idea offers the best of both worlds, a bypass. The straight thru glasspac might be a middle of the road option, though I think my fat NAPA piece is straight thru too.The...

I am getting close to installing a large NAPA stack muffler and D turbo (inspired from a posts I saw here and cranetrucks MVM article).Anything used with a turbo needs to flow freely as any [substantial] restriction will reduce turbine speed. The farther from the engine the colder he EGT ,which...

The whistle may be caused but the turbine tips(or air vortices there) exceeding the speed of sound. The C turbine has more angular compressor wheel. The Mack I operate at work has a variable nozzle turbo. This has a ring of movable vanes in the housing (around the turbine) to contol output...

Overtightening is bad.it can create wear,cracks,even strech the metal. It is unlikely my chisled trailer nut was damaged. It was perhaps 5ft/bs (instead of 225-250). Lube on the threads effects torque. I don't remember exactly but for something like 20% for oil,30% for grease/90W, 40-50% for...

Sounds interesting.Care to elaborate? Speaking of sucking,air is not sucked into carbs. The engine creates a low presure area which is filled by the weight of all the air resting on the surface of the earth(~12 miles) pushing its way in . Same goes for when you...

Torque on that outer nut is important.Best set at spec. but better too tight than too loose. Deuce calls for 50ft/lbs while my trailer(Dexter axle)looks same but spec. is 225-250ft.lbs. That is a lot for the 2 or 3 threads the thin nut offers. I used a t-wrench. Felt fine. Must be a strong...

Don't know what you are working on.Might want to check the choke(fast idle feature).Make sure any throttle cable/linkage has some slack.You could try giving arm a push as sometimes the spring is not strong enough.Last, take off carb and make sure throttle plates seal around the edges.Usually...

Thank you.JimK

It, said -NO-service dogs.Might mean the 4 leg ones ...or personal autos?

. http://www.wingswheelsandtracks.com/Contacts.htm Yes, if it doesn't pour. What are service dogs? support vehicles? JimK

I have been using one for 2-3years(Stolly). It came from NAPA. There are 2 filters to choose from. One has a chemical cartridge inside that treats the coolant as time goes by. If you use it you may need to check the compatibility issue discussed in the NAPA catalog. The filter housing has a...

From the Aervoe site(camo paint download .pdf file). http://www.aervoe.com/productcart/pc/techdata/tech_paintsCoatings.asp For brush or dip application, no thinning required. Stir thoroughly. For spray applications, thin...

An adapter. Notes: The trucks M35A2's socket is used for 4 conductors(R turn,L turn,Ground,tail). The 24V relays in box send 12V to the trailer(R turn,L trun,tail)as needed.There is a 4th relay under the dash (for the brake lights/e-brake controller).An additional supply wire(a 3/12 ext cord)...

Not mine.This is the LDT 465.Can't remember who's.JimK
