    Info on Diesel Fuels

    I have been educated to believe 2 cycle oil at a ratio of 1 ounce per gallon of fuel pumped into the tank is a great benefit to the plungers in the hydraulic head and the injector pop off plungers. I also have been boycotting Exxon/Mobil and patronizing Hess for at least 10 years. of course...

    NO LONGER Wrecked wrecker

    Is the 819 wheel base longer than the 816? I think it is 36" longer than the wrecker, If so, consider the weight increase on the front wheels and tires. I would go with 11x24.5s in 16 ply rating, you will gain height and plys. JT out

    Disgusted with Cat 7155

    Yeah, I'm pretty glad I bought the 915A1 with the Allison, It is unbelievable how much power it puts to the ground. Got the SF 97, now it can pull my lowboy, good night Freightliner. JT

    Airpac Lubricant?

    OHT is Oil, Hydraulic Temperate. It is the Military recommended oil. But, I have learned that adding it to the plug at the rear of the air pac is not as good as adding it to the incoming airline at the front of the air pac. Adding to the rear doesn't get into the valves at all. Adding to the...

    U-bolt Size

    Well, I guess you answered your own question but, I am just finishing a 4x4 M35 conversion using the trailer suspension and I got 2 1/2 x 18 1/4 ubolts made up at the local spring shop. They are on the truck, fit just right. I do use the helper springs as the trailer did. Mount the tabs on the...

    International hood on A 915

    You brought up a great point. My 915A1 is a pain to work on, would much rather have a tilt front, I have a friend with a 4300, I will measure it up and see if it's possible. Thank you for your foresite. I'm too old to care about what's correct, I can't climb up and into as good as I used to. JT out
