You know it's bad when your best friend calls you at 0330 in the morning. I don't have a vehicle capable of towing the gooseneck, but I did give Ferro some ideas. I hope that he can work one of them out to take care of the problem.
I need someone to inspect a vehicle at Martinsville Indiana. PM me for details. I might also need the vehicle moved and held for a month. Willing to pay fuel costs involved.
PM me at EMD567.
Welcome from Aiken SC. Just where in SC are you? Come on down to the Ga rally, stop in and say hello( I am the good looking one that drives the ONLY M814 at the rally).:mrgreen::jumpin:
The brake fade comes from the simple fact that the drums heat up, and expand. Lots of metal to cool, so once they get hot, the braking falls off. Drive smart, use the tranny and fact that the 5 tons have the rolling ability of a brick to control your speed.
As far as overheating? Come on...
I had. Car was a 6 speed, just as Holden had built her. Way fast enough for me. Car was totaled when a female driver under the effects of narcotics, in a stolen Nissian pickup pulled out in front of me and I hit her at 37 MPH.
I tried to replace the car, but no luck. I still have nightmares...
.50cal round thru the block? Best way is E stop disconnect, and hidden fuel shutoff. Be prepared to have the batteries stolen- maybe you should take those with you!:mrgreen::jumpin::cookoo:
As dump trucks go, the M817 has a small bed for the size of the chassis. Other than that, it sounds like you understand the limits of the vehicle, so it looks like a go for you.
The 250 is **** near bullet proof. The biggest problem is making sure the fuel system is tight with no air leaks...
:mrgreen::jumpin::cookoo:Clinto, I think I have check in duty with Phil from Fla, wednesday morning. I think we need to volunteer Ferro also for check in duty- or maybe even KP!
What day and time does the person need to be picked up? If it is the right time, maybe Adam or I can ride over from DT in one of our MV's and pickup the passenger. We would have to be able to get either the 915 or my 814 in there(man would homeland sec have a cow).:mrgreen::jumpin:
