    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    That's awesome! A few common issues I've seen so far with the trucks coming out of Barstow are: 1. The front hubs have water in them. See the videos I have posted. 2. The air dryer purge valve seems to stick open and drain air. This can be temporarily fixed with adding a small rubber washer...

    Damanged planetary hub on MTVR

    I pulled off the hub to replace a bad seal and found this. The best I can tell is the the a planetary gear got hot and seized which spun its axle. The reason I think that is because there were no large debris. I guess a large chunk could have gotten ground up into fine particles or it drained...

    Video of mounting and unmounting a 16.00 on a 2 piece wheel.

    I made a video showing a couple tricks to mounting a Michelin ZXL on a wheel with a bead lock. The hi lift jack and ratchet strap to the rafters is the best method I've found. Sorry for the poor quality video. I'm not the best with a camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWAb41hbNHI Here is a...

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Allison Automatic on 5 ton M923A2

    If you have a 1/2" now, adjust it until its tight at WOT and go from there. Its trial and error until you get it to shift where you like it.

    Allison Automatic on 5 ton M923A2

    Make sure the cable slides easily and aim for 3/8" slack at WOT

    2019 SoCal Fall Rally

    Its not looking good for Devin and I. His transfer case is whining, I sold my 5 ton and haven't picked up my 7 ton yet. Maybe we'll come up in a pickup truck and drink all your beer

    24V jump box

    Great idea. Isn't it a little hard on the charging system to continuously jump start a vehicle?

    Going to look at my first m923 today. What do I need to be aware of?

    Where is the truck located? Someone local might be able to check out the truck with you
