    All four batteries dead... Jump Start?

    I got it! Charged them one at a time, about 12 hours each at 2a. Fired right up. I'm glad I heard from y'all before I got the magic smoke. Thanks!

    All four batteries dead... Jump Start?

    Oh no! These batteries look brand new. So I need to disconnect each battery and charge it individually? It is so intricately wired in there I was nervous about disconnecting. Do I need all four to turn it over or will two do it? What is the magic smoke y'all speak of?

    All four batteries dead... Jump Start?

    I went to get in the truck Saturday to take a cruise only to find my battery switch already flipped. The only thing I can think is my son clicked it on the way out a week ago. Of course the gauges did not even click. A friend of mine with an F250 connected cables to the battery pack, got noise...

    Please help find 5-ton manual

    My truck is in the shop and had been for a few weeks. My mechanic is about done, but wanted to check a few more things. He got it where it would shift into low, but is having trouble coming out. He is thinking maybe there is a spring missing. Can anyone point in the right direction for...

    Shuttering sound/feeling

    I finally found a mechanic that seems to know the truck. I'm taking it in next week. The shudder has started happening more on short trips. In ten miles the other day it happened three times. In testing, it happens on smooth or bumps, temperature doesn't seem to make a difference, speed made no...

    Shuttering sound/feeling

    I am in the process of switching from 10w in transmission to Dex. Allison recommended I flush and fill, drive 500 miles and then drain and change filters. Another hundred miles and I'll be done. It is a rotational shudder almost like in wheels or drive train. The part I don't understand, it does...

    Shuttering sound/feeling

    You can't tell. You can feel it in the steering wheel, the truck shudders/vibrates... It does sound like it is a rolling noise. I have tried tapping brakes, down shifting, and neutral while traveling. Nothing helps, but coming to an almost complete stop, then it goes away and does not come back...

    Shuttering sound/feeling

    It seems to happen every time I drive now. Whatever the noise/shutter happens a couple of minutes after started and a couple miles down the road. I put the truck in neutral and almost stop. The shuddering stops and I continue on like nothing happened

    Shuttering sound/feeling

    This has now happened three times now. I fire up the truck, let it warm up. Drive about a mile down the road and I get a shuttering sound/ shaky feeling. The truck still goes but not full power. Almost like a shaft had came loose or an engine brake. When it happens, gas, brakes or neutral makes...

    Seals in wheels? M923a1

    Thanks! Now. Do I get the 1/4 or 3/8? My front wheel does not look the same as the one in the manual. I have tried to post pic of wheels but am having no luck.

    Seals in wheels? M923a1

    Do they need to be changed every time the tire is removed?

    Seals in wheels? M923a1

    Major brain fart. That's what I was trying to say. Do these need to be changed every time the tires are changed? To rephrase, does anyone know where I can find o-ring for 20 inch wheels on m923a1?

    Seals in wheels? M923a1

    O-Rings for 20 inch wheels, M923a1 I need to get my front tire Michelin 16.00r20 replaced. The guy at the tire shop said there was a seal in the wheels. This is a front tire and a middle one. Does anyone know what seals he is talking about and where I can get them?
