With a prior commitment I can bring a new/unissued HDT Base-X 203 Tent. 14'x15'. Sorry the system will not let me upload an image but they are easily found online.

Any tips for when the strainer refuses to move? I had a 4' pipe wrench on it with enough force I was concerned about damaging the tank.

The TO-4 at napa today does say it meets c-3 and c-4 specs. I also found that rotella t1 10w meets c-3/c-4. The rotella 15w-40 only meets tes-439. tes-439 looks to be the newer off road spec. Are the newer specs backwards compatible with c-4?

simp5782 Did you need to do any major modifications to fit the radiator/oil cooler/intercooler setup? I don not mean making brackets and repluming. I mean like body lifts and all to fit under the stock hood. A coolant filter, block heater and intercooler setup were next after the transmission...

Its time to change my trans oil and filters in my 925a2. It has been running fine for the past 10 years. It came with motor oil. I'm not sure if its 10w or 15w-40 but I think I'm going to put 10w in it. I am not a big fan of the oil to oil cooler for the trans. I dont think they cool very well...

If that fit then that works for me. Thank you.

Parts sticky, google doc and misc posts list 2 different belt numbers for the 8.3L K080675 and K080680. I think last part of that is the length. What one is correct? Thank you

I'm in for 1 if they are around 2k. 3 if they are closer to 1k

Make sure the belt is run properly. Maybe its run on the wrong side of a pulley some where.

Did you get it yet?

I think my deck on my trailer is 24'. I want to try to get the tongues forward to keep the weight to the rear. My hitch is only 17000 pounds weight carrying so 1700 pound tongue weight. I'm glad to hear you guys are able to get a few of them on the deck.

My ramps are the steel ladder style so I hope the wheels roll. I'll see about some skates though for the deck.

Thank you all. All those thoughts along with the hi-lift jack idea if I want to lower the tongue are great. I forgot I even had a hi-lift. Tinstar. When you winch the trailer back words on board does the tongue float while under tension up the ramps?

Thank you doghead and jakelc15. I can do that. My question now though is how do you drop the tongue to the deck? Do you bring a floor jack? Or do you think its safe to transport the trailers tied down with the landing leg down?

I'm guessing I can pick up the tongue of a m101 but I think a m116a3 with a mep803a would be a bit heavy for me to pick up fold the leg and lower. I understand no matter how I load them that the tongue should be on the deck for transport and not on the landing leg.
