it's a 900 series cab and bed but talk about a pig!!! Definatally not a true 900 series. Motor looks like a 3408 cat....dont think it's a detroit............

if you where to add the Quick connects you should try to get ahold of the tool kit off a SEE truck. They have a hydro impact, chainsaw, jackhammer...and a few other goodies that I cant quite recall.

Ever think of makeing your dump multi purpose...say dump bed/log splitter? :)

I think I rember something about this in PS magazine and I think it is a problem related to the sprague<sp>. I had this happen more than once when I was a wrecker operator and in a hurry so I didn't lift the front end.....when it did happened I would just just lift the front end and I rember the...

be careful if you mount them under the bumper, it will be a lot easier to smash them than it looks.

5,500? tell him to pound sand!!!! better off with this.... http://www.idahomotorpool.com/ these guys are still expensive in my book but the few deuces they have listed around that price are much nicer side note, in the last picture it appears he has another deuce on the the lot, you can see...

have you posted specifics on how you built your power bleeder? nevermind, I did a search and found it.....BTW design is elegantally simple!! gotta love simple inteligent engineering.

thanks, good to know 819, I never thought about the affecsts of mototr oil on the hemp core, as for the cable being stressed through a tackel block if dry I have always preferred to lube my gear, IE lube the face of the pully rather than lube the cable. Of course operateing enviroment has a lot...

you don't have to worry about the spindels breaking, I accidently launched one about 30 feet in the air(turns out the grave pile I tried to use as a emergency mire pit was actually concrete tailings) and the spindels didnt break...the front axel was U shaped and the block was cracked where the...

there are also many thoughts on how to maintain your cable and tackel. If I rember correctally the TM's and and FM's call for GAA on the winch cable to prevent corrison. The main preoblem I gave found with this is any heavy grease you apply to a winch cable tends to hold dirt and grit in the...

so that is what that thing sitting in the tool cage was, we never knew it was a tranny hoist!! we just used to use the boom on my 543A2 and beleive it or not from 93 to 97 I was driveing a 543A2 on active duty, then they upgraded me to an 816. :)

you know....you dont need to actually seperate the tires from the hub, to save yourself some time remove the axel.....remove the outer lock nut..... jack up the axel just far enough to get a " grease pig" (grease pig is anything that can greased up and used to slide the tire/hub combo...

as long as you have good connector's you can make yourself a 20 footer. The ends of the slave cable are actually repairable and you could easily extend an 11FT set by replaceing the cable. There is also an adapter available to adapt the newer style slave cable to the older 2 pin recpticle if it...

it's not difficult to do, it's actually easier getting to the bellhousing bolts than on most civilian vehicles, just make sure you have an alignment tool for the disc!!!!! save yourself a lot of time and pain.
