    24V Battery Charger Questions, who makes a good one?

    I went with the suggested NOCO Genius 4.4 Amp 4-Bank UltraSafe Smart Battery Charger and after two years of use, no doubt the best battery charger system. Originally I was disconnecting the battery cables from between all four batteries and come to find out that was unnecessary. This battery...

    The website auctions list vehicle weight. This talk forum doesn't allow much typing time so I can't google it fast enough to give you accurate weight, but yeah its over the NC DoT required weight of 14,000 commercial insurance policy. Similar to RV status...!!! Now some members talked about...

    The tag weight limit is based to your driver license status. Tag weight registered over 26,000 you'll need Class B CDL. Combo Tractor and trailer over 26,000lbs. you'll need Class A CDL. I went to Raleigh HQ DMV because they have experience dealing with MVs. They'll run you through as if...

    Under weight ticket average cost $400 vs. RV tag almost $400 vs. weight tag for 26,000 cost $400 vs. Max gross of 41,550 (vehicle 21,550 plus max load of 20,000) pending on how crazy we may take it, cost is over $600. Most likely I would get nailed on the highway especially with custom NRA...

    Need Info from NC Members M923A2 Title, Registration, and License Plate experience...

    I went to the Raleigh DMV Headquarters for license plate. I figured I would have access to the most experienced DMV employees. They were mostly concerned about insurance based on NC requires 14,000 lbs or above weight policy and didn't really care about weighted tags to match unless I was...

    Should Sidewalls be Wavy on M923A2?

    Unfortunately no mechanical tire balancer I know of designed to handle 14.00x20R size tires. I have noticed the Michelin are more prone for the sidewalls to scallop and to a larger degree compared to Goodyear. I base this idea on 100s of M939 pictures I’ve seen in the last several weeks. When...

    Check the passenger side dashboard. A plate will have the Vehicle ID number. Generally short 8 digit number, nothing like the 17 digit VIN NC DMV generally requires. My vehicle ID was with all numbers and no letters: 2306878

    When Does a Truck get Overhauled?

    In general most buyers have good luck with drive train. Minor issues occur with batteries, 24V lights, CTIS, and tires. Rough ride on blacktop if tires are out-of-round. You can add 1/2 gallon of anti-freeze per tire for poor man tire balancing method. Be very careful dealing with 2-piece rim...

    When Does a Truck get Overhauled?

    No, I was using private vehicle manuals as a example of why the Military rebuild engines at low mileage..., because they don't keep maintenance up to manufacture's recommended standards after long periods of non-use. If you allow any vehicle to sit for long periods of time and for whatever...

    24V Battery Charger Questions, who makes a good one?

    She's running now...! Selector wasn't fully engaged into neutral. Grip lever didn't completely drop into selector neutral grove so it wasn't contacting internal switch. Thanks for all the input.
