215/75R/17.5 are still around but they are very weak. 245's are also around but difficult to find on the road and then big$$$. The 235's have the same rating as the 245 and are available. Clearance between tires and suspension arms are the concern, 245's make that problem worse.

I have hauled several loads on the DRS and cross country. I have the isolator chain assemblies to lift axles to move it empty which saves a lot of tire wear. Call me or text if there is anything you want to talk about. 713.409.5930 or email me HeavyHaulTrucking@Gmail.com

There is nothing you can haul without a permit on it. With my M1070 I am over 90,000# 12' wide empty. With my commercial truck, I'm under 80,000# so I am legal weight. I only use the M1070 for local moves. I built an adapter that allows me to pull the DRS behind my commercial truck. I'll attach...

I want to say the MV rally was really fun. There was so many great guys there. I want to give a special thanks to Lincoln, aka NofearNohope and to Jason Carr, aka Texas30cal. Both these guys went far beyond what anyone would have expected. I recently had bypass surgery so my physical ability is...

Thanks, I'll see you there.

I have two 24 volt head lights. I need to trade them for 12 volt headlights so anyone interested bring them, we can work something out.

Just spoke to Michael Johnson about the rally this coming weekend, March 23-25th. I will be attending bring (driving) my M1070 & M1000 from Houston. If anyone needs a lift.....including loading your prize military vehicle and worried it may not make the trip. I am willing to load it up on my...

Welcome Wildbill. Awesome looking truck. I think you will enjoy this group of enthusiast. I have not been to active myself but there is a lot of resourses on the site and happy to help when they can.

I will be loading a 188,000# cutter press next month and transporting it 325 miles That will be the longest single trip with that kind of weight I've done on the M1000. Are you going to use yours for commercial use? If you need any suggestions or inside information feel free to contact me...

Yes it was fab in my shop. Its easy and true. I believe strength is a key factor due to the wedge steering. So far no problems. I have load 200K on this trailer and no problems. The wedge steering is key but easy to line up. Do you own an DRS M1000?

Yes I also have seen this TM diagram but with speaking to the manufacture in Missouri, it is near impossible to remove it without cutting it out not to mention getting the wedge steering back in tune. Building a hat box is the best solution to converting this unit to civilian use. I have used...

I own a DRS M1000 and a couple M1070's The king pin is removable but the manufacturer told me they doubt it could be pressed out as they put them in with a 200 ton press. My solution is to build a "hat box". You will need one anyway if your wanting to pull the M1000 with a commercial truck...

I own an DRS M1000. I have talked with the people who made these and they said good luck getting g the pin out. It was pressed in with a 200 ton press. I would suggest building a "Top Hat" You will need the rise difference anyway due to the fifth wheel height differences of a commercial truck...

Cat 7155 Zen master R-Racing is the man with all the info bout Cat 7155 im him and he will reply. He has done several trannys with great success. He understands these better than anyone I've ever talked to. IMO

After story So how did it turn out? Was the rebuild a success?
