Here in Illinois you can't get a collector plate for a truck over 8000 Lbs. You can register it as a RV if the proper mods are done, otherwise a commercial plate/CDL is required.
Thanks for the info - I hit the wrong key and meant to compare the 931A2 to M931A1 - but I get the general differences now. Main reason was that I was curious why the A2 seems to be more sought after. Must be the CTIS - I didn't thing the nhc250 was a bad motor?????
Thanks

Wow - interesting thread. I have taken more than a few road trips to pick up stuff and despite a lot of preparation almost never had a trip go by without some problems. That's the main reason my wife won't take any more trips with me. With so many items being purchased by GL etc and moved by...

Get yourself a couple of 3 or 5 ton power pullers. I have seen some cheap 5 tonners for about $60. Wyeth-Scott makes a very high quality 3 ton puller, but you need to be prepared for the sticker shock! It is a 2 man to three man job. Make sure you have a safety chain to keep the truck from...
When I saw that one up for sale it looked to be in pretty good shape to me. I wouldn't rule out driving it home. Take the VIN to your KW dealer and find out how it was outfitted - looked like an allison but not sure about the engine. Get filters and fluids and new batteries and see if you...
