I own a Kenworth with the 8 bag kw airride suspension. They ride good but they are not good offroad. Airride suspension would work much better on a bobbed deuce though. Peterbilt and some others have toyed with front airride but it is a hybrid setup. they use a single leaf spring to locate the...

The airride suspension on that truck looks like a neway air suspension. they are very stout but i hear that they lean in high speed corners.

Thanks Richard and family for all the help given to Dad and Myself on my deuce recovery such a success. Between you doing the pickup and letting me know how the truck runs to help with the oil change to help with changing out the seats. You helped make this recovery that much more fun and...

I just recovered my m35a2 from redstone arsenal in Alabama. And drove it to Seattle, Wa. 2500mi. I kept it to around 2200 to 2300 the whole trip with no problems. Anything higher than that and the engine didn't sound happy. I agree that 50 to 52 is probably good.

I spent 2 half days working on truck to try to get the transfer case leak fixed. I left tuesday late morning and arrived home on monday arround noon. 2500 miles at approx 400 mi a day. Rooms at double occupancy ranged 65 to 73 a night. Fuel milage was 8 mpg at 50 mph across the midwest. I...

I had that deck plate off once but that would be a quick fix. It looked like new but that doesn't mean anything. Thanks for the advice. will update tonight when I stop again. Dave

Howdy my friendly green metal officianados! I made it to 30 miles west of St Louis, Mo. The truck is running good but the transfer case is leaking out or every orifice that has a seal in it. And then some. I think that the front drive output shaft seal is leaking the worst then the input...
