Turns out the tire in question is holding air. I sent a guy to the yard to swap out the bad tire and he said all he did was air it up. He went a few hours later and it was still holding. That's good enough for me to at least roll it off the trailer.
They're transporting my truck Monday. I have a tire company taking the wheel/tire from the second axle and replacing the busted front tire.
My question is will the hub drop and touch the ground on the middle axle? Or be in the way while loading?
It's a love/hate relation when I see post like this....love that you got your truck and things went okay...hate that I am still waiting for my EUC to clear.
On the trip, did you run 65 mph most of the time?
I was just told it was a M977 wheel, but didn't really care as I was more so interested in the tire. I'll have the wheel/tire early next week. I can take some measurements and maybe someone can compare it to a MTVR wheel.
I am so use to dealing with vehicles that have 4 wheels. Now that I...
So the truck I bought from auction has a busted front tire. I bought this tire and wheel off ebay, just to be able to roll the truck on/off the transport trailer. I was told it fits a M977. If not, then I can just swap the new tire on the the MTVR wheel.
I am in the same boat. Was told that my paper work was submitted. Waited a month called again to find out it wasn't and that my address on my DL didn't match what I put down on the EUC.
What kind of rpm's are you seeing running ~55mph?
Is it engine limited to 65mph or governed?
With yours being a dump, do you even have a pintle hitch? I'd like to know the height of the hitch.
If you don't mine me asking, how much is insurance?
Any major repair problems?
So in the past I've had a few hobby vehicles, a couple CUCV's and a HMMWV. I was going to buy a 5-ton, but then the 7-tons were released.
I figured there would be more interested in these trucks, but seems like they're not that popular. Am I missing something?
