    M911 HETT Questions

    Any idea of how many of these are out there in the non-mil world? What are folks using them for? And last, but not least, what sort of price range are they (I saw one sell in CA on ebay a few months ago for $17,500)? If I can't get an M123, then maybe I can get an M911....but I have no...

    Order of events?

    You won't receive a paid invoice until the EUC clears (even if it takes 2 months). An SF-97 can be filed the day after you remove it from the GL lot (I say day after because this gives them time to log that it has been removed from their possession). Basically, sit tight till the EUC clears...

    Do you have ramps for the trailer, or do folks have to provide their own? Thanks, Andy

    How slow do you go m818

    Even when towing the trailer (unloaded), I never took it out of high range. The truck had stock 11.00 x 20 NDT tires. One other thing to consider, in a different truck, unloaded, I was able to go 56 mph up I-44 from OKC to StL, and ended up boiling a lot of the rear end lube out of both...

    Salt Lake City, UT to St. Louis, MO

    I need a fifth wheel wrecker attachment transported from outside SLC, UT to St. Louis. Weight is 2500 lbs, 10' long 4' wide. Forklift loading and unloading will be provided. Can go on an open trailer, or in the back of a pick up truck. If you need to put it in an enclosed box trailer, I can...

    How slow do you go m818

    When I towed an M129A2C trailer from Jefferson City, MO to St. Louis, I got down to as low as 35 mph on I-70, going uphill. The trailer was empty, and weighed approx 15,000 lbs. With no trailer, the truck will go 54 mph on the highway with ease. I use 2nd to start rolling, and can accelerate...

    M129A2C in Jeff City, MO

    Yep, bought the trailer, and then bought the truck 2 weeks later, and hauled them home together. Why drive one of my trucks an extra 160 miles, back to Jeff City (where it came from), when I can just buy another truck and pick them both up at the same time? :-D Also brought home an M109, but I...

    1 Down 8 To Go

    Pick up a set of magnetic towing lights to put on the back of the trailer. It'll keep a bored state trooper from emptying your wallet with his ticket book. Otherwise, NICE! Andy

    HEMTT Wheel bolt torque value?

    I used dish soap on the o-ring to lubricate it, as well as on the beads of the tires (16.00's). I used a Dewalt electric impact gun to tighten the nuts, and then went around with a 1" breaker bar to give them a final tightening. Work around the bolt pattern in a star pattern, don't do one...
