RE: Re: RE: 5 ton v.s. duece To hit your the original questions, turning radius? About 10 more feet total. But power steering really helps, all have this, two differeing types one is boosted one is hydro-steer (newer) top speed? Rated 52 MPH, those with super singles get 60+. Squirt is an...

Chris, Trish, Squirt-Truck here, Is the truck at your place in Acworth? Or is it in Tallapoosa? I can get to your place to check out the brakes this weekend if Acworth, or Lil-Squirt canalways tow her to the shop. Lets try to coordinate a site inspection and potential repair first. I will be...

Can someone clarify why the manual gives a caster angle of 3 degrees and a kingpin inclination of 8 degrees? (Yes I know that these are specs from a 5 ton but I assume that the overall alighment specifications are similar are am I way out behind something green....) Is this issue, having the...

Guys, I know there have been several posts on dealing with the steering knuckle boots, mainly due to problems with the replacements cracking, or being old stock that failed shortly after installation. Several sources were listed for replacements. Well, Squirt has blown one of her 17 year old...

Please let us know if anyone locates a hub (viscous, air, or electric) that will fit the multi water pump pulley bolt pattern. My electric fan does just fine except when pulling a full load in the mountains in the lower gears. It does need more CFM, but unless loaded works just fine.

There are shims required for that carb. THe cover has to seal the bowl and the lowercover. Remove some of the body shims. That is why they are there.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Winch brake grrr.. -DDoyle don Sorry to be the fly in this ointment, but...the "back brake" is SPECIFICALLY to hold the load in the event of a shear pin failure, or depressing the clutch. ot knocking the PTO out of gear. You do not power through the back brake...

RE: gmc spare tire mount Does the spare not hang at the same level as the fuel tank?????

Try right front frame rail for the numbers, the GMC's were on the right side. My M-54 is marked on the right frame rail not the left.

Your beat test of the winch on an M-35 is to anchor the cable to a solid object, with an unloaded M-35 the 10,000# winch will drag it with all 10 tires locked. The M-35 only has roughly 6000# of pull resistance even on asphault. Now buried to the hubs or deeper is another story. Do NOT perform...

Plan to be there with Squirt Truck, Dumpster, and another mule. (will even have the lil-pickup for ground transport) We plan to be there mid afternoon Friday. We are meeting in Marietta to convoy down. Anyone in that immediate area need someting hauled? We can leave the lil-pickup if someone...

What is the issue (again) with the brakes?

Cranetruck, What is so special about the 465-2 hoses that you can not use straight hose and metal bends, like the GMC's did, or the M-39 series gassers? Pre formed metal turns are a shelf item with most good hose manufacturers. Try going to Federal Hose for example. (By the way if you go with...

Use silicone hoses and there is no issue.....ever.....

M35A1 sitting less than 1/2 mile from me right now. THe guy that has it is skeered to drive it (just nuts). Complete with canvas and all....

Clinto, Unless the creek rises I plan to be there, might even see if Jeff will bring the M-51 Squirt-Truck

RE: M818 Joe, The brakes will be just fine as PAPERCU indicated. (That is itself is a seriously mis-understood item.) They will need to be maintained and the adjustment is a little more than adjusting slacks. The power steering, well, the "old" style is a Ross Hydrapower, spool valve and power...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: THIS CLUTCH TOO!!!!! What did ya'll ever determine was the issues here. Nosie truckers want to know.....
