    new M715 project

    If your going to run the truck on the road re-centering rims needs to be spot on ,up & down & side to side inclding run out or you'll have wobble masters.

    Tank heater leaking whoes!

    Most likely changeing the rear main seal wont cure your oil leak, most likely your engine is hi-milage and its getting blow by from rings and valves......

    Tank heater leaking whoes!

    You have a cold weather leak, are your hoses new,clamps new > and 7lb cap is fine for all weather unless your in a desert inviroment. Thats all i,ve run on everything i own for 40 yrs. Big equip is well known for cold leaks. Silicone hoses works the best for solveing this but on a 715 theres none

    Buy two M715.

    I would buy both and take the pair and make 1 nice one then sell the one off you didnt build. This will make you the nicest truck and in the long run will make you the most money if you ever decide to sell it. Sometimes here it take 3-4 trucks to make 1 nice truck especially if some kid has had...
