Do you know the size of the thick o ring so that I can call the ag place in the morning and see if they have any? I have been thinking about it and they didn't charge me for a boot. Unless that was just part of the price of the tube having no boot in that tire would doom it with a two piece...

Lost a tire due to internal cracks, headed to Boyce and bought 4 very new 14.00-20 XZLs. While I was there I picked up four 1/4 inner o rings. When I pulled one of my wheels apart there was a 3/8 o ring in a completely different configuration. A big groove and the face plate that slipped over...

Something I have wondered about idly for some time now. How many troops did the military figure a 939 with troop seats would hold? Did they have a design specification or just cram them in until it is full? Ken

Look I made a simple and effective nail catcher! That is number 3 I think. So far (knock on wood) they have all hit the steel belting and deflected along the top going sideways. I spent some time getting up close and personal with the transfer case interlock and we work much better as a team...

Can confirm 2 batteries will work. Been using truck commercially starting it half dozen times a day on 2 older 6CTA's for more than a year. Unless you desire the accuracy or have a need for a large amount of reserve power 2 is fine. When mine go I am off to Costco to buy 2 of the largest top...

Alright some lawn-side sleuthing uncovered the issue. When I tightened it down the gasket on that side slid inward about an 1/8th of an inch leaving that hole covered only by RTV with no backing. That is why it held for a few 100 miles or so then started leaking. Gear oil worked its way under...

Might have to... Ken

Ahhh, the cover isn't symmetrical, it is a little wider on one side than the other. I think I answered my own question. It got spun around at some point and I just kept putting it back on like I found it and being frustrated at the leak I couldn't stop. Brain fart. Ken EDIT: Nope it was...

I will not be able to open my pdf manuals until I get home, something I didn't think I would need just to deal with a leaking top plate. In the picture the screw driver is pointing to a threaded hole that is not totally covered by the top plate. It leaks, a lot. Am I supposed to have a plug...

If you enter the step name into google it should come up. I don't think the company sells directly to the consumer. Prices ranged from a lot to a whole bunch at the various camper sellers. We don't use ours anymore because it just didn't work for having hundreds of people on and off and it...

Full to the bursting point today! She sure rides nice with that many people on it, we should do that more often!

I have a failing trans temperature sender. You could have made some diamonds if you had coal when I looked down half way up the grade and saw the trany temp north of 260. After some testing I have been able to determine that my sender failed at set percentage off true value, like a out of...

Well that is what I am calling it. The truck was being persnickety on the tour run today. First I was trying to see if I could make it up the last big grade on the run in 1st high but looked down to see the trans temp at 255. I don't think it was that hot, didn't feel, drive or smell like it...

I also removed the linkage and pulled that washer off. Helps me a lot but I will sure take a look at that lockout because sometimes mine is a brutal beast (see picture below) and sometimes it is smooth like butter... Video of removing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxbu8CVUUrk

My tire davit sounds a bit like that if I don't pull on things with a rubber bungee. Not saying that is it but it sure is an easy thing to test. On mine it was the trolley rattling. Ken

Tour update. We are just starting our third weekend (fri-sun right now)and business is picking up if not booming. Had a few $200 days and a few we get nothing or give away rides. Assuming I work for free we are paying the fuel and maintenance bill with enough left over for some top...

You got a website for your tours? It is rough but operational. Except the email, that seems to be broken. www.nelsonoffroad.com Ken

It might be worth noting that Dex III is a 10w oil. Some of you might be running in hotter climates than I am, that might explain some of the things you describe. Others well, I think some have made up their minds one way or the other and it isn't going to change regardless. I can say that...

Thanks he is an awesome little helper. Ken

Back and forth the debate rages. I just did it to mine and the difference was astounding. This was a truck that shifted rather well mind you but now? No joke it is better than my wife's SUV. You could set a cup of coffee on the seat next to you, go from 2nd to 1st and not spill a drop...
