    questions about dropping the tranny

    I have seen one or two guys reach in to the cab with a engine hoist and lowered it that way. I have also seen people use a tool that looked like it was deisgned for it it had a small frame that sat over the tranny and it lowered with a hand winch I think. Hope this helps.

    M818 Drivers Question?

    Sometimes the trailer kingpin will be bound on the jaws of the fifth wheel you should try using the trolly valve to hold the trailer brakes and back the truck up a little that might work. And you should grease the surface of the fifth wheel when not under a trailer I am just concerned that you...

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    I did a little ramp workup myself granted it is not as nice. I am planning on 1"x1"x1/4" angle iron for the ramp material. They should be about 20' long and fold in half. Still have not worked out the support yet. I really wanted longer ramps because the 10' long one made from double 2"x10"x10'...
