    M52A2 brake problems

    Did you VERIFY that the piston in the M/C goes all the back, sometimes a new m/c will need the linkage adjusted, WITHOUT the engine running, (no air) does the brakes release after being applied, if they do then the problem is in the airpack or the vented gladhand, could have a mud dobber nest in...

    33x10.50r15 BFG all terrain

    10.5 on a stock rim seem awful wide for a stock rim, What you describe sure sounds like to much air OR to small a rim, I have run into this with rear tires on pickups, If dropping the air didn't help, a wider rim fixed the problem.

    Anyone have pics of a pioneer rack on a M923

    Before you prune, think like the trucks crew, what would they "collect" for the truck, things to make life eaiser, a bit better crew potection, things to barter with to get goodies they need/want, extra chains/binders, ect., every truck has a different collection, most truck crews have a problem...

    This past winter I had rat problems in my and Swiss's truck, they were eating a WEDGE of decon a day, for about 10 days I was replacing decon everyday, my thoughts on this was "if the rats were hungry, feed them, I did not want pita to charge me with starving rats" after the first ten day the...

    winch problems

    There is a load on the drum clutch, move the winch drive back and forth to remove the load, check and make sure the drum lock is not engaged with the drum clutch engaged, this also will bind things up when turning by hand and break things when turned with power.

    M820 Conversion

    Think I would find a NEW mechanic, was any other fluids drained, I still would answer the question BEFORE putting the truck on the road. You have a VERY heavy truck with a SINGLE circut hyd. brakes, this means if ANYTHING goes out you have NO BRAKES.

    M820 Conversion

    WHY did you need BRAKE FLUID, it HAD to go somewhere, brake fluid DOES NOT evaporate. I would ANSWER this question BEFORE you put the truck ON THE ROAD again.
