    m915a1 Allison Transmission swap for Eaton Fuller 10 Speed

    He is talking about a 915, it has air brakes, it is a road tractor, should be easy to switch over to a 10 speed, I don't see a big deal, the 400 is a standard over the road motor so a flywheel/starter should be easy to find, the 10 speed and adaptor should bolt up, I would look in a big truck...

    The last F-4 departs Davis-Monthan

    A fully armed F-4 drone would have a lot more punch then one of those "LITTLE" drones, maybe we may be getting ready to send Iran or N korea a message.

    1940 Federal 606 C2 Wrecker

    That is a early 605, a F1 tractor, you can see one of the spares sticking out behind the cab, If I had the truck, I would convert it to a 605, it would be easier then finding the aircraft recovery wrecker bed/crane/equipment

    Brakes Issue...Need Assistance Please

    Is the m/c piston going ALL THE WAY back when the peddle is released, if not the the brake fluid can NOT return to the m/c, if this is the problem, unpin the peddle linkage from the m/c, let the m/c piston seat all the way back then adjust the linkage to the peddle

    5-ton Crew Cab killing em at car shows already!

    This truck was at ZOUTS BBQ, pictures DONOT do it justice, the work INSIDE and OUT is something you have to see in person and this is from someone who thinks a bobber is one step above a wheel chock (cucv). The owner said he split the rear tub and spread it to match the rear of the front tub.

    Busted Cam Shaft

    Sounds like a BENT a valve, when the cam broke, a valve was full open, piston hit it, bending it, freezing it in the head, now when you turn it over, the piston hits it,. I would pull the offending head AND check the offending piston and rod.

    M816 brake issue

    Think it depends on how hard the brakes are set in the first place, If I just use stopping brake pressure, they release fairly easy, if I really press the brake peddle down then set them, then it takes a bit of pressure to release them
