Anybody got a cross over number for the fuel filter.....? something I can cross with say Napa or fleet Guard?

Well.....today we took out the 817 and hauled a few loads, nothing major, just rocks and a bit of dirt with brush mixed in..........seems that I'm getting the hang of getting it shifted and the truck is deffinatly loosing some of the black smoke. still loping a bit when it's cold, but it seems...

Thanks Guys! I think I see what I am doing wrong now, first I was pressing the clutch all the way to the end of the travel as I am accustomed to when driving my F-450, and second I need to get to a point where I am actually traveling on the road to allow time to work through the double clutching...

Well Guys, yesterday was the big day for me, after 7 long weeks of waiting for my euc to clear I finally got the green light and called up the man who was helping me with the recovery and the drive home. We met at the gates in Fort McCoy and he promptly set to work teaching me all I needed to...

Have you tried Heavyequipmentforums.com? It's a whole website devoted to heavy equip and resources similar to this site.

Powersmoke: I just got off the phone with my agent in Lakeville MN today and he said that Indiana Insurance Co. has provisions for this sort of policy. and that they write a lot of policies like this. Anyone in Wisc. and MN can contact me and I will be glad to put you through to my Agent...

Doghead..........that's exactly what I was wondering........

I came up with two options, one was an AG commercial policy and the other was a regular commercial policy. Both cases required that I state the intended use. I'm intending to haul heavy equipment as well, so if they give you a hard time on this point I would ask them what their major...

I wouldn't try to sell the truck to Mexico, (I'm assuming you are joking anyway) because your EUC states it will not be sold to foreign countries and the such. I think the feds would not look too kindly on this idea. What gets me is that the Gov. wants to sell the trucks, you would think that...

If I were doing the work you'd probably have money left over in your pocket......sale of firewood - labor usually equals money in the pocket!!! lol The nice thing about Google Earth is that it has sooooo many legitimate uses.... take for example in my line of work I can use those maps and...

Two points is not going to bode well .......... I know we all make mistakes, but insurance co's are not the forgiving type......that's why they sell insurance, they suspect every driver of every possible scenario imaginable and calculate the risks.......

Makes the SUV's look sort of "Mini" LOL.. great video!...... can't wait to bring mine home soon too.

Well.......don't know quite what to say about this.... are you planning on using the truck as a hobby? or for a business? State farm will insure under a farm policy.........got the green light for them. but I do have a second place that insures my business and I'm thinking a commercial...

well....the load I was planning on towing would possibly be about 43,000 Trailer..... Add the 817 to it and I would be about 68,000. (GCVW) I'm not so concerned as to whether or not I could or coudn't pull or handle the load, what concerns me more is how much weight I will have to transfer...

I wouldn't mind knowing both if possible guys......helps me to make a more informed decision. Thanks for now

Anyone know what the pintle hitch ratings are for the 817? IE: 10 ton 20 ton?

I guess progressive isn't so progressive after all...lol

I've been studying this issue here in MN and from what I understand in MN you will need a DOT number for anything over 26,001 and you will need a class A cdl for the same. The only exception is if you are farming and hauling farm related produce. Then you will need a DOT number, but you are...

One of the members here suggested I try state farm which I did, and thankfully I am able to come up with insurance through them.

I recently made contact with a truck mechanic that works at Fort McCoy, He works on the base, is trained on the trucks and has experience with driving them as well. PM me if you would like assistance with your truck.
