$5 :grin:

i checked the hole and its perfect. in a pinch i used the pin from the pintle hitch and i sheared through that too but thats when the front end was buried. its def not hanging up al least that i can tell because it puts no load on the engine when im re-spooling or winching out. i just kind of...

i seem to go through shear pins like water, im obviously overestimating the abilities of my winch and im just getting frustrated. first pin was absolutely my fault, i pulled a 40 foot pine down and then tried to pull it out of the ground once on its side. rather than lining up on the side to...

could be they have always been a little out of round and the cold weather makes the tire more ridged so you feel it more. once you get moving the tire warms up a bit and feel it less so. also it could be that your developing flat spots or uneven wear.

not that im aware of, seems most of the bobbed crowd is running the 395's. as long as the truck is set up with the proper rear height you should be fine.

more people buying means higher demand and higher prices. good business honestly, makes sense that they would push for media attention, sad for us though.

this will be fun... how many people are gonna buy trucks with no idea what they are getting?

need a few things and wondered if anyone near to me could help me out. on my shopping list: 2-4 9.00-20 tires 50% or better (shipping is killer so these are the main thing) if they are mounted im willing to trade my bald/flat ones so you don't give up the wheel. wiper blades...

Oh **** YES!!

yeah i got smoked at a light the other day by a Kenworth hauling a 53' box and he didn't even know i was racing him...

Rapco or Gillespie are popular choices and are also CARC substitutes so you can retain a certain original look if you choose. i just ordered 4 gallons of Rapco and it cost ~180 shipped. the paint is cheap, its the shipping and hazmat fees that will get ya. PAINTS

as i see/understand it APC's aren't meant for towing much. get a truck, M35, M813, or some variant. then if you want one for a fun toy, do it up.

love the truck!! changing a bulb in those tail lights would be a PITA!

nice to see more members from WNY, i feel less alone. lol

thanks for the clarification BKubu

i wasn't aware of Oshkosh rebuilding the 800 series trucks but im no expert either. as for value, there are a number of factors, demand for these trucks isnt very high (collectors and some businesses) compared to how plentiful they are. also consider that rebuilt or not these are 30-40yo trucks...

i second the fix it on site. hate to see you do more damage on the trip home if it slips again.

it will be a few months before you will be seeing up close. nice win, almost bid on that one myself, kinda far drive for me but the prices up here are going up quick. congrads. buy a gauge set and start getting fluids and spares ready.

could be filling up in the air pack. mine came off the gl lot with an empty MC and no visible leaks. at some point you'll either get the rock hard petal or have dot5 flowing out the vent tube on the engine

trust me, i have no intention on breaking the rim down. my complaint simply lies in the fact that its $40 just to remove it from the truck. my air tools are at my dads, im able to do things the old fashion way lol, he is not. i figure im better investing that $40 into a socket than a one time...
