Congrats on the new addition! Glad to hear it worked out for you. I almost didn't forward the ad to you as I wasn't sure if it had anything left that you needed. I loved how it ended up being closer to you then I thought. I hate it when someone puts an ad on CL and the location listed ain't...

Have to second what PCTrans said about a cutoff. I had a bearing failure on a 4x4 and it really messed up the inner part of the bearing where it met the axle tube. Ended up using a Dremel with a cutoff wheel to cut the inner part of the bearing as a puller would not even budge it. Just be...

Slip yoke output shaft with a slip yoke drive shaft. Edit: The problem is you can't tell if the slip joint on the drive shaft has been welded or not. If the joint has been welded then there is no issue. Ruppster

Glad to help. Did you ever get it hooked up and working? And how about pictures? :grin: Ruppster

Okay, okay. I get it. Don't ask questions. I got it. Must shut up and color. Will do. Thanks for setting me straight. If you ever come out to Tampa first round's on me. :beer: Ruppster P.S. This will be my last post on this. I have already sent a PM to the OP with an apology (did that...

That all depends on how it is registered and used. If it has commercial truck tags it can cost $75-$100 a month. If you have a good State Farm rep then you can get insurance on a non-commercial policy for $30-$60 per month. As an antique truck you can get insurance for $200-$300 a year. Ruppster

Okay, if you say so. Your use of statements like "BTW, are you arguing with me or discussing with me, this issue? it's just a word, don't trip over it." and "End of discussion. If you have a problem with how I or any moderator handles anything, be sure to contact the 2 site owners." had me...

Calm down, cowboy. Just asking. And I was just making a suggestion. Use "demand" or "require", makes no difference to me. Ruppster

Below is from the same page of rules that says "• Location: We ask that all members include their state in their new member profile. This allows the other members to know their neighbors." Edit: sorry, didn't see your full response till after I posted this reply. You altered your post while...

So you skipped Rule 1 and 2 and went right for Rule 3? Well, I guess that was one way to handle it. Ruppster

So, did this guy get a permanent ban or a temp ban as a warning? Ruppster

I thought the front driveshaft could be disabled with a shutoff modification to the air line that goes to the transfer case that tells the sprag if it's in forward or reverse? Ruppster

Well, this is just my 2 cents on the subject but I would hate to see a 900 series cut up in to a 4x4 as they are not as common as a deuce and a half. If it was me I would sell off the extra M923 to someone that wants one and use the money to buy an M35 if you want to bob a 6x6. But that's just...

Here's some parts of Title 49 pertaining to CDL's: Part 390.3: General applicability. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration The link above gives the following exception from Part 390: The requirement for a CDL is covered by part 383: Part 383: Commercial driver's license...

Okay, came across this when I was looking for something else. Question 21 asks about prize money. Interpretation for General applicability. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Ruppster

That's another gray area. Over on the ATHS forums someone posted a letter from some head honcho in the Federal highway office about this. The letter stated that cash prizes were okay to a certain point. Something about if you had to file taxes on the prize money or if the prize money was...

If I remember correctly those issues were covered in: FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY REGULATIONS, TITLE 49 I don't have a copy of the Federal rules myself. When I drove my semi truck down from Alaska I carried a copy of the Alaskan State Statutes that showed my state's requirements (or lack...

That's cool. Virginia was the same way. If you were not for hire you could drive what ever size truck and trailer you wanted. Virginia followed the Federal guidelines for the state's laws about licensing as they kept the Federal exemption from needing a CDL if the truck was for personal use. I...

Class B is for a single truck (no trailer) or a large truck with a trailer no larger then a 10,000 pound rating. Class A (combination vehicle) is for large trucks with a trailer rated at over 10,000 pounds. If the trailer is rated for 10,000 pounds or less you only need a Class B. If a CDL is...

This is a state by state issue. Some states let you drive any size truck on a regular license as long as you are not for hire while other states may require a CDL due to the truck having tandem rear axles (regardless of weight). To add insult to injury other states have non-commercial A and B...
