    a2 and a3 in snow

    Have not been in much deep snow , but in just 3-4 inches and some hard pack snow my A3 does well but the A2 actually got kind of squirly on me . I could feel the rearend floating around on me . I am sure the tires are the difference .

    M35A3 engine stall

    It looks tight to me , but I have seen one for sale that had 395's on it . another thing I have noticed in my search for 14.5 stock A3 tires is that they seem to be harder to find and cost more money than 395's . If I do not like the fit of the 395 on A3 I will put them on one of my A2's

    M35A3 engine stall

    I think I will try 395's for a bit more speed . if I could get 5 mph more I would be happy . Unloaded I would like my tranny to shift a little bit earlier . Tranny definitely slows the truck down without brakes . I am about due for some tires so the money is going to have to be spent weather I...

    are there any pintle hitch trailers that can hold 15.5 tons

    Pretty good deal but awfull short at 20 ft . Also narrow at 8 ft also . At 102 wide my deuce fits edge to edge . You think you could find me a 30 ft a little bit closer . By the time I get that back from CA I will have about 10,000 in it

    are there any pintle hitch trailers that can hold 15.5 tons

    I would guess much more than $6000 with the tandem axle tandem tire setup 10,000 pounds each axle . I do not think you could get one for less than $ 8-9000 new . It cost $1000 just to put new tires on it .This trailer was a 20,000 GVWR gooseneck that I turned into a tag trailer . 1995 Donahue...

    are there any pintle hitch trailers that can hold 15.5 tons

    A gooseneck trailer would put the tongue weight over the axles better , but if your truck can take the weight a pintle eye will take it . I put a pintle eye on my trailer that is rated at 15000 vertical load , 60000 load . I put one on this trailer . It will be army green this spring . This is...

It will be like guns , eventually she will loose count and they all look the same to her anyway . So when do...

    Installed remote brake reservoir today

    It appears to me that some of the reservoirs that are being installed is made out of the same plastic that the plastic line is made out of . What is your concern . If the dot 5 does not attack the plastic reservoir the line should be ok .
