It is designed to fold up, hinging at the front of the box, so it takes up less space for shipping, even when loaded. The parts of the tongue that run under the box become legs for it to stand on. The dumping part, is hard on stuff like wiring, not to mention tail lights. The bed hieght and...

With a hard top, I used a web strap over the top and hooked together inside the cab, then a come-along hooked to that. I put a 2x4 along the sides of the cab, to keep the strap from collapsing the sides in. Use dowel pins, in a couple of the bolt holes, to get alignment started, when going...

That swim action, will be an issue for years to come.

VTDD is dead on! As you try to keep patching it, the risk of fire and a melt down increases. Maybe there won't even be much for us to buy. That would be a shame. Otherwise, its time or money. I bought one of those low cost, replacement harness. They will have you believe, that if you lay...

An infared thermometer is great, but just placing your hand on the exhaust port, not too long after start-up, will give you a good idea about which cylinder is doing the most work. I know that you are not supposed to idle (slow run) these machines. BUT, I learned, the only way to really set...

Most Over the Road trucks with multiple tanks, just use about a 3/4" transfer hose that is plumbed to the bottom side of the tanks. Both tanks stay the same level. It wouldn't matter which tank, the return is to. No extra wiring. Solder in a fitting on your new tank, with an outlet ball...

It sounds like your on the right track. There is more then one way, to skin a cat. Many years ago, I bought a M211, and had to drop a bunch of weight, for the same reason. I had everything stripped: duals, winch, bumper, doors, seats, etc.... finially, I just took the bed off. Had I done...

Nobody cares, and often, nobody checks...... That is right up to the time there is a problem. I would hate to have to explain why a safety device is in-op, disconnected, or by-passed, when involved in an accident where an injury or a death was involved.

Nobody likes that buzzer, but it has to be loud, in an emergency, to get your attention. Better check with DOT, in your State - They seem to be really attached to the buzzer, even if you have a light. They seem to realize too, that most Folks can get by, ignoring a light, but not the buzzer...

Transmissions/rear ends will often run hot, like several hundred degrees. That is normal when the work. Your right Moriboy. Lots of the old iron, doesn't get along with the EP additives, especially the transmissions. They call for straight mineral lub, WO the EP. One place this shows up, in...

You can get, new 9.00x16" tires for it. The bead design on the metric tire sizes (ie. 235....) is different, and is not rated for that old wheel design. If yur thinking about all that stuff, just buy an A2 trailer. Its by far cheaper, and you get a super brake system, that makes them safe...

Welcome to the site. An electric drill will run on anything... AC or DC - high or low voltage! Most thinking is: don't trust the convienience port for anything. The best thing you can do, if your going to have one of these, is to get yourself the best AD/DC clampmeter you can afford. Make...

Heavy duty straight trailer axles with dual wheels & electric brakes are commercially availiable. Check Dexter axles.

Be sure to get the second wrench! As the belt tightens, it will just want to rotate the compressor. Comdriver's companion wrench is a good match and is easy to handle.

WELCOME TO THE SITE. The MEP generators are popular here, and there are some real sharp individuals that can troubleshoot them. They should pick up the thread soon. Is one or the other half, not working, as it should?

Welcome to the site. Your starting off big time. You did right,waitint on the proper licensing! If you even get in a fender bender, it could be serious, and automatically, your fault. Best be safe! The trucks will need a good serviceing. Congrats!

You can find the rear truck plug often on Ebay/sometimes with the related wires in it. Do a search there for "military trailers". skim through that stuff and usually you will find it - sometimes it will be just single pieces - the end cover, and then the plug itelf. when buying the plug, make...

Is there anything wrong with the connection, besides the frayed insulation? Besides replacement, as above, you can sometimes put heat shrink over the ends, to tidy them up. Otherwise, heavy truck supply houses can usually make them up to your specified lengths (including the color coded ends -...

That drive shaft muct have been rattling your teeth.

Good luck!!! As far as the theft part goes, they destroyed the whole trailer! That should be Grand Theft! Big Time. Lots of folks would say that even if you found the pieces, You shouldn't repair it there! Again, Good Luck!
