Men with bomb trucks that have nice seats are irresistible to the girls.

Nice re-purposing....looks very comfortable.

So you are saying that in Michigan they can arrest or cite you for being over and not having brakes without ever getting out a scale, ...all done from the tag? We learn something new every day.

Learned something. I thought it was single axle exempt, but the weight limit in Indiana is also 3000# to be exempt. The spec I have says they weigh 2650#.

"your to cheap to put brakes on a trailer" You sure do like to get nasty, Porky....not a nice fellow. My state does not require brakes on a single axle trailer and empty, is not beyond the GVW. It's not a regular thing and I'm fully insured. I would advise against trying to bring the...

Kflash....."Any idea of the size I need?" Why not just take the cap off and measure the diameter of the shaft. Since you know it's missing, you must have access. Most hardwares have thin machine washers.

He might find a complete M105 with nice tires, ready to use, as cheap as a couple tires.

If I were not so far, I'd make a deal for a 105 trailer. I want another for parts and a good bed. I was trying to keep up with three trucks and found it was too much. Two nearly is...but my fun is in the build so I tell myself that the many unfinished (money sucking) projects are really just...

It's an interesting unit because part of it turns all the time and must be lubed. You have to use it, not just hang it on the truck like our newer ones that will fully disengage, because you are introducing some parasitic drag just by putting it on the truck. Like maybe a truck only used for...

Whatadeuce, I hope you see the irony/humor of talking about finding a good mechanic.... with the picture of your truck on the axle. I'm still laughing with you, though at the time, you probably didn't laugh. Did the damage on your housing and hub clean up to put on new bearings, seals and...

I only suggest cleaning the control because on mine, there has always been a lot of water and debris in it and it is the source for debris in the unloader. Yes, agree that it takes pressure to make the unloader operate but at some point, when it does, that plunger can stick down and not...

Rusty, just to let you know, I contacted Coan first because they are in Kokomo, about 40 miles from me. They were less than helpful. While they stock the 4L80 fourth clutch pack for high performance, they knew absolutely nothing about Allison and were not willing to let me compare parts, even...

I put my method of dealing with this problem on the Deuce thread where the OP originally posted (didn't see he duplicated the post). I have had several trucks with the unloader stuck open, making it unable to build pressure. Wes, remember that the unloader is pushing a plunger that keeps...

You do realize how hard a tight turn will be with a front locker like that (not air), don't you? Hope you have lockout hubs.

Sure, you are on the wrong forum, but here is my opinion. See the 1/4" line that comes out of the top of the compressor. Follow it up to the controller on the firewall, toward the passenger side. The control is about the size of a fist and has a plastic cap covering an adjusting screw. The...

Thanks Rusty. We have Joe's 1545 apart and just got the master rebuild kit. We will have the OEM aluminum piston in a day or two. I called Joe and explained. Since we have new OEM steels, frictions, seals and piston, I gave him the option of being the first or just continuing to have new...

Thanks cwc. I was thinking the entire engine tranny assembly. It seems there are controllers that have improved and might not be too cost prohibitive. I'm not sure if I could use the van brain....that might be tooo complicated. After reading this thread and thinking about it's great info...

G, so you have eliminated the deuce with Spicer, right? What 5-ton are you referring to, the 809 series with 6352 and 6453? It does not fit the 939.

oops, duplicate

Rusty, what is the Ford alternative? I have an 2003 E450 mini bus with (I think) the 7.3. It has a broken rod. Not sure of tranny. My friend had a lot of miles on his in his PU.
