6TL batteries are junk, in my opinion. If I buy a truck that has them I get rid of them and go with commercial batteries. Much more CCA's and usually much better warranty.
Yes, the trailers have 12 and 24 volt connections. And the king pin height is level for a standard commercial tractor or a m915 type tractor. When you have a 6x6 tractor with the military fifth wheel thats when the trailers get higher.
In my case its a commercial insurance Policy, not car insurance. I have drove trucks in from California ,Arizona, Nevada, Kansas , Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, and here in New Mexico. I've been stopped by DOT, state police, and border patrol. With the paper work I had there was no issues. Of...
I always have the invoice from GL, and get a copy of the signed and dated release also. I always call progressive insurance from the GL LOT and add the truck to my policy before leaving the lot. And of corse do a through pretrip inspection ( as long as the GL rep doesn't mind). Most of my...
Thanks for the info! I just aquired a set of the Wireless magnetic tow lights at Tractor Supply. I have had double and tripples endorsement on my CDL for many years now, haven't used it much though. The vans are air over hydraulic brakes. Nice thing is at the rear there is a pintle hitch and...
Reb87 ,
Looking at the connection to the dolly and the second tanker in your pics, I don't see any air lines for brakes connected. Did you have air to the brakes on the second tanker and dolly? Also did the tanker have a electrical plug to connect for the lights or did you tap into the wiring...
I guess we are fortunate that we can buy anything at all from GL. Its a shame to see the HUMMVEES mutilated like that, even though my interests are in the "big trucks", I could surely find a good use for one or two of them. Unlike the two the local police dept has, just sitting in the same spot...
Looking for someone with a tractor that can help move two M373 van semi trailers from 91W350 (Glen's) place in Salina.
Would like to find someone in south western Kansas that could help and possibly store them until I can get there to pick them up. Really need to move them as they are in needed...
Dang, to bad your not bobtailing in a tractor! I have two semi trailers in Salina, Ks that I need to get moved to New Mexico, or possibly closer than where they currently are.
I have (2) M373 trailers in Kansas, as soon as I can get them home I'll be doing the same type of camper conversion on one of them. And i have both M915A1 and M931 tractors to pull them.
