Interesting videos on YouTube of M1070 hauling logs. Anyone recognize what country it is in? http://youtu.be/VE6FChup7JA

Over 60 and still in decent shape considering the crazy/stupid stuff I subjected myself to between sports and working on the drilling rigs including helicopter jobs in Alaska for 10 years. I turned into a paper pusher the last 7 or 8 years so I need to join Patracy's Getting into Shape group...

Both of these work with PLS or MK48-MK18A1 with the hook style loader and are very close to 20' long

Right. The first 2 digits x 100 = torque rating in ft/lbs, so I'd want 16 or bigger. I have that on pallet rack, but haven't made sure it is an overdrive. It sure would be nice if the one in the cabover truck I'm parting out was big enough since it would have all the clutch, flywheel, etc...

That would be more efficient for sure, but a lot more money. I think I have a good 13 speed take out on a pallet rack out back and I'm parting out a Kenworth cabover with a 13 speed hooked up to a Detroit. (probably too light duty for the 8V92 though) And- I like the sound of the Detroit!

I've wondered how hard it would be to put an Eaton or Spicer transmission into the HET. Something like the RTLO-16713A (ratios go from 12.3 Lo-Lo to .73 overdrive) or RTO-16908LL (ratios go from 14.5 Lo-Lo to .74 overdrive) We used these in quite a few of the drilling trucks. The torque...

Like Hawssie I had wondered about an after cooler and did some research. As tim292stro says, there are lots of variations, but most of the turbo 6V92 and 8V92 Detroits have the aftercooler located below the roots blower. Some also have an intercooler in a box between the turbo and the top of...

As is posted on several threads these Detroits like straight 40 weight oil, not a multi weight and are sensitive to the ash content. The 40 weight may actually raise the idle pressure quite a bit depending on what is in truck now. Chevron's Delo 100 40 weight has been the standard for many fleet...

Infrared heat guns have become really inexpensive, I got one at Costco for about $40.00. It would be worth checking out what the temperature actually is. If it is anything over 200, it is bad news. The variables with the biggest impact on what the maximum safe temperature for a hydraulic...

Good point!

I'm glad I saw this. I'm planning to put AC in the M916A1, so I'll definitely use a condenser up in front of the radiator rather than the electric fans. AC in the MK48 is going to be quite a bit tougher. I've been planning to use the electric fan type of condenser, but I'd better check out...

There are lots of variables, but the rule of thumb is not to exceed 180 degrees F. However, the maximum temperature can be quite a bit lower lower if you have a low viscosity hyd oil. The lower viscosity is what hurts the wear parts in hydraulic pumps & motors, but high temperatures shorten...

Mixed results with that. Trucking companies want to get loaded & on their way, but don't want to get pinned down on an appointment time. Sometimes it works & sometimes not. One pretty good size trucking company with a yard in the area quit going out there because of delays in getting loaded out.

If you enlarge the image, you can read the 14.00R20 on the tire in that picture.

Here is a link to the RCW. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.04.140 It is a short one. RCW 46.04.140Commercial vehicle. "Commercial vehicle" means any vehicle the principal use of which is the transportation of commodities, merchandise, produce, freight, animals, or...

I found that other thread How-to-get-a-HET-in-life-page21 post#209. Sounds almost identical to 99nouns's post above.

I recall another post here on SS about a month ago where someone knew what it meant. Something to the effect of "Get out of the way" (a bad paraphrase of the actual translation) If you do some searching you can probably find that post. Congrats on the new ride!

I think Adobe's search tool is essential to finding what you want in the hundreds or thousands of pages of a TM. Most of the TMs are available in Adobe pdf format. Many, if not most of those pdf versions have searchable text, not just a scanned image. The Adobe search feature is invaluable...
