    nhc250 manual versions

    I've read here that the TM available is for the newer NHC-250, and that the M800 series uses an older engine. Can anyone verify this, and if so, how do I get the manual for the NHC-250 in the 800 series trucks? I want to learn everything possible about the engine.

    Happy Halloween

    My kidz make their own costumes with what they find under the house. They're not up to decorating the truck yet. I like those lights alot. How did you mount the punkins, with a flange?

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    About the radium, it burns the paint after some time, and even in the very dark, the glow might not be seen. However, under a microscope, occasional blue flashes can be seen even if the paint is dead. Geiger's better though. The rules in general are don't take it apart, don't scrape off the pait...

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    Mine do. honestly, if it is the harmless tritium, there should be no issue, but things being as they are, some clown always louses things up. Tritium will have thin glass ampoules in the hands and marks. If they have the old radium paint dials, they are safe enough if completely intact, just...

    long wheelbase 4x4 deuce

    I have seen this same thing but no troop racks, as a m35. not bobbed. The rear-rear was kept. M105 bed. 4-door cab. It was sleek and sexy. It is in Dallas, and no one has fessed up to it. If they are so ashamed of it, I can take it off their hands.

    texas rally anyone???

    I've got to reserve vacation time for a project, so would prefer to travel no more that 100 miles or so. But never mind that, either I could make it or not. If you guys decide, I'll try to make it.

    Through Shaft axle seal leak repair

    I notice in the manual, they want you to pull more stuff, like the retainer and the shims. Can you please explain about this? If I do not have to pull the retainer and disturb the shims and the rest, I would rather not. Or is there something I am missing? Mine is on the front (driven) side...

    Manuals for 6453 Trans.

    It is not the one for the Cummins in the 800 series? one dream would be to swap the cummins out of an 800 series and put in an equally powerful 2500RPM engine.. woo-hoo! Then a person could pass more than just that 10-wheel crane going down the road. In seriousness I could not see where the...

    I'm an idiot and fried part of my fuse box.

    Well, it would be really costly for a auto mechanic to fix that. But if you can get along with a temp fix till you can find the parts, or a partial wiring harness, do it. You might want to put a temporary fusible link between power sourfes and the rest of the vehicle to forestall a fire in the...
