I too went through my Gulfway policy from front to back, and it has no restrictions. It is a plain old Travelers commercial truck policy. Gulfway is trusting you to follow their restrictions on use, even though you are under no legal obligation to do so. Every policy period, they send you a...

The government would rather carry a truck loaded with barrels of GL5 SAE85W90 than a truck loaded with a little of this, and a little of that. They chose one single oil to simplify their supply line, but you use so little oil that there is no reason for you to do so. The transmission...

If I'm understanding you correctly, you have someone with their hands on the cable while you are doing a recovery? If you are doing that, please Don't! For more than a short pull, and you are going to have to stop and re spool the line. The cost of letting the cable bunch up at one end of...

I don't know about there being nothing Government Liquidation can do about it... more probably there is nothing Government Liquidation will do about it. They were at fault, you followed the rules, they should make it right. Since the trailer hasn't been auctioned off yet, they should give it...

The letter sounds fine. I would change the last line: "We are trying to be understandable and patient... " to: "We are trying to be reasonable and patient..." or, maybe understanding and patient... -Chuck

There is, sort of... Look to your left, and notice a tiny "ying/yang" symbol. That is where you can add or subtract from a member's reputation. That is by far a more accurate way of telling who the group thinks is useful, and who is popcorn. I'd be much happier if the "rank" would just go...

The rank seems to be based on the number of posts you have made that are still on the board, so if you (or the moderator) delete posts, your rank will go down. -Chuck

One thing, diddling the bobble head on the vents will not tell you if they are working.... it will only tell you that the bobble head isn't jammed full of mud. There is a small rubber disk that forms the seal, and a light spring that keeps it closed. The continuous light spring pressure...

Hi Travis, The fitment becomes an issue because when you step on the clutch, the entire drive train relaxes to a neutral position. When you start to release the clutch, any slop is taken up almost instantly, hammering the shear pin. If you are one of those that believes that the clutch should...

Hmmm? 6061T6 is softer than the original by quite a bit. 6061T6 has 30ksi shear strength, and as I recall, the original is 2024T361 with 42ksi shear strength. -Chuck

The US didn't specify one oil for the differentials, transfer cases and transmissions because it was the best practice, they did it because it simplified the supply logistics without compromising function and reliability too much. The gears, and other parts in the transfer case and transmission...

Right here in this website. Go to the "Resources" button, and select "Technical Manuals". Scan through the listings until you find TM9-2910-226-34. It will tell you everything you want to know about rebuilding and setting up the IP. Follow M35 Tom's lead. He has this fix down to a science...

Uhmmm? Take the nail out of your tire and patch it? -Chuck

What you are describing is a classic governor problem. The fuel pedal tells the IP what percentage of full power you want from the engine. It basically changes the spring tension on the governor, and the governor decides how much fuel is necessary given the pedal position, and the current rpm...

We usually call them mice down in my neck of the woods. They eat wiring, make nests in the heater boxes, and air intakes, and generally cause a nuisance.. I had one eat the bottom corner of the battery in my tractor once. What a mess! I have to wonder what happened to the mouse when it got a...

The problem is simple, but the explanation is not quite so easy: Assume you have two massively out of balance tires on the same side of your truck, but on different axles. Let's call them Tire A, and Tire B. If the heavy side of Tire A is up, and the heavy side of Tire B is down, the extra...

I know nothing about GM's, but on other vehicles I have worked on the caliper is not bolted to anything. It usually is held in place by a pair of split pins, or clips. Do you have a manual? -Chuck

When one of the rear wheel bearings went bad on my F250, it locked the rear wheel up tight. The tire skidded and I almost lost control. After I came to a stop, and assessed the situation, I put the truck in 4WL, and backed it up a little, and then forward, and then back until it freed up, and...

Bees and deuces? Heck, my deuce always has a few bees living in it! -Chuck

The ethanol put in gasoline is anhydrous ethanol, meaning it is dehydrated so that it has no water in it. Anhydrous ethanol will suck the moisture right out of the air, and it takes very little added moisture to make it heavier than gasoline. Once that happens, it sinks to the bottom of the...
