I don't want to go into a political rant but I will say that you can expect the powers that be to continue to crack down on vehicle emissions and I think they will eventually start looking at our trucks.

What does crushed limestone cost in your area? I can get crusher run for $7 per ton here. I routinely haul 18 tons of lime on my M939 spreader truck. The truck holds the weight up fine but the engine struggles on steep hills. I don't think you could get 18 tons of rock into a M929 bed without...

This has been covered many times. I will say this, the M939 trucks will eat tires like crazy when driven on the road day in/day out (especially if heavy loaded). The thing will drink probably twice as much fuel as a F650. They are great trucks but they aren't meant to run down the hwy...

Winches can be had for $1,000-$1,500 if you look around. Hardtops can be had from $400-$1,000 depending on condition. There is often a big difference in what people are asking for trucks and what they are actually selling for. I dislike heaters in the stock location. They really hinder...

Yea, that angle in the pic is too sharp. I didn't prime mine but it couldn't hurt. On the straps, I'll have to dig through my pile of parts and find them. You're welcome to them for the price of shipping if I can dig them out.

On a standard airbag setup and running tandems, you will loose some articulation between tandems over the stock setup. Now Henderickson does make a airbag setup that articulates just like the deuce tandem setup, it's kind of a combination walking beam, air suspension. They are pretty high...

Sounds like you have a linkage problem. Crawl under the truck and look at the linkage. I bet the T-case interlock that is supposed to keep you from shifting to reverse in low range is fouled up. I had a M932 that this was out of adjustment and locked the shifter in first get and wouldn't go to...

What you do is cut one of the saddles off the existing bracket, get another set of brackets and cut one of the saddles off it also. Then invert the new brackets and mount the tank in the new location with the bracket on top of the tank. You are also going to have to extend a couple of lines, I...

You can replace the cab without pulling the steering column.

Yea, they have a bad fuel knock. Every one I've ever been around would start great (even in cold weather) but would white smoke really bad until warmed up. The only real problem I've got with Cat engines is the dealers think their parts are made of gold. The truck I drive almost daily has a...

I usually just cut them off and go get a new thimble and nut. They aren't very expensive.

Those old 3208s weren't powerhouses but they're bound to beat a multifuel. Lots of people call them "throw away" engines because they don't have replaceable sleeves. They seem to run forever anyway though so I don't see it as a big issue. I've ran them in trucks and construction equipment...

You can just do away with the valve if you like. You won't have an emergency shutoff but most civilian Cummins engines don't have the valve.

Stay-Bil makes a marine formula fuel stabilizer that claims to combat the effects of ethanol. I have used it in my small engines but I have no data to say if it actually works as advertized. If you've got a small airport around, you can also use aviation fuel. It's kind of expensive but is...

If the water was low enough to expose the plates, they are probably junk. Any of the pates that ever get above the water level will be dead and never come back.

I ended up having to make a flange to bolt to the PTO flange. What I did was cut out piece of 1/4" plate into a circle the same size as the PTO flange, measured the bolt pattern of the PTO flange, and drilled them into my circle. I then welded the homemade flange onto a u-joint I picked up at...

No.

A sf97 in his name is worthless to you. Go ahead and let him get a title in his name and then sign it over to you, this is the proper way to do it.

Any TIG machine should also be able to do stick welding. The only drawback to the smaller TIGs is welding thick AL or even thin AL that is part of a larger assembly. You can run straight helium that will give you a little extra boost if needed. I've even been told you can run DC on thicker AL...

G, yes I misspoke. I meant "elbow" ( don't know why I said "tee" as I do know the difference, I guess it was late last night). Some of them do have a check valve in them though. I think you and I have discussed about this before. I've got one off and I'll post a pic if I can remember. Hooty, It...
