I have never had one cause an imbalance. Experience is in OTR operation.

2cents Grease first. Royal Purple is all I'll use. Expensive but nothing works better or last longer in wet, nasty environments. Zerks : any place that slips, slides. or rotates should have one. Some places that need them have plugs due to lack of space. Remove the plug, install a Zerk...

Thank you simp5782 sir. Don't even have the truck just yet:driver: but I will certainly keep the option on the table. Appreciate the offer though, Cape Coastie, a trailer is absolutely on the list. Considering options but it'll be a while. Will absolutely be MV based. Documentation of the...

:beer: Already considered it. Don't have an old lady anymore though. Thought it would make an awesome billiard room and bar.

As always friend, risk versus benefit. ;-)

Under it should be obvious but . . . Always use the "paddles" when the connection is not in use (connected to another vehicle). Middle of the night in middle of nowhere is a bad place to find out that the last guy didn't and now the gasket is missing. And whatever you do, DO NOT - EVER, turn...

Had two super single steer tire blow-outs (separate incidents) at highway speed. Can testify that run-flat inserts SHOULD be mandatory on steer tires of any size. For the Aussie whose post I saw, run-flat inserts are very popular "over there". Tyron is a well known brand available world wide...

Yeah, sorry, "noob" put this on the wrong thread somehow.

The pic of it opened up is from another vehicle. The super singles are at the top of the list right after all safety items and PMCS items. Mr.Appel, already saw ya on here. Sure I'll be in touch at some point.

Had a brainstorm for 12v. Mount a 12v auto battery somewhere (in cab maybe). Attach a suitable "smart" charger (I already have one). Connect charger to 24v DC to AC inverter of sufficient capacity ( I think my charger draws 1000W at full honk ). Connect inverter to 24v on disconnectable side...

:goodjob: Have been in firefighting over 35 years. Have loooooong advocated using MVs when possible. They are often overbuilt for fire service needs and what the heck, we already bought 'em once :) Seriously, great use of great equipment. Long may she serve.

Hey y'all, Just like the title says, I have fallen into the never-ending abyss of bliss that is owning, restoring, and (hopefully) living in a piece of history. I have arranged to purchase an M820 expansible van with the intention of it becoming my retirement home. I have done and am doing...

Amazing level of technology for the time period. Many shortcomings, mainly in materials of the time, but still amazing. The Horten 209 is another example. Years ahead of Northrop and jet powered from the start.

305 / 35 R 20 is probably the SMALLEST tire that will safely fit. Any tire that is at least 12" (305 mm) wide by 20" rim diameter will work.

Your way sounds a lot more fun. :clinto: Won't tell ya fer sure though. All 6 might just be at the same coefficient of friction

If you still wanna know if the front has a locker, jack up one side, let the other remain on the ground. If you can not turn the side that is raised . . . Locker. Or something broken inside pumpkin. Lockers will also "bang" or "rattle" while cornering. ANY power input while the wheels are...

For ANY vehicle ; find the correct air pressure by drawing a line across the tread from edge to edge with a tire crayon or chalk. Drive straight ahead a few tire rotations ( do not steer left or right ). Look at the line you made. If gone, pressure is right on. Outside remains ? Lower...

If there is a next time, keep your smart mouth shut. If your reg. was not DISPLAYED then any L E O in the land has cause to stop you. He / she probably just wanted to look at your ride. You yourself said he was polite. What he asked is a programmed question as you apparently are aware...

Pick your poison. Your vehicle is a standard Chevy K truck. The easiest and least expensive option is to have a local spring shop make you new springs. I M H O, the best option is to purchase an aftermarket kit ( all springs ) and replace it all. Springs, shocks, brackets etc. all in one kit...
