    m35a2 front axle weight rating?

    If you are going to overload the poor thing (not reccommended), consider 11.00 duallies for a higher weight rating, but you have to keep them at 55-60PSI since they are wider than 9.00's. I put commercial 18-wheelers tires on the front, rated for a substantial weight increase. But I would still...

    100% used motor oil fuel.

    RE: UMO The injector pump is 'delicate'. Best to have clean oil, as few particles as possible and as small as possible.

    Radiator

    Even when my old one leaked, it never did that. You could have clogged tubes or a bad thermostat that is not opening all the way. I bought a used rebuilt one for $450 about 3 years ago. I have the old one in the shed as a possibly rebuildable spare. I didn't get it fixed because the buffoon...

    Front axle lubing thangs

    I believe it is about 2 lbs to be put in. In any case some penetrating oil may be necessary if the plug won't come out. Mine came out easily. Could it have some tread-lock on it? You never know.

    Air-Assist Steering....

    The alignment I had called for turning the wheels one way (to the right?) and putting the piston 1" from max travel in that direction. Best contact AP Bloom. http://www.m35products.com/ and he'll assist you.

    Heart sinewave inverters

    see if there is a short across the AC output. This may not be a simple thing, but try disconnecting the output of the board from the ac receptacle. and check it, and check the board. also look for an MOV metal oxide varistor that might have been overheated and shorted. could be almost anything...

    turn off javascript and use this URL: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/dantheman29a/Tires/ javascript: "just say no" The lug bolts look shorter because the wheeks are perhaps thicker than the originals. Check the specs on the OD Iron site. Thick is good.

    DEUCE spin on oil filters!!!!

    These conditions are well under the burst pressure which I have seen listed at 250PSI. I don't know the pressure drop, but my pressure didn't decrease when I put them in. Wach one is rated as if it were the same flow as both originals, so the drop should be low. The "beta ratio" was discussed...

    POS made it to ebay?

    something is not right about the height. maybe the tires? Maybe the grass is tall or the photo is compressed. I'd have to ditch the butt-blaster speaker-seats and all that stuff. I would expect some $ to be knocked off the cost for me having to do that. Otherwise OK. The bed is a little low for...
