Think you be surprised just how much some people know about these trucks, the DOT guy is no dummy, all he has to do is look at the axles and springs and he can come close to the GVW and really no need to look at dash data plates, start changing plates ect, is a easy way to get the truck...

I ment to say shifts the sprag into forward or reverse

that trans rod shifts the transfer into forward or reverse

Still think it will go OVER 26,000 In fact, if each axle carried 1/3 of the 40,000 GVW which is 13,333, so two axles would be 26,666 GVW, so 666lbs OVER the 26,000 thresh hole

how did you disguise the hole in the bed under the porta potty and the sink, must be like one of these pakistani otr trucks that are on our highways

Not to bad, most drivers would not even think about driving a twin stick let alone know how. Putting a stick and aux. in front of the transfer most likely require moving the transfer back., putting the aux. after the transfer would work, but sure would need a front drive lockout for everything...

no plates in a plate state will get you stopped, especially by bored LEOs at night. I would guess it is going to be hard to REDUCE a close to 40,000 lb GVW truck down to under 26,000

I had a hard time with this for a long while, that I had not lived up to the gift, till I realized with help that the reason may have not been shown to me yet.

you may save a bunch driving, BUT one break down, not even major WILL eat that savings, a blow out on a steer tire 1000 miles from no where is not a good thought, drop a clutch, water pump, ect. You won't save as much as you thing by driving as compared to shipping, air fare, food, place to...

there 2 types of straps, a 1 piece that goes though the strap slots and UNDER the holder, a 2 piece that attaches to each strap slot that is on the holder

In a way, for the wreckers this is true to a point, wather then a true walking beam suspension with the beam attached to the axles, It is more of a walking beam on DEMAND, sorta the best of both types. A true walking beam will be found on crane carriers, gradeall, ect

The walking beam setup will be found on wreckers, this helps to spread the weight off the spring pack on to the axle, after a certain amount of spring set (load), the walking beam ends are on the beam stops on top of the axle, putting the load DIRECTLY on the axle hence relieving the springs of...

REMEMBER, you need to raise the hood just for everyday stuff, filters, starter, oil change, on and on and on, ect, NOT just if something breaks

Use the HYD. hand pump, no power needed, I would use the powered pump for everyday odd and ends, just easer , put the fenders ON the hood, gets everything out of the way when working on the beast "but the problem I see with screw actuators is that they need a very long screw, which needs to...

just use hood openers that the some of the otr trucks use, these are 12v screw actuators, OR use the hyd. pump and cylinders as used on cab overs, you can get this with a hand pump or electric pump with a hand pump backup

Looks broke to me also

WE are talking a GASSER (no tubo, no OD trans) which a M51 is, empty with 1100s, at tack should get 59 mph, this is according to tm9-2320-211-10, page 1-5, table 1-3, Same table shows 52 mph for the A1/2

Doubt the DOT has a book on hitch rateings, but bet thay do on tire load pressures

Looks like the OP knows how to HOOK PB, notice how he just sorta slied in the WC62, made it look as just a passing thought :beer: and a [thumbzup] to the OP
