IN "U.S. Military Wheeled Vevicles" by Fred Crismon, page 225, there is 2 pics and a small write up of HI-HELEN

The reason of ALL the bolts is for a better clamping together of the parts( a lot less movement), not so much for out right strength. as much DESIGN that is in these trucks, if fewer larger bolts was thought to be a good idea, there would be larger bolts, there is a REASON for everything and the...

Yes, your first pic,

PLEASE bring your wife along with the boys , she will have a GREAT time

I just reread this again, YOU are talking about a TWO axle truck , whare the rear suspension is set up like the front ( a bobber). the discussion is about THREE axle trucks which have a totally different rear suspension

Good call, now that you found this, I want back and looked at the pics again, look at number 4, you can see where something like a fork hit the mount, this mark is right in line with the torque rod, could have knocked it off the bushing, if that was the case, a PM check should have spotted it

The torque rod(strut) design and use has been around since the first truck suspension design and still in use today, the failure of a torque rod and causing a catastrophic failure is NOT the fault of the torque rod design, yes the brake line might need to be moved. WE are talking about TWO...

so does the older MV suspension, the springs and pocket take care of the side to side movement, and the torque rods take care of the roll and front to back movement , you loose a torque rod (strut) on a modern truck, look what your axle does, at times it goes where no axle has gone before.

WRONG, in a lot of big truck and trailer suspension, that is what EXCATLY what the torque RODS (struts ) DO

torque rods are still USED TODAY on MODERN trucks, a good design, just rubber does not LAST 40 years without a BIT of deterioration' Back in the late 40s/early50s when these trucks were FIRST designed, ALL big truck RIMS were SPLIT RIMS, a very good design, the one peice rim is a better design...

I was going to say, this sounds like a very LEAN condition, awful hard on pistons, valves. This sounds like the ETHAOL scram, where it takes more energy to produce than it puts out, so it takes MORE ethanol mix to get the same energy output then straight fuel.

GOD is not here to take care of you but give you the KNOWLEDGE to take care of yourself, By NOT USING this KNOWLEDGE, you show no faith in GOD, so get the DANG MV and do it right.( mv related)

One of our members built a 715 for the Top Truck Challenge, wonder if that truck is it

I think the second pic. with duels looks a lot better the the first with the singles

I think CRANETRUCK did a wireing work around to brakers to fix this problem

the reason we like members to post pics on site instead of another site is because if the other site goes down, some members have trouble loging in to other sites, some sites require a pass word, ect,ect. the pics can still be had and gotten to by the members Also it is much easier to read a...
