    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    arb=850 .detroit=400 lock out hubs =600 so really arbs are cheaper than running detroits with lockouts .another thing is detroits are a pita when locked in on the street on the front or rear they put every thing in a bind the only way to eliminate this is lockout hubs and not running 6x6 and...

    What causes this brake system failure...?

    really possible but to do it to all wheels at once i would think not maybe water freezing in the mc not letting the piston move .the wheel cylinders would move even with ice in them the pressure on them would brake the ice fairly easily

    a deuce into a trailer???

    hmm interesting trailer.i'm a little confused they doubled up the tongue to lower the lunette and then lowered the pintle to match on the truck when it would have lined right up how the truck was and with just using the tongue from the m105:roll:then they took the spare tire carrier off and...

    Flushing Hydraulics

    i would blow them out with air then flush with trans fuild .gas can dry the seals outthe rubber used in fuel line is different than in hydraulic lines fo a reason.also if you dont get all the gas out it can break down the hydraulic fluid when you fill it back up.trans fluid is hydro oil with a...

    Replacement winch cable

    hmm i dont think the safey figure is the same for lifting as it is for pulling .if it were the deuce winch would only be rated at 5000 since the 1/2 inch cable isnt rated anyhigher than that for lifting and you would have to use two snatch blocks minium to pull out a deuce that is only stuck...
