Welcome from Da UP

Thanks for the pics and story, hope to make it up there some day to check it all out.

How do these M989a1 trailers pull down the highway? Looks like something I could put to use. Camp

Got it home, pulled it home with my A3. Still couldn't get it to move on its own so used the M1031 to pull it up on the trailer. Good to have it here so I can start tinkering with it.

Here's mine, I bought a M125 and pulled it home with my A3 :driver:

Haven't seen any leaking. I have a lot of years around big equipment, and the motor oil dosen't scare me at all. I'll never put a 100,000 miles on it and as long as it's clean and moisture free that transmission will last me a lifetime. :-D

I'm sticking with 15-40w.

I would think it's a lot hotter in AZ compared to MI. Anyone on here that ran them in Iraq? Wonder what the temp would of run on them over there?

Just put a hard pull on the A3 today. Temp never went over 200f. Most of the time when it's empty it runs about 175f to 190f. I've never changed it over from Military use, so guessing it must be the 15-40wt. I find if I run the RPM's low it runs hotter, even the engine temp. runs hotter...

Try to stay away from the term "stake". Insurance Co.'s will charge more for a stake bed than cargo. I tried the pick up term and SS said they wouldn't take it because of the weight. :(

Thanks for posting the pics Eric. What's the story on the german wing?

Sounds like a great time, hopefully there won't be so many conflicts next year so we can see a way to come, even for a day.

It's 50% WMO and 50% diesel. I've added some WVO with the WMO a few times to try. I've also gone as high as 70%WMO when it was real hot here a week or so ago. Have over 5000 miles on it so far, saved enough to pay for a IP if it goes out. All the oil if filtered down to 1micron, but I have...

I have a 97 Dodge with the cummins, so far so good on 50/50 mix.

That is cool. How do those #'s work, any rime or reason for the way they issue #'s?

Our son took a video while we were getting it going, didn't know it until today, so hopefully it uploaded.

That's good to know, I have lots of hy-tran here for the farm.

The only experience I have so far with WMO is in my dodge cummins. I've been running about 50% and filter it to 1micron. I don't notice the power loss so much until I pull a trailer, and then I can feel the difference. It still runs good, just can't climb the hills as good as before.

One of these times I'll be taking you up on that offer.

Ya, I'll bite, post some pics or PM me with some. Thanks
