    Synthetic Fluids

    in the older trucks like ours, I dont see a point to changing it all over to synthetic oils... and STAY AWAY fron amsoil!! it will eat the seals out of whatever it is in..

    M35A2 wo/w maximum safe side drive angle

    I slid my m35A2 (on singles) down a (very wet, and soggy) hill sideways once... I am not sure what the angle of the hill was, but it is enough that nobody in the family will take a tractor across it sideways, we bushhog it up and down... but anyways, the field at the bottom was flooded with...

    M923 CrewCab Project

    Oh, one more question... how much frame space did the added cab take up? (or how much did you shorten the bed) I am trying to figure out how far to strech my frame, i need to strech it enough to add the second cab, plus a foot (or 2)... as it sits right now 100% stock, my trailer will smack...

    Value of a M927/M928 with NHC250 and ISO bed?

    around here.. 4-6K tops.. depending on the work needed.. just sold a CHERRY m932Ao for 7K without flinching.. but a m931 needing a overhaul (water in oil) has a hard time selling for scrap value..

    M923 MPG and Differential Oil Seal Leak

    reason is the military didnt allow the trucks to go over 55mph.. and most times 45mph was it... so why worry about putting 65mph rated tires on a truck that is not allowed to go that fast... plus you will learn that the truck was not desinged to go that fast... it orignally had 11.00X20 tires on...

    Just purchased MEP-002A - Rent our home - suggestions on best way to use?

    this is what i do in my house... But i would NEVER do this with a rental house.. in my experance, if it can be screwed up, more then likely a renter will do it.. this is unless you know who you are renting to, and trust them with your life (or the electric company's linemen's life) If the main...

    The M931 couples to which trailers?

    SOME states do not require farm trailers that are over sized to have permits.. if it is for farm use, its worth checking to see if your state is this way.. Indiana is.. EDIT- just noticed your from canada, I have no clue about what the laws are up there
