    Fuel not getting to the engine

    If these trucks suck air you'll be sucking wind. On the dual tank trucks the fuel selector switch is most likely the culprit. But, check all your rubber and fittings. Two often overlooked rubber items are...say it with me...The Primer Pump O-rings. Brasscraft #0562 3/8"ID (1/2"OD) X 1/16" Wall...

    new to mv world! What to look for in my first 5 ton.

    Heck, I used to power slide M1 tanks, but the DMV out here didn't care. In CA there is special Class B just for Fire Engineers. LA County Sheriff's Deputies who transport inmates on the large buses also have to posses a passenger endorsement Class B.

    new to mv world! What to look for in my first 5 ton.

    Each state differs on this issue. Some interpret the law different than the next. I would consult your state's vehicle code. Also, your state troopers or local law enforcement agency should have a commercial enforcement detail. They are specialized in the safe operation of large trucks in which...

    Political Messages on your MV

    Good to see this topic back on top. As we all know there have been some interesting tidbits in the media of late regarding having the "right" to do something, but is it the "right" thing to do. You have the "right" to own an MV, but do you believe it is "right" to use it as your bandwagon. As...

After jacking the axle and removing axle and spindle nuts, this hoist or jack was placed under the duals. It was then raised to take weight...

    Lets See Your 5-Ton!

    Yeah, they are all brand new from Stephan Wood Products. Nice stuff. I had a set of old wood ones. They needed a lot of work. The carriage bolts and square nuts were frozen solid with rust. I scrapped them out, the steel going to a local metal scrap collector. I had an 813/814 wooden headrack...
