Just go buy you some tire irons and save your cash. It's not all that hard if you have the proper tools. Any of the major shops around here will work on a lock ring rim but they get around $40 per tire. You can also save some more money by skipping your gym membership for the month you do 10...

There are at different locations. Wreckerman will "broker" for you at Redstone and I can sometimes do it at Ft. Campbell.

Yea I was a little disappointed in how the meter didn't seem very weather resistant. What do you expect for $19 though. I like how yours is out of the weather but I'd kind of like mine a little more assessable.

I gave up on the OEM Hz meter and ordered one of the meters from Hardy Diesel. Took it out of the box today and found out it won't fit in the factory Hz meter hole, almost but not hardly. Looks like I'm going to have to file out the hole a little, I don't think it will be so much that I can't...

There is really no way to check what is under your concrete unless you dig it up or you were there when they prepped the base. You can have a good gravel base but still have bad ground under the base. One of the most common problems is building the driveway over a uncompacted dirt fill or...

Maybe. Can you help?

:ditto: I've seen 4" hold up 80,000lb tractor trailers and I've seen 8" fall to pieces with just auto traffic. It all depends on what's under the concrete. I'd be very cautious running a 5-ton on a residential asphalt driveway, especially in hot weather. That also depends a lot on what the...

I just had one shortened today on a '94 Pete that I shortened the frame on. Cost me $80. The Pete driveshaft is twice as big as one on a deuce but I do realize it would probably cost more to lengthen one than it would to shorten one but not that much.

My dodge truck (with lockers) will wear out rear tires at a rate of about 2:1 compared to the front if not rotated. I guess maybe you could just replace the rears twice for every set of fronts you replace and end up using the same amount of tires over the life of the truck but I'd rather keep...

If it was just the u-bolts I wouldn't worry too much, just get some new ones and replace the welded ones. The problem is any "fabricator" that will weld u-bolts together will do no telling what else. One look at those u-bolts and you couldn't give me that truck for anything other than parts.

Here's the problem with repairing a tank or neck, you un-solder the surrounding areas, contaminants get into the seam, and you create a new leak right beside the one you just fixed. You'll need to take the nipple completely off, clean it good, and then solder it back on. If it's close to the...

In my experience,the only remotely good zipper boots are the genuine military boots. They still aren't as good as the silicone non-zipper boots.

To be clear, the deuce doesn't have "air over hydraulic" brake system. It has a "air assisted brake system". There is a big difference. In a true "air over hydraulic" system, if you loose air pressure, you loose all your brakes (M105 trailers are "air over hydraulic"). The air assist setup is...

Lots of good parts there to take to the scrap yard. I'd at least pull the axles, they are worth $1,000+ for a front and one rear around here.

I'm looking at getting a M932 moved from Indianapolis,IN to my place here in Dickson,TN.

Here is what the original post says- "We finally have our generator sitting alongside the driveway. This 10Kw MEP-003A is in splendid shape. Evidently spent life under cover and was cared for. Trailer also in very good condition. There is much to learn. For one thing, is there an interlock...

Just about any hyd oil will work fine in these military wreckers. You could even use ATF of you wanted (which is really a type of hyd oil anyway). You are correct that there are many types of hyd oil and some systems can be picky but these old wreckers use such a simple system that just about...

Batteries normally don't give off explosive gas (hydrogen) unless they are being charged. I'd vote of a short somewhere also. I've seen it happen many times on civilian big trucks. With 24V, or 12v batteries in parallel, you have a lot of current in those batteries looking for ground. You give...

I know exactly what it is. It's a differential gear train analyzer. Now what it does, I have no idea. :-D

I have found out that dedicated hyd stores are much cheaper than auto parts stores. The two auto parts stores that do hoses locally cost a arm and a leg compared to the local hyd place. It can still get expensive when you get big and/or long hoses though. The replaceable ends will save you...
