i was wrong, but i'll PM you.

not sure, i don't own one. in the Army we would just swap out the IP in the customer's truck (since we had them on-hand) to get them up and running. then if the IP seemed good, my F&E guys would swap out the solenoid. do more searching on hot start and fuel solenoid issues/relationships...

fyi - you can get Ouverson hubs for less from a member here. much better quality and upgradeable. on edit: i was wrong, i didn't get OEM hubs for less than the price listed above, but the difference is not that much, includes shipping, and i would gladly pay more for the hubs i have.

likely a sticking fuel cut-off solenoid; they stick when hot/warm and won't let fuel return to IP until cooled or unstuck. 2cents

need video, and nopics :beer:

i'm not sure if anyone has confirmed, but if it's an A3 truck, then i'll bet you can completely disregard the posted schematic. don't know...

that's what i read, too. and the -10 manual says............<drumroll>...................................

since this is in the trailer forum, are we talking about a 105 trailer?

FYI for all - that schematic thread has been sticky'd to the top of the list in the Deuce forum. no search needed. [thumbzup]

this should help you out. welcome to SS.

actually, when towing a tractor/trailer they can and do run air lines to the trailer to use the trailer brakes. i believe some (many or few?) tractors have inter-vehicular connections to utilize the truck brakes during towing.... or did i make that up? :cookoo:

what manual is this? and is this for tow-bar or lift-towing with wrecker? the reason i ask is because in the MRAP towing TTP states "If vehicle has no air pressure, request dedicated wrecker support " as a note under the 'like-vehicle towing' section for every MRAP series. exactly: flat...

do the wrecker operator manuals give any direction on towing? i would not be surprised if they didn't... anything i learned about vehicle specific operation was from the training and training materials on operation of that specific vehicle. i don't remember if any of that stuff was field...

i completely understand this viewpoint. my view point is that if i can't afford to purchase a vehicle from GL (that probably doesn't run and is in essentially unknown condition) and the costs to have it transported to me, then i probably can't truly afford to buy the vehicle. in my opinion...

my personal [paraphrased] summary. we didn't have patrols go out in OIF3, but we did provide continuous convoy support. we always had two recovery teams on stand-by, in total: 4 gun trucks, 2 HMMWVs, 2 HEMTT wreckers, 2 contact trucks, 2 M1088 tractors, 1 PLS, 1 HET. my point is that even...

thank you, Chuck - i couldn't agree with you more. yes, everything i have been taught about vehicle recoveries (H8 school) is that tow-bars are not your primary recovery plan [for wheeled vehicles]. self-recovery is always option #1 (but is rarely possible); contact maintenance is used to...

yep, photo-chop really does wonders for helping spatial thinkers like me. i agree, the dump bed looks much better than the deuce bed. i wonder about the length, though. i'd be tempted to chop the frame and bring the bed up to the crane. but this is from the arm chair - being there in...

i think you made the right call - looks great!!!:beer:

personally, i think the deuce bed would look more like an OE design than the dumper. i just envision the dumper in my head and i think it starts to look like a franken-job. that said, its still hard to envision. can you do a photo-chop for visual comparo? i couldn't offer an opinion...

i've never done it as i don't have a tractor, let alone a second vehicle the size of said tractor to tow-bar it with. however, that said, i've done too many accident investigations for me to say that tow-baring an equally-sized truck with a tractor is a good idea. there just isn't enough...
