Have fun in E-ville. I'm headed out by Ship tow one home myself.

Stock stuff, 900's and 1100's, mostly on rims, some still on trucks...not sure how many. I *believe* they were getting around $50/per. Not positivethough.

Heh...was there today testing my new fuel filter. :)

RE: Re: RE: Deuce Front End Alignment --- With Radials It helps with return to center on PS systems.

RE: Re: RE: Re: Tatra instrument panel I was fortunate enough to get a nice ride in a 5 axle HEMTT M1075 and air down was pretty rapid with that too. You felt the truck sink. Pretty cool. Oh, keep in mind that it's not just letting out air, it's letting out air that WANTS to get out having...

Ahh, I may have been a little unclear about my other post. Forget width and just go with center to center measure as Bjorn had said. My point that I wasn't clear about conveying is that is you have 1/8" tow in with a 39" tire and do nothing else but swap on a taller tire 42", 46", etc...the...

They also make high flow stems that allow really fast dump of the air...I guess it's helpful if you go wheeling all the time.

Saw the other big trailer post and figured I'd re-up this one and post a couple of things/thoughts. Since I changed my truck over to Hydro-Max braking and no air assist I'll have to keep that in mind for the trailer as I may put an air valve for brake operation. OR, just use it locally on the...

RE: Cracking 6.2 blocks The 715's are great platforms to dump in just about any engine you want. Neat trucks with a little lighter parts then deuces or up- :)

You need tow in to keep it from wandering. I found a site one time that listed truck size and tire size and listed suggested tow setting from that. Remember that just by changing to larger tires if you measure from tread to tread across for a tow measurement it's going to be different. You're...

RE: Re: Tatra instrument panel Bjorn, put the magnifying glass down and step away from the computer. :D

RE: Re: RE: 818 w 131A4 Wow, that's a meaty looking rig! Yeah...what color?

I have a cab and fenders that has those same guards on it...early 70's w/w data plate.

I wouldn't mind one as far as the compactness of it.

Mine is straight like that-

Jake, I found a very good detailed pdf format of the Hydro-Max from, I think, Bosch. I would not run anything else after mine as it wasn't that way from factory. I would find one specifically set up like that or, which may happen, run another pump for PS like what seemed to be pretty standard...

RE: Re: Hydro-Max Brake Assist *pics added* (long read) OH, and the elec pump motors can be purchased in 24V.

RE: Re: Hydro-Max Brake Assist *pics added* (long read) Is the electric motor automatically cutting in when the pressure drops? Factory wiring has the electric motor on a relay with a couple different triggers...if I've understood the literature correctly. Engine off, key off, press brake and...

Yep...I'm working on 'the wheel' in my spare time- :D

Drilling holes in the drums to let out water is nothing new. Some guys would do that on the M37's and M715s to aid in getting brakes back after higher water crossing. It's been done on other stuff too. Water is fine and leaves the drums relatively quickly and harmlessly but muds another...
