in addition to the advice above I would let some air out of your tires, down to 35 psi or so to increase your ground contact patch.

lick it and tell me what it tastes like!!rofl

they are very front end heavy and will tend to go straight to the bottom of whatever is in the snow so if the soil is muddy or lose underneath you might have a problem, the deuce is more evenly distributed so in my opinion it does better in the snow than the 5 ton. If it is the truck in your...

my transmission had some sticky valves in the valve body, like 7th and 8th were the same gear as well as 10th and 11th. Also 13th would hesitate and then violently downshift two gears so Soni told me to add air tool oil to the supply air fitting of the transmission and let it work its way down...

in washington 4k is the norm for a base 813

I assume when he talks about the rare one's I assume he is talking about the 916 a1's that were retrofitted by the marines. Maybe no who knows.

the hyd pump on a 920 flows something like 23 gpm, more than enough for a 816 wrecker body.

I am not sure what dave is doing, probable plowing the whole block so I will answer a little for him. The entire setup in held in place by 6 bolts and nothing is left on the truck when it is time to put it away. No power steering but I am sure we will be working on that before next winter.

he did mention that they were either a six speed or seven speed allison auto as well. Either one or two overdrives would be my guess.

Soni picked his up last thursday from cali. He said that these trucks were also equipped with air ride cabs!!

It does not stick at as bad as we thought it would, looks good, now you can fix the ruts I made in your yard with the 920!

Well Guys, thanks for all of your help and thankfully I did not need it. Special thanks to Ross (reb87) for helping me troubleshoot some problems when I picked the truck up and Soni (M920) for helping me with the transmission (by the way the air tool oil trick worked!! thanks again). I made it...

the alternator puts out something like 90 amps 12v only, that is scaled down through a rectifier to 32 amps 24v part of the truck is on 12v most of it on 24v. I would double check the headlights I do believe that all lighting, guages, cigarette lighter etc are all 24v. afaik the only thing 12v...

Yeah, I was hoping to get it a little earlier in the year so I did not have to deal with any pass closures, snow won't stop the 920 on an interstate unless they flat out close it. My only real hurry is that I have a deadline to pick up the sleeper in CO so I have to make it there sometime...

No, I am not bringing my laptop and do not want to go through all of the effort of trying to make it work through my droid so I will do a road trip summary when I get home. I bought tickets for disney on ice for the fam that sunday evening so I have to be home by day 4.

Nah, I am thirty and my brother in law is 24, time is more important than a good nights rest, we can handle the abuse. I predict 3.5 days 4 hr drive shifts 24 hrs on the road.

looking through there list of trucks they are a ton that are mislabeled and a pretty good deal. I could not find the big trailers in their inventory listing, I wonder how much they want for one of those?

in case you guys are wondering why I am making the bass ackwards trip of going up to TN it is because I purchased a knuckle boom crane from a guy up there and am picking it up on the way back. I am also picking up a sleeper cab in the ne corner of Colorado so I figure I am just killing three...

thanks for the replies, Ross, I knew you would be and I may make a pit stop there for sure depending on how my timing is. I appreciate all of the replies and I am trying to drive straight through with my co-driver depending on how we feel. I will keep you all posted and will have a trip report...

Hi Guys, I am beginning a road trip on the 17th of November and am going cross country in my M920. I am posting my route in hopes that I can get a roll call of SS members along my route who can assist with a tow or maybe a jump/tools etc that may be available next weekend. Map text directions...
