Awe, come on now. With this site, maintenance is easy as pie!

I put new kingpin bushings and springs in. I also used the 1/8" washer in as True Knight had mentioned since I am using 37" humvee tires. It indeed works. No death wobble up to my new top speed of 60 mph in the CUCV. The tires need balanced however. Just another step toward a smoother ride. One...

I would like, myself, to get a 5 ton that isn't commercial so I can play with it in the mud. Only reason I went commercial was because it is a dumper and I want it to pay for itself. Only reason I mentioned all I went through was to show a worse case scenerio for you, which can be fairly easy...

As for the 5 ton, I finally got the road salt/cinders washed off the truck and ran it long enough to air up the leaky tire. Wasn't time to attempt plugging the tire, as I was replacing kingpin bushings on the CUCV first.

Thanks for the offer and hospitality. I still have to work with when I am going. I will most likely time it for the rally again and put an extra day in the schedule to stay overnight in a tent. I would like to hit the trails, for sure, even if in the back with a few parts!

Good to know there are plugs being used on these tires. I will do it myself, or at least try. If not, theres a real nice heavy truck tire shop that I am on the good side of since I ordered extra rim seals for and took to them.

I am not sure. I was only there for a few hours at the swap meet bsing with folks and scarfing up goodies. I was the nut with the black '10 Camaro that was orange by the time I left. I was inroute to visit my dad in FL. I am not sure if I spoke to you or not, but I left some drool marks on that...

Thanks and congrats/happy birthday!

Can my workhorse of a CUCV get at least one vote? Yes, the Army has retired it, but it sure has life left and refuses the rocking chair.

That really sets off an already beauty of a truck. I remember seeing that at the rally. You have a lot of hours in her.

The FL title just has the vin, make, model. The commercial or noncommercial is on you how to have them do your plates. Here, it makes no difference on the title. The truck is what it is. I have a CDL and the truck got it's annual CMVI (commercial motor vehicle inspection), which they applied a...

I also got the FL title and it was a breeze to get it transferred to an Ohio title. BMV just issues plates here in Ohio so they didn't care as long as they got there $550 for my commercial tags. However, we have a reputation here, in the Buckeye State, of having the most lax vehicle laws. We...

It has killed the industry here as well. Pipeline infrastructure is still going on as well as the random test wells. My county has the highest production wells in the Utica. I can't wait til they go under my land, but I really do hope it don't happen until after the prices go back up. As for my...

Thank you Swamp Donkey. So that sounds like it is all on the "dry" side and no need for coolant loss. Is this a safe assumption?

That's still a great price compared to two years ago! Ours is hanging just over $2. and gas is $1.49. My 5 ton has a flat. It has CTIS, but I see the hole in the tread. Has anyone used them high-end plugs with success on these 14R 20s?

Are you just going to cut a hole in the bumper where the license plate goes, for it?

Thought I might get a quick answer on this thread instead of starting another one, but when it is in the single digit temperatures and I start my truck, the fan runs until the engine is completely warm and only then after the engine is shut down for a couple minutes. Is the shutterstat...

Stop teasing, what'd ya get?

Why were you out of power steering fluid?

When I was in 30 years ago, I drove our squad truck and it was my responsibility to make sure that truck would start in all conditions and run and if it wouldn't, it was my job to report it and make sure it was always combat ready, even during the cold war. We never left them run, but...
