    Speedometer error - cause?

    One of my deuces has a speedo that reads fast. No GPS or pace car, I just know it won't do 60-65 mph at 2400 rpm on stock tires. First I assumed that it had a speedo adapter for the 1100/20's, so I swapped it with the one on my long bed with 1100R20's, as it reads slow with the bigger tires...

    m44a3

    Sorry clinto, wrong info above. The A3 data plates do not list on / off road capacity. The A3's are 5000lb cargo period, no doubling for on road. this is due in part to the combat wheels, the wheels are rated at 4000lb max. and without a even driver the fronts have over 3000 on them.

    MPGs?

    Sounds like a couple of you need some tuning. I've had several different 880's The 886 a solid 9mpg (except for the time when the float was screwing up, then it was 6mpg) 1st one, a M882 would get 9 on the highway pulling an 1800 trailer with a 3800 car on it and the bed full of stuff. yet...

    Back in the day way before Self-Serve, I was a 'Professional Petrolium Transfer Agent' The places I worked had the Diesel pump off and away from the gas pumps. and the "big issue" was between "regular" and "unleaded"

    Selfridge deuces-what did you get?

    SF-97 needed on a m101A3 trailer in MI?

    There is really no point in getting it. You would need it to get a title, but Michigan won't issue a title for it anyway. I would think you could take your paid in full invoice with you and get it registered. If that don't work then buy the SF97 from GL

    MVPA and Government Liquidation

    My guess is that GL paid for most of that calender. The Thursday reminders tell you that. I am very happy with it (calender). So what if GL ads are in it? I'm sure all MVPA members are aware of GL by now anyways.

    880 top speed

    The -10 manual states max military speed 70 mph. 65 seems to be the sweet spot on mine.

    Installed Radials, now truck wanders

    Yep you are right the michelin is only 9 1/4" wide across the tread blocks. but I guess mine are not worn out enough yet to be rounded on the edges. Sure the F'stones have the outside blocks closer together than the XL's which may have an impact. but I have to think yours is an alignment...

    IL DMV tells me M35A3 OFF ROAD USE ONLY

    I have heard of people using the frame serial # and corresponding year to register the A3's. The frame is an older A2 frame, and in most if not all states the frame vin wins out over a tag screwed to the dash board. Wise move on not letting them title it as off road. around here they are...

    sandcobra164, So you're saying the 1100 "Firestone's are much wider" than 1100 Michelins :confused: While I don't have any Firestones to measure, I ain't buyin' it!
