looks like they have been there for a while and yet they have the canvas tops still present.

I have a set of 16;00 20's on my wrecker. they are to large to use the machine for what it was intended for. they rob a lot of power and will rub quite easy. when we find smaller ones ,these will go on a different toy. the road speed is cool but not worth the limitations.

probably a lubrication issue.

Thanks Kenny. this is what i expected but i have not had the t cases on these apart yet so i thought id better ask. we have pulled the shafts when towing to be safe it's just after reading the manual i was'nt sure if it was needed.

one of the manuals i have tells to just put the transfer case in neutral when lift towing. anyone know if the t case will be damaged this way? i was thinking the drive shaft between #2 axle and the t case should be pulled. any suggestions? comments? opinion's?

well i changed the entire hub and bearings. we will see how it works when i get a chance to take her for a cruse. may take it to work on tue. 38 mile one way. should be far enough to tell. i'm wondering if the new race was cut out of round in relationship to it self? no weird wear on race or...

what did you ever find was the problem with your hub? mine is still giving me fits. pulled and repacked and made certain the race was seated and still ran hot. changed the outer bearing again and no change. in the morning im changing the whole hub. dont know what is going on but when we drove...

Hope all goes well for you.

the transfer case calls for the same oil as the tranny. that confused me until i realized that the t case is pressure lubed.

Hmmmm. maybe i should rent it out to help pay for it.

Thanks Osh Truck_Trainer. and welcome . the body's on the one i have are aluminum. thanks Wayne for the links.

got the transfer case straitened out and drove the rascal the rest of the way home. is a blast to drive. sorry still no pics as i have not hooked up with Lane yet.

Thanks Wayne for putting the pic thing together. i can do whatever is needed with the trucks but when it comes to these electronic machines i'm lucky to turn the darn thing on. :?:

ya or i was thinking i could use it for washing off the other rigs when they get dirty! I'm itching to run the double barrel roof turret! :twisted:

Re: RE: M 1500 Oshkosh fire-crash-rescue

Brought the M 1500 almost home today. what a truck. it is awesome! air conditioning? Extra horse power? real runner. maybe to good of a runner as a transfer case bearing went a little south. no damage just needs to have a shim removed to tighten it up a bit. rather than ruin something i left it...

this is exactly what i used. read the labels and this was the closest that we could come up with so i went with it. did not need to much as it turned out. only added about 3 quarts to bring it up to full. thanks all for the help. im not used to owning automatics and this slipped my mind for the...
