    Can't get axle (bearing) nut off

    Did I buy the wrong winch for a m818??

    My second deployment the truck I signed for had a bolt instead of the shear pin on the winch. I didn't know it and when we used the winch to pull something the pin should have snapped, instead it cost us a winch and an investigation as to why we were having to replace a winch.

    Taking Deuce on 1,500 mile ride. Help, thoughts, recommendations.

    Especially them swift trucks. They like to cut back over a little to soon causing you to check the quality of your brakes. If you do brake down, watch out for swift drivers again, they like to hit non moving targets. I need murphy to get wore out so he will leave me alone for my trip to Drews...

    M923 NHC 250 Injecion Pump Problem

    Sorry, got it confused with the air compressor. Was up late last night combing through the parts manual and remembered seeing one of those things being watered cooled and thinking to myself, that's cool. My apologizes. I had to go back and make sure but yep, not ip, air compressor. :lost:

    NHC 250 Fuel fitting size

    Got the info. The flare fitting coming off the elbow on the filter to the ip is 5/8 flare. Ended up going 5/8 flare to 1/4 mip for my project. Just have to get 4 more 1/2" couplers and as soon as the other pump gets in and I get another hose I'll be all set. I'm also going to add two more 1/2"...
