    M1070 recovery

    Yeah that was the plan, stuck at hotel and when I try to engage front a blow off valve under neath goes off. When I say stuck I mean, I was backing up to give myself enough clearance to turn around and the back axle is off ground and just a spinning so the other two won't do squat. The...

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on

    Ended up getting there right at 5. They were nice enough to let me pick out what I wanted and load them for me.

    M1070 recovery

    On missions we never shut it off, and for the buzzer I plead the 5th on that one, but electrical tape does work wonders on the loudness of them, lol No, our mechanics were really good on our hets so we never really had the issues with the oil thinning, especially because the majority of our...

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on

    Yeah that why I did t mind taking the aluminum ones, the rim is roughly the same size thickness as the duals together so I'll just put rear studs on the front and flip the hubs and call it good. Defiantly going to pressure wash the black coating off and leave the bare aluminum showing, little...

    M1070 recovery

    Pretty much, was really aggravating because I checked all fluids before I headed out. Didn't have the issue with the starter overheat on the second day and it was just as hot. But then again I wasn't pulling 19,500 the second day. Ok, dumb dumb moment, or as I tell my wife, blond moment...

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on

    I know, you got all the steel rims. Left me with aluminum rim. Took me a while to find the place but what a site to see, all the frames and axles.

    Was stuck on service road and 1070 won't start.

    Ok, talked to freak and it ended up being the starter over heat issue. After waiting an hour it fired right up. He also mentioned that the warning light will start going off when the oil thins out so I'm going to pick up some oil to appease it. We are golden now. Gotta love the ss community.

    Was stuck on service road and 1070 won't start.

    I remember on the 998s we could jump the starter on the ste/ice connector. Can that be done on the het, and of so what pins.

    Was stuck on service road and 1070 won't start.

    Ok so I pull off to the service road because I was getting the check engine and gauges lights and buzzer. Shut truck down and started going over it to make sure everything was ok. Get back in and it won't start. Turn the switch and both battery gauges so in the yellow as normal but when you...

    M1070 recovery

    So I meant to post this yesterday but was being lazy instead. Got the 818 hooked up, and custom iv cable works great. For me I disconnected both the turn signal switch on the steering column and the 3 switch box. Disconnecting the main 3 switch box took the front lights out and kept them...

    Ball hitch surge brakes

    Uhaul uses them on their trailers. Some boat trailers have them but the bigger stuff uses electric brakes. Some military trailers have surge brakes.

    Adding a pony motor to a M936

    The APU on the 88 provides 24v and hydraulics but the apu can't provide enough power to run all the hydraulics on the 88. The original 88 the apu powered the refuel, on the a1 they dropped the refuel capability but you could operate the aux winch and small tasks hydraulic items but not enough...

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on

    I'm leaving San Antonio, het with 818 in tow about 8 in the morning so that should put me getting there around 11ish. I have been in contact with them and Blake told me they have 7 good ones for me. I sent an email today, but it was probably too late, asking if they wanted my 11 ndts and let...

    I know one guy here mounted fmtv tires on his 5 ton and just flipped the tire on the rears.

    M1070 recovery

    I have a simple rule that I live by, don't buy it of you can't drive it. Hopefully gl and the dod will come to a resolution so I can put another bid in on a het. Buddy was surprised I got it between the lines, let alone between the cars. I went to sonic yesterday for lunch. You can't be...
