It sounds like you have a potential issue in the steering system or possibly springs bushings. I agree that the stabilizer is suppose to keep wobble from happening but I've owned plenty of trucks with big wide offset tires with no stablizer and had no issues as well. Of course I've also had...

Agreed I would hesitate to shut down unless absolutely necessary until you know the batts, starter, GP's, etc. are in good working order.

That is the GP number, do not forget you will need to get new female spade terminals as the OEM ones are too narrow to fit on those.

I know lots bout' plowin bub...I'm a Mainah! That would make a good yard truck, **** you could even get some farm tags for it and take it to the local VFW for a Friday night beer :)

Wow, you guys are more brave than me. I'd write the check and have it delivered! I would also add ear plugs to the list. I made it about 250 miles before mine started to bleed. Best 99 cents I ever spent on the old girl.

That plow looks rough and the installation looks like it has seen better days. May not be worth much trying to save. I personally would salvage parts off it for a clone build or just to part out...scrap the rest. Looks like no one has pillaged under the hood, still has both Gens, the resistor...

Its about 10 gallons too small :)

First off on a dually, the front spacer is only there to enable using a matching dually rim with an incredible amount of offset. They kind of cancel themselves out and retain the designed scrub radius and kingpin inclination angle. I think most (can't say I know what the new Ford arrangement...

Excuse me for not knowing my correct Loctite numbers up front... I would think Red even though would keep them from coming loose at all would make servicing them near impossible and unable to retorque at all. Blue would probably hold well but would give you inaccurate readings during retorque...

Probably fine if you are not turning the GP's on but... Is it not starting with the correct amount of glow? You may have another issue with the fuel or failing GP's if its not starting with the correct systems in place. I think your method would be something to use in a pinch when stranded and...

Probably because it is one more point of letting the spacer work loose which in my opinion is the biggest problem with any spacer regardless of offset. I would vote on still being within the width tolerance not creating too many issues with scrub/offset issues. Is anyone using Loctite on the...

The kingpin D60 is a pretty stout axle. I would say as long as you do not get any bad steering issues like death wobble you are probably OK as long as everything is tight. Stock steering will definitely be pushed to the breaking point which is something safety wise would need to be worked on. I...

I think you could get away with the Centramatic in either position. You will have to look at the inside of the HMMWV and see what space you have to work with. I believe the Centramatics for the HMMWV are stepped out towards the end to accommodate the rim clearances. The ones I have are...

Congrats on the new purchase! Need pictures!!! Agreed, you have a LOT of reading to catch up on in order to make some informed decisions. I would highly suggest becoming familiar with the various systems and doing the much needed updates to them in order to avoid potential catastrophic failure...

Roger I think I am going to keep mine as I want to make them work. I just have to rearrange my wheel mounting situation. Keep in mind the clearance issues with them. I believe the ones for a HMMWV will fit the matching rim but they have a step to them which may interfere with your brakes. I...

Sorry for the hijack Sharecropper, I was curious to see what other sizes are successfully run. I too am kind of in the same boat. I currently run some really old Ford rims (probably from the late 70's) and now that my recently purchased Centramatics don't fit, I need to find a solution. It is...

That is a good price for a steel rim in that size. 16.5 rims are such a pain to deal with because it is such an uncommon size these days. Seems like even 15" rims/tires are going the same way. What width are you running? I know the HMMWV are over 9" wide and you can get the US Steel rim in...

I will tell you that the ProComp 16.5" wheels are on a 4-8 week back order if you are wanting to go the plain jane steelie route. Ask me how I know :)

I would almost install a ball valve on the additional outlet port to purge air since it doesn't look like it has a bleed port. While bleeding, open the valve and pinch the fuel outlet hose to purge the air out I guess. The MOST important part is to not crank the engine over with the pink wire...

You should be looking at specs for what is a rebuild. Some of the cheap ones are just pulled apart in re-sealed for the most part. You may actually get one that has replaced parts if they don't meet spec. I would think that a decent rebuild should come with a new rotor assembly. I think I paid...
