    Air Brakes

    Agree. Also, if you have horn, wipers, or tcase air then it also isn't the PPV.

    Air Brakes

    A brief overview of the air system- Truck starts. Has no air. Begins building air. Pressure rises. When it hits 70psi or so, the PPV opens and "nonessential" equipment gets air. This includes wipers, horn, tcase, and air governor. At 120psi the expello valve on the air dryer sneezes, and...

    14.00 vs 16.00 tire size

    The best deal going on 16.00s are the remold XZLs that Wes has. If I were equipping a truck with 16.00s in today's market that's what I'd use. PM inbound.

    14.00 vs 16.00 tire size

    You want hemtt rims. That's the best solution for the clearance issues. But you can adjust the stops on the steering and get away with your combat rims. Yes, the tires fit. You can articulate enough to strike the bed. Solution here is a thicker chunk of wood between the bed and frame, or...

    I've done it. Thousands of miles, no issues. Instructions are on the dash iirc.

    Newer model 5 ton dump truck can it be towed

    Which newer model? M929? The M929 can be flat towed, transfer case and transmission in neutral. But you might be looking at something else.

    Air Brakes

    Yes, but... Figure the last civvy owner may have gently driven it quite a bit.

    Air Brakes

    Most likely it got new gauges at reset so what it shows is what's been put on it since reset. Not all engines were swapped. The data plate on driver side front of engine will tell you if so. The rust proofing by KS was unparalleled.

    Air Brakes

    A KS RSMS truck. In my experience the KS RSMS group did a superior job reconditioning them. Contract cost was $65k per truck.

    Air Brakes

    Also, I haven't had a pyrometer on an 8.3, but that sounds higher than I'd want to see. Insusoect someone tampered with the fuel settings.

    Air Brakes

    My best guess says your PPV failed and your compressor isn't shutting off. You're hitting 150psi and hitting the pressure relief valve. The root cause is moisture in the system. Confirm my diagnosis and replace the PPV as a start....

    Largest dual tires for 5 ton?

    Pictured are 14.00 XL's, known for catastrophic failure without warning. I believe to run 14.00s dualled you're going to need wheels with a different offset. My personal opinion is the width legal aggravation isn't worth the trouble. I guess it all depends on where and how you're going to...

    Largest dual tires for 5 ton?

    Dualled 14.00s on bridge truck rims fit, but put you overwidth if I remember correctly.

    Buying HMMWV from law enforcement agency

    Under the right circumstances, that could be construed as theft. Not worth the potential trouble. JMHO

    LED headlights won't fit in the can

    $450 a pair, if it's the military version with the correct connectors, is below market value. (Neither my screenshot nor yours is the military version of the lights. The military version is hard to find) Patient stalking and a willingness to buy one light at a time yielded me a pair for my...

    LED headlights won't fit in the can

    That's just over half typical price.... and the military connectors are higher.
