350db? Really?

The goal is to get the truck onto a trailer for transport. Options- 1) try to air up the existing tire on the truck. It's likely an O-ring or CTIS problem and will hold air long enough to get loaded. This is the best option. Least amount of work and highest chance of success. 2) if it wont...

That is NOT an M977 HEMTT rim. Discussion as to whether an M977 rim will fit an MTVR will yield information that is irrelevant to the OP. I agree that unless other information is forthcoming, the OP should plan to swap tires but not wheels.

How many amps do you need to run at any given time? Presumably you're doing load balancing, but there's still a number you need to hit. What is it?

I hate to hack on trailers. So here's how I resolved it - Although I don't have a tailgate now, it didn't interfere when one was present.

As I understand Steve, the fan is locked and turning with the engine at engine speed when the engine is running. Not being carried along by parasitic drag. Not "completely normal". Fan is engaged when it shouldn't be. And unable to turn by hand when the engine isn't running.

Any reason not to do this preemptively if you have the old style cooling loop?

I have a question (obviously). I understand why we don't want ATF in the hubs, diffs, and air cleaner. I don't quite understand why a moderately overfilled t-case is a bad thing. It states it'll overheat. What is the mechanism? In another unrelated application, deliberately overfilling a G56...

Drifting way off topic, but similar check digits are sent as part of the framing and line coding of standard telecom signals. This allows the receiving station to know whether data was dropped- if your check sum doesn't match the data, then you know the data was corrupted.

Absolutely agree. The first thing to do if having fuel issues is replace every soft line between the tank and the engine. The fittings are also suspect, as is the lift pump itself. Also the pick up straw in the tank. It can be maddening and frustrating beyond words. I went through this...

The prime button should have a rubber cover over it. Missing cover is a possible indicator of an old pump. Using the prime button should be a fairly rare event, after changing a filter or cracking the lines or something similar. Priming should not be routinely needed. I suspect your lift...

Possibly air in the lines. The fitting at the top of the lift pump is a prime culprit. Can you describe symptoms in more detail? Is it driveable?

Which truck? Which engine?

Perhaps it's in kG?

Yes, on HEMTT rims. On 5ton combat rims they rub. HEMTT rims are really the only viable option with the 16.00's. This adds weight and cost. That said, 16.00's are still my first choice unless bottom end acceleration is an issue.

14.00's 16.00's 395's

There's three choices for sizes. 14.00s are the super single that the military used on the 5tons. They measure out at 48" or so tall. 16.00's are what were used on HEMTTs. They require a different offset wheel to avoid rubbing up front, and can still hit the bed if you really try. They rob...

If you're rolling when you go to shift it makes it smoother.

It's possible to lock the steering on the 989a1s. Doesn't really help. Presumably if you wanted to back straight up, and were perfectly aligned truck to trailer before locking the steering, and were perfectly aligned trailer to target before locking the steering, then locking the steering...

I'll back this - And I'll back this - This- This - This - This - And if really needed I'll even back THIS- But under no circumstances will I ever willingly back this -
