Although the engine is at operating temp, the PS fluid isn't fully warmed. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times, or use a winch powered by the PS pump....

I bought a 20kw machine with single digits on the hour meter on a trailer for far less than the 803s are bringing right now. Clean enough to eat off of... Market value outside of hurricane hysteria is around $3k for a fully functional MEP803 with 500ish hours. Hurricane hysteria is driving...

"My gut feeling is the price is right" = < $500

The engines are the same. Transplanting the engine is viable.

It isn't possible to "rewire" a 400hz machine to 60hz.

Explicitly prohibited by the rules. And think about it, do you really want to increase exposure and attention to the one you're thinking about chasing?

Nobody is changing stock hard doors to aftermarket hard doors. The only thing that steers the decision away from OE doors is price and availability. At the same price point and if they were readily available, all you would see would be the OEM doors. The aftermarket doors exist due to...

The transmission with park and overdrive is a HUGE difference. The turbo 6.5 is a different animal entirely. But if the only difference is NA 6.2 vs NA 6.5 I don't think that you could differentiate them without looking.

No. If I gave you two.trucks to drive with one having the 6.2 and one having the 6.5 you would not notice a difference, presuming they both had the same transmission.

GP generally has no provision for previewing. They intend for the online ad to be all the information you need. Timeline for an EUC to clear can be 6weeks or over a year. I have experienced both. 8 weeks is probably realistic right now. Note that it's been about a year since I've bought at...

This sounds like far less work, with a much higher chance of yielding a usable answer than jacking up the truck and spinning the wheels. Although I'd go so far as to say that the chances of replacing the soft lines fixing the issue are high enough to just replace them anyway. Consider the...

I agree with JP - patient stalking pays dividends. If you're going the auction route, start watching and predicting sales price of the trucks. Look at every pic in hundreds of auctions so that anomalies stand out. I stared at 5ton auctions so much that I could differentiate where a truck was...

Torque convertor is plausible, but doesn't explain requiring ether to start.

Only one gear. On jackstands. At 1500rpm, well below the shift point. Transmission doesn't explain the requiring ether to start. Fuel problem explains all the symptoms. I've experienced these exact symptoms on more than one truck. It has always been a fuel problem. It has either been...

The advantages to getting one from a reseller/private sale are that you don't have to wait for the EUC, you can examine it and test drive it, and you benefit from their (presumably) greater knowledge. Auctions are a great unknown, but nothing there is deliberately misrepresented. Private sale...

Transfer case - down is high, up is low, and there's a N in between. Same speed in 1-5 that you're getting in 1 because you're in 1 either way. I still say it's air entrainment in the fuel lines.

I went back and replaced the main draw bar pin with something easier to swap back and forth without tools. Makes flipping the lunette a 10second operation. I chose the pin with the most taper at the point - makes it easier to thread through the shock.

Agreed, and further I'll say this - If a DPF were a good idea it wouldn't need laws mandating its use and prohibiting its removal.... Clearly it isn't a good thing, thus it requires coercion to get used.

Diameter is fine.

Somethings wrong. I've ran 14.00 super singles thousands of miles at 55-60psi without asymmetric wear. Your asymmetric wear is from a different cause. Your psi stencils were put on at the unit level, and are intended for the A0 trucks with G177s. Mistakenly put on your A2 truck.
