Kill the engine, downshift, pull the parking brake but expect it to melt, pick something nonliving to hit..... I agree pinion brake should be better than nothing, just not enough. I haven't seen a satisfactory solution. Again, your dual circuit A3 brakes are the best answer...

No, and no. Neither pinion brakes nor the park brake are adequate to appreciably slow 14,000lbs from highway speeds. Your A3 has the dual circuit brakes. That's the best solution going. That, and diligent maintenance.

Five times the rpm of the axle is going to give you 5 times the friction. There's not enough mass in the pinion brake to absorb the resulting heat , even at 40mph. It'll melt. Otherwise this would be the solution to the single circuit brake problem ...

It's 1/0 cable with thicker than usual insulation making it seem like 2/0. If replacing the cable, consider using 2/0 for more ampacity.

I think I have some. Get a count and let me know what you need and I'll ship them your way.

It's 8 below and I just froze my fingers off getting these pics. Enjoy! I have confirmed that the ones pictured fit the M16A2 perfectly. Dimensions should also accommodate the M16A1. Shawnshumvee, I have additional relevant pictures available for you via text. Text me if you want...

AR and M16 rifles are the same dimensions. The difference will be A1 vs A2 and length of pull. M4 is obviously dimensionally different. Usually you can make an M4 fit something made for an M16A1/M16A2/Ar15 by adjusting the stock. I've had success putting modern M4 rifles into military rifle...

0.25" of AR500 stops standard .308 rounds. ("Standard" = 147gr FMJ @ 2750fps)

CAD - cardboard assisted design. Mock it up with cardboard, trace it and then cut it out of AR500 with a plasma cutter.

They look like headlights. They fit like headlights. But they only have high beam and off. And no, they aren't legal for on road use as headlights.

What's the shadow think of it?

You will once it happens to you. There's nothing quite like the moment of "OH +£!&#&=€€" as you turn and see your (in my case) deuce rolling away without you. Never again. Springbrakes or chock or both.

Emphatically this.

The M1008 runs out of gearing 55ish, but the M1009 will do 70. And yeah, 1200lbs...

Better yet, here's a comparison side by side of 395s, 16.00s, and 11.00R20....

16.00R20 will fit, but 395s are a better idea. Talk to simp5782 for 395s already mounted. 16's pictured.

It's the nature of the beast. I think tow rating is 1200lbs...

The one you have did just fine loaded at hwy speed across TX and NM....

You know how to search the GP site and see the sold prices on similar trucks? And you know that a $4000 bid is more like $5000 at invoice? The nonrunners are a gamble. If you get it running easily, you can end up way ahead of the game. But if it needs a new motor/transmission/etc you can end...

unintended consequences - negative pressure on the seals etc. I suspect that damage would occur.
