    M923a2 pulling question

    Override disables your rear springbrakes completely, but the service side will still function normally. I've driven them like this (NOT a recommended practice !) And still had normal function on the service side. FORD MECHANIC, you may know something I don't. If so, enlighten me...

    M923a2 pulling question

    It should have spun the tires though, even on dry pavement. Especially on anything other than dry pavement.

    M923a2 pulling question

    I've spun all 6 in high transfer, 1st gear, 16.00R20 53' tires. This is with an "A0" truck and NH250. I've dragged a 16,000lb trailer with locked brakes , on pavement, with an A2 truck....

    Air pressure light and alarm won't turn off

    Corroded sensors and likely moisture in the tanks. When these fail, they fail "on".

    Went to the Overland Expo today !

    Sure you are. Tubes of different lengths will have different resistance to flow. Is is a significant difference? Probably not....

    Went to the Overland Expo today !

    Think about tubular header designs and how they tweak length and curves to optimize airflow. Or aftermarket high performance cold air intakes. I suspect much the same was done in the design of the OEM intake setup on the lmtv. I'd be hesitant to tamper with it without good reason. Putting it...

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    In theory they send you a letter and you hand over the truck for shredding. I suspect this hasn't played out completely yet. Remember the EPA shutdown? Or the first M934A2s? Or the M1101s with the prohibited mounts?

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    If this were the first title from GL/GP/gsa it'd be an easier fix. I've seen those fixed with a call and an email. The thing is, it has now been titled in PA as a 2012. It may or may not have also been titled in FL as a 2012. (My best guess says it was). In novacainefix's example, he was...

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    I would be extremely hesitant to bring it to the attention of CALI authorities. Resolve this upstream and present them the resolution. My call to cali DMV yielded the info that they'd want to hold onto the vehicle until/unless it was all sorted out. They led me to believe that they'd consider...

    NHC250 alternator pulley loose, throwing belts!

    Why would the shaft get hot? I'm not doubting you, just wondering how. .

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    Here's my best guess asti what happened- This was one of those trucks with a blank dash data plate. In those situations GP has the buyer fill out the SF97 request form, to include year. The original purchaser saw an opportunity to inflate his truck's status, so he stuck 2012 as the...

    Indianapolis to OKC, or Indianapolis grab and hold

    A large welder on a small trailer. 2" ball. I put it on u ship, and also getting a quote from veritread. If someone could get it to KCY, that'd work too.

    1986 m1008 value

    If I'm buying, I'm thinking around $2k. If I'm selling, then maybe as high as $3500. As stated above, the main appeal at this point is the 456s with lockers. It's going to be a hard sell, unless you find that guy that wants an OD chevy. The main appeal to the MV enthusiasts (at least me)...

    NHC250 alternator pulley loose, throwing belts!

    The A2 pulley has a keyway as best I can remember. And I'm thinking the alternators are interchangeable across all 93series, so I'd expect a keyway on the nh250,as well. I'd start by pulling it, realigning it, and cranking it down. (Which is obviously what you're doing) I never had to replace...

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    EUC is unrelated. Previously when a demil code has changed, they have recalled the items already sold. It will be interesting to see the outcome: either you lost everything invested beyond the original purchase price, or you now have a truck worth 6 figures.
