    CTIS and 14R20 to No CTIS and 395/85/20

    I've done it on 5tons and deuces.. it's a workout. One at a time is the safe way - less chance to drop a 22,000lb truck on yourself....

    can you identify this wheel?

    OKC GL only allows previews after the auction is open, and only by appointment which must be made 3-4 weeks in advance, and frequently the items aren't listed that far in advance, making that impossible. Doing a preview of items 1000 miles away isn't realistic. Despite their claim of "we...

    Will these rims and tires fit my m925a2??

    You don't want an oddball sized spare. For a spare, you want a 14.00R20 on a 5ton combat rim. Should be readily available at less than $300.

    Will these rims and tires fit my m925a2??

    Fan always spins, not the shutterstat?

    The rattling is a seperate issue. I've noticed it intermittently on every 939series truck I've ever driven. When driving with tje top off it seems to come from behind tje cab.

    Space Available: Tucson AZ to OKC OK and back

    Departing 9 May (tentatively). 1ton Ram and flatbed on the way to OKC, M923 on the way back.... Edit -outbound leg is filling up, but I may still have room for small stuff. The return leg has 2 5ton axles and 6 super singles. I may be able to cram in some more stuff..

    Fan always spins, not the shutterstat?

    I drove my A0 90 miles today. I just checked the fan and it's slowly turning. It kicked on and off normally on tje extended 6% grade. Sed6's truck fan kicked on and off normally on the drive from Tucson to OKC. I've never noticed whether or not fans on the 855 turn slowly when they aren't...

    Manual Air Brake Release M1082 LMTV Cargo Trailer

    Hypothetical conversation in court: Judge - "just so I understand... you disabled the brakes on a big truck trailer? And then took it on the interstate at 70 mph behind your F150? And then couldn't slow effectively to avoid impacting the texting teen merging into traffic?" Fumbduck - " well...

    Manual Air Brake Release M1082 LMTV Cargo Trailer

    5500lb pickup (typical 1/2 ton) + unbraked 6500lb trailer + wet road + attempt to stop in anything but a straight line = tow vehicle slides sideways and badness ensues... My 1 ton ram + welder is closer to 12k, and more importantly has a bunch of weight on the rear axle. It would do it, but not...

    Manual Air Brake Release M1082 LMTV Cargo Trailer

    Was your 13k trailer unbraked? Towing and stopping a trailer with brakes is a far cry from stopping an unbraked trailer. I've done over 20k with my Ram, but with functioning trailer brakes....

    Need CDL to drive 5 ton in Texas?

    Deuces require no special licensing. At least they didn't a couple of years ago when I lived in Kingwood TX.

    Current " FL Title " wait times from GovPlanet

    Some states require title for transfer, even for off road only vehicles. Many people (myself included) won't touch a vehicle without a title.
