    Total brake failure during a panic stop

    KJ, what you don't went to go 65 MPH like some on the site want to do. I would guess the weld FAILURE was the cause, not leaking cylinder, worn brakes, ect. because all shoe brakes have some play.

    m813 over the road reliability

    I don't believe that the 915, 916, 920 is designed for more then 55 mph over a LOMG distance, could be a trans, xcase, rears heat built up problem, they were designed to pull a HEAVY LOAD at a steady pace over a long distance, NOT speed.

    Want/forsale adds

    How about SEPERATE sections for want adds and for sale adds, sure would make it easier to look for things that are for sale, also easier for people that have something to sell to find who is looking for a item. Right now you have to go though 1/2 want and 1/2 for sale adds just to be looking...

These trucks were designed in the late 40s, first built in the early 50s NEVER designed for a speed over 50 or...

    a bad day and some help and insight would help

    I tend to agree, OVER TIGHTING will cause the stud to break, then the rim will flex, putting load on the adjoining studs, breaking them, repeated tire changes will over stretch the stud when I worked for Stallion Oilfield Services, every time that a truck or trailer that came in for a brake...

    More Rear Axle Seal Questions

    Don't use anti-seize, you can really over tighten, and the DOT can give a ticket for the use because of the OVER torquing, the nut or thimble will slide better on the lubed stud, there by needing MORE torque to get the reading( over torquing, more stretch) which can lead to stud or thimble...
