    Title Drama

    NO TITLE, NO SALE also ONE more thing, without a title, you have no idea if the seller can legally sell the truck, no matter what he tells you its not like somebody you know or a long time SSer another thing, if the seller did not take title, there may be a lot of back fees and fines that...

    900 and 800 winches the same?

    id like to mount a hyd. #20000 winch in the frame under the fifth wheel on the 819 and move the guide rollers to the very rear, since the 819 already has hyds, this would be a simple mod.

    Winch Cable Repair - Need to remove ~ 14 Ft

    ment for one use according to the TM., BUT bet the wedge star has been REUSED many times when needed in the field. a TIP, no matter if you use new or used, USE ANTI-SEIZE on the socket threads, this will help getting it apart if needed again and help to save the socket threads

    M135 Retrieval....Kind'a

    i still feel it could be hubs, if both are milled then turning the wheel WILL NOT turn the shaft, if things turn fairly smoth in still betting a good chance on the hubs, it would be VERY unlikely to have TWO broken axles and a broken third member will almost always give you a bunch of noise
