    Dragging brake on an M925A2

    9 out of 10 times the wedge sticks in the "out" position, keeping your pads spread and against the drum. Caging the brake chamber is only to release the parking spring brake, since that is on with the force of the spring in the chamber and air pressure from your truck pushes on the diaphragm &...

    Dragging brake on an M925A2

    Sounds like the wedge was sticking. I would take the brake can off and clean then grease up the wedge assembly. Had the same issue with brakes sticking. Its a common issue with wedge brakes.

    Questions for those who’ve done dump bed conversions

    I have a PH520 on my 923a2. This is the 10 ton version. I used their entire kit but ordered it with a 24v electric over hydraulic pump. I routinely had 7 yards loads of fill and crushed concrete in the bed and it would dump every time. 7 Yards seems to be the limit on a stock bed before it...

    Register a HMMWV in NY

    I havent registered a HMMWV but my 5 ton has a short VIN too. As long as the VIN is on the title then you should be good to go. The title you have is an official doc and NYS DMV has to honor it. If the first person doesnt help you, I would walk away and then return another day to try someone...

    Not sure to be honest with you. I would bet that NYS DMV wants their share of taxes.

    NYS DMV will accept a SF-97 as a title. I did it with my 923a2. VIN doesnt matter since its on the SF-97 and thats a government document. Bring the SF-97 and your invoice from govplanet along with DMV paper work and you should be good to go. The VT title route is possible but more paper...

    Gulfway Ins. Limitation WOES!!!

    Very interesting and sad to hear. Ive been with Gulfway for 5 years with 1 to 2 trucks. I do not have a garage and my plan is good until Oct. Let us know what happens. Kind of frustrating they are pulling the rug out of under us. Ill have to turn my plates in if I dont have insurance. NY...

    Horsepower

    I will give you my 2 cents. I dont have the elevation you have, which will rob horsepower from any engine but I do have plenty of experience is some bad terrain. I usually have 4000 to 5000 pounds on the truck while off roading. I have been through 4 foot of water, 4 foot of mud, been stuck...

    Rental truck to tow pintle equipment trailer with air brakes?

    Ive towed a 12 ton tag trailer weighing 5000 pounds with my 2016 ram 2500 with very crappy electric brakes and it was ok to nerve racking. I didnt have the braking capability i needed, even empty. I did keep an eye open for ideas. Ive seen a lot of rental equipment places have the Ford...

    Hey guys, unfortunately due to the current circumstances, I talked with Rausch creek and they are closed until further notice. They have no date of re-opening as of today. With that, I am canceling the May Rausch creek Rally. I am looking forward to the fall rally in October. If things...
