As we have 2 CUCV's that are used for Ranch trucks and there is a huge difference between haling and towing. You can put on a ton and a half of salt blocks and go anywhere and make good time, you hook it to a 16 foot goose neck trailer and you can walk ahead and get there sooner, then hook it to...
For what its worth, I took out all the ducking/wires out of the top and replaced with plywood, turned out nice I thought. If I was to do it again I would get better screws to go into the aluminum. I did the sides, like in your photos the same where needed. The reason I took all the wires out ...
The pump is working good, it did get hot but not dangerous hot and the T-case was working good all 2 days until setting the final drive on the dozer. I mean it was so close it was like a wind chime so I had to boom down to take load off and it would not self destruct. So today we took both drive...
So let me begin with we were using the M936 today putting together the final drive on a Dresser DT15 and all of the sudden the truck tries to take off. The T-case will not go in neutral, even when it is in neutral. I got under it and checked oil, all is good. It is hot where you can't hold your...
That must be what I am doing wrong, I did not know that there was 2 different ones made, so where does one find a support bracket for the newer style starters?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I have really bad luck putting on the new aftermarket starters because of the support bracket. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but when the bracket is on the 2 starter bolts will not want to start right. I have had them break the housing where the stud bolt...
We use Hercules and Power King 10 ply mud and snow, we get them in Bias ply, our pickups never see highway use so I am not sure that will help you. They last about a year or better, lots of rocks here and rough roads and not many flats, knock on wood!!!
I hauled them home using a Chevy Kodiak cab and chassis and trailer, took everything including the kitchen sink for the "just in case". Way cheaper than hire it out.
I think I will try swapping the front plates, that will be the quickest and cheapest. All I will have to do is file down where the torque converter rubbed a ridge where the oil seal sits. Thanks for the idea!!!
So here we go, have some questions for all you transmission gooroo's. The 6 bolts that hold the flex plate on the engine came loose and let the torque converter eat its way into the transmission and messed up the seal on the output shaft. I did not know all of this at the time, I just thought...
So I am thinking about putting backup lights on the M872A1 cattle trailer because sometimes the sun goes down before we are done working for the day. Sometimes there is not a pickup to shine the lights on when needed backing up to a loading shute.
So I ask how does one go about wiring it so I...
