    Two piece to single wheels

    Has anyone gone from two piece wheels to single wheels for 16R20 tires? On Boyce’s website they manufacture single piece wheels for a 5 ton. The reason I asked is no one around DFW will change the 16R20’s on my 2 piece rims.

    Starter to Alternator Wiring Replacement

    After installing a new civilian alternator the cables from the starter need to be replaced because they are too short. It appears to me that power wires going to the driver's side are spliced into these two cables. Can someone tell me if this is true and how do I lengthen the alternator...

    M939 Series Vehicle Inspection in Texas

    I register my M923A2 with regular plates. The inspection checks lights, turn signals, back up lights, windshield wipers, etc. The DOT part inspects the air lines, brake liners, engine hoses. They then test drive using the brakes till the air is gone and wait for it to build up. It’s not to...
