Here's hoping! :)

Bloody brilliant! Work like a gosh darn charm, thanks so much! :-)

So, pulled a dumbass 939 series rookie move. The dipstick on the 931 a 2 I just picked up today was about halfway between full and add so I decided to top it off. Looked at the overall capacity but, like a dumbass, didn't read the freaking dipstick that said add 2 quarts at the low mark. I added...

So what is the updated and acceptable interval for an oil change?

Ok need clarification/updated info. 1980 M916 - Lube order says (best I can tell) straight 30 weight oil. Is that STILL good info or is there something better for the Cummins NTC 400?

Actually found a better option. Gonna pick up a 2" Holland 5th wheel on the way to pick up the trailer. I will keep that option in mind for the futrue though if I end up needing the adapter. Thanks so much to all who offered suggestions!

Crap, any other source that you know of? Know anything about this place in the UK? https://ucukltd.com/store/body-and-chassis-parts/king-pins-and-components/a0858-king-pin-adaptor-2-to-3-5

I have to order the adapter

Thanks for the reply and pic. So, if the trailer looked like that as far as tilt, would that be ok to do for a recovery just to get it home and then maybe look at using a lower profile 5th wheel or something (provided that there are no clearence issues during a turn)?

Hi, in the market for a truck to pull my m129a3 trailer and was looking at all the tms I could find to determine if an M916 is too tall (5th wheel height) to haul an M129a3. Haven't been able to find data on the 5th wheel height for that or an m818. For the trailer, it lists the "upper 5th...

Do you still have your truck for sale?

What are your thoughts about drilling into the frame to mount the hitch and approach ramps?

WIth respect to the clutch concern, with the deuce "officially" rated for 10k, reality being much more, everything I've ever seen on SS seems to support that it will do twice as much without a problem. If I use the "7 speed" shift pattern rather than 5, wouldn't that help the clutch?

Any thoughts on mounting position of the hitch and follow up reply I posted about the hitch/mounting height?

What is "ideal" clearence? It is a sliding hitch so any thoughts on mounting point/towing position with regards to the slider? Thanks for the input.
