I dont know if Iowa offers this option but I have my 5 ton registered as a farm truck in North Dakota its a non-commercial private use designation and the only stipulation is that I am not supposed to use the truck more than 400 miles from my farm address, which I never do anyway. Iowa is a...

Wow does that look good! The 712 is a really great truck also, darned nice setup!

I dont know if the hummer is a mechanical tach or not but if it is detach the speedo cable from the back of the tack and put a few drops of oil into the jacket that surrounds the cable, if you can pull the center part of the cable out do so and lightly oil the entire length and it should just...

Comparing a 920 to a 939 series 5 ton is like comparing a 5 ton to a Deuce. The 920 is a pretty big and very tall truck I think if I remember right the stock top of the stack was just a shade over 12 ft.

Like everything there are the good and the not so good! The CAT engine is a very decent piece but very expensive to repair, CAT is very proud of their parts. The A3 has CTIS (central tire inflations system), in theory this is a grand idea but in the real world in which we live it can be...

I know this is hind sight but I would say you would have done better to find The A1 trucks with the reliable as heck 855, they have always been my go to engine or just about everything I own and they are pretty tough unlike the little turbo job in the A2 trucks. I suppose you must have CTIS on...

Sure a nice looking truck! When I saw it the very first thing I thought about was the CTIS and what a PIA they can be, then read your post and was not surprised in any way! Take your time on it and be thorough in troubleshooting then when you get tired of all the messing around there is a CTIS...

WAGO connectors work great but the same rules apply as to any other good connector, make sure your wire ends are clean and prepped and use doe diligence when fastening them down, they work good! The other connectors that have the shrink wrap and the solder inside sure do seem to work good and I...

What is the vehicle we might be talking about? What is the year of this unknown vehicle? Does it have a model and or type designation? Is it olive drab in color? Just a bit more info would help a whole lot!

I was painting my Deuce a few years ago and wanted the flattest OD green I could get and after spraying a fender and letting it dry I saw immediately that it was not going to work at all. It was so flat that the paint was almost a bit porous and the first dirt, dust mud whatever contaminant hit...

What I have always found in all my trucks is a bill for about 1K, thats what it costs me to get everything after I find it all gone! Its very refreshing to see your score, great job!

I sure sounds like you have done everything that I would have done to try to free that sticking valve, unfortunately that only leaves one thing and that is to disassemble the valve itself. It could be any number of things from contamination to rust that got inside at one time, all you linkage...

Lefty the shutoff solenoid is certainly a inexpensive place to start, you could swap that our pretty easily. Could it have anything to do with that electronic box that sits on the firewall in front of the driver, I think they call it the PCB box its supposedly affords some protection to the...

Thanks much for your input guys I got the repair made and pressurized the cooling system to 10 psi and it held pressure for 90 minutes with no visible signs of any leakage. I think I can work with that! Thanks again for your input!

Thanks much guys and I do agree with all your responses but will try the blue leak sealer they do claim its a permanent fix, guess we shall see? Thanks again for your assistance!!

Hey guys I bought an engine out of an M37 its 100% stock and I got it for not to much money and it runs fine. I had it running in a chassis and when I shut it off and went into the house for a couple hours and when I cam out there was a very small puddle of water under the engine, I started...

When I take my trucks to shows I always stand right there to answer any questions etc. and I lock the passenger side door so anybody that want to sit in the truck has to have my OK to do so. One thing I noticed at my first showing is that when the show is over you still have to be with your...

Hello Karl here in Fargo ND how have you been? Its been a long time since we have talked, I assume your surviving our more than interesting winter and all is well? Besides it seems my second home has been in the tractor cab this winter all is going OK, the last few weeks with no heavy snow...

powerstroke what part of SD are you from? We have a fair number of members in ND and SD and like to keep track of us and be able to invite you to some of our Get togethers in ND!

The torque multipliers work very good I mean to the point that you need to be careful, if you want to get aggressive you can snap off a 1/2" stud like butter!
