I have found that the thicker aluminum wheels sometimes need longer studs. May want to check before painting.

Did this a while back and thought I would share the idea. I got two M105s last year with the end curtains stitching coming undone. Since these are for use and not restoration I just attached the end curtains to the bows with screws and washers having small center holes. Could paint them so they...

Not only that, even pulling one empty with a 5-ton is tricky (if you like your tires), especially if you are spoiled with the truck's ABS. It was all I could do to not make the brakes lock on the trailer pulling with mine. Looked behind me to a smoke cloud a few times. Had the same issue with...

Good info there. Thanks.

Three posts back. No air to hydraulic on my A0s so I figured they wouldn't make the A1 have air over hydraulic brakes. Still pretty risky with a forklift, unless you operate it yourself. Then you know the operator cares.

Federal law states no log if less than 100 mile radius from where truck is housed, even with a DOT number and used for commercial purpose. That is federal law.

Definitely wasted more money on lesser "things".

M1082 has full air brakes. Can't see them going backward on the A1 model.

Same plug in mine but it is black plastic.

Is that another M105 behind that 1st pic? Also, if the end curtain is coming off you could attach it directly to the bow with screws and large washers with small holes. I did that to two of mine and they are holding well.

I love Ohio! Anyone can drive a "commercial" vehicle for non commercial use with a regular driver's license! Gotta have appropriate plates on the vehicle though. Ah, the land of freedom.

Cool in tan. Even has a pintle hook.

No pictures?

Thank you. I will look into that.

Sounds like fine tuning from that engine swap. Is that gasser holding up to that lead foot?

Have to figure out how the low coolant light started coming on intermittently, with the radiator completely full. Don't see a sensor on the overflow tank but looks like it's time to hit the TM combined with common sense. Darn TM can lead you to an empty wallet if you aren't careful. Yesterday...

So did it crank the engine noticably faster?

I too thought it was a second hidden switch in addition to the main battery power switch, to stop thieves. However, if it feels sloppy, the replacement is a good idea, as it could fail at a time most inconvenient.

Have never seen a data plate on my alternator but havn't looked either. Both look like the above pictures, but my starter zips pretty quick.

Yes, the batteries would start the truck regardless of the alternator's condition, if fully charged good batteries. You could just momentarily bypass the battery cut off switch to check it. Not like we have taxpayer funding to just throw stuff at these beasts.
