You can almost always tell if a center pin is sheared if the vehicle is "dogtracking". That is when the rear axle don't follow directly behind the front axle, causing the vehicle to "walk" crooked. Then one has to measure spacing of each axle between the tire and fender (or tire and bedside on...

Nice

Even pulling a M105 with an M939 truck has issues. The trailer is too narrow to see when backing (by the time you do see it when backing, it is already starting to jacknife). Being so short, it jacknifes very quick, and with an ABS equipped power unit pulling a non ABS trailer, it is very hard...

Yes, OTC is high quality!

It works to break free corroded fastners. It "creeps".

Be careful of the slosh effect if the tank isn't full. Not sure if them tanks have baffles to reduce the slosh effect or not.

Ok. Nevermind on the early shifts. I think it was hitting 2nd and just smoothly hit 3rd and I wasn't feeling it. When empty it hits 3rd hard. Forgot pic too.

Used the M1008 along with an M1102 to haul 3000 lbs of merch. 1000# per pallet. Took it easy on the trailer and only put one pallet in it, two in the truck. Funny how with all the weight it shifts into high at 25, yet empty and no trailer it winds it up to 35 before hitting high gear.

I'm guessing three weeks.

Just rotate the batteries now and then. I do so even with all parts stock.

Please share part numbers as well. I'm sure plenty folks would like to upgrade.

Well, I cant chance a 1/2 ton. I hate restrictions!

Shoot, I run my $4k vehicles 5 years and just scrap them after 5 years! Beats putting out $80k!

Loaded it up with just at it's weight capacity with 25 HMMWV airlift bumpers. I usually drag a trailer to load heavier loads but decided to just load the truck today. Springs still have arc left with the load. This truck sure runs good but nature is calling her, trying to turn her back to dirt...

Wow! Sharp truck. Congratulations.

Tried the string alignment this past week and realized "I can't do this" because I have HMMWV rims on the back but couldn't use them up front because of contact with calipers. Decided to attempt the tape measure like I did with the 5-ton and gave 1/4" tow in. Test drove and still pulled hard...

This all seems so odd. Shouldn't the springs (if made for a certain truck and weight) be made correctly from the start with no extra leafs needed?

Here's a photo of the rubber boot that covers the parking brake lever assembly underneath. You can see the brake light switch as it is clean from handling and oil.

Sorry, no pics. Oily hands at the time. From underneath the switch is directly below the parking brake lever/handle. There is a rubber cover over the part of the mechanism underneath and the switch is clearly visible on the right (passenger) side of the mechanism, protruding through it. You cant...

Brake warning light was stuck on from parking brake switch. Took it out, shot some WD-40 under the ball bearing and got it working by pushing the bearing in a bunch of times. Put dexron 3 under the ball bearing and put the switch back in and switch functions normal now and brake light goes out...
