If you want to go with the 16.00's, the HEMTT wheels are the way to go, to avoid the front ones from rubbing when you steer. 14.00's will work fine on either HEMTT or combat wheels with no rubbing. 14.00's and combat wheels are the way my Marine Corps 817 was set up by the military. That combo...

As others said, TM's and use the search too. Probably no other subject covered more then deuce brakes on SS. Welcome to the site ! When you read up on the bleeding procedure, you can go to the link in my sig line and see how to build a great power bleeder. YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE ONE. [thumbzup]

1 safety feature is they help you not break the speed limit often or by much. Avoid the airbad angle with mom. No got

I sure hope they are a little better then that! :-) Shifting is really the only part of trucking that is becoming a lost art right? I hope they know how to saftley manage the weight and turn wide (manage the length) I am not a truck driver by trade, but I truck my grain from the farm to the...

Yep Bob, the need to use the clutch for every shift was there demise. I probably would have felt the same way about it if I learned on a 10 or a 13 speed. I will add that they have a hydraulic clutch with air assist that depresses very easy. Like driving an S-10 or Dakota with a stick. It has no...

Is it 100% confirmed that these are syncronized trannies in the deuce and M809 5 tons? I will admit that I didn't know for sure. I always have been single clutching each shift at this point. I do know that syncro trannies require the use of the clutch. Non syncro like most OTR trucks you can...

That was what I was thinking too. Got a pressure washer (one with a burner on it preferably) Clean it up and watch closely. Try and determine if it is the front seal for sure. Also keep an eye on that oil level too like others have said. Making oil is a problem if you are doing it. If not, you...

Would this be a good rule? No driving on freeways at night time. Just because of the speed difference between MV'S and normal freeway traffic. Anywhere the speed limit is 55 it would seem that it would be safer for MV's when it is dark out.

To me it just seems like a little common sence would tell you if it's OK to start in 2nd or not in a given situation. You wouldn't have to be so steadfast one way or the other (IMO) For example. A bit of a load, a starting off on an upgrade, and the big tires would make a big diff too. All...

Just like starting a truck off in 2nd gear or most any other aspect of life, IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT. :grin:

Call Professional SERVPRO® Cleanup Team Like It Never Even Happened

The carbon dioxide extinguisher wouldn't ruin the engine. Would not hurt a thing. NOW for you preventitive maintenance buffs. (and I know that is ALL of us right?) How about getting your turbo gone through before a runaway situation happens? It looks as if bad turbo seals are almost always...

I would like to add to my post #34 that I hope the OP IS OK. I am a little worried about not getting that final update. Aftermath pics, ect....

Nose about cut off???????? :shock: what? anyway if this really happened, wow. Sorry that it did. You will have your work cut out for you. I agree with this being a thread to learn from and to have a foolproof means to kill that engine handy at all times.

I have made my share of bad calls as well, but I had the starting prob with a 2004 T/C Chrysler van. It would always start, but sometimes you had to hit it a few times before the starter would work. I figured it was the starter solenoid was bad or possibly a starter relay but had no idea where...

Hack is Whack. Good job on bringing the site back! I too was glad to see the "we were hacked" message instead of the "slow site problems" one.

Good job on the diagnosis! Going to have to remember that one.

I believe he said he power bled the heck out of it. Impossible to know for sure from here, but I would chuck the MC and put a new one on. I have heard they have some kind of an internal bypass checkvalve that can stick open and cause grief. Can anyone verify this?? That would make it do what you...

Best of luck with the aquaintance..hope you 2 get a chance to get to know each other. [thumbzup]
