    I could haul it. I am picking up a Lmtv in Clevland and driving it back to Washington State This weekend. Does it have a plate? What is a fair price for us both?

    What to drive on a 18,000 mile trip?

    Lots of good ideas. I do own a 2001 f-350 diesel dually 4x4 has a good 7.3 with about 140k on it. It does have the auto tranny which is not my favorite but has been good so far. I also still have the 1989 M925A2 that is a beautiful truck and is very solid but it is and rides like a 5 ton that I...

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    I can get it started by jumping from the hot big terminal from the batteries over to the starter hot post with a jumper cable, which runs the starter but doesn't engage the bendix. But if I then climb back in the cab and turn the start lever it fires instantly??? If I shut it off, I have to do...

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    Starter problem I have power from the start switch to the outside small wire post . I believe the starter solenoid is bad since nothing passes to the starter when the post powers up. Where does a guy find a new one?? I have browsed through some military parts suppliers online with no luck or...

    Goodyear VS Michelin

    I have been thinking of buying a set of 1600R20 tires for use on my M925, has anyone ran Goodyear A2 or A3's against the Michelin XZL? Which gives the best ride, quietest ride, best mileage, wears well etc. Also any suggestions on where to find in Washington State? Any input would great!

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Modifications Beyond Pump Adjustments, Anybody Done Any?

    What kind of fuel mileage should a guy expect out of the 6CTA 8.3? I averaged about 6 on my long trip 1600 miles.But had high head winds. Its a 2008 dresser label on the engine and low hours I would guess since it was put in the truck. Looks like new when I peeked in the oil fill. I would like a...
