You forgot to say ... PUNK!!! Nah... I don't feel lucky... though I have been called "slow" a couple of times.;) My recovery team includes a driver from a Fire Dept in South Fla., a mechanic/machinist/welder, and a St Christopher medal... I have already contacted a couple of friends in Indiana...

Just when you think all has been done, you come up on something like this... my hat is off to this guy! She must be a very special lady, and he a very talented, dedicated and resourceful gentleman. Nice job. As far as turning the one for sale into a camper, I don't have the heart (nor reason)...

You know when your oil change quantities are spec'd out in gallons, not quarts... its special! I think we may have a bit of trouble getting it into their bay... maybe if I tip the front nozzle down???:)

I saw that, but since I do not intend to buy any more units, I don't feel right about going to the seller for the info. I would rather ask our group. there is bound to be several members who have actual hands on experience with these units, plus I always give more credibility to the person...

We have read the basic manuals and have contacted the factory and supposedly this unit filters via a combination of vacuum, centrifugal force and filters oils (Hydraulic, engine, etc) while also dewatering said products. my problem is finding someone in the private sector that is experienced...

sorry... here is the pic

Hi We have 2 of these units which are working fine, but are confused as to the proper utilization of ther units. Also being demilled, parts are pricey. I would just like to chat with someone that had experience with them in the service so we can decide if they are keepers or if they will move...

You know, as far as the spare goes... my dad used to say... those are rich man's problems... much like an oil change in an Aston is $1500.00 or a maintenance bill for a huey... I have the same problem with my 818's spare... I can get it down... but good grief... I don't think even Governor...

You know its scary when I start looking at mapquest! BTW, I suppose the 74,950 pounds is empty... It has got to be one heck of a hoot just to sit on the catbird seat!

OK so I brought my M35 fire truck from Minnesota... PITA but no big deal... now licensed and wondering about the streets of Miami with an occassional siren blast... next ... the 818... again, no big deal, then I saw this... this is a mouth watering machine only outdone by a tracked MV...

The $50.00 a pop price I got from a responder to my WTB post on SS and also from a seller on ebay. I was told that I could cut doughnuts out of a 20 inch ID pvc pipe of the proper length and call it good. Except 20 inch id pipe is not a std size. I may just grease the heck out of it and call...

latest price I got was $50 a pop... too rich for my blood

I have collected my set of modded hemmt rims for my fire truck, 6 395's Michelins, but before I go any further, I want to ask about mounting the tires. Are people running tubes? or doing the tubeless thing. How much of an improvement would beadlocks be? (they are pricey!!!) How fast would...

well guys... seems we are good to go (at least for now)... Is there a basic inspection that should be performed you ascertain all is as it should be? I am actually considering the use of a pressure gauge in the oil circuit of the pto to let me know if it is working. any other ideas? My spring...

Did that... all bearings are shot. replaced them, but the transfer case PTO had the spring on the pump broken in 3 places. probably the problem with the transfer case to start with. now I need to find a new transfer pto or the spring or the pump off the transfer pto Thanks

Just discovered an issue with my transfer case pto in my fire truck. seems the lubrication pump is not pumping (spring is broken) and bearings are shot. Replaced the bearings and looking for the spring. Found one in Caterpillar One source Book and I believe it may be fixed... still would like...

ditto on the rotten tube... I had a Caddy that would purr along until fuel got below 1/2 a tank... then it would die. filled her up and she was good to go again until 1/2 a tank... drove around with a fuel can until I finally dropped the tank and found that there as a pin hole on the fuel line...

Guys, just got my set of rims from Zack. Spectacular does not begin to describe them... I cannot wait to slap tires on them and put them in my deuce fire truck. The welds are excellent+++ and the paint he did, gloss black on the outer and gloss red on the inner is flawless. Thank you again Zack...

Well, I finally took her for a spin and she is a blast (specially when I don't have to open the driver's door to engage the clutch):-D I am very, very grateful that this site exists, because had it not been for recovery4x4's post and the help from the rest of you, I would not have come up with...

OK... got a solution... an elegant one at that!!! At my work 20 we have a machinist who was observing my dilemma. He saw what recovery4x4 said about the different places where you can pin the pedal to the actuator. on the 5 ton there are 3 and mine was already at the highest spot (the lowest...
