Does not even look like GL put their hands on that one.

If he does do this, I dont think riding the train will help much. whether he want to go offroad or not, he just might end up on the tracks.

DON'T put it on the road, without brakes. Find the leak, refill and bleed the lines. You have almost 14,000 pounds rolling down the road. Even a couple miles is to far without them. what happens if soccer mom pulls out in front of you with?

If he only needs a 5th wheel, why not just get a dolly?

It is a nice looking winch truck. I am curious about the wiper motors, I have not seen ones like that. Also, interesting to see the tire size difference.

I have a set of dropside bow on my non drop truck, and I like it that way. I can pop them apart while still in the bed of the truck. No screw driver needed.

Good to hear.

I dont claim to be an expert on mechanics, but i am learning. I have read the TM's, talked with people here, and know a couple people close by if need be.

Very nice looking collection, I wonder what is going to happen to it.

Thats ok even with the link gone I know which ones he is talking about. Never seen one broken down like that

Must be something with the commercial plate then, cause everyone i know who has a truck does not have it on theirs. Like I said I was never told I needed one, even when I went to the inspection station. They never said anything about needing one, Just told me they cant pass it without me...

Mines not inspected yet, need tires. But the shop down the road services everything, from cars to semis. My weight class is 6. I have never heard of needing a crash bar before.

Your talking about the 8 in the circle? Upper corner by the exhaust If so, that is the trucks weight classification. same as the bridge plate, but you are supposed to change the bridge plate, when towing trailers. The 8, is for 8 tons loaded. And is painted on because the weight of the truck...

Welcome to the crazy house, pull up a chair. As was said read the manuals, you dont have to wait til you get the truck to read them. I cant believe no one has said whatever you do with your truck(s), make sure you take pics...and A LOT of them. As for counseling, there are always more out...

I have found both to be useful, in one it describes things a little better, and the other gives more info.
