But seriously yes I understand weights and how to properly load a trailer and the importance of brakes on a trailer. I don't do anything to just skirt the law or just because I can. Just don't like it when someone is rude and insulting for no reason. Treat others how you would like to be...

Hahaha. That's a perfect fit for the conversation. Thank you Sir. Guess I shouldn't tell you about the time we towed our one ton Chevy home with our little 1950's GMC win h truck. It was so heavy about six of us had to sit on the hood to keep the front end down enough to turn it. Sent from my...

While thats possible "not likely" but possible. I will be responsible and have to deal with the consequences if I hurt someone. And when my deuce is able to drive 8 hours in a day at 75 or 80, to pick the silly thing up I'll do that. So untill I get it home I'll use my pick up truck and no...

Appreciate that. It's a 3/4 ton Duramax. And I pull my 14,000lb backhoe on my 6,500lb 35 foot gooseneck with it plenty. Go nice and slow. There is always some not so smart person driving too close. That's the awesome part of living in this country, you can make your own informed decision on...

I apologise if I reopened the can of worms thread. I for one appreciate All of the advice and info here. And understand every decision "I" make, about my truck is on me. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Thank you Sir, I was thinking of that after I put it together. The tounge weight on this one is 5,000. Maybe a little less since I put hitch off the end but an empty m105 even with some rough roads would never get close. If I run it loaded I may brace it up. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Ha... What I failed to do is check it while hot the next morning there was green splattered on top of the oil and I thought the worst. Then I realized there was a little stream running down the side of the bell housing from antifreeze leaking from back top of engine picking up old oil on the...

With your modification I thought about it and fashioned my own. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I live in West Texas. It is over 95F most of the year. Makes me wonder if 50 is better for the heat. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

So would the 50w Lucas synthetic be any good? Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Ok I read through the beginning Pat of this thread and holy stuff..... maybe I shouldn't have asked and now I am more confused than ever. I'll use something and I bet it will work. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Lucas makes a synthetic Gl-1 50w transmission oil that is supposedly yellow metal safe. Has anyone else used this? Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Got registered running good then this. Rear main? Thin black oil. Used 15/40 in engine. And I think it's 80/90 in tranny? Not all the time just when run good. Bought main just in case. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

So if I have engine oil leaking out of this open plug hole should that be the rear main I need to replace? And which TM should I read to help? Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Don't forget some of these original seals were leaking for years and semi rusted in the flange. And the procedure of "pull the yoke then just pull the seal out and replace" doesn't work. Sometimes you have to take the housing off the axle and cuss it out.....with a hammer while trying not to...

Gonna go a similar route thanks Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Yes Sir. Just like when the Feds tried to make machine guns and other things illegal untill you pay the govt it's due. And they wanted to put a tax on them and make them illegal. $200 bucks back then was definitely an infringement. The judge in the lower court was a WWI veteran and told them to...

Towing M105 with Civvy Pickup Can you haul an M105 trailer down the road with a regular pickup? I understand you won't have brakes but wondering who's done it? Was buying one possibly need to know what I need to get it home Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

Found an oilfeild bolt supply place, said if you buy by the "keg" of 45 bolts it was half the price of buying just 30-40 bolts. At $4 a pop it adds up quick. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk
