The 2 facing the motor was gone and only 1 facing the tire was attached, the other one snapped off. Needless to say I...

    M109a3 Shore Power Cord ?

    Follow the power inlet's to their destination, verify it's AC or Dc. then be sure if it's AC the equipment is not rated for 400MHZ, I think the 4 prong is for a 3ph 400MHZ power supply off a MEP. Don

    5th WHEEL MOBILIZER ..? Hard to find..?

    The container is 9' tall, I have to stay under the 13'6" mark. I don't know if a single axle will work since the thing weights 22,000.00 LBS, I figured a double was perfect. I also do not want to go through the process of making a tong and installing axles, I would rather just get a unit made...

    A3 bed demensions..?

    Does anyone know the footprint of the standard A3 bed..? I found this bolster trailer with a A3 bed on it. I was thinking of installing a S250 shelter on it. I was hoping the bows and cover would still cover the unit. The S250 I believe is 5'8" high, 6'5" Wide and 7'1" long. Whats your...

    Whats the reason behind motor oil in the fuel tank..?

    I agree with Jollyroger, the less said the better. Thanks for any and all help. Since the Amoco 20/50 motor oil I have is free and has no real use for me I think I will keep adding a quart a tank. I have gone through 3 tanks now and have noticed a quieter truck, it does not smoke at all and I...

    Whats the reason behind motor oil in the fuel tank..?

    I guess I am a lucky guy. I have a friend who passed away 9 months ago. Tom has 32 cases 12 quarts per case, of Amoco 20-50 motor oil. Would this oil be a good weight to blend with diesel fuel.....? I guess it would not matter since the smallest tank is 20 gallons. Thanks for the input..Don

    Whats the reason behind motor oil in the fuel tank..?

    Shelter carrier hardware

    My M1028 has 2 brackets 2" from the tailgate, bolt pattern for the 2 bolts per bracket is 4" apart. The bolts run through the upper frame. Thats all I know. I decided to mount my shelter on my M105 trailer. This way your shelter is mobile by many means of transport and not just the truck, just...
