    U6TL: Battery or Anti-personnel weapon? You decide...

    I would drop those TL's like a hot rock...anytime I have a TL failure I immediatly replace them with batteries from Advance (I get the family discout). Get the highest CCA you can and you will be fine. Use wood blocks to keep them from shifting around.

    818 power, tips and tricks?

    I was told my my old logger buddy (that uses 818's for pullout trucks) that you would be better off to just upgrade to a 400 Cummins already equipped with Jakes. The cost of all those upgrades are going to get you into the price range of a pullout 400 from a truck recycling yard.

    One thing to remember is that not all kingpins are spaced the same distance. You may pull one trailer and have adequate clearance and get up under another one and be right up against the spare tire rack, etc. That is one reason civilian trucks have sliding 5th wheels (that and to redistribute...
