    Tire chain question

    Agreed you shouldn't need/use tools, unless you prefer to jack the tire for installation. I myself rollover the chains. Get the inside as tight as possible and then pull the slack to the outside and clip. The problem is caming over the outer clip, often there is some slack remaining which is...

    Tire chain question

    It is possible to install a tire chain assembly on any tire without a tensioning device properly however it's very difficult. The tensioner merely ensures a properly installed tire chain stays properly installed. Tire chains should also be checked ever few miles, particularly if you are on...

    If I had a nickle for every tire chain I found incorrectly installed, I'd have a M1070.

    M920 clearance lights rubber gaskets

    Matt, when I looked it up when I did my recovery the part number crossed to a ton of vendor's. I feel most of the lights on these CCC style trucks are "good enough" as far as uncle sam is concerned.

    To use a fuel additive or not in m1008

    My experience with the Mil fleet is Howes. However with my 6.4L PS and Howes may as well be water the only thing that I've not gelled up using was Stanadyne. Incidentally Stanadyne makes the ford additive. Power Service 911 is an emergency product, that doesn't work IMO. Howes doesn't back...

    My 12 volt draw is off an on. My 915 killed its batteries a few years back and then it was fine all of 2013, now it's doing it again. I haven't traced it yet but I have a feeling one of these day's I'll convert the whole truck to 12V. Wish I was closer Karl, then I could be of use. I have a...

    Recent prices for 915's?

    Taken is a relative term, I paid 3800 for mine but I think the bill after repairs service and recovery were over 8k, but my recovery was pretty unique.
