    M872 34 ton trailer "quality deficiency"???

    I think my original opinion was off base as I have seen many listings since of these trailers being scrapped in bulk nation wide. Safety recall. I remember another thread id the problem with the style of frame? Can't recall the details but there is a thread here on it. Here in La, They have...

    New owner in north Louisiana!!

    I bought mine off ebay. He has since gone up on price. My challenge was that unit had sloppy welds and seams and did not fit the OE channels without banging scraping, or grinding it. It was very disappointing when I went to install and thought I had won the lottery as I sourced the 2 brackets...

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    Could you provide a pic of the mating connector, pins, and measure how wide? I got a 110v standard house 3 prong to cannon plug cable in a mixed lot and I do not know what it was originally for?

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    I found that some Mack applications do use a 3/4-20 Coolant filter. That could be your base?

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    on my 5 ton, I did use valves. The base I used already had valves and was from a Detroit application. Simple inline valves whether pvc or brass would also work. Even if you did not use valves, it would be no more messier than changing a heater hose. Wix 24070, Napa 4070 is probably the best...

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    In another lifetime, I sold parts for 20 years. I recognized your filter as being extremely common Ford filter used for 25 years FL1A, Ph8a,1515 etc. Ford L6 and V8's In a general rule but not all manufactures are the same, oil ,hydraulic,fuel and coolant filters use different threads & sealing...

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    That is an oil filter for common ford applications not a coolant filter! Wrong media/paper. Also wrong size threads on base! Coolant filters use 11/16-16

    Coolant Filter Yes or No

    The one I have used on my 5 ton has a spin on base and acts just like an oil filter. If it were to get clogged, there is a spring & bypass relief valve. There is a lot of surface area on those paper pleats. System would have to be pure mud to clog up a filter. In the HD world, once a year is...

    Glow plug question

    My wait light would only stay on for a nano second and barely visible. I took a parts gamble and just changed the glow plug temp sensor with a used take out from epay. Works like it supposed to and easy fix with an 1-1/2 socket. All is good. Mine came from Unatil? with a Make offer option ...

    Brakes, power steering, hydro boost?

    I guess I won the lottery when I installed my winch. I just filled the reservoir and turned the wheels right and left a dozen times on the ground running, checked fluid, add a few ounces, and down the road I went. :-)

    Fun with PA DOT officer ending in putting me out of service + $1200 in fines

    Just my .02 It just plain sucks to see what you have been put through. I do not have specific PA experience but will share general life experiences. Traffic and Vehicle safety is under the guise of "public Safety" but is generally a revenue enhancement process. The fact that a contracted...
