At this point, if the threads are knarfed, see if you can drill tap to next size up, metric or inch. Then, regardless, switch it to full depth engagement studs which have been Loc-Tite'd in, now that it is weak and been pulled out once. Then re-attach with thick flat washers and nyloc nuts...
I can totally see this, actually. The wheel diameter looks like a carry-over from the non-power steering days.
That’s a picture I snapped of Simp the last time he was up in Michigan, on our way to the Yacht Club for lunch.
Winch is 200’ of 5/8” cable, unless it came with a level wind, then it has 250’ on it. Relief pressure is 1,800psi, built into the control valve.
Exterior gauge is risk of breaking off, unless just for testing and then plug the port.
Smart of you to ask ahead of time. Trailer air should be as Simp said, one port is Emergency (constant air supply to trailer), and one port is Service (brake pedal air "signal" to apply trailer brakes).
There is a guy who makes 24v mil to 12v civilian trailer conversion adapters. I was lazy...
I know of a complete stock replacement winch in FL for $500.
Sounds like yours was weak anyway. Mine pulled me out of mud to the top of the tires, no problem, single line.
Yes. I have 2 personnel ones, new old stock. $500ea, 100% complete. 30,000BTU. The coolant ones are a bit more obscure. Most I have seen are non-functioning or in parts.
A pressure switch is added to the trans for reverse lights. 3 minute job. Switched power can be taken from the dash switch, or anything powered by it. Heater blower switch is probably easiest to get to, and has both 12v and 24v going to it.
I’d guess at least $500, closer to $1,000 if all the correct frame extension pieces are there. Others may know better though, but I do know where I can buy one for that price, so that’s my reference.
I can. If they push the “Spring Brake Override”, then lost air, she’s a runaway train. Rare situation to happen though. It is scary how many people don’t understand what that dash valve does on the M939xx’s. Would be better if not there, or labeled “Spring Emergency/Parking Brake Disable”...
The water coming through the windshield videos is what made me buy my truck to begin with. They can do it, but then the amount of work needed for maintenance to do it again reliably several years later is just completely astronomical. Most things on the truck will work underwater, but are not...
It is not DOT approved. There is no such thing. The maker of the fitting is indicating it to meet DOT requirements, which it likely does. Crops of them out of China which also say the same, and may not really have the paperwork for traceability of such.
