    M548 winch engaged with PTO disengaged?

    I am guessing the pto is engaged to a live movement gear instead of a neutral gear in the trans, this is so the f/r of the winch can have multiple speeds.

    Ok, it NOW starts on either, that changes things, look at the pick up pump, make sure no scoring/burnt/bad O-rings/seals, REPLACE the O-rings in the primer, worse comes to worse REPLACE the WHOLE primer unit, next then pull the ip you have nothing to loose at this point, again look for...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    I can not say ya or na on the above, what I do know is that using anti-seize will allow over tightening due to the make up of the anti-seize which in part is designed to REDUCE friction which in turn will require more torque to get the correct friction torque reading, the fed/states DOT take...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    [/COLOR] In a lot of states as well as the feds, it is against the law to use ANTI-SEIZE/grease on lug nuts / bud nuts, about the only thing allowed is something like WD40, the reason for this is NOT that because of the anti-seize allowing the nuts to come loose but because of the chance of...

    Broken inner budd nut

    If there is a AIRED UP tire on the rim be VERY careful about getting the rim hot, the heat WILL migrate to the air in the tire, causing the air to heat up and expand which in very short time cause a BIG bang, which by plan there is a very good chance you WILL die.

    Fuel mixing guide

    I would NOT use atf because it has friction enhancers to make the clutches grab better as one of its components, so that being said, I do NOT believe the IP or the INJECTORS need or will like friction enhancers AND if I am right, my wallet will NOT like friction enhancers ether. JUST NOT WORTH...

    M1085a1 Wrong Fuel, Now Won’t Start

    Does it turn over FAST, with not starting on either, since this cuts out the fuel system and there is not much else between start and not start , I am guessing the rings or valves are burnt bad, the engine SHOULD fire on either even if turned off

    B-29: The "Kee Bird" Disaster

    Since this thread was brought back up, so reading the above statement that ASSUMES that the whole MV world knows why the above was made, and being that most of the MV world does not KNOW as the poster ASSUMES, SO WHAT HAPPENED and WHY THE above STATEMENT?

    M1070 Tech & Tips

    The answer is should be YES and NO, Yes as long as the ratio stays the same, should be no difference. No because how the diffs are placed, putting a LH in place of a RH or vice a-versa will change the direction of rotation, this would be BAD for a multi axle truck and a REAL surprise with a...

    I would recommend that you get the 20 and the 34-Ps (parts tms) for your truck, they WILL really help you finding where parts are.

    Bleeding brakes

    BFR, a member that has not been on site for a while HARD lined his remote to deal with this issue, he had a open/close valve just under the remote and a quick disconnect coupling below that, this setup worked great when pressure bleeding, a flex brake line could be used instead of a hard line...

    Did I throw a belt?

    This may be a DUMB question but due to title of this thread, I will ask it anyway, HAVE you raised the hood YET to access WHAT went wrong, OR you still THINK you know what it happened and going with the THINK as to the issue??? I guess you now know why MV owners are told to ALWAYS carry a spare...
