Hello everyone, I am seeking clarification into the way the brakes work on a single wheel variant of the M200a1 to see if i understand them correctly. If im thinking right as long as the trailer doesnt have an air supply and the tank is drained it should roll freely correct? I am looking at some...
So I picked up a M1102 out of Albany last Friday. I’ve switch the harness pigtail over to civilian 7 blade and changed the rear incandescent bulbs to 1156 and 631. Also noticed the 90a wire broken with no end on it and after some searching I believe this to be a ground so I put a eyelet on and...
Yes it is a dog on hills.....went on a test pull yesterday evening. I'm going to put a 12v cummins in it when I find one reasonably priced. I'm trying to find info on the 6.2 to 12 valve swap but all Google comes up with is where hawsers have been swapped. I figure the 6.2 to cummins has to be...
I will be going hwy 98 along the coast. I'm able to maintain speed on hills unloaded currently but am aware hills will slow me to 35-40 I hope for this area. I won't tackle any large hills till I do a turbo and better than the stock dual exhaust. According to the plate on my dash it claims my...
It has factory temp gauge for coolant. Also it is a th400 not the 80e. No on the external trans cooler though. It and an oil cooler are on the list to add soon. I'm using the 16k Reese fifth wheel with rail system
Ok so next week I will be towing my new to me 5'er rv to my vacation spot. I wish to know some things to expect when pulling this type of load with a cucv from those that have done it. The truck is a former USAF flight line truck. Non turbo 6.2 auto with 4.10s Crew cab long bed. I know it'll be...
I will get you guys more pics on Sunday once I get her home. This one will stay a long bed. No plans to bob it as I'm not a fan of how they look with a short box. Will keep the green for now at least. It does look tougher in green. Thanks for the compliments yall.
Hello yall, I am the proud new owner of a former USAF 1988 chevy V30. Not sure if you could call it a cucv or not as it is a crew cab. Unfortunately the dealer painted over the blue with green. I love the color it's just not correct for its branch of service so should I stay green or go back...
Thanks guys. It's nice to know I have some florida guys around if I need help when I acquire my MV. I do have a post in the 5 ton and up forum if you guys are knowledgable on the 939 series and can chime in I would be most grateful. Thanks again!
Being new to the MV hobby I've spent a couple of hours digging through the search archives and found some neat threads. But, nothing that have me what I was looking for. I know the CTIS can be bypassed by placing Schrader valves in the outboard side of the wheel? However the 923a2 I'm currently...
Morning guys and gals! Been a member a while doing research and just now getting around to introducing myself. I am currently looking at a M923A2 but not sure on it yet. There seems to be a great group of folks here and I look forward to meeting y'all. If anyone in my area ever needs help I'd be...
