Their inspection reports are not really in depth. No highway runs, usually nothing more than a drive around a parking lot. That’s why there is a lot of risk with auction trucks. For example the test run may have the trans work great in lower gears, but the higher ones may not work at all...

It depends, fuel cost, available trucks, etc... find a shipping broker to help you out is my best advice.

MY truck doesn’t have that so I have no idea

Do a search here and you will also find a “how to” on the replacement of the valves.

Easy supply chain if everything takes 15-40.

Yes nice score!! I hope you post more photos when you get it in hand. Id like to know how far they progressed this too. Personally im thinking this was a mock up for the armored cabs, hence the flat sides. Way cool truck you have, would be cool to see it finished.

Oh and the reason for the large torque variation of 10-20 is to allow a way to get the pins on the nut to align with the splined gear. I tackle this by torquing to 12, checking and increasing torque till the pin aligned, not exceeding 20. Good luck and have fun. Working on these trucks is...

Make sure you spin the hub as you tighten too. Also I go to 50 and back off a few times. This ensures everything is seated correctly. Learned this while doing many many trailer hubs, if I only torqued heavy once occasionally everything wouldn’t seat correctly leading to it loosinging up down...

And that’s why I fill freshly assembled tires mounted to the truck, with a clamped on air hose using the regulator at the compressor to control input and final psi. If the tire blows the truck holds the rim from flying. But with our style of split rim with the 20 bolts holding it together and...

You don’t need to grease the outer one it’s oil bath. The outer one is oil bathed because of its location. The hub gear reduction requires an oil over grease to keep things lubed. Adding in a seal to separate the bearing from the gears was not worth the cost. Just like the engineering and...

CTIS seals block oil passage to the inner bearing keeps only dry air going into the tires.. That’s why the inner have to be greased as there is no way to get oil to them. If yours were oil washed then you have failed ctis seals. One easy check is if you have oil coming out of the hollow wheel...

The inner most seal is the grease seal for the inner bearing(don’t forget to load the bearing with new grease, only the outer bearing is oil bath for the front axle.) the other two identical seals are the ctis seal. I think the hub goes on easier and cleaner when you can install it all as one...

Welcome from the pnw.

Did you pull and grease the inner bearing, and how did its greas seal look, the one that’s closest to the engine on the spindle. I know these seals don’t always come off with the hub when you pull it. My first hub was quite intimidating at first, and then found easier than expected, especially...

No expert but pull the ground first, then the other, then you can disconnect the batteries from each other

nope just remove the rim and the drum can come off. I’ve pulled mine off all 4 corners. Also backing off the star nut adjuster on the brakes sometimes is needed as well

Hopefully it worked. I had to make something similar to pull a hub, due to how good the seals vacuumed it on

Skookum had the contract for ft Lewis wa for a while. I believe they had some in ga as well. As for doing it yourself just search this forum. Lots of knowledge here. Thanks to steelsoldiers I’ve installed 90% of the ac system. Re built air brakes, adjusted axles, installed high speed gears...

For the most part the engine, trans stuff is standard medium duty truck stufff that any hd cat mechanic should be able to handle. The axles, ctis, electrical and non civi stuff requires a different set of knowledge. Finding a one stop shop will be difficult, while a schedule may be easy to...

1198 is red, 183a is white , 100d is black for the p14 run. No colors on the coolant switch, goes straight to the spades on the sensor. Same with the oil pressure but 126a goes to nc and 143c goes to c on the sensor
