No Cdl required aua

I hear what you say, but when the DOL puts on your registration commercial vehicle for “non commercial use”. You get held to the requirements of the below. See it’s the director of licensing that finds that special skills are needed. No where does it say in commerce as a requirement. And it...

What works in one state won’t work in them all. I have only greatly researched WA laws, for example All vehicles or combination of vehicle and trailer over 16,000 pounds must stop at weigh stations. I’ve stopped with my dually pulling a gooseneck with a gcvwr of 26000 only to be waived...

Just slow down in the rough section, air down as well. Use the slower speeds to enjoy the scenery out the windows. Be glad that you can find replacement parts. More than one way to make a weather tight cab to hab interface. And air ride seats.

Ha, DARPA budget for the win. I say go for it!! Would be a way cool project, lots of engineering, huck bolts, and blisters.

Break the ice and do it, then report back the process and outcome. And give updates as mileage is out on. The problem is not many have done it already. I’d like to hear about it for one especially if I can simply get 300hp without sacrificing reliability, for cheap.

We drmo stuff all the time when cost justify replacement over repair. We also drmo junk all the time. Especially when the replacement may get you newer series of equipment. I can see now a lot of responses were posted as I drafted mine. The amount of knowledge here is amazing!! If this...

I think if you dynamat the interior and doors you will see great improvement. It will never be bmw quiet without ear plugs. I have added sound mat to my doors, next up will be the cab and roof. Currently my wife and I just do ear plugs for long rides. Overall it’s only a little louder than...

And this is why the unit drmo’ed it. Auctions are a gamble. I’d try jumping at the starter and see it it’s the starter. And work backwards from there. Also try the battle switch .

There are 2 widths and 2 gear ratios for these axles. What the fmtv would need is the wider axles, but they had lower gear ratios for taller tires and the hi speed gears from the narrow axle sets. True planetary hubs and cv steer knuckles to round them out. I believe the spring perches are a...

Just search air compressor bracket. Or look at your truck and check the air compressor bolts on the front housing and look for the bracket that hold the air compressor and power steering pump up that’s not attached to the front housing. Loose bolts here cause the front housing to crack from...

I have the solargizer on a generator. Never have had issues with batteries with it. Always charged and always starts.

Of back to the original question of can it safely? Absolutely, as long as you have a correctly rated trailer with either air brakes to work with the stock trailer brake system or install an electric trailer brake controller. I regularly tow 10000lbs with my ram 3500. Just make sure you also...

Good to know, WA is very strict. I was under the impression that the commercial motor vehicle safety act of 1986 that unified Cdl requirements applied to all states receiving federal assistance. And even under the fmcsa the modern version continues. But I haven’t read every state code and can...

Also requires a Cdl. Unless you convert it to an RV first. Truck is 17k, trailer around 5-6k, and and additional 12k for the load. Well within CDL territory of gross combined weight of 26001lbs.

Leaking fuel return lines.... they will all do it at some point. A few hours and some money for an easyish fix. I jut hope you don’t have an MEP-813a that this thread is talking about as it will cause electronics to make the blue smoke puff.

It’s a cheap easy fix for the flap, just have a hole in the cover for the pipe. Mine gets covered with moss living in the Pacific Northwest that I pressure wash every other year or so.

Also if it was missing the exhaust flap and stored outside... I’d expect water got places it shouldn’t and hope for leaking exhaust gaskets so the water had a place to drain.

Hertz bouncing should also come with rpm change, if that wasn’t there then the guage is suspect. Hook a multi meter to it to verify hertz. I trust the guages as much as I trust politicians. Remember these thing are built by the lowest bidder.

Just put an extension on it and a tractor flapper. Problem solved.
