Half the time the trailers are so cheap that a couple of tires cost more than the whole trailer did.

Trailer bushings are ready for prime time! Curiously, the TM 9-2330-394-13&P for the trailers lists the same NSN number for the bushings, even though they are different part numbers and clearly not the same size.

Welcome! Unless you have a lot of money for emergency repairs on the road, which will quickly eclipse the cost of shipping it, I recommend against trying to drive it home. Unlike older model trucks that they get rid of because they were replaced by new vehicle designs, these are still...

I'm not sure what can be done about it, but many of these vendors have NOS, that the government got rid of because they didn't trust to have them around anymore. I'm not saying Midwest's are old, but they may be. I ordered a cab bushing from a different vendor to measure, so that I can...

I can scan 11x17.

When I first start my engine, it generally starts within a few revolutions, runs for ~5 seconds, then dies. It then requires ~20 seconds of cranking before it will start back up, after which it will run fine. To me, this sounds like initially it's starting using whatever fuel is in the...

You can get them on McMaster-Carr (and half the other stuff on the truck too!)... https://www.mcmaster.com/connectors/=0e9ead045f82493988bde0844fc0476ek9dqc6ja

Hmm, is it plastic? We could potentially make a 3D printed one.

I don't know the answer, but I would start here: https://www.mcmaster.com/clip-on-nuts

If you can, get the A1 doors, with the forward-opening door handles, as opposed to the A0 doors with the pull up/down handles.

Did you take that lower nut off?

True, though I'm not really talking about taking it into the mountains, on steep continuous grades. Yes, it's slower there, but you don't get the shifting, and associated speeding up/down. I'm talking about rolling hills, like are found in Colorado, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, etc., where...

Yes, they are, it's simply math, and I don't say that to be rude, I mean it very literally - you can't escape a 27% change in gearing and have it be anything close to the same. The 290HP engine (28% increase in HP) and 3.07:1 (27% decrease in gear ratio) roughly cancel each other out. Maybe...

Yeah, it's fine. You just put 20% lower ratio gearing in it, you literally get 20% less going up the hills. No escaping that.

Agreed, but even an empty truck is noticeably slower going up hills with the 3.07:1 gears (20%, in fact). Honestly, with thousands of miles on them, offroading with the 3.07:1 gears isn't the problem... it's how annoying their bogging down on every damn hill you encounter on the highway. Shift...

Personally, I have the 3.07:1 gears, and they are already too big a change. Yes, you get ~20% higher top speed, but you get 20% less torque off the start or pulling up hills. I would not go to 2.87:1. If I could choose any ratio, I would want something between 3.07:1 and 3.90:1, that would...

There are actually a few kinds of door handles, that I have seen, possibly more. Those that my 3D printed design was based on... A big paddle bent-sheet-metal design, that is about 150% the size of the above style. I'm not sure if they are the same on both sides, or mirrored. (Sorry that...

It would have to be somewhat obvious. It could only be in the cab on an open, unprotected board. If it was outside somewhere it would have to be in a sealed box, which would be easy to find.

12V cigarette lighter outlet, and USB charging ports.
