So, i looked up the abbreviation of the body style on the tx dmv.gov website, and CR annotates crane. so thankfully, the 2 previous owners were knowledgable enough to not classify it as a wrecker, and i bought from a local tow company, which bought it from the local volunteer fire dept. so, i...

so you got the dot inspection?

the only thing ill be dragging behind it is, my gn trailer. but thanks for the info, i'll definitely dive into the regs . as for them calling it a wrecker/tow truck, when i registered and insured it, i called it a crane truck. the title indicates i believe, abbreviated, cn or crn, and I'm...

I'm assuming the motor coaches/rv, bc they are an rv, only require a state bc they are reg as an rv? my reason for the questioning is bc my sec tank depletes, but can't find the leak, not even soapy water. i also read on here somewhere, not sure if i could even find the thread i read it in...

This is more for TX owners, or those that have dealt with inspection in tx. I need to get my M936A2 inspected so i can register it. i know i can register as a military vehicle, but i am severely limited to what i can do with the truck. I want to stay on the right side of the law, and reg as mil...

evidently, the wife did not need to prime it. she turned the valve on and it fired right. could something so simple as the return the line leaking cause the pump to loose prime?

guess I'm gonna have to start this troubleshooting process too. if mine sits for 2 days, it takes a few more whirls to start. more than 2 days, i have to prime it. i did find a leaking return line at the pump, replaced it, but was getting line from napa when i got called to return to work early...

Serviced with 8gal, 5 of AF and 3 of water. Would have put more water in, but the system just wouldn’t hold the full 40 qts the -10 says its suppose to hold. I filled the rad up first with 3 gal of AF, connected the rigid tub back to the thermo housing, opened the aftercooler drain, filled the...

I'm running into issues opening all the petcocks up. i guess I'm gonna have to brake the ears off and do as someone else mentioned, take them out with a socket.

copy that. thank you. I'm in the process of flushing the soap out now and will at least put 5 gal of AF in it, since we are suppose to have a cold snap and suppose to get down to in the mid 20s.

also, should my rad/cooling fan be turning all the time while the eng is running? i thought they were temp controlled.

where do you tie in the hose adapter? I'm running into a possible flow issue and started a new thread, but id like to try and flush as much as possible tomorrow before leaving for 3 wks.

today, I'm sure its a faulty indication caused by me digging into the dash panel today to fix an air leak for the wiper motor. i noticed the fuel and oil spill gauge wasn't acting properly either. i noticed the eng temp gauge running at 240, which until after attempting to remove the dash panel...

i guess v got plenty of weight to put behind the pull. i do agree though, i found it slightly more difficult, but nothing to to difficult, to pull compared to when the front didn't have the winder. i just grabbed a root and started pulling. i yarded about 50', dropped the cable, grabbed a new...

i know its an old thread, but its been useful for me and hopefully for others in the future. as for your query, the past couple days iv been messing with my set up and yes, it was work and breath taking for a fat young, but old fart like me, but i was able to manually pull al the cable off by...

The rear bridge is much beefier and is 6.750” id, the fwd bridge is 4 something inches id. If you could, could measure the id of your fwd bridge, then the rollers from the shoulder/lip to the outer edge where it’s bolted on? I swapped the lines and that fixed the drum winding direction and got...

I dont think so, just looking at the rear, it is definitely bigger than the front. But ill measure and confirm with you measurement.

So yes, something is wrong with my rollers. Copy on where the cable should run. I’m gonna swap the hyd lines to change direction of rotation of drum.

when i pulled the cable off the operational truck drum, the cable entered/departed the drum from the bottom of the drum. when i pulled the cable off the nonoperational truck to rob the level winder, the cable entered/departed the drum closest to the eng/hood (top of drum). but in order to spool...

does anyone's level winder do this while winding? the way its wrapping is the only was to wind it. the way i would rather it wind is in the unwind position. not sure if the hyd lines are reversed at the winch motor. in unwind, it spools very slowly compared to the wind direction. would...
