I do not think it is 10 years based on the amount of older reserve equipment that our county fields.

That tire has been used for decades. I do not know when they started with that size tire. Try looking at the date code on the tires.

Anything is possible a lot depends on the weight distribution and if it is top heavy with the generator. Personally I hate trailers that are narrower than the towing vehicle. Are you talking around town or on the freeway? Does it have a suspension? The tires are an old trailer size. Does...

If you read the actual CA vehicle code it states with a class c you can only operate a 3 axle vehicle with a gvw of 6,000 or less. The non commercial b is for house cars, motor homes, over a certain length. The non commercial a is for house cars, motor homes, fifth wheel and horse trailers...

The rear tires are common to airfield support trailers. The trailer looks like it was once some sort of aircraft support trailer. It is designed for low speed off highway use.

It is not that small or light compared to industrial diesel generators of similar size for the 5 and 10 kw versions. A typical 1800 rpm Kubota powered 6kw industrial generator is 24" wide, 24" tall and 36" to 44" long and weighs about 500 lbs. This is a common generator found in an industrial...

In this day of the Internet there is no such thing as dead heading more than a couple of hundred miles. The exception to this rule is company, or dedicated, trucks that only haul a specific cargo and do not do side jobs unless you are connected. I just had a pickup shipped 1200 miles for $900...

If you contact the mack museum and give them the vin they can at least get you a copy of the build sheet. What are the specs on the truck. I do like mack R series trucks. Used to haul overweight loads with one. My truck had a twin stick in it, it used to freak people out when I shifted through...

Most Allison's will not shift if you lock in 1st, what you may have felt is the converter locking up. How much did the rpm drop when it shifted? There is no guarantee that the military did not specify some unusual configuration to the allison. Do you know if this is the original transmission...

The allison is a great transmission when driven and operating correctly. Is this allison operating correctly, has an allison tech verified the operation? My trucks will not get up to temperature unless I block the radiator. Was the transmission up to operating temperature at the start of the...

When towing a tractor trailer. The tractor is usually just aired up to release the maxi's and air up the air bags. A service and supply, emergency, line is run to the trailer. If you need the truck air brakes to function there is an existing port on one of the valves for that, just remove the...

Because your parents live and work in California.

Blowing a tire is not the end of the world, as long as you do not panic. When I was young I used to drive professionally and we were constantly overloaded. Blowing a rear tire, even loaded, at freeway speeds was no big deal. I remember driving on a two lane interstate, in the left lane...

There web site contains some contradictory information. This is from the statement about the Seattle incident. "While our vehicles contain limited elements of their military origins such as the original frame rails, the vehicle is fully refurbished, modernized and updated to meet and exceed...

I was at a massive commercial working truck show recently. It was funny that trucks were playing musical chairs all day long. 18 wheelers were backing down the isles to let other trucks get out. The interesting thing is other drivers were more than willing to spot the trucks backing up but I did...
