    M939 Inconsistent air pressure...

    Legally the vehicle is out of service and should not be driven if the low pressure buzzer is not working. If your air pressure is really dropping that low the brakes should apply automatically around 45 psi and if the primary gets below that the spring brakes should self apply. Are your brakes...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    Why would you ever surrender your CDL, the only additional cost to keep it is the medical. The states that do not require a CDL for a non commercial three axle truck or for towing a trailer with a gvw over 10,000 lbs have created an exemption that is not in the federal code. The federal...

    Do you have to pick up the whole lot? ie. leave the crates/pallets?

    This is a site specific issue. All the sites out here want you to take the items and crates but you can leave the pallets if they are standard pallets because they can always use a few extra pallets. Bring a cordless saw and hammer and turn it into scrap that you can haul.

    The Ever so common "Do I need a CDL" thread

    The cost can vary greatly depending on how you get your CDL To get a class b CDL is easier than a class a. You can do it on your own or you can go to school. I went to school and was able to work full time. My school did not cost anything near $5,000. Ask your employer they may pay for it...

    The Ever so common "Do I need a CDL" thread

    The Ever so common "Do I need a CDL" thread I thought the gvw was up around 37,000 lbs. Each state interprets the federal law differently. The problem is the federal law does not differentiate the use and goes strictly by weight. After CA lost there federal court case the federal...

    Can someone explain these brake canister bolts to me?

    A wrecker can not just cage and go every tow. This is reserved for really bad wrecks that are usually just towed to a safe area and loaded on a trailer. On a modern truck the air brakes are separated into the primary and secondary system. The primary system works the rear brakes and the...

    Can someone explain these brake canister bolts to me?

    98g you are wright The caging bolts are for emergency use only, they should not be used so you can tow the truck a long distance. I only use caging bolts to allow me to load a dead vehicle on a trailer when it is not possible, or practical, to air the vehicle up. Once on the trailer we release...
