During a preview all you can really do is a walk around inspection. You look for any obvious leaks, broken parts and check the fluids such as the oil, trans, coolant. I prefer to have the vehicles hauled rather than attempting to drive an unknown vehicle. Once the vehicle us at the shop. The...

How is this different from the guys that just buy a duece or 5 ton and drive it without getting a CDL or receiving the training to drive a large truck.

There is a 16 foot version of the S-280 but I have never seen one. The S-280 is very light about 1200 to 1500 lbs. they also have a 2" foam core that provides more insulation than the typical house wall. I have a S-280 that I in the process of converting to a camper. The 20 foot ISO...

Looks like an old utility company trailer.

I have a cup holder attached to the shift lever on one of my trucks.

It is ducky's meat wagon! The camo would make spence because it was not ordered by the navy

NAVFAC P-300 is the manual that covers the marking of navy trucks. This manual is available on line. The markings include "US NAVY" and the registration number on each door and the rear of the vehicle. "FOR OFFICIAL USE" is also on the doors in smaller lettering. The units were authorized to...

If you are not using the air shocks to raise the truck and only using them to dampen the suspension I would consider leaving them in there and and set it up so you adjust the pressure from the cab. They might work but it might be a fail. For 1" I would not hesitate on blocks, they would be...

Based on the 4" diameter and 120 psi the air shocks have a capacity of about 1,500 lbs each if they are vertical, if they are not vertical the capacity is reduced by the angle. This is considerably lower than your front axle weight. You would have to weigh you'd truck to see what the front axle...

What is the diameter if the air shocks? How much do you want to raise the front end? On trucks it is/was very common to use spacer blocks on the front axle to level out the ride height before air ride.

Depends on if you bought it from a private individual or GL. Either way do a full service, so you have a base line on all of the fluids. If you are not familiar with heavy duty trucks you should have a competent shop due it. What year is your A2?

The braking force of the brakes is regulated by varying the air pressure from the foot valve. The harder you press down in the pedal the higher pressure in the service line, this pressure actuates a relay valve that releases air from the trailer air tanks to actuate the brakes. There is also a...

Just drive it like a truck. I was taught to downshift to a stop and just use the brakes for the final stop.

I need to build one

New thimbles and lug nuts also tell them you are serious about safety.

Ditto

Micro lightening holes?

Bed ventilation holes to improve the aerodynamics of the truck

Take it to an Allison service center and let them diagnose it. There is a bunch of adjustments that can affect the lock up. Does it stay locked all the time or is this just an issue in certain gears, rpm or speed. When you serviced it did you drop the pan and replace the internal filter. If...

Lincoln, and the other manufacturers, has changed the numbers on the machines. The old machines were numbered based on the duty cycle and the new machines are max. Flux core is a good wire, I use a lot of it, but it has a fair amount of splatter. I do not weld enough to be able to lay the...
