If you were driving in mode where all wheels are locked you are limited to 5th gear max.

I wouldn't be so quick to bad mouth it mine works fine, even during the winter. Yes I do use mine all the time, I air down when I leave the road I have better traction. I even air down to cc mode when I'm in some of the surrounding villages that never see a grader blade, the ride is better. if...

Also being a vw guy I had an engine case put together and did the top end my self. I like synthetic oil so I filled it with 5 w 40 synthetis and in to the snow trac it went with in 50 hrs I broke a valve. Had a talk with an aircraft mechanic he determined the head had been hot,than I talked...

They are easy to start with out getting underneath, turn the master on cross sand t on the steice connector. A much better way in my opinion would be to lock the trans in natural, that way the would be thief cant drive it away once started, or build a lockable cover for the master switch.

It is one I read a while back, there another one out there that has waste oil new motor oil and waste atf added that test I believe amsoil and power service wouldn't donate their product. They also tested the products that the bulk suppliers are adding to the fuel to make compliant for use in...

Good point, some folks like to insert some of my vehicles sometimes because, I know my machines and their capability's so well, I can generally push a any vehicle much farther than other people on account of the fact I understand the machinery. sometimes folks see where I take my rigs and think...

Because of that there should be a turbo cut out on the governor, that will shut the air compressor down under high boost.

If you are caught it is against federal law to remove or defeat required emissions systems, and with catyletic converters I have known a mechanic that was jailed for removing one and putting the car back into service. It was only a temp deal I never herd the out come but the us marshals were...

The other thing I notice there isn't a daily brake inspection done on that thing because there looks to be no way any one is going to squeeze under it to check them.

One can make the argument they aren't on the road all the time, but the retirees seem to spend an awful lot of time on the roads in those, even though I cant understand where they get the money to fuel them.

I used to have to cheat on the old ford Windsor blocks, and use a couple beads of super glue to hold the gasket and t-stat in place. Both mating surfaces must be clean and level, use a file and run it across the surface a couple time to check for low spots. a wire wheel can do a lot of...

Actually sulfur is a lubricant and that is why its added to hypoid gear oil, it will help lube the moving parts in the fuel system. The article is biased on the emissions side, and states it will harm the emissions system not the moving parts. The reality is all diesel fuel sold meats the ATSME...

Don't waste time trying to drain fuel, I have dealt with lots of equipment that has sat for extended periods of time they run just fine off old diesel. Do treat it with a good bioside ,and plan to change a few sets of filters as the old dead bugs get caught, after the first few tanks the bugs...

pm me mailing info I will send you the 2 that came off mine I replaced them with heated mirrors that will de ice up here in the arctic.

I am glad I'm isolated off the road system, where I don't have to wonder into stupidity like that. once a year an enforcement officer comes up I go through an inspection than I'm good to go

sounds like a sensor issue there are different glow plug controllers based on what box you have the kds box I believe uses the yellow band controller. Also ensure the engine is properly grounded, the 6.2's and 6.5's were notorious for dissimilar corrosion on the bolts running through the intake...

I remember a ps article back when they were having control box issues, where ps wanted operators to count off 15 seconds, if the wait light stayed on longer than maintenance was supposed to replace the box. Now things may have changed with the latest boxes since I retired there for a while the...

reading the article, the use of 2 stroke oil is going to damage your emissions system, like egr, and dpf, I could see it gumming up a vgt to, but it isn't going to hurt your injection system. As readers, I wouldn't worry about it I haven't seen a tactical vehicle with that stuff on it come up...

an lmtv with a 5 yard bed with sides on it would likely be a smaller package, the real question you should ask your self is, do you need all wheel drive. if not just pick up an international or f800 with a dump bed off a state surplus auction, and drive on. It will cost about the same as a duce...

You also have to remember, once something is impounded, the burden of proof of ownership falls on you. If you don't have a title, have fun getting it back. This happened to me one time with an piece of off road equipment, the tow company would give me back the trailer but what was on it was...
