The Allison's take a little getting used to but if adjusted and driven right they work. A lot of the military Allison's have the shift points incorrectly set, usually to low, in relationship to the trucks power band. An Allison dealer can adjust them. The 900 series 5 tons use wedge brakes...

Nice work. do you have a drawing that you can share or at least tell us the tubing size and wall thickness. The S280 is supposed to weigh 1400 pounds per the specs. My S280 weighs in at 1500 pounds at the truck scale before we removed a lot of extra aluminum plate that was in it .

I think he is trying to say subscribed. There are a bunch more events going on in California that you are not aware of because you have not joined the clubs. You should consider joining the MVPA, MVCC and the SCMVCC to start

What is the weather like in bishop in July?

A working fuel gauge on a military truck that is a novel idea. The gauge on my truck is only off by 20 gallons

Remember that a typical forklift weighs about twice what it can lift. I have a 6000 forklift that has a 10 foot high mast and it weighs 12000 Typical dock height is about 50", so a 60" bed will be an issue. My bed height is also 60" and they have me park in the lot and load me there. I...

The real question is what do you plan in using the truck for? Does your application require an off road truck? How many miles a week are you planning on driving the truck? Have you thought about the maintenance issues? There is no power divider and the truck eat the rear tires. They have...

Did the early ones have Douglas connectors on the wiring?

The fuel bill for a truck to move 900 miles empty probably is $600 to $700 alone. Even with a back haul you have to factor in loading and unloading and securement. In this day and age unless you are running a dedicated route there is very little "back haul"

That is funny Curt makes a class v hitch that is the correct width for the frame. All you have to do is drill 6 holes and bolt it on

This may be a dumb question but, What is a PDU

I am curious about what Boyce uses for the rear suspension. I would also hope for that money they go through the truck and service it and not just get it running. I have seen several bobbed trucks that the rear suspension scared me and would not pass a DOT inspection.

Wedge bakes are a pain to keep adjusted, so you can pass a DOT inspection, and very costly to do a brake job to DOT standards. There is only one mechanic around here that will adjust wedge brakes and he charges 1 hour per wheel to adjust plus the time to jack the truck up and remove the...

Can you post a better picture of the connector

I was inspected on the way to tower park and they put a current sticker in the truck.

I the goose neck on the trailer adjustable?

Some one has changed the air brake can on the trailer in the past. You have a modern clamp ring air can on the trailer. The correct air can should be held together by a ring of bolts like on the M105, M1061, M146 and other military trailers. This setup of using only the air can was not used...
