Re: M923 Upgrade to the Singel tires? Guys don't cheap out here buy the right nuts, you will spend a thousand to get the big wheels and tires but not 100 to get the right nuts to mount them?

Hank have you thought about using a fuel tank switching valve off of a five ton tractor? Mounts in stock location in cab and has six ports, easy to hookup and operates easily from drivers seat. I wouldn't run a return to your small tank it will get oil pumped in and it won't hurt anything to...

Hey bud just picking on you, but thanks for calling me light, it weighs about the same as me 3-350lbs

Haha Ron made a funny " not a lot of weight, just 300ft of 3/4 cable."

Also before you go beating on them hook your truck to a tree or big truck off to the side so you get a good load on the stuck rollers and pull they will probably spin.

Here you go couldn't find this thread earlier.

Hey Jim can you post some pics of your headache rack, and while I am on the headache rack any reason not to make a place to store the boom going forwards especially on the 819 type trucks, think my headache rack will be heavy duty enough the boom won't bend it if I just bump it so I don't have...

Yes on the 816 you could put a box to the left of the winch controls, looks like a standard tool box will set there nicely. On the 936 those covers are for just a few hydraulic lines and could be covered and still be used as a tool box/ storage area. And as promised here are the pics of the...

I am so confused! But that's what I get for PUI! But was thinking of cutting some ends off of a tow bar and the long boom jacks and make it so you could carry one set of big a$$ legs that would serve three different jobs, boom legs,ground spades and tow bar. Have removable ends that can be...

On second thought why not just pull the bumpers off the back and use the stock rear shackle point and just add the lower fronts? The front shouldn't be a problem because the mounts are stronger than the front winches. The rear would be pushing more on the frame, not the bolts and should hold the...

Have been kicking this idea around awhile, but are the shackle mounts as strong in compression as the pockets? If they are I am thinking about changing the ends of my spades to tow bar ends in fact why not make one set of bars that will work for both? Just change out the ends, it would help on...

Re: Carnage in mississippi !!!!!! Not right now only odd ones are a lds and a gasser.

Most over tightened lugs on cars and trucks can be tracked back to a "air jockey" I like to call them that rely on feel of the air impact for torque to lazy to walk to the tool box and get a torque wrench and do it right. When I ran a shop you did not final tighten a wheel with a impact if you...

Ron if you will reread what I said, you will see you broke the bolts because of operator error not because of the lubrication. Yes it does change torque values and you should always know if a value is dry or lubricated. Loose nuts is what they should be looking for because if they are going...

Ron we should have known it was the republic of CA. I am not telling anyone to do this but I believe I could win this in court, use of a lubricant or not doesn't affect whether or not you can over torque a lugnut, it will make it easier to do but doesn't keep the installer from placing proper...

I know that the rebuilds at Camp Shelby were only putting the geared wrenches on dump trucks. As to troops doing tire changes in the field most don't if possible, get a tow or drive on in if possible, security is worth more than a wheel and where security is not an issue get a tow, I have talked...

Thought the dumps were 929?

How about the week after Christmas? Maybe a new years party gathering? Ideas?

Okay a dump you should be able to sit/kneel after you take the pto and short shaft out and get to the bolts and yes it's a pain.

Six bolts on pto, looong one goes through the pto body. Also the rear mount is on top of the transmission but can be undone from under the trucks, what model are you working on?
