Ken is correct. I'm looking to extend range of the truck. Having 11 years driving intermodal trucks and trailers I'm confident about how the truck performs. My big worry is tires. Some of my trailers have tires that are more than 10 years old. Having said that, I've pulled trailers with 25+...

Ken, What's happened is the tire has dry-rotted to the rim then. Trust me, if this happens then you don't want to remount the tire. Dry rot is a nasty thing especially when it's time to re-air and reseat the tire back to the rim. I've seen some very impressive tire explosions in my day. None...

Guys, I have that S-280 and is it ever coming in handy with the dolly set matched to it. It too has the rings on the corners. I got the running lights fixed and working really nice for the road trips to TX. She's got new tires and ready to go! Kenny, could you give me specs. on the A/C unit...

Opie, I'll have a quote for your heater in a couple of weeks if you are still interested. Just trying to help $ave you some $hipping money! Let me know.

Ken, You want to use a sealer because if the tire spins you can kiss the inner tube neck good bye. Shortly after decapitating the inner tube you can kiss the tire good bye too because the tire is not supposed to come off the rim. If it does come off the rim it will not reseal and is a garbage...

Guys, I dropped the spare and rack for the tank. I bought the tank for $40. After all the work I've done lately I'm hoping for an improvement in fuel milage to the 12 to 13 mpg range. I'll have real data in about three weeks or so. My aim is to do 1400 miles with both tanks topped off...

Joe, Sounds like y'all had a blast! Fred, that receiver is really neat. Any way to give a description/specs on the pieces and so on? Thanks(in advance)!

Kenny, Astute observation! Yep I switched the lights because I wanted to see a little further at night. It may not seem like a big change. However, I can see about 15 to 20 feet further. At night this does make a difference in reaction time and braking distance to dead stop. I'll take every...

Ken, I gotta see this! It sounds like a really neat thing to do for a 103!

Mr. Forum Moderator, It looks like you earned your sub-title very well today ;)! Just kidding. Good to see you are well thought of in the community. Love seeing fellow members lending a helping hand! Good advice too.

DS, That's why we're moving to Houston!!!! Feel free to come on down...............

Dave, Yes it is. I'm a former trucker and truckers here state side also referr to those come-a-parts as an L10 or a 250. For over-the-road driving they're tiny engines over here. We jokingly refer to them as "In Need of Diapers" because they're so small. I used to have Cat 3406B 4&1/4s in...

WT, Good advice! A clean pump is much easier to work on and work with.

Joe, Looks like y'all were having lots of fun with that event! BTW, why was the Jeep's hood up on one of the last pics? Water get in the carb or something?

Hello Everyone, Here are the pics I promised to show once I finished the fuel crossover project. I have two cut-off valves just incase I spring a leak somewhere. I hope the pics help y'all see how the project was done.

1ton, Usually everything has wood (hardwood is mandated by federal law as a minimum legal standard). I'm planning to replace the wood on my car carrier with diamond plate once the money becomes available.

MAN! That last video looked very painful! Better him than me. I just about died laughing looking at the all-terrain fork truck running off after landing and breaking through the packing. Good thing nothing or nobody was in its way! That critter looked like it was having fun running...

jc, Sounds like you got a rare deal from GL bud! Keep up the good searching!

CM, No problem. I'll keep my eye out for any other goodies you may have.

ColoMil, How much do you want for the hard top? Mine was hit on the front in the middle and I'm having a frustrating time fixing the leaks. Let me know what else you have for good parts and I'll make a trip up there once we are settled in Houston. It looks like the heater that was in there...
