I'm looking for references to bring my M1084A1 w/crane from PA to Southern California.
Not interested in Veritread or Uship. Just wondering if there's someone here that can recommend a friendly hauler.
Thanks.
I hitched up the M322 trailer to my MTVR this morning. I drove about 1/4 mile and pulled over because I was sure something was very wrong. The truck did not go past 15-20 mph with the pedal to the floor.
The trailer brakes were cold to the touch and appear to be working normally. I even cut the...
I'm looking for feedback on engine swaps. I need to replace the motors in both my NA and turbo 6.5's.
What has been your experience? Used versus rebuild, etc?
My MTVR sat in Yermo for God knows how long on flat tires. They’re holding air just fine, but are annoyingly out of balance. A couple even have minor rot showing on the sidewall, the part that used to be flat in the dirt.
It’s a shame because the treads are in great shape. I think it’ll be fine...
Looking for ideas to better secure my 1161. I like to original look of the ignition switch and am thinking about installing a keyed off-on switch in a discrete location for added security. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
This doesn’t look right. As far as I can tell, the other end is at this block, labeled XMISN OIL.
I can’t find where it should go. I’m not spraying transmission fluid anywhere so that’s a good sign.
I just picked up my MTVR from Commercial Engine Service in Hesperia, CA. Those guys did a great job.
A quick stop for a wash and fuel, then my 4 hour drive home to get acquainted with her.
Glad to be part of the crew!
As usual, a skilled forklift operator bent my oil pan out of wack. Investigation reveals the oil pump pickup tube is also pushed at an upward angle.
Engine runs fine and indicated oil pressure holds at normal. Still, I’m not leaving this as is.
Not sure if I should outright replace or right...
I hope to make this easier by checking with you all first....
The wire ID on the back shows 514 and 515. The Wire ID Tag sheet indicates "514 Dimmer Switch to B.O. Upper Beam (IR)" and "515 Dimmer Switch to B.O. Lower Rear (IR)".
I assume they are ground and power, but the Tag sheet makes me...
Does anyone here have experience with an aftermarket slant back? I see a handful are available online.
I very much prefer OEM, though there does not seem to be many out there and what is available is very expensive and/or incomplete.
My M1123 came with interesting seat belts. There is a separate retractable belt for the shoulder and for the lap, so that you can belt in one or the other or both. The buckle has a slot for each belt and a single pull releases both.
The lap belts work fine, but both the shoulder retractors are...
