    M1028a2 differential drain

    I pull the covers at 50K and change out gear oil, and check for wear, debris. Or if I am in deep water stopped, over my wheels. Then I pull pan to check for water, or pull the fill plug and take a sample, inspect. I also lengthened my vent hoses higher and put on new vent caps. For the price of...

    Tires for M1028

    I have to agree that tires on a Fire Rescue, Brush Truck are not something that the cheapest wins. I have BFG 285 75 16 All Terrains on the 6.5 rims with no issue also. Most time when you have to have the brush truck the ground is hard anyway, but still you may have to deal with unseen hazards...

    M1008 retro build

    Kaiser67M715, Great progress even on cool days in NH. The yellow numbers I have never seen on any truck, ever. Chalk marks for sure, but the only thing I can think is that before the frame was manufactured that maybe a steel lot number?

    M-917 20 Ton Dump Recovery

    The truck looks to be in great condition. With 12 inch side boards the 19.6 yard dump bed CAN haul a load. I was looking at the tm that frank 8003 provided and was amazed at the size of the tri axle. Having not ever seeing one up close the picture with the Man by the tire, the bottom of the bed...

    Mobile locksmith shop, shelter conversion

    I was following along and missed if you posted how much the unit weighed? Looks like a few different skills have been used in the fabrication of the mobile shop. Looks great! I really like the sign, but I bet a lot of clients are glad to see you. Does it have a coffee maker? Now a cup of coffee...

    M1008 retro build

    I also like the 292's. The last one that I seen used was in a 85 S10. Talk about a tight fit. Say Kaiser I can not wait for a fuel mileage assessment.

    Runaway

    I have to be in both camps. Runaways are very stressed once it happens. Just look on utube and see what happens. If you are cash depleted and want to throw the dice and money to repair, then after you look at all parts that are left then you may change your mind. If you have GOOD mechanical...

    Blackout light switch bypass with pictures

    Yes most wiring is fused, not all. But as there is current and you are bypassing a switch that is controlling current with a larger wire you have in fact created another fusible link, of the existing wire. Per my response, using wire of same gage and replacing switch there is still some...
