A 5500 lb. trailer is RATED for carrying 5500 lbs.. What you are describing is a 9 ton trailer so my observations stand for the description given. And you can quite easily have a 20,000 lb. gooseneck trailer. I sold one last year. You sir need some education in your own professed field of...

5500 lb. trailer and two skidsteers? You must have some real small skidsteers or you overload the **** out of the trailer. That would be a huge fine for the owner of the company.:roll: A 5500 lb. trailer is going to be a ball mount or a gooseneck. I am not trying to be an azz but do you really...

Post 36 on your other thread someone pointed out a better truck that was correct, right color and closer but you wanted this one because it was red. Now you are going to cut and paste and repaint a truck that you paid too much for? You keep asking if it will pull a heavy load and everyone here...

I could spend hours just wandering your property looking at stuff all over.:roll::grin: Rick BTW, Check the oil pan behind the starter and make sure it is not rusting out. Go with the later model starter, spins easier and does not draw as much power. Oh yea, it is a LOT lighter to push up there.

Just remember that you are compressing a rotor and spreading a drum. Put a hole in the wrong place and when you hit the brakes hard the drum will come apart. Rick

Once it is all together it is impossible to see the center pin. There is really nothing to see anyway, a straight bolt through the springs. Have someone follow you again but have two people in that vehicle. Do it on a two or better, three lane highway. While they are following you should be in...

I have been a diesel mehanic for many years, I am not going to step into the middle of this debate but I can assure you that you are not going to get 30 MPG. Your comment about rolling smoke and getting good mileage doing it is a contradiction. You and I both know that when you are rolling smoke...

You say your cost was 2.00 because you sell hardware? We need to talk!!!!! U-bolts are a lot more that that wholesale and center pins are about 8.00 each wholesale. Can you set me up with a set at that price? We are talking automotive hardware correct? The center pins are grade 8 with a round...

Nice! Thanks for the link, things have moved ahead since I was building chassis's.! Rick

Sorry, The reason I said that is because I am familiar with the GM system and not real familiar with the Cummins. I would offer that you replace the solenoid on a GM because there are other things tied into it. The Cummins I do not know the shut down system but I have had problems with shut down...

That is your tank drain. I like how in all of your fabrication you are not welding to the frame, very smart.[thumbzup] What is the connection in the center of the rear shock mounting? Rick

I read all the way to here before I realized that this was a truck that had been highly modified with an engine and trans swap. It might be nice to let people know this before asking for help for a vehicle we all think is stock. Rick

It is a 25 year old vehicle that has not had very good maintenance. Take it from there. I know some of you will jump and say the military takes very good care of there vehicles. BS.! I live on the ranges of a base and I see the condition of these vehicles. Run them till the die and then get a...

Splitting your signal into 240 inches of antenna will send your reflected signal off the scale. You will have little or no signal. If you want to run dual antenna's then you need a matched set with the proper amount of cable. The antenna need to be at least 8 feet apart if I remember correctly...

You will not be able to get enough separation between the antennas, You will get much better reception with one 102 whip. Rick

10 miles on 400 watts? I got a consistent 200 miles on 200 ways. I can attest to the fact that the FCC does not like linears. They were a lot more lenient back then. Rick

I have a Cobra 29 that I bought at least twenty years ago. Works great. I just dug it out the other day and still works great. As far as I am concerned CB is dead as a useable comm devise unless you want to learn some new and interesting phrases in another language. As was mentioned a good...

Did you take all of the U-bolts off of both sides? If so you obviously are not listening to us. It was mentioned on several occasions to measure first. It was also mentioned by me to do one side at a time so you do not have a loose axle to deal with. If you have all of the u-bolts off you better...

OK, I have the pictures in my album on here but I don't know how to make them visible in a post from there. Am I going to have to upload them again from the computer directly to the post? Rick
