Congrats on the chains. I am sure a few members here could use them all at once. The pics of trucks stuck in the middle of nowhere are abundant.

Welcome from Texas.

Looks to be in decent shape. Congrats.

I have read a few times that Allison recommends ATF fluid and getting rid of the oil. I believe I recently read of a member that actually lost his low gears because of the thick oil and low temps. This was all read on this site BTW. Hopefully someone else can confirm this. I am subscribed...

Any idea on time frame for the build? How about some teasers on your plans...........

Sounds like a busy day. No rest for the wicked.

In those temps soapy water isn't going to do much good in tracking down the leaks. Maybe soapy coolant? Never tried it but frozen soapy water isn't much good. There are o rings that should be replaced while you have it apart. I haven't had mine apart that far so I am not familiar with them...

Going up a hill would put a lot of stress on the added axle. In theory the added axle and it's independant spring set should be put in front of the existing axles. Really though the three axles should all pivot. I had a triple axle trailer where each axle had their own springs and a pivoting...

That is a sharp looking truck. Congrats to the new owner and on a successful recovery.

Where are you going to mount the "oversize load" banner? 😉 Looks sweet for field work though.

They are a great investment. Four wheel drive is a basic requirement. I like to go beyond that. I know many people that don't even go that far. To each their own but I am a Boy Scout and like to be prepared for anything.

These are just the cheapest off the shelf metal framed blades I found. I thought I would have to at least buy different bolts but the factory hardware worked fine. I just bent the frames of the wipers a little so they would bolt up properly. As you can tell hopefully one side is inside the...

There is a ton of good info in the TMs even if you aren't really looking for something specific. Glad you got it figured out.

Glad y'all finally made it. Congrats on a successful trip

This. What light is flashing?

Well done. That makes for a good combo.

This. Good innovation but many parts to break.

Yes, and it is pretty simple to do. Kits are available if you want to go that route. I have a 923a2 and am very happy with it. It is very simple to work on and diagnose. It is my first and only (so far) MV. The 923s seem to be the most available style.

The cable balling up on the drum is birdcaging. If you don't pull the cable out as fast as the winch is powering out it can happen. It also can happen if you free spool the cable out and the drum doesn't stop when the cable does.
