Well I went to get plates for the 818 today and here's what I found out. 1. Because it says Tractor on the title it is automatically Commercial. 2. Scale weight empty is 19.5K makes it commercial and because of that the lowest Gross wight is 30k, calculated by taking empty weight X 1.5 then...

customer notified on 2/23, picked it up the next day.

I was prepared to tow my 818 with the deuce, had air lines ready to go. Ended up towing the Deuce with the 818 instead. :beer: I had read up on what would be a good idea to have in the way of supplies and such. I figured that it wouldn't be a problem as long as I paid attention to what was...

I'll try the same thing maybe using ATF. I just came inside from playing in some loose dirt, front axle was a no joy. Could hear the thunk going into reverse and when I would go back to first and tried to move I could hear a thunk in the transfer case but no positive engagement in the front...

I'm in the same boat. Got my 818 2 weeks ago now I need a trailer. Lol The next question is lowboy, box or both.

I had caught that too. I wonder if they had tried to run it that way and figured that it didn't work too well and went back to a traditional switch..

The dash instructions were what I'm following, the -10 had the statement about the light not coming on in 30 seconds, that is where I was hung up. It hasn't been cold enough here since I picked up this truck to test out the cold start circuit, but I had planned on getting into the wiring with a...

Ok, I found this in the elec. trouble shooting section under the heading of "heating system".. I guess I was not using a broad enough search pattern.. lol Cranetruck the 260-20 that I have has the most current date of Apr 1995.

That looks to be what I'm looking for! Is that in a 5 ton specific TM? I thought that you would chime in at some point with a solution. Which TM did that come out of, I'd like to be able to print out a full size copy. I was curious about the operation of that circuit because of the...

Any body have the wiring diagram for the cold start circuit for an M818? I've looked through the TM's that I have but have had no luck. I'm not quite ready to reverse engineer it yet. I'm trying to figure the operation of it, specifically if there is a timer involved similar to the "wait to...

I was wonder about the air selector switch myself. I wasn't sure if I should hear the air shift only when I go from neutral to reverse and back, or if I would also hear the air shift going from neutral to first. Wasn't sure if I needed to tear into it, but it sounds like it's working normal.

There have been many questions about the Fording kit that I have on my Deuce, so I've been working on a list of aftermarket parts and instructions on how to install it. To start off, this not not a complete instruction on how to install a fording kit on the Deuce, that being said if you have...

The newest purchase XM818 05C-88370-C124-11692 05C-88370 Out of Ft Lewis

Kinda like the lottery.. Odds of winning increase dramatically when you play.:shock:

Submission pending 2/11/10 EUC sent to BC 2/17/10 Customer notified 2/23/10 Picked up from GL 2/24/10:beer: I now have a 5 ton in the driveway...... Priceless.

Man, I don't even have my 818 yet and I have those downloaded.. Mike you must be slipping... LOL:shock::shock::shock: Even with going through those, I'm still learning stuff about the 5 ton.

I bet it is easier to backup now with the axle farther back on the frame. Seems like a longer trailer gives you more time to react.

I use a piece of 3" pvc pipe with a magnet glued in the bottom so I can put it anywhere.. Even had a notch cut in the side for a coffee mug handle!!8-)

I ended up building my own kit. Did a lot of research on here and in the TM's. I'm not sure if the A3 kit would be much different than an A2.

Once you get that "first MV" there is no going back.:oops:
