    Winch Setup Compatiability between a M813 and a M517?

    A M517 is the 5 ton dump truck that preceded the M817 model of trucks. Like my M543A2 preceded the M816 series.

    Winch Setup Compatiability between a M813 and a M517?

    I have a couple of winch setups(cut from frame) of M813s, will these bolt up to a M517 dump truck? I know the PTO and linkage is different but will the actual bumper extension match the 517 frame?

    Shocks?

    I have a M1008 with a 3.5 inch lift and 37 inch tires. I want to replace my shocks which are old and extended due to the lift, anyone have any they like? I don't do a lot of off roading except for driving through the woods and in the pasture. Thanks, James

I have nine of the food containers all but one has the inserts, the one without inserts has plastic snap closures where as the rest have metal closures on them? I did not see the pig tail for the gen set...

    Headlights flashing on and off

    Since we are talking about head lights, when I picked up my M1008 from the national guard base, I tried running my lights and as soon as I did the horn sounded and stayed on anytime the light switch was on?

    MKT 2KW Gen Set Question

    My fuel filter bowl filled with no problem, getting the fuel past the fuel pump is my problem! I have the injector line loose and still no flow! I am going to play with it some more tonight. Tim, at first I thought my lines were cut but then just moving them they broke off so no sabotage just...

    MKT 2KW Gen Set Question

    A 2kw diesel gen set came with my MKT. Fuel lines were completely rotten, but I decided to try the motor anyway, there was enough diesel in the line for it to fire off on the second pull, ran a few seconds and I cut it off. Now I have replaced all the fuel lines, what is the easiest way to...

    This is the first i have time anyone has mentioned a heater, is it separate or is it part of the trailer? I found a guy locally who has immersion heaters still in the crate for $45, I may have to have a couple of those for my new MKT, this is starting to feel like an addiction! James

    Thanks, I found that out when we loaded the trailer on the car hauler, I notice when I stopped i felt a bump, it turns out the tongue of the trailer was coming up off the bed of the car hauler! We strapped the tongue down and no more problems, in the photos it is still strapped to the trailer.
