    Had not! Going to bring dirtbikes and ride along the way, so that will probably be the largest factor when planning our route. Thanks for the tip though!

    Headed down some time in the next few weeks to pickup a Hemtt. Waiting for an EUC to clear.

    Would like to have someone pickup / store my tractor until I can figure out what I'm doing with it. Here is the unit.

    16.00r 20 on m916 with HEMTT wheels

    After tracking down all the parts, decided not to go with the 16's on hemtt wheels after all... The track width is pretty far off, the front being over 104'' wide (illegal) and way outside the fenders. The rears would need spacers to be made, and then the use of special lug nuts. Even so, the...

    Thanks Karl, think I'll be doing the same.

    Govplanet pickup /Barstow

    Is there a loading dock at this place? Do vehicles have to run to use it?

    M-920 1600 r20

    How did you mount up the wheels? Did you use lug nuts with a threaded snout on them, or spacers and thimbles in the rear? Just running regular hemet valve stems?Pictures would be great. In the middle of this swap now. If balancing doesn't work, you can try shaving the tires.

    Yes! Thanks for sharing. Like that better than the long thimbles sticking out.

    16.00r 20 on m916 with HEMTT wheels

    Thanks guys. Going to take some measurements tomorrow. Leaning towards spacers in the rear and possibly the aluminum budd nuts in front to get extra thread engagement with the standard length studs. Will snap some pics.

    16.00r 20 on m916 with HEMTT wheels

    That seems like a great solution for the rears. Helps fix the track width, and moves the studs off the drums. Still gotta figure out what to do for the front.

    Sent him a PM, but from what I found, he used 5ton combat wheels with 14.00's.

    Keep your rear CTIS wheel valves from blowing off.

    You can only tighten the compression fittings so much, and after putting a wrecker CTIS controller in my trucktor, it only made the problem worse. Here is my fix. One bolt, one nut to adjust the pressure on the cover, another to lock it in place, and some washers sandwiched in-between. Pretty...

    16.00r 20 on m916 with HEMTT wheels

    Picked up a set of hemtt wheels and 1600 michelins for the 916, but have a few questions before I can get the tires / wheels mounted up. 1) What are the correct valve stems to run? Looks like there are two styles of hemtt valve stems. An old one with two valve cores, and a newer one with a...

    Problem with the Air ride seats in my Frankencab.

    The air supply for the seats starts at the pressure protection valve, and runs up into the cab, Maybe start looking from there if both leak? One of my seats is doing this also. Have not taken anything apart yet. Usually they stay in the same place for weeks. Only a few air down.

    CTIS 5 flashing lights, no air leaks, no mechanical faults.

    Thats been the most common problem with our trucks. Even when they're really clean they still come loose with time. Tested for leaks just like Suprman said. Eliminated all of those. Think the last thing left to go wrong is the wiring?
