    Tow Bar Connection to M37

    Guys, There have been several threads about towing an M37 using the std. towbar. My question is regarding the connection of the 3/4" adapters to the shackle points on the M37. The adapter is 1/2" wider than the shackle point. Have ya'll just been letting the adapter move around or do you...

    Small tool found in deuce. What is it?

    It is one of the BII tools. It is the "blow nozzle". Place the threaded end into the air chuck, put the air chuck in the palm of your hand and place two fingers on the cross bar. Pull and you have a nice blow gun nozzle. These are fairly hard to come by and are no longer made because they...

    5-tons & Weigh Stations

    No federal reg for CDL??????????? Sure about that? There is no Fed reg for non-commercial, however as stated, the license requirements are state specific and can be no less than the Fed requirement. That same regulation allows states to use all the CDL regulations for non-commercial (including...

    5-tons & Weigh Stations

    CMV class pickups do get stopped, just ask my guy that got SC DOT stopped in an F-350 two weeks ago. Over 260001 GVWR, unless an RV requires CDL, can be non-commercial. We ALWAYS hit the weigh stations, only been red-lighted once and that was so the trooper could just visit about the truck...

    Just for comparison, here are the G177 and T831, not much difference.

    Tires - G177 v/s Michelin XL - TRACTION

    FWIW, 20" wheels are the most common on intermodal trailers.

    Tires - G177 v/s Michelin XL - TRACTION

    They are virtual twins, or at least as close as copyrights will allow. The observed performance has been similar to the G177.

    Locking Diff

    This is a most interesting exchange. Although some seem to be taking some of the comments to personal. So......I will jump into this fray and really "muddy" the water. All good comments but a major point hs been missed. This started about a deuce, then went to LS and posi-variations, the...

    Battery Tenders

    I agree, that way both batteries are fully charged. Slight variances in the batteries will not impact the others maintenance rate.

    M51A2 multifuel engine horsepower

    As Doghead said, look for the engine plate behind and above the alternator. Just curious why you want to be listed to pull more than the listed 30,000# trailer weight? The truck fully loaded and towing has a listed GCVW of 71986# (from the 211-10 manual) When you are at these weights you...

    Tires - G177 v/s Michelin XL - TRACTION

    I am running G177's on an M54, love them, not as classy looking as NDCC's but wow do they pull. Our experience with singles vs duals is that in real soft stuff the singles are a little better because of not breaking new track, but in most of our southern soils (not sand) the duals always seem...

    goldneagle's M52A2 restore thread

    I really do not think it looks that bad. From the pictures it is a better starting place that Squirt was when she came home, well mostly home, she did not make it into the shop..... Just remember, this is a 5-ton, big trucks make big projects, go slow and steady. Sure seems like most of the...
