Wouldn't larger diameter tires be better in the snow? Not as much wheel speed, causing less of a chance to spin on you. I could be wrong, but it sounds logical to me. I would run the 16.00's aired down giving you more contact surface. Either way, these trucks aren't the greatest in snow from...

I am 20 years old. The DMV didn't seem to have a problem with my truck having a 42,000 GVWR. I use my truck for PERSONAL use. No where in the MO CDL book says you are required to have one for personal trucks. Only states for commercial use. Now, is this the smartest thing, no. But if it isn't...

I will gladly snap some pics for you this weekend when I will have my truck out.

How many times can he hear that he should get a CDL? Who cares if you have a CDL or not? The point of this thread is to help him out with getting his brake issue fixed. You do not need a CDL in every state to drive these trucks. I disagree with the fact that you should get a CDL. I do agree with...

Looks like he has a couple wood pieces stuck in his troop seats. Have fun with that. It is a nightmare getting those out. aua

You know I was having the same simptoms as you in your first paragraph when my PCB box was acting up. My abs light would randomly come on, sometimes while driving, sometimes while idle, sometimes it wouldn't at all. Once I changed that box my light has not come on at all. You might want to check...

I would like to put the Dex in it for the fact that it is actually ATF and not just oil. From what I have gathered, it was just easier for the military to be more standardized with their fluids. Not necessarily the better choice for the transmission though. They had the Rotella at our Walmart...

Thanks Ray! I still give my mom a hard time about that. She doesn't take it seriously anymore though haha. I can't wait to get it back out again. The first and only parade I had it is was the veterans parade in Florissant. Ross was there also. There were a couple other deuces and an M927. Man...

I could see how the weight alone of the tire could be a major issue by yourself. I weigh all of 140... so muscling that tire around by myself is pretty much not an option. I have AAA insurance on my normal car that covers free roadside no matter who I'm with. I wonder if they would help me out...

M215 - that looks awesome! I just got my cargo cover not too long ago. Figure I would wait til spring to try it out though. That is the setup I was planning on for parades. Lookin good. m16ty - I am not sure if it is legal or not here in MO. I am also not sure on the law about motorcycles, so...

I haven't had great experiences with battery impacts... But I know a lot of my friends swear by them. To each his own.

If you don't use very much then you wont see any debris getting on them. It's like using super glue on a project. Less is more. I worked at a golf course in the grounds crew department for two years (the reason I can afford my 5 ton, thank you excessive heat last summer causing my overtime...

You answered another question I was throwing around in my mind. I was wondering how well the truck could supply enough air to run a large impact for an amount of time. I guess it is useable though. Thanks for the info guys.

Huh, thanks for the info! I know what you are saying now. I just figured I got the wrong wrench! :oops:

No kidding? I have a couple of those wrenches and I didn't think they worked for anything but budd nuts. huh, maybe I overlooked this...

Do they make one for the singles? I haven't seen one. Got any pictures?

I have been thinking about how our troops change tires out in the field. Specifically what wrench do they use for the singles and how hard is it for them to do? Ever have issues of not being able to break lug nuts loose and so forth? Do they have any other tools besides just a normal lug wrench...

Wow, thank you to your son for his service. He is probably close to my age. I appreciate everything he does to keep our country strong. The least I could do is buy one of his used up 5 tons and show the community my respect :D. Keep up the good work!

You might be thinking a Stuart tank.

A guy in our reenacting unit uses an 800 series wrecker to tow his half track. He has been doing it for many years and he always makes events just fine. He doesn't have any fancy trailer on anything like that. Just a standard pintle trailer actually. He doesn't even use the fifth wheel. A 939...
