I run 50psi in the front and 40psi in the rears. I find if i put 50psi in the rears the truck bounces around quite alot (good to see another UK owner on here)

The Jerry can rack was already on the truck when i aquired the vehicle, so unfortunately I cannot take any glory for its design. For safety reasons I do not run the truck on the road with the cans full of fuel :D

I took the old girl out for a run on Tuesday and checked all the fluids today ready for winter

A long way from you but they have them here http://www.truckpartstrading.nl/2011/webshop/en/844-gasket.html they are based in the Netherlands I get parts from here and they are good to deal with, but might be too far away from you, the gaskets look like paper ones, so could you not cut your own...

Good looking truck you got there mate, congratulations on your purchase. Nice to se another owner on here from the UK.

Don't forget to post pictures when you get it, everyone likes pictures on here☺

Hi Marcus. As stated in a previous post www.milweb.net is a good place to start looking in the U.K. or try everyone's favorite auction site. The main thing with these trucks is they need to be maintained to a good standard, as they have a single circuit brake system, parts are not to bad to...

Here is mine heater hose conceded with scoop to lower position. (Sorry photo is a bit blurred)

May be a long shot, but have you measured the circumference of the tires. Are they all equal in size and pressure ?

Took my son out for a drive in it on Sunday as it was fathers day. He loves it, and it gives me a good excuse to take it for a run.

Hi DawnandAlfie, I would check that it is not brake fluid running down the back plate on your wheel, you can't be to careful with single circuit brakes. Also there is a small vent on top of each axle check to see if they are clear and working. On a long trip the oil in the axles heats up, and...

So did the car hit the middle axle at all ? I just re read the original post. The car hit the bumper/fender of the truck, pushing the truck back. The car must have spun 90 degrees and come to rest facing the middle axle. So there was probably no contact with middle axle and the car. O.k. I...

Try driving in a tight figure 8 and then straight, as this will put a lot of side force on you rear axles. But it is always best to do a full visual inspection of the suspension components, e.g dog bones and trunion bearings.

Mine seeps a bit, but not enough to worry about. I think if I start messing with it, it will probably leak more. I read on here about someone using a 1 1/4 square shoulder o ring from a plumbing supplier instead of the copper washer with good results. So it might be worth a search.

Hi do a search for a pork chop spanner, this will hold nut whilst loosening the thimble. Hope this helps. Mark

I'm in, if you are willing to ship to the U.K

I paid $75 per axle + international shipping and import duty,
