I had never heard that before about static load. Makes sense. Gotta agree on the anxiety part. It might still be of use to help someone else with OCD issues! I had thought about that bumper, but looking at it closer and knowing it is meant to stop a rear impact by stopping a car from coming...

It was already taken off the left side by the slope. The weight of the load is balanced (left and right) but that slope really showed a curve on the right side springs. If it were level, both would have been necessary. I actually wanted to shift some of it to the left side.

Wow, nice truck!

I would rather have them relaxed than under a constant load. It is loaded just under maximum load. Had it not been leaning, putting more weight on one side, and the load was shared I may not have been concerned. I have had too many vehicles with wasted springs, so decided to extend the life on...

So I picked up some pallets of MV stuff and couldn't unload the stuff, as I cannot get up into my field to access the area to put the stuff. Just way to sloppy with all this rain. So where I parked the trailer there is a side slope and I noticed that was putting a lot of weight on the lower...

Pulled my speedometer cable just to find out it was good afterall. Following the TM can get costly sometimes. So I took the drill and hooked it to the gearbox input drive, hooked the old speedometer that I recently changed out to the cable and it worked (with the drill in reverse) off and on as...

That warning light/buzzer switch on the parking brake is touchy. I have to twist the adjuster on the handle from time to time.

Them are both scary scenerios.

I see the "search thread" but not search forum. Am I missing something? Edit: nevermind, I see it when not hsving a thread opened. Thank you very much. That will make looking for goodies a lot easier!

And a seperate search for classifieds.

Thank you jbulach. It's filthy now. I usually keep it cleaner but knew it would be right back in the mess out there often this winter. On a positive note, I plan to paint the whole truck this year after all the work it has to do this Spring. The salt is exposing the poor work I did trying to...

Hauled some limestone. So much less stress now since I have a 46 (46,000 GVWR) sticker. They never could give me the five tons I would ask for. Always overloaded me. I guess I could have tailgated, but didn't feel right doing that and coming back across the scales. Six tons on this five ton...

My bad.

If anyone wants my address just buy one of my underpriced M939 mufflers I have listed in the classifieds and I will include my return address on the shipping label!

Ok. Now I get it. Thanks.

Dumb question most likely, but what is the reasoning behind blocking the license plate number. People see mine on the highway and I always wondered why they get blurred on TV and internet.

Hauled some slats.

I was thinking the same thing about the video being in portrait vs. landscape. I tilted my phone twice trying to get it full screen til I realized it wasn't on my end.

Sprayed saltwater all up under it! That is the bad part. Good part is it ran like a champ on a 250 mile round trip pulling an M1082 trailer loaded on the return with 3700 lbs and snow covered roads. Had to lock in the front differential coming up from the valley close to my house on an unpaved...

Nice. Been thinking about getting one of that model. That one looks to be in great shape.
