Thanks. I will be looking forward to the pics. I have been a bit lazy on this as I had a remedy for both symptoms but it would be best to fix it so it works properly.
I should add that my fan engages when I first start the truck below 20°F and will not disengage until it has warmed up some and I shut the truck off and drain the air. Then it works normal, I think. When it's that cold it wouldn't engage anyway. Does anyone else that has the rattle at idle have...
Same here. No room for even a sheet of paper. Very tight. It sounds internal, like a gear or something won't fully engage at idle but does at higher RPMs.
I used a chain with one of the 6 mil-issue locks, that came with identicle keys from wmmules at Findlay, and ran the chain through my D-handle shovel, the fuel can, and my chain that attaches my chock blocks together. One lock and three items secured.
Wow. Now I wonder how heavy I was loading! I did have to use low range on the uphill that really wasn't that steep. So much for my attempts to baby my baby.
If you mean mine with the red data plate, it is M929A2. You can click on the pics after opening and then zoom, but I didn't even get the model in the pic as that part was glaring real bad. I am self employed and investments are my primary income so I prefer to load light and spend the extra time...
I wonder now how much my state would charge for the extra 10,000 lbs. While on the subject of weight, does the declared weight stand as a total for truck and trailer, or does the trailer plate (no gvwr was asked) cover it's weight?
I did see it before on an M51 and an M817. I just assumed they realized it was harder on the truck. Regardless, I will go with the lightest rating considering any repairs come out of my pocket. Not like I have a blank check handed to me like our tax dollars do for defense spending. And (yes, an...
Yes, but my data plate says 5 tons off road and 5 tons on road. My bmv allows me to determine the gvwr and applies the license fees accordingly. Then they give me a sticker to put on the rear plate that has a "34" representing the gvwr. If the portable scales get me with 7% over what number is...
Don't you just love it when you tell them "5 tons" and they always overload you. I guess they figure they aint paying the fine. It can't be that hard to know the weight of what size aggregate fills the bucket of the front end loader. I was very tempted to drive back to the pile and tip the gate...
Painted over my D.O.T. and P.U.C.O. numbers and put my plates back on and my new insurance card in the map/glove box. Nice to only pay 10% of what I did last year on insurance.
Also mounted my plate and it's light.
