    Gov Planet customer service

    Maybe someone on here can pick it up and ship it for you. Abandoning an item doesn't get your account banned or even a black mark. Winning an item and failing to pay for it is another matter..

    Gurgling sound in air filter

    I'm thinking you were hearing the air system bleed down.

    Small -spin on- fuel filter change interval

    The 8.3 started out with the little filter only, and they were clogging too easily so they retrofit the large canister filter in front of it. Not all of the A2 trucks have both. Some have the little filter only.

    Buying MEP-803A - Good Deal?

    $4k is the lower end of reasonable value on it.

    Possibly acquiring a M931A1. Feedback..?

    Lol.. It doesn't really matter where it is does it? It's your friend's truck for sure. There can't be more than one of those in existence. I'll even bet the frame stretch was done by Durkin.

    Possibly acquiring a M931A1. Feedback..?

    Those aren't HEMTT rims. 14.00s are getting scarce. I'd choose 16.00s or 395's, and those look like 395s. Changing brake diaphragms is pretty trivial. The boots are no big deal. That's an M105 bed. I like truck tractors with a 12' bed and truck tractor length frame. They look...

    Possibly acquiring a M931A1. Feedback..?

    I prefer the NH250 to the 8.3. I've owned bunches of both, and currently own both....

    Fuel consumption and top speed

    NH250 typically gets 5.5mpg. Loaded or empty, doesn't matter. 809series or 939series. NH250 + turbo gets about 7.5mpg.

    Blackest matte black

    Be a bit more subtle and call it the "collapsar" or "hypermass" or "singularity"

    Gov Planet used parts

    The bad ones frequently go into the crate that the good ones came out of. Just like with engine shipping containers. "Bad" may be relative. The military may swap out a dented one for one without dents. Or it could be full of nasties. Or have holes. Caveat Emptor....

    Fuel consumption and top speed

    24% is what I come up with as well.

    Lock ring rims aren't the same as the old widowmaker split rims.

    Fuel consumption and top speed

    I find it implausible that you are burning that much fuel. I suspect a leak.

    Have your CAT had its Asphaltene today???

    Apparently it happens in oil wells also. The flowing liquid suddenly turns into a solid black crayon.

    Lug Nuts Way Overtorqued (!)

    What you want is a geared lug wrench. They break anything loose, and without the jerk as it lets go.

    Willys from CO to KS

    Since I've completely hijacked SIGO's jeep transport thread with off topic trailer discussion, let me further pollute it with pictures of the 2x12 PT wood deck I've got almost complete... This is the 16k trailer. 16x6' usable deck space. The 19,800lbs trailer is going to get 3/16" plate.

    Willys from CO to KS

    "When it was wet out.." makes all the difference. Your idea actually has merit. I may implement it. My trailer will probably rarely be walked on or driven on and will mostly be loaded from the sides using a forklift and palletized items. Having sand available 'just in case' is likely the...

    Willys from CO to KS

    Dry sand on dry steel is also slick by the way. Extremely so. A handful of sand in a 5ton bed makes it dangerous to walk on.
