    top speed and mpg for M818?

    Mine with no mods does 56~57 MPH on the floor @ about 2150 RPM; that = 6 MPG with no load. Rolls down the road fine at that speed. 50 MPH is a good cruising speed.

    i JUS BOUGHT A DUMP

    Use a breaker bar to turn the engine over. You should be able to get to the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer pretty easy with out the radiator in there. If the engine rotates, you need more cranking amps or the starter is bad.

    First load- 4500gallons WVO

    How's that tanker drive in the snow Adam? That has to suck. I hope that M818 has a heater.

    Bitten by a drill.

    Many years ago I drilled through my left hand right between the center two knuckles. Fortunately I had a reversible drill. As I remember it didn't bleed much; did hurt like h&!!. I cleaned it up with peroxide and used super glue on both sides. Fixed me right up. No scars now. I don't hold...

    First load- 4500gallons WVO

    You were talking about back hauling bio-diesel from the bio plant. Have you started to do that yet? Do they have to do anything special to the tanker after hauling the WVO before loading up the bio-diesel? Good looking tractor and trailer....

    Transfering Plates from RI to FL?

    Just get a regular weighted plate. DMV will be happy to take your $ if you explain it to them.... Antique plates are so us hobby folks don't have to pay hundreds of $ every year for trucks we drive very few miles.

    Recovery Time.....

    Make sure your insurance company will cover the type of vehicle you have. The 30 day coverage is out the window if your company won't insure that type of vehicle. State Farm covers my M35 with no problem but won't touch my M818. Do yourself a favor and get a binder in advance.

    Big boy tools for deuce

    The Chinese tool store (Harbor Frieght) has a 3/4" impact socket set that comes with a bud nut socket and is cheap. You can always find a 20% off coupon for even better deals. Lately I've been getting them out of the American Rifleman mag and Flying Mag has them too. Dittos on the 6 ton HF...

    Big boy tools for deuce

    I have no problem running a 3/4" impact with my deuce. I have a glad hand and air hose with quick disconnects. Set the throttle at about 1300 rpm and let her rip. Much better than grunting with the tire irons.
