    MEP 803A is ALIVE!

    Thanks Guyfang. I did find out that the gauge itself it bad. I also got my house wired with a standby plug outside and easily accessible. It is positioned so it is out of the weather but still outside. I used the manual main breaker switch lockout option. You know, shut main breaker off...

    ARB 5 ton locker

    I am pretty new to the site. I would be interested in 2 if this is still possible. Seems to have gone quiet though.

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    Gottaluvit, it is nice that the title keeps it generic. I am not hauling anything. I am converting the van into a camper. I am putting in new insulation at this point. I want to register it as an motor-home RV. In the end I will have a walkthrough from the cab to the van. Like a...

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    Idaho seemed pretty lax on vehicles until this. I mean they don't have vehicle inspections, smog checks, etc except in two or three counties down south. Tires stick out to far, no biggy. It really surprised me when they said no. I mean, a guy living 40 minutes south of me, a SS member, had...

    Verify this rear break line hose please

    Thanks for the extra options. I will check with the local Napa and Car Quest. We don't have a big rig shop here that I know of. I will start with the local car parts guys and then move on to calling Oshkosh. Juan-I will pull the hose and take some measurements. If the local auto parts do...

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    Well, the Guru from Boise called back today. They cannot title my truck, UNLESS, it is already titled from another state. He specifically said a SF97 would not work either. So, Bill of Sale and SF97 will not get your MV titled in Idaho unless you get lucky and hit a DMV office who will just...

    Verify this rear break line hose please

    The problem is Location. I live in Northern Idaho, Panhandle. The "local" hose shop, that I know of, is about 2 hours away. Just figured it would be easier to order one. However, I will keep that in mind as it is an excellent option. Thank you.

    Bump, anyone? Nobody has ever had to buy an air brake hose, rear.

    Tire hop

    I had a rear tire that had the front tire counter weight still on it. Somebody replaced a rear flat tire but didn't remove the counter weight off the replacement tire. You have to crawl under the truck and look at the wheel studs. It not only made the tire hop but it cupped the lugs bad.

    Tire?

    I have first hand experience with checked tires just like that one. It blew out at the 400-ish mile mark. There was nothing left but steel cords and some bits of rubber. Luckily it was on a rear axle. I would not trust it. Low speed, it is probably okay. Highway speed, it will pop, you...

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    I have seen that thread and read it all. I also went to the site listed on post 102 and copy/pasted the letter for reference. Thanks for posting the link. I contacted GovPlanet. They now can provide a transferable Florida title. You gotta pay for it of course. They also said they could...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Changed my 1400r20s out for 395/85r20s. What a pain in the boot. So far they are holding air. I disconnected the Ctis to separate the tires from the system for a few days. That way I know for sure if the tires are holding air on their own or not. I found a bad air brake hose, passenger...

    Verify this rear break line hose please

    Verify this rear air break line on M934A2 I want to make sure I am ordering the correct air supply line for the passenger rear brake hose for my 934A2. TM info is 4720-01-112-6577 P/N 12256271-5. The other hose shown I think is for the drivers rear break hose. 4720-01-112-6576 P/N...

    One wiper does not stop

    I have been thinking about going to electric motors. When I first got the truck the passenger side did not work. It fixed itself. For the first time it is the drivers side that is being stubborn.

    One wiper does not stop

    I read a few wiper threads and ppv threads but this is a little different. My passenger wiper was not working. Planned on fixing it toward spring. Drivers was working fine. Today I gave it the weekly startup and minor function check. The passenger wiper started working! Great huh? I turned...

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    I am checking on the SF97 option. Isnt that for off-road vehicles though? I have an email in to the GovPlanet title section. I will let you all know what they have to say. I am looking through the Idaho vehicle regs. Nothing specific so far. I contacted the Boise DMV, supposedly, MV...

    DMV asked for FMVSS proof..

    I called to start thr title process on my M934A2 and she asked if it had a FMVSS (federal motor vehicle safety standard) sticker on the door. If not, then they couldn't title it. Of course it doesn't have it on the door or anywhere else. How in the heck do I find this info? Why do I always...

    Lift Gate for M934A2?

    I guess I will need to keep an eye out for a truck with one on it and see if I can get the whole thing cheaper then buying a new lift gate. I really don't need another truck but if it works out that way, oh well. :)

    Lift Gate for M934A2?

    Goldeneagle, That is what I was looking for. It has the clearance and side rails can be added. Looks good. Is that one yours?

    Lift Gate for M934A2?

    The crane would be useful but I am wanting the whole platform model. I like the folding gates listed on Tommygate. My only concern is how low the side rails look in the pics. I guess I would need to call them and have my width, floor height and lowest point I would accept the rails to extend...
