I've got Firestones dualed in the rear and they rub the pinion cap bolt heads slightly but not enough to be concerned. They're shiny so as long as I drive the truck regularly, they'll never rust!!!

Sir, It scares me as well but I do enjoy the fact that the OP came here to ask his question. I'm sure many other's operate these things without the friendly advice that can be found here on SS. I'm sure you know as I do the the "emergency brake" on these trucks does no good so ensuring you...

Not super experience with these Dave but if memory serves correct, when you have a M1076 connected and you're ready to drop the load, you disconnect from the trailer, drop the flatrack on the truck, reconnect to the trailer, grab it's flatrack, load it on the truck, drop the trailer, and then...

Mylo219, Thread Highjack but so long as it's an A2 with an airshift transfer case, you can engage 4WD in the case of a Bobed or 6X6 in the case of mine on the fly. You can also shift the transfer case into low range as long as you're under the speeds that should be listed on the dataplate on...

Ford Mechanic, I wished you would have searched around on here a little and got some part numbers on swapping over to a spin on primary. The parts are at your local Napa and you can adapt the mounting plate for your standard primary filter set up to the newer spin on filter head. As for me...

Yes you can and should. It helps to offset the 10 mpg your truck likely gets. I collect waste oil from all my friends to include used motor oil of all grades, used auto transmission fluid, used gear oil with one exception, (tranny oil sometimes has a good bit of brass in it that would likely...

Just did my annual oil change. You've got it spot on. Only difference for me is I have spin on oil filters. Drive truck till it's at operating temp for about 10 minutes to heat the oil, shut it down, drain front sump into 5 gallon bucket, drain bucket in to waste oil settling tank, drain rear...

I think alot of us came to that conclusion a few pages back Duece-Coupe. I don't even have a pyro yet, I followed the advice of "turn the fuel until you get a nice puff of black smoke when you floor it at idle but soon clears up" when I turned my pump up. I've towed some heavy stuff behind it...

The exhaust system is not complicated and there was no muffler originally installed on the Turbo trucks. I installed one and it helped quite a bit. I'm now saving up to run the exhaust out under the bed and possibly exit above the tandems on the passenger side. I think locating the exhaust...

No emissions equipment on these.

I wish you were closer, I could have it done in a few hours. If you run into trouble, post back up, I'll do my best to talk you through it. Have you downloaded the TM's? They help alot but sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Let us know.

Looks like fun. Atomic and I just finished up a similar job on Arabella. We had to go a little further as we were changing out inner boots with some solid silicon ones so we had to drop the steering links, kingpin bushings and knuckles. Still can't think of a better way to pass the time with...

Square hole on the side is for allowing the locking spring of the rear rack when it's mounted to the side of the trailer. They're on both sides. I thought I could find a picture but looks like I have to go take one.

I'll add this after reading the content of this thread. My LDT-1D turbo will blow a pile of smoke out of the stack under acceleration. I turned it up and it's now mostly on filtered WMO. I would bet it is turned up past "factory" LDS settings and has been running that way for years. I know...

It's been about a month, Time to bring this back up and Thank some folks. 3DAngus brought me a trailer for the CUCV. It's a nice M101A1. I told him a story of how my youngest son Briggs has become confused. The Deuce has his M105A2 hooked behind him most of the time but Sarge doesn't have a...

I've also heard high praise for John Winslow in NC. I don't personally know him and have never dealt with him but I've heard that he's very thorough and turns out good work. Also not sure on prices but I look at it this way, If I can pay someone to do it, I'm probably not concerned with price...

Not worried about it, This truck will probably soon be donated to someone who needs a 250 and perhaps spare parts off it. It's been out here about 2 years now and papers have been drawn up and served. Back on topic, the 250 from what I've read does fine on "mixtures"

I'll try to clear the mud as I understand it. The truck has a 24V starter on it. This is handy when you need a jump start through the NATO Slave port on the front. The Glow Plugs are 12V but wired stock they feed through a resistor bank located on the firewall behind the air filter housing...

In the Cummins that won't leave my yard, as in owner won't come and pick him up, he's on about 80 percent waste oil at this point and other than taking a little longer to start, he's fine. It's an M818 and I've confirmed visually that it's an NHC-250. Oil the top of the pistons, they do fine...
