    Anyone titled/registered a truck through the mail, in TX?

    FMV excuses you from yearly safety inspection but NOT out of state title initial inspection. So you are dead in the water until your truck is on TX soil.

    Front main seal replacement

    Op is talking about his MOTOR. Any huge 2 or 3 jaw puller should work. Use the crank bolt to draw the balancer back on the crank.

    TCM Diagnostic Code Retrieval M1165

    Your TCM is either burned up or much more likely not getting power. The transmission is functioning in “limp mode” which means no computer control. Carefully go over battery connections and the wiring behind the batteries and the red button.

    Water fording demil m1123

    Rest easy vampire was fixed on later model trucks like yours. Your issue is an air leak somewhere in the power steering circuit that is allowing air in, which causes the fluid to become aerated, which causes it to overflow.

    Engine leaks oil is why someone started the repair. No doubt the air compressor is missing the support bracket.

    Using a 5 ton as a towing vehicle?

    Should be ok in your neck of the woods. Check into costs of CDL, TXDMV registration, USDOT registration, drug screen, medical card, commercial insurance. It adds up.

    Firetruck from Winslow Township, NJ to Preston, OK.

    Bad idea to drive it!!! Almost guaranteed to break down. Our similar older pumpers at my fd have their own parking spot at the city garage.

    You will need to reach out to the various military vehicle clubs in Europe to get info on that setup. The body on that Jimmy is a post war item manufactured in Belgium, France or possibly Germany.

    Yes the 656 is a screamer, the LDS in it is turned way up to 200 horsepower and the Allison seems to keep it around the redline 2800 rpm most of the time you are on the throttle.

    Pretty sure they are metric. I would remove one of the remaining ones and take it to the auto parts store to match up.
