    Well you look screwed now. Lucky for you, Waller is home to International Repo-depo, a shop that rebuilds M series trucks. Give Earl a call at 936-372-5683 and he will install a new tow bracket for you.

    I don't think there is a blow off valve associated with engaging 8x8. Sounds like a ruptured diaphragm in an air actuator. Maybe you can pinch off the hose and get 8x6.

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on

    I need to know about putting larger single radials on
