Thanks- Yea i saw that too but doesn't make sense to replace the whole bushing/ bushing is fine it just the rubber gasket boot that is dry rotted... like I know my 2.5 ton truck had zipper boots and I replaced without replacing the bushing... I donno- hoping someone has had this happen to...

Thanks for the link!

oh yeah I had the tires spinning - I was playing and yes had them spinning long enough to have the drum move but like i said the drum just stopped... and didn't even spin a inch a minute. I had the truck throttled up with foot brake on and in neutral and the winch was tight and then nothing...

yeah I tried using the pintle on smaller trees and worked fine but wanted directional and constant pressure so when I cut the tree half way I could just pull it down "controlled" also a rope of 150ft i don't have I need like 2" rope and I only have 1" ropes which is about 100ft +/- I also...

Yes- I tried both neutral with brake applied and just the parking brake applied and in gear while going in reverse so the rpms are going... and still nothing. I had half the spool out... probably about 150 ish ft... I was thinking of doubling it up but wasn't in the mood to take the pulley...

yes if the weather is nice out then I will try to do a few pics/videos. It seems everything works but has no "balls" when actually in use which I had a m35a2 and was awesome and had to buy extra sheer pins (haha).. I expected more out of my m925a2 and is defintily not the case. I checked...

Hi all- I have a M925a2 . Been messing with the truck for years and its been fun. I have used the winch for stupid things and pulling cars from out of ditches and always worked with out a problem. I was "playing" and was trying to use my winch to pull a tree down when cutting it. Noticed...

am I posting in the wrong section? anyone have any input for some help? thanks!

Forgot to update: I went with Grundy insurance. Only thing was it needed to be garage kept! Lol. Luckily I have a barn. Was cheaper than everyone and was similar. Thanks everyone for your input…

Hi all- So got this truck a few months ago and been driving it and doing a few little things etc. Lots of fun especially in New Jersey.... however I noticed that I don't feel the jake kicking in. Can anyone tell me if they hear or feel the jake when driving this truck? I have gone on...

hi- does anyone have any ideas where to hook up a 12v outlet on their m1070 HET? Is there any connections somewhere in the truck that someone found? I know that they used laptops in the trucks but I can't find anything. I know I can just run a direct line from the battery but might ask the...

ah interesting... so not worried about the transfer case heating up then?

My Hawker 6T AGM batteries from 2004 just started to get weak! Awesome battery’s. Thanks for posting and the offer!

Impressive You are not worried the axle portals will heat up?

Nobody has any ideas? Thx

So just got an m1070…. Pictures didn’t show this as an issue till I got it home…. Anyone have any ideas where I can get a grease cover boot or do I need a whole new bushing etc? Bushing is tight but I imagine once I start driving it will become a problem. thanks in advance.

congrats- yeah hagerty sounds great - sometimes i like to to go to home depot to get some materials. they said i am covered but only for parades... :cautious:

I totally agree. Just curious how they did it! Not saying I am going to insure it as a camper. I already have a 45 ft camper. But its funny that people without a cdl with a camper can drive a 35000 earthquake on wheels and have air brakes etc... not even adding a trailer haha... For me...

Thanks for the info- the quotes I got were with commercial insurance- its not possible as of yet to get "cheap" insurance for this truck- I have a m925a2 and its 300 for the year. but its the weight of the truck. hence it has to have commercial insurance. thx

Thanks- No I don't have any tickets. Fully clean driving record for 20ish years. cdl for 10 years and no tickets either... never hurt to tell them- thanks for the info- max speed is funny on a truck like that. but i know I will get there and back hopefully
