I never have driven an air power steering system. I know the old deuces had an Air-O-Matic upgrade that was probably the same type of system. How...
That's a good point. I never thought about how the rpms would play nice or not with the trans. I know the old military Shakers used a 250 hp 855...

I actually spotted a 48' drop frame reefer trailer on TP today. Might be worth thinking about. I thought about the newer trailers being a thin...

Any of you DIY guys ever shorten a trailer height wise? I want to go from 13'6 to 12'6. It looks like the roof is held on top of the steel or...

Do you recall which DMV it was? State of purchase or state of residence? I tried searching but it must be buried in a topic. Couldn't come up with...
I'm looking at picking up a used box truck from Oklahoma. I live in MI. MDOT regulations state that I have 3 days to drive the vehicle home. Here...
I need some help from the FL knowledgeable. What was the last year you could get a mechanical 8.3L Cummins in an FL50, FL60, FL70 or FL80?...
98989- I could put the lift in the rear. Would probably make more sense. I have to use a spread axle just to be sure I'm not over weight on any...
