    SA van? If you try it, maybe helping out a buddy, with a KW 4-axle with the plate slid all the way back you might have to cut the landing gear off with a torch. Ask me how I know.

    I don't know how many feet, but not enough of them.
    Not my proudest truck driving moment.

    CRST has the power only be my load

    @RGN that is what I am worried about - can’t get the fifth wheel back over the last axle - so it may be a no go

    plus - I have to wait and see if the truck goes back together correctly or if it totally blows up when the “fix”

    it will be headed to the dyno before I take it back for sure

    Good to hear, hopeful everything checks out.

    Did you end up getting a new engine?

    oil pump
    Air compressor
    Rod bearings
    Main bearings

    and possibly a head gasket if they pulled head

    Any of you guys run one of those plastic round 5th wheel spacer thing? Like it? Does it work? Worth the money vs grease?
