  1. +1,also let someone move the truck back and forward while turning hard and you get back there and see what and where its moving, take a close look at the saddle #8 where the spring sits,very possible the spring is twisting in the saddle if its worn on the sides from previous movement, the way your talking something is very very wrong, broken, or just plain worn out.Good luck
  2. Theres been a book out for years titled The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Car [sp],don't roll your eyes lol,buy it on line read it and you will be done with smoking,just one thing it's really not easy but definitely do able..Good luck...
  3. It all depends on the axle spacing,here in NY all the new trucks I see on the lots and on the road look the same.20 front 20 drop and 44 or 46 rears,18' beds,there spec for 79,000 state permits,trucks are friggin huge..
  4. They don't want you to be able to pick up the axle or adjust the pressure from inside the cab.
  5. In NY this is the deal,as of right now any truck 2006 and newer, the drop axle must be steerable with the controls outside the cab also no one axle in a group of two or more axles can support less than 80 percent of any other axle in the group,starting Jan 1-15 any truck 2005 and older must meet the above requirements except the weight distribution provision,after Jan 1 20 all provisions must be met regardless of model year.This is for all state wide permits and all down state permits.Also no more supper singles on the drive axles.I heard there will be a type one permit offered to three axle trucks the formula is something like this,42000 lbs + 1150 per ft of wheel base.For me they will not renew my type two permit starting 2015 unless I add a fourth axle.
  6. Thinking about putting the sc13 on my cl to meet the new weight regs that take effect Jan 2015 in NY,if I do it will be sitting in front of 58 rears,every truck must have at least four axles,does this make any sense!!
  7. Some one on e-bay is selling the chrome pipes in the picture above,he has both left and right for 200 each,has a mack part number..
  8. Looks very similar to the one on my cl and mine has a cross brass,on a side note the cross brace must take a lot of stress because mine broke and had to be re welded.good luck
  9. Ya should have picked up some alcohol while in town also and I don't mean scotch..lol good luck.
  10. Had an old dm that did that,it was the throw-out bearing.
  11. Yup,it just a matter of whats gonna break first,rear,drive shaft or you can just rip the engine and tranny from the mounts,thats how much torque those tyranny's put out..
  12. That's where a 12 speed comes in handy!
  13. Just buy new ones,I may be wrong but I don't think they are serviceable, way to dangerous..
  14. The tire shop I use here on Long Island ny will powder coat tubeless rims any color for 60 apiece,I know a few guys that use aluminum color paint,looks good..
  15. They would look sweet on a hobby truck but I would not use them on a working truck,I saw a set once on e-bay a while back,250 sounds like a good deal,what would it cost to ship here,,
  16. I had 5" straight with a dump truck stack on my 83,no issue with noise as long as the windows were closed..
  17. lol wouldn't that be great,I use one of those j shaped crow bars,pry it out,very easy,maybe I don't understand how you do it,you don't hit on the bearing it's self do you?
  18. What the heck are you guys telling him,just pry the seal out,it will pop right out,don't go beating on your bearings with a brass punch or anything else..
  19. Just got a price on them,best my guy could do is 600,I have 50,000 miles on mine now and thats on a dump truck,no problems at all.JT take a look at the continentals also there great on the front nice and wide,at about 550 each for the 12.00
  20. They do make a two piece clutch brake,I never installed one thou,is you clutch adjusted right do you have an inch or two of free pedal.
  21. Just don't forget when it expires,dmv said they will not notify you,you must keep it updated on your own..
