Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
live been telling people for years the big difference it makes. The allisn manual dose say if you are using the truck in HD situations use the oil though. I continue to use Dex3I swapped out the oil in the transmission for real transmission fluid. Wow. Once the video is uploaded I will share a new thread so you can see exactly the changes it made.

Pfft, I took out a small grove pulling myself out.I didn't do anything TO my 5-ton, but I did do something WITH my 5-ton.

I have been pulling 76,000 total truck and all, off and on now for a couple years. Wrecker pulling wrecker.If I remember right the TM says you can put 5Tons in the bed AND pull a 7.5 ton
trailer at the same time. You have roughly an 11.5 ton truck added to that for
a grand total of 24 tons or 48,000 pounds on the hoof, rolling weight.
(someone check me on the numbers please)
That is a lot even if it is on wheels. I do not know how to do the calcs but if
you look up the max incline in the TM and then do a calc you will get
what that tranny will pull from a dead stop, rated ( I think )
I pulled 7 like trucks 22 miles EACH one way up hill. It took the edge
off my tranny just a little bit. Makes it way more tolerable and my
truck had 25K miles on it when I got it.
I'm keeping the stock oil.
Here is another thing. Put just 3 tons of something in the bed and go
for a putt. You will probably just want to leave it there once you
feel the difference.
It'll buff out, lolLoaned it to a friend. Looks like I'll have to be filing an insurance claim now.

(Just kidding)
Ha Ha I know...What have you done to your 5 ton this week.
Other than bury it in mud and ripping half the Forrest down to get it out.
Picking on you Mike.
Yeah, you realize when you do your first fluid change it's just better to buy a 55 gallon drum of the oil and an empty one to put the waste in.Changed the gear oil on all axles, transfer case,, and replace both filters and oil in the tranny, then wondered why I got this best that takes soo much fluids!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know the feeling, but if you have to go the bulk route they make a drum pump that screws into the big bung on the lid.Thanks I'll stick to 5 gal buckets that I can LIFT by my SELF and not use a small crane to get it out of my truck.![]()
