Ah.. You must have an A1. You're lucky enough to have a nice little "filler" door in the cab. In the A2, because the engine is smaller, the dipstick tube is in front of the firewall, kind of below where the turbo sits. A major pain having to strap in a long funnel with ties, then climb up and...

Do you have any sound clips? ;) BTW, always nice to see another member in Northern Illinois :)

He was saying that the A2 axle has a flat bottom, unlike the earlier axles. I'm just trying to figure out what he is referring to.. :confused:

I'm guessing you have the NHC250? I think my 6CTA 8.3 was exactly 5 gallons.

Yeah.. That must have sucked pretty bad :( And our wipers don't even have the manual lever like the older trucks do..

Where did you end up getting your coolant filter from?

lol.. You're just getting old. Happens to everyone eventually :) So when are you going to pick up an M939 series 5 ton? ;)

Any pics CSM? We need more pics ;)

Weird.. Is the wheel really that close to the door in your truck? Your truck must have a smaller cab than my M939 series truck. Or maybe a bigger steering wheel?

Very nice setup :) :goodjob:

There are differences between A1 and A2 axle housings? I had no idea.. Do you have any comparison pictures?

:grd: I'm excited to see what kind of results you guys are going to get! I want to do some of this stuff too ;)

Done anything else lately? We need more pics!!!!! :) :drool: :clinto::naner::jumpin::grd::D

For what it's worth, someone told me that there is a screw or something on them to adjust the sound. Never actually took a look at that though. I do agree that the stock horns leave a lot to be desired.. I say you should get yourself a train horn ;)

Those Military Guys sell an overhead console with a speaker for softtops and hardtops. It also can be fitted with a radio, or whatever else you want. I also recall seeing a member here with a radio mounted underneath the dash.. Can't remember who it was though.

Lovely weather you're having.. Yeah I have used the 5 ton wipers in a very heavy downpour, but I have yet to use them during heavy driven snow. Although, they do move pretty fast on high speed.

Feel free to send those my way.. For free ;) :)

See post 3316 :roll: :p

Yeah that's how it is done on my A2 5-ton.. Back through the dipstick tube. The 4 gallons of trans fluid took a LONG time to put in, especially since it is in a bit of an awkward spot :(

Well based on what he said, looks like it would be $280 Canadian (20% of $1000 is $200, then multiply that by 1.4 exchange rate.) That's not too bad for a heavy duty truck starter.
