This is a quote from earlier in this thread....
"You do not have to run the inserts. They will bead just fine and hold air. Heck I think even with 16.00s and you run it flat you might not even know even without the insert!"
I have heard this more then once as well. When you think about it, how...
It will be good to see what others say too, but as long as the things that are highlighted are true, maybe you should run it more and get more evidence. Does your temp gauge work good? If the truck gets up to temp and holds it well, and doesn't overheat, your cooling system is doing what it is...
I agree that the steering ram isn't attached well. Looks like someone squeezed a bird where great welds belong. Material probably lighter then I would have went as well. You are a welder, judging by your user name. You will be able to straighten that out.
That's what I was thinking too. I have never installed one, but have heard that you need to do a bit of shroud trimming to put on a 5 ton pump. I sure agree tho that as long as you can get one with a gear and ready to bolt on, there could be no beter solution. If someone is getting ready to...

Combat wheels, FMTV wheels ,,is there a difference? I haven't heard of FMTV wheels. There is combat wheels on my 5 ton. (at least that is what I thought they were) Anyways, 1 thing worth mentioning is that the combat wheels with there big offset like a 14.00x20 tire. 16.00's tend to run a...
I didn't see a 5 ton pump or any other pump on the front. Where is it, anybody? P.S. This might shoulda been added to one of the many existing power steering threads..
Replacing the beer was a good move to start with..I am hoping someone who has worked on these engines chimes in with their take on it. I cannot recall ever reading about that idler gear shaft shearing before, but that would sure put the stops on the oil pressure. You could fix it by getting the...
