Thankyou for the helpful response. 54REo I do agree as well, good point. Now I am curious about the debate over pre and post turbo location. I do really think it will be pre turbo. But if I could gain more insight as to why all the other manufacturers go with the post turbo setup I would feel...

A much debated topic. Being a diesel mechanic it does make sense to mount the temp probe in the pre-turbo location. However, most leading truck manufacturers for years have always mounted their's post turbo. Mack, CAT, Cummins, Int'l, and many others mount it post turbo. Also if one were to...

Location for pyro Can someone help elaborate on this topic. Perhaps I posted in the wrong discussion. Could sure use some insight though.Thanks.

You may want to double check the thread pitch on the FILLER PLUG. I think that is a standard coarse thread. The drain plug I believe is a pipe thread. If you havent put oil into the hub yet. Just compare the two threads against each other. You could probably find a replacement from a good heavy...

Grey Wolf and others. I am glad to have stumbled apon this topic. I am about to install a pyro on my LDS 465 1A and I have not done so yet because I am undecided of location. I am a diesel mech and I fully agree on pre turbo location. However, why is it that MAck, CAT, and Cummins all have a...

What I have done is purchased 2 marine deep cyle, 12 volt batteries and I built a wooden box to carry them. I hook them up in the box in series with permanent leads. I then bought a cheap two wheel dolly and I carry the box with the batteries in them so now if the occasion arrives I can jump...

Gattlin spud gun. Please do keep me informed.

Has anyone installed an additional temp gauge on their LDS 465 1a. Was curious to put in another gauge for a backup. I have noticed several plugs in the area of the OEM sensor. One is 1/2" some are 3/8 pipe. Has someone done this yet? I got the gauge cheap and figured it would be nice to see if...

I hope the diameter of der spud launcher ist atleast 2". KAboom. My favorite toy as well.

I am new to this. However, Have seen this topic before. My experience has told me" BOHICA" when it comes to this one, if you know what I mean. I have heard that some of the popular distributors that are commonly used carry import knock- off that are exact reproduction. Great debate over this...

I have just put 2 new ones on my 5 ton. No problems. I have had previous ones that were very old. No problems. One problem I think certain people run into is that they over tighten the mounting screws. The metal ones hold up to a over toque situation better, they do not distort as easy. try...

Does anyone have an illustration on how to properly install the oem winter grille cover to the grille of the 5 tons. I checked the manuals and no detailed illustration exists. Thanks.

I have recently replaced my air motors for the wipers. I have heard of upgrade kits. Can someone give some insight to this. Those oem wipers are cheese. I would like to be able to use something that would be more readily available. Thanks.

Tank straps victorious. Graet option as well. Will use this method as an option. Thanks.

Fuel tank Major Tom. Where did you come across some rubber roofing. Great Idea.

Also while I have your attention. My sending unit rubber gasket is wasted. Any recommendations for that part?

Thanks. Yes thats what I was thinking too. I wonder if there is a way too get some rubber for that application and make them myself?

Can anyone give advice on my fuel talk. The tank is off a m54-a2 5ton. I have removed the tank to replace the sending unit. The tank straps are good. But the cushion material on the straps is hammered. Didnt know if anyone made their own fix or knows were I can get some replacements. As always...
