    What's the best way to wire a 12v winch into my 5-ton?

    I looked at adding a 12V alt. to our 5 ton and believe that it could be done but I am not a good enough fabricator to build a bracket.Has anyone ever made one or know where a pic of one can be seen?Can someone build and sell a bracket for a Cummins?

    ANYBODY HAVE THE SAME EXP. WITH INSPECTIONS?

    Re: RE: ANYBODY HAVE THE SAME EXP. WITH INSPECTIONS? Where does it say you don't have to have an inspection sticker or insurance in Texas?Any vehicle on the road is supposed to have liability insurance.You can't buy license plates without liability or get a vehicle inspected.

    Hmmm....Sandblasting ???

    Have you priced renting a sandblaster?Rhino lining is not cheap.The deuce in Erath Co. was real rough and they chipped the paint off and painted it and it looks alright.The brush is gonna take care of your paint.We used black tractor paint on the frame and bumpers.The price depends on the brand...

    I think it could be done but I don't think it would be worth it.He wants $2400 for the truck and who knows what it would take to make it go.It would take about 4 months for them to get it done and she didn't sound like she really wanted to mess with it.I haven't given up completely yet....I'm...

    Looks like this truck is not going to be able to be purchased.The title is in someone elses name and if I could find him it also has a lien on it.I think it is going to be almost impossible to do.I guess I will start looking for another truck.If anyone has one for sale in the Dallas/Ft. Worth...

    The lady at the junk yard doesn't think she has a title.I took the vin # to DMV and they said it has a good title but it is not in the name of the junk yard guy.In Texas the yard ussually sends the title to Austin for salvage and it is almost impossible to get it back.So that means there is...

    12 Volt power

    When you say 12/24 volt generator does it charge a third battery?Will one of them fit on a Cummins?Would it take much modification?How much?Our pump keeps a third battery charged now but it only starts the pump and runs the radio and a small light bar.We bought 24V flood lights.I wish someone...

    If the truck has a title I will probably try to buy it.The big thing is that I really don't need a dump truck.Since buying the M813 for my fire dept.I have wanted one real bad.If I get it I will have to do some trading for something else.The only other trucks I have seen for sale around here...
