    LED Lights on a 5 Ton - Drop In? Or more to it?

    Thanks! Raises a few more questions: Do you have the Grote LED lights or the Truck-Lite (or something else)? Is needing to replace the flasher true of all different makes or only specific makes? Is there just one flasher for the whole truck, or one per light? Are there differences between the...

    LED Lights on a 5 Ton - Drop In? Or more to it?

    Saw these and am wondering if these are a drop-in replacement or if there is more to it. Would like an unbiased opinion as opposed to the opinion of someone trying to make a sale. Does anyone have any experience with these?: REMOVED - Sorry about that. Here is the PN info to which my question...

    Steering column change

    Looks like 3/4" hole, so will have to enlarge the hole in the dash. Confirmed the pin-out in the datasheet. Also confirmed spring return is to run, not to off: Looking at Connector Receptacle on Keyed Ignition Switch: Connector Key on Top 6 1 5 2 4 3 Key in Off Position: Pin...

    Update: Switch does not come with the harness, so ordered the harness. So far my Bill of Materials (BOM): (1) Cole Hersee 95060-04 Sealed 3 Position Ignition Switch (http://www.colehersee.com/home/item/cat/63/95060-04/) (1) Cole Hersee 31101 Deutsch Style Wiring Harness...

    Low Air Pressure Warning Observation

    Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving! I smoked turkey for the first time and it came out great! My M925A2 has had the low air pressure warning alarm going since I got it. Both gauges have shown good air pressure, so I was figuring I needed to replace one or both of the low pressure switches...

    No worries. If we meet some day, I'll buy you all a beer. Good site and good group.

    Cruise Control

    Roger. Well put. Not really sure how many miles a year I will put on it, but can imagine doing some trips of a few hundred miles at a time, on which cruise control would be nice to have.

    Cruise Control

    Sheesh. I am relatively new to the board, but have already been able to discern there is no shortage of people on the board to tell me I am crazy and that I do not really want what I want. Have already encountered a few: why would you want to pay $60 for drop-in, lockable door handles when you...

    Anybody installed cruise control? Looking at this, but not sure if it will work on my M925A2: http://cruisecontrolking.com/chooseyourcruise.html

    Steering column change

    Thanks! Found the part numbers (MS27144-1 & MS27142-2) and did a search for those part numbers and found these: http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/rushcoq20msa.html

    Steering column change

    The website says spring return to off, but the datasheet says spring return to on. I think the datasheet is correct, and the website is incorrect, as why would you have a spring return from start to off? Datasheet: Website:

    Where do you get the packard connectors? Been looking at the web, but most of what comes up looks to be packard-delphi multi-pin stuff with plastic housings. Where do you find the rubber booted singles like those on the truck? Thanks again for the help.

    Steering column change

    Thanks for the pics. Makes it seem simple--simple for someone to hotwire too! Ordered one of these: http://www.colehersee.com/home/item/cat/63/95060-04/ Perhaps by some miracle it will fit. If not, I guess I will have to make the hole bigger. Will have to splice into the wiring also.

    Steering column change

    I would pay it for one if it would drop in / no modifications needed. Not too keen on drilling out / enlarging the hole, though.

    Steering column change

    Thanks. Anyone have the specs for which the switch needs to be rated? Obviously do not want to put something in that cannot carry the appropriate loads. Would this work? It looks well sealed, but is only rated for "5A at 24V": http://www.colehersee.com/home/item/cat/63/95060-03/ UPDATE: says...

    new locking door handles installed

    Dropped right in as claimed. Worth the price to me to not have to mess with grinding, fitting, and painting. Thank you!

    Steering column change

    Been searching for an answer on the site, but have not found one. What make/model keyed ignition did you use for your 5 ton? Was it a drop-in/no-mod swap? Which 5 ton do you have? I am looking for a drop-in keyed ignition swap-out for an M925A2.

    I would like to order a set of these locking door handles. Would you please post the manufacturer and part number info and/or ordering info for these? Thanks.

    Synthetic Fluids

    According to Evans Cooling website, no additives are necessary when using their Heavy Duty Waterless Coolant. The claim is there is no water in the coolant, therefore cavitation is not an issue at the temperatures the engine will operate: URL...
