    Any TX class A, B Driver's license test experiences in a 5 ton?

    Hah. Wes, I know an exempt class B is required at minimum. I'm asking about experiences during the testing, ie if they let you use your 5 ton for the driving test (I have conflicting Info), what to look out for, etc.

    Any TX class A, B Driver's license test experiences in a 5 ton?

    I'm considering domiciling in Texas, and using my M934 as an RV. Being that TX requires a Class B to drive anything over 26k,but not a CDL if it's noncommercial, I'm curious if any of you guys have gotten a class A or B license because you have a 5 ton, or if you've taken your class A or B DL...

    Get a lower radiator hose NOW, you will not be able to find it in stores, and it's different for the M1010 than it is for K series because of the lower belt for the second alt. If you get the one from the store, it will hit the belt..... ask me how I know..

    I have those. They're junk. No ability to aim the beam, it's a flood that blinds people and doesn't put a lot of light on the road. They have knockoff Trucklite models, you'd be MUCH better served with those, and have a more OEM look. Either of these would be a MUCH better option.... NOT...

    LED lights draw significantly less power and produce significantly less heat. So little heat, in fact, that most will not produce enough to melt ice/snow from headlights while driving. Worry not. Whoever told you LED lights will heat up/burn wires are $%&$%% idiots and should be ignored...

    *NSFW* mild language https://youtu.be/SGrdXGzJZc4?t=45s You'll see how gently they drive, and how low their center of gravity is... They have 1000 gallon tanks and 100 gallon foam tanks. Those alarms you hear are the tilt alarms, advising the apparatus operator that the vehicle operation...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Water is 8.34 pounds. 8.34 * 750 gallons (Just a ballpark)= 6255 lbs... Not bad, right? Wellllll Water is dynamic, not static... Any turn, change in velocity/momentum, angle of attack (hill), etc will cause a lot of force to go in some direction. 3 tons doesn't sound like much. but wait...
