There are two kinds of 5 Ton owners.
Those who have replaced the front axle boots,
and those who are going to have to do it...
Not real hard, a bit tedious, read and learn...
It is probably off a current use truck. Thus secretive.
I can't find it anywhere, with 42 of them I hope you can get creative!
PTO Shafts? Maybe a PTO warehouse can use them?
I took delivery on two of THESE BABIES from GL just yesterday.
They are sealed in factory boxes.
Should be plenty of room drivers side, passenger side, we will have to
move batteries but I want to do that anyways to address the worn
insulation on the battery cables that most 5 tons suffer...
Arte Johnson, from Rowan and Martins Laugh-In used to say; Verrrrrry Interrressstinggg...
I just glanced at the above link and found this lil nugget;
"snip...but for the ones that have air to release and have spring suspension I cut down a set of caging bolts to 3 inches and spot welded the...
Great job!

I am trying to meter electrical usage in the camper, total used,
at any given time accumulated or maybe a 2 week or 30 day interval.
Lights are not LED.
I have a need to monitor how much power I use in MV camper.
120V, basically just a camper trailer w/ A/C, lights, refer, radio etc.
Is there an El Cheapo way to do this?
That data plate would be easy to draw in CAD and have a water or lazer cutter
punch it out. Mail it to me and I will draw it.
Also there are data plate people who do just data plates...

Use a PROPERLY SIZED screwdriver tip.
Seat driver tip and smack it w/ a hammer WHILE you are turning counterclockwise
AFTER YOU HAVE CLEANED TEH SLOTS OF PAINT AND RUST ETC...
Job #1 when you buy ANY vehicle is to pull all lug nuts and make sure
they are removable BEFORE you need to take them off. I carry a telescoping
cheater, 3 telescoping pipes, plus the solid bar. I have never had one not come off, or
break. I am sure my day is coming though.
