    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Didn't do too much to the truck today. Took it for a drive because it was actually quite nice out.. Always a good time :driver: After that, I pulled apart my air cleaner housing to pop out the filter. Didn't look too bad. Says 2010 on the bottom of the filter, which matches the last tag riveted...

    Singling out the rear of a 5 ton

    Another option would be replacing the passengers seats with air ride seats, but that would be quite expensive. Or maybe springers, though that wouldn't be cheap either.

    New Wheel Nuts...where to get them?

    No matter what, his DNA will never be female. So Caitlyn/Bruce will always be called "he" by me. Anyway, we're getting a little off topic here...

    Singling out the rear of a 5 ton

    In regards to tires.. Have you considered going back to duals, and using the 9x20 NDT tires? Those tires are CHEAP, probably because most people don't want them. A quick eBay search yielded a number of results.. One guy was selling 11 tires with wheels included for $115! Another guy was selling...

    Singling out the rear of a 5 ton

    Yeah I think I have seen at least one person bob their truck and leave the axle in the rear position.. Looked pretty funky to me. But hey.. They're your trucks, and I can certainly see where you're coming from regarding saving money on tires/increased passenger comfort.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Received my new turn signal switch yesterday, and did the install today. Talk about easy.. Took maybe 5 minutes :) New one works like a charm 8) Also ordered the air filter to go with my new filter cage.. Wix 46664 was the correct filter number. Got one for $40.. Not too bad. Between that and...

    Joining the 5 ton club.

    I still can't believe that people scrap these things.. I understand that they can't all be good trucks that run and drive fine, but they still should be parted out and sold as such. I mean.. Steel scrap is like $20 per ton, right? So a complete truck will give 10 tons or so. $200? Probably...

    932 vs 925

    Yeah my 931A2 can be a little bumpy on the road. I've gotten used to it now that I have driven it around a number of times. Luckily they have redone most of the major roads around here lately, so there aren't really any rough patches. As others have said, it's mostly due to lack of rear weight...

    Alternative Cab Heater Opions / Options

    I would love to go the FFH route.. The heater is pretty terrible in these things. And if this is going to be my daily driver, I need heat almost right away in Winter. If you happen to remember who had those kits please PM me. I will go check the Classifieds now to see if I can find them.
